django checkbox get checkbox value from html - django

Question

html file
<form method="post">
{% csrf_token %}
<table border="2" bordercolor="black" width="500" height="100" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="5">
<thead>
<tr>
<th>selection</th>
<th>student name</th>
<th>e-mail</th>
<th>CV</th>
</tr>
</thead>
<tbody>
{% for ta in tas %}
<tr>
<td><input type="checkbox" name="checkbox_list" value="{{ ta.id }}"></td>
<td>{{ ta.user.first_name }} {{ ta.user.last_name }}</td>
<td>{{ ta.user.email }}</td>
<td>view cv</td>
</tr>
{% endfor %}
</tbody>
</table>
<button type="submit">next</button>
</form>
views.py
def ta_ranking(request, id):
print('hello word!')
check_box_list = request.POST.getlist('checkbox_list')
if check_box_list:
print(check_box_list)
potential_ta = TA.objects.filter(id__in=check_box_list)
return render(request, 'ta_ranking.html', {'potential_ta': potential_ta, 'course_id': id})
return redirect('ta_list', id=id)
my question is that the ta_ranking class in views.py didn't be called when I click the submit button in html. How can I fix this problem?
Thanks for any help!

Answer 1

You didn't include the path to the view in your form:
<form method="POST" action="/path/to/ta_ranking">
...
</form>
You also need to add it to your urls.py if you haven't already:
from django.urls import path
from myapp.views import ta_ranking
urlpatterns = [
path('/path/to/ta_ranking', ta_ranking),
]
