i have a url :
path('admin-panel/users/update/<id>/',user_update_for_admin, name="user_update_for_admin"),
and the view for that url:
def user_update_for_admin(request,id):
user = get_object_or_404(UsersForAdmin, id=id)
everything works fine but if an id is not provided in the url for exemple if i type :
admin-panel/users/update/
i got this error: Field 'id' expected a number but got 'update'. how do i fix that ?
Use a path converter [Django-doc] such that the URL will only "fire" in case it is an number (sequence of digits):
path(
'admin-panel/users/update/<int:id>/',
user_update_for_admin,
name='user_update_for_admin'
),In case you pass a non-int value, it will not "fire" and look for other paths. If no paths capture the url pattern, it will return a 404, which is probably the most sensical HTTP response.
You furthermore need to rewrite the path above to:
path(
'admin-panel/users/<int:id>/',
user_detail_for_admin,
name='user_detail_for_admin'
)
user_update_for_admin function? You did use <int:...>, right?admin-panel/users/<id> (so where update matches with id).admin-panel/users/update/ however should not trigger this view in the first place, since it requires at least one character for <id>.<int:...> as well. In fact, probably most (all) <id>s are better replaced by <int:id>.
