How to add url parameters to Django template url tag?

Atma picture Atma · Aug 17, 2014 · Viewed 162.5k times · Source

In my view to get url parameters like this:

date=request.GET.get('date','')

In my url I am trying to pass parameters in this way with the url template tag like this:

<td><a href="{% url 'health:medication-record?date=01/01/2001' action='add' pk=entry.id %}" >Add To Log</a></td>

The parameter after the ? is obviously not working, how can I pass this data value in order to retrieve in with a get?

First you need to prepare your url to accept the param in the regex: (urls.py)

url(r'^panel/person/(?P<person_id>[0-9]+)$', 'apps.panel.views.person_form', name='panel_person_form'),

So you use this in your template:

{% url 'panel_person_form' person_id=item.id %}

If you have more than one param, you can change your regex and modify the template using the following:

{% url 'panel_person_form' person_id=item.id group_id=3 %}
