So when I click on the ingredient update page it will not load at all. It says I need a primary key or slug argument. Its intended purpose is to load that new page and I can select ingredients from the list and update them. Upon success of its mission it is routed to the ‘ingredientupdate’ page reloaded with the updated values.
The problem is theIngredient Update page will not load to begin with. Leaving out the int:pk it is asking for a primary key. So somehow, some way I need to get the primary key or the slug in the url. I cannot supply it in the url conf as it does not accept values there. I would supply it in either the views.py or the tempalte. You told me the template is the place to supply those values.
So I made a url tagg with ‘ingredientupdate’ and ingredient.pk and this supplies the primary key value to the url? Right now I am getting an error, django is saying I have not given it any information.
I will continue to work through the tutorial to find this answer.
