Most efficient way to create an Add Event button [Django / Python]?
An attempt was made to implement the "Visit" button. It's simple (or so I thought). A user with a profile clicks "Visit" and a checkmark appears. Can't get this to work on the Django / Python side. ie: Place this user who clicked "Attend" of the participant (list) within the event.
Template:
{% if is_attending %}
<button class="btn" disabled="disabled">
<i class="icon-ok-sign"></i> Attending
</button>
{% else %}
<form class="left" method="POST" action="/profile/event/{{ event.id }}/">
{% csrf_token %}
<input type="hidden" name="profile_id" value="user" />
<button class="btn">
Attending
</button>
</form>
{% endif %}
Models:
class Event(models.Model):
created = models.DateTimeField(auto_now_add=True)
modified = models.DateTimeField(auto_now=True)
owner = models.ForeignKey(User, null=True, blank=True, on_delete=models.SET_NULL)
name = models.CharField(max_length=200)
location = models.CharField(max_length=200)
start_date = models.DateTimeField(auto_now=False, auto_now_add=False)
end_date = models.DateTimeField(auto_now=False, auto_now_add=False)
about = models.TextField(null=True, blank=True)
attendees = models.ManyToManyField(Profile, null=True, blank=True)
View:
@login_required
def attending_event(request, event_id):
event = get_object_or_404(Event, id=event_id)
if request.method == 'POST':
try:
id = request.POST.get('profile_id')
attendee = Profile.objects.get(id=id)
relationship = Event.objects.create(attendees__user=attendee)
is_attending = True
except:
pass
return HttpResponseRedirect('/profile/event/' + event_id + '/')
else:
if not Event.objects.filter(attendees__user=request.user).exists():
is_attending = False
data = {
'is_attending': is_attending
}
return render_to_response('profiles/event.html', data, context_instance=RequestContext(request))
Perhaps there is something I am missing and cannot see what I am doing wrong. But if anyone can suggest some ideas / advice on how to do this; I would really appreciate it.

Just by giving you a hint, change it according to your needs
Template:
{% if is_attending %}
<button class="btn"> # this code will executes when is_attending is True
<i class="icon-ok-sign"></i> Attending
</button>
{% else %}
<form class="left" method="POST" action="/profile/event/{{ event.id }}/"> # Always user reverse urls instead of Hard coded
{% csrf_token %}
<input type="hidden" name="profile_id" value="{{profile.id}}" />
<button class="btn">
Attending
</button>
</form>
{% endif %}
View:
@login_required
def event_profile(request, event_id)
event = get_object_or_404(Event, id=event_id)
if request.method == 'POST':
try:
id = request.POST.get('profile_id')
attendee = Profile.objects.get(id=id)
relationship = Event.objects.create(attendees__user=attendee, .... ) # set other variable you want
is_attending = True
else:
# check in your event either your profile user is already attending or not? and set is_attending variable according to it
data = {
'is_attending': is_attending,
....
}
return render_to_response('my_template.html',
data,
context_instance=RequestContext(request))
