I have a table
import django_tables2 as tables
from .models import Account
from django_tables2.utils import A # alias for Accessor
class AccountTable(tables.Table):
nickname = tables.LinkColumn('accounts:detail', args=[A('pk')])
class Meta:
model = Account
attrs = {'class': 'table table-striped table-hover'}
exclude = ("created", "modified", "destination")
A view:
class DetailView(SingleTableMixin, generic.DetailView):
template_name = 'accounts/account_detail.html'
context_table_name = 'table'
model = Account
table_class = AccountTable
context_object_name = object
@method_decorator(login_required)
def dispatch(self, *args, **kwargs):
return super(DetailView, self).dispatch(*args, **kwargs)
def get_context_data(self, **kwargs):
context = super(DetailView, self).get_context_data(object=self.object)
context['title'] = 'Account Detail'
context['pk'] = self.kwargs.get(self.pk_url_kwarg, None)
return context
And a template:
<!DOCTYPE html>
{% extends "accounts/base.html" %}
{% load django_tables2 %}
{% load render_table from django_tables2 %}
<title>Account Detail</title>
{% block content %}
<br>
<br>
<h1>{{ object.id }} : {{object.nickname}}</h1>
<div>
{% render_table table %}
</div>
{% endblock %}
It correctly gets the object pk and everything, but doesn't send just the one single object to populate the table. I know it gets the object because object.id and object.nickname both display correctly. I know it is possible to display only a specific object because I have another app in the same project that displays only one object if you click the link that takes you to DetailView (the template of which I borrowed to re-create with my Account models). But it will only display a table of ALL the objects.
I can put up request data if necessary. I can promise you I have seen the object in the template context, and indeed it must be or object.id would not work. What's the trick for django-tables2? Apparently I already did it once!

You can override the get_table_data method of your view, and return a list of objects you want to display.
In this case, you want a list with only one item, the object from the DetailView.
def get_table_data(self):
return [self.object]
