    <p>I'm creating two POST calls. One using a django form and one using angular js via a resource xhr.</p> <p>The angular setup looks like this:</p> <pre><code>myModule.factory('gridData', function($resource) { //define resource class var root = {{ root.pk }}; var csrf = '{{ csrf_token }}'; return $resource('{% url getJSON4SlickGrid root.pk %}:wpID/', {wpID:'@id'},{ get: {method:'GET', params:{}, isArray:true}, update:{method:'POST', headers: {'X-CSRFToken' : csrf }} }); }); </code></pre> <p>With creating an xhr post request as such:</p> <pre><code>item.$update(); </code></pre> <p>This post request is send to the server as expected, but when I want to access the <a href="https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/ref/request-response/#querydict-objects" rel="nofollow noreferrer">QueryDict</a> I cannot access the data passed using:</p> <pre><code>name = request.POST.get('name', None) </code></pre> <p><code>name</code> is always <code>None</code> like this.</p> <p>The issue behind this is that the QueryDict object is getting parsed quite strange. </p> <pre><code> print request.POST &lt;QueryDict: {u'{"name":"name update","schedule":0"}':[u'']}&gt; </code></pre> <p>Whereas I would have expected this result, which I got when I send the data via a "normal" Post request:</p> <pre><code>&lt;QueryDict: {u'name': [u'name update'], u'schedule': [u'0']}&gt; </code></pre> <p>So it seems to be that Django receives something in the POST request which instructs Django to parse the parameters into one string. Any idea how to circumvent this?</p> <p>Update:</p> <p>I found <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/a/6322561/237690">this</a> discussion where they say that the issue is if you provide any content type other than MULTIPART_CONTENT the parameters will be parsed into one string. I checked the content-type send with the POST request and it is really set to <code>'CONTENT_TYPE': 'application/json;charset=UTF-8'</code>. Thus this is likely the issue. Therefore my question is: How can I set the CONTENT_TYPE for a xhr post request created using angular.js resources to <code>MULTIPART_CONTENT</code>?</p>

    2. COThanks. I simply set the header content_type as such 2resulting in the correct content type: 'CONTENT_TYPE': 'application/x-www-form-urlencoded'. Unfortunately the params are still transferred in the way I cannot parse them in the view.

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
