    <p>Generic views allow you to write much shorter code.</p> <p>Compare:</p> <pre><code>from django.http import HttpResponse, HttpResponseRedirect, Http404 from django.shortcuts import render_to_response, get_object_or_404, redirect from myapp.models import Context def edit(request, item_id): object = get_object_or_404(Context, pk=item_id) if request.method == 'POST': form = ContextForm(request.POST, instance=object) if form.is_valid(): form.save() return redirect('myapp-context-index') else: form = ContextForm(instance=object) return render_to_response("myapp/context/edit.html", {'object': object, 'form': form}) </code></pre> <p>with:</p> <pre><code>from django.core import urlresolvers from django.views.generic.create_update import update_object from myapp.models import Context def edit(request, item_id): return update_object(request, object_id=item_id, form_class=ContextForm, template_name="myapp/context/edit.html", post_save_redirect=urlresolvers.reverse("myapp-context-index") ) </code></pre> <p>Like your normal views, they are just normal functions. It is possible to configure the view completely in the URLconf if you like, through I find this usage above a bit more clear.</p> <p>As a BONUS, you also get:</p> <ul> <li>Login authentication checks (pass <code>login_required=True</code>)</li> <li>Success status message from <code>django.contrib.messages</code>.</li> <li>Less code to check for errors.</li> <li>A default <code>ModelForm</code> when you provide a <code>model</code> parameter instead of <code>form_class</code>.</li> </ul> <p>The <code>template_name</code> has a default of "appname/model_form.html", but that's a bit too much for me.</p> <hr> <p>Here is the form class they both share:</p> <pre><code>class ContextForm(forms.ModelForm): """The form for a context""" class Meta: model = Context exclude = ('collection',) def save(self, commit=True): """Overwritten save to force collection_id to a value""" model = super(ContextForm, self).save(commit=False) model.collection_id = 1 if commit: model.save() return model </code></pre>

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.

If you are curious you may find further information in the browser console, which is accessible through the devtools (F12).
