Right. So my thought process was that if I override it and place
additional information there it would be available in the template.
Obviously my thinking is incorrect, but where?
So how do I add variables to the context so that I can display their
value in the template?
In this case I want to get the title of the paper and display it in
the template. If I do this in get():
def get(self, request, *args, **kwargs):
paper = Paper.objects.filter(id=kwargs['pk'])
kwargs['title'] = paper[0].title
print('Title: ',kwargs['title'])
form = self.form_class(initial=self.initial)
return render(request, self.template_name, {'form': form})
IT prints it to the terminal okay. But (using DjDT) I do not see
where 'title' was added to kwargs. Not do I see it in the template
context.
Any idea what I am missing or how to do this?
Thanks,
Tim
