jax to submit a like button leading to LikeView() missing 1 required positional argument: 'pk'

also what is your URL?. can you show that?

seems like issue in your url pattern .

My url pattern in the main project

path('like/', views.LikeView, name='like_post'),

why var declation in $ in ajax call. You can simply assign like this "var pk= this_.attr("href");" .. try changing this and let us know .

could you please show me where exactly to change it by copying it in the ajax code

change this line "$var pk= $(this).attr('value');" to "var pk= $(this).attr('value');"

nothing is happening no action is taking place

Actually there is an action taking place but i have to refresh manually to change from like to unlike and the other way around

are you getting "missing pk error" now? . If not we are in right direction

yes we are in the right direction no errors now

can you console the response and check the output in success, "success:function(response){ console.log(response); }|

how do i do this ? console the response and check the output in success, "success:function(response){ console.log(response); }|

when you click "like" button whats happening?

nothing happens I have to refresh to see the change from like to unlike

where is this $('#like-section').html(response['form']) button?.. i dont see like-section id in your form

def LikeView(request): # post = get_object_or_404(Post, id=request.POST.get('post_id')) post = get_object_or_404(Post, id=request.POST.get('id')) # stuff = get_object_or_404(Post, id=self.kwargs['pk']) # total_likes = stuff.total_likes() liked = False if post.likes.filter(id=request.user.id).exists(): post.likes.remove(request.user) liked = False else: post.likes.add(request.user) liked = True

context = {
    # 'total_likes': total_likes,
    'liked': liked,
    'post': post
}

if request.is_ajax:
    html = render_to_string('like_section.html', context, request=request)
    return JsonResponse({'form': html})

i think the ajax now is working fine the problem now is with the count if i added it in the context the button is not working if it is removed it works perfectly and the like is added and removed in the admin

i hope you are referring LikeView. If yes, total_like is a variable is assigned to that, are you getting the total_like count in your ajax success output?

yes the only thing im not getting the count in the ajax

Awesome !!!. You can console the log & check the count value whether its passing or not.

the count value is passing but i removed it from the function because it is causing the error and I dont know how to return it back : i have commented it in the following code to help me with it

def LikeView(request): # post = get_object_or_404(Post, id=request.POST.get('post_id')) post = get_object_or_404(Post, id=request.POST.get('id')) # stuff = get_object_or_404(Post, id=self.kwargs['pk']) # total_likes = stuff.total_likes() liked = False if post.likes.filter(id=request.user.id).exists(): post.likes.remove(request.user) liked = False else: post.likes.add(request.user) liked = True

context = {
    # 'total_likes': total_likes,
    'liked': liked,
    'post': post
}

if request.is_ajax:
    html = render_to_string('like_section.html', context, request=request)
    return JsonResponse({'form': html})
