Re: How to set block variable in view code?

2014-08-18 Thread Lachlan Musicman
You don't set the block tags in the view. You set the variables in the view - in this example you set var_1_from_view (a single object) and var_2_from_view (a collection/list of sorts) {% block side_hdr %}{% endblock%} {% block content %} {{ var_1_from_view }} {% for item in var_2_from_view

Hi Ram Yep, South supports MySQL - it's that MySQL doesn't support schema-altering statements in transactions. The problem is clearly stated - you are trying to make a field unique despite the data in that field *not* being unique. In particular, it looks like you have two entries with value '12

Show us the URLs - the update url requires either a slug OR a pk - one is sufficient, so you don't need to set up a slug. But the update cbv can only be called from an object's url (the one that you would like to update) - it can't be called from just anywhere. cheers L. On 18 September 2014 02:5
