How can I remove a particular item using a popup? - django

Question

I have many items and I want to delete one of them but when I delete one item it turns out that it deletes the last item which exists based on ordering so, if I have 10 records of id which start from 1 to 10 record so, it will remove the item number 10 til if I remove item number 5 will remove the number 10. this case occurs because of popup but if I remove popup and delete the items directly it will remove with no mistake so, How can I remove a particular item using popup?

profile = None
try:
profile = Profile.objects.get(user__slug=slug)
paginator = Paginator(profile.user.user_history.all(), 100)
page_number = request.GET.get('page_number')
history_pages = paginator.get_page(page_number)
except:
return redirect('accounts:index_404')
return render(request, 'accounts/profile.html', {'profile': profile, 'history_pages': history_pages})
def remove_history(request, id=None):
if id and id is not None:
# History.objects.get(id=id)
print(id)
return redirect("accounts:profile", request.user.username)
Note: I tested the delete using print(id)

In your current code you have included popup.html mutliple times so when you click on a tag its not confirm which modal will get open has all are triggering exampleModal i.e :data-target="#exampleModal" .
So , to overcome this one way would be including only one modal and adding form tags around submit button . Then , whenever user click on a tag you can get action value from form where a tag has been clicked and then add this action value inside modal form tag .
Demo Code :
//on click of `a` tag
$(".dropdown-item").on("click", function() {
//get closest form from `a` tag then get action from it
var action_ = $(this).closest("form").attr("action");
$("#exampleModal form").attr("action", action_) //add that action inside modal form tag
console.log(action_)
})
