Configuration Admin Area

Allowing Managing Careers Using Admin Panel

Open career/admin.py file and import the new models and register them under admin:

rom django.contrib import admin from django_summernote.admin import SummernoteModelAdmin from .models import Career, Job_requests class Job_requestAdmin(SummernoteModelAdmin): #Set fields to modify by Summernote summernote_fields = (‘experience’, ‘application’) #Set list of properties to display on careers page in admin area list_display = (‘first_name’, ‘last_name’, ’email’, ‘position’, ‘request_date’) #Set which fields will be links to detail page list_display_links = (‘first_name’, ‘last_name’) #Set fields avaible for sorting search_fields = (‘position’, ‘request_date’) #Set max count of records on one page list_per_page = 20 admin.site.register(Job_requests,Job_requestAdmin) class CareerAdmin(SummernoteModelAdmin): #Set fields to modify by Summernote summernote_fields = (‘description’, ‘requirements’, ‘you_got’, ‘expect’) #Set list of properties to display on careers page in admin area list_display = (‘title’, ‘description’) #Set max count of records on one page list_per_page = 20 admin.site.register(Career, CareerAdmin)

Build Front Facing Page

Create View

We will have just one page with list of careers and contact form, so inside career/views.py we need to define just one function.

1.Bring the model from .models import Career, Job_requests

2.Define function and get all careers


def index(request):
    careers = Career.objects.all()

3.Check if form was submited and if yes save new job request to database

if request.method == ‘POST’: first_name = request.POST[‘first_name’] last_name = request.POST[‘last_name’] email = request.POST[’email’] age = request.POST[‘age’] city = request.POST[‘city’] position = request.POST[‘position’] if request.POST[‘expected_salary’]: expected_salary = int(request.POST[‘expected_salary’]) else: Sep expected_salary = 0 start_date = request.POST[‘start_date’] website = request.POST[‘website’] experience = request.POST[‘experience’] application = request.POST[‘application’] jod_request = Job_requests(first_name=first_name, last_name=last_name, email=email, age=age, city=city, position_id=int(position), expected_salary=expected_salary, start_date=start_date, website=website, experience=experience, application=application) jod_request.save()

4.Return data to template file


context = {
        'careers': careers
    }
return render(request, 'career/index.html', context)

Creating URLs

1.Create file urls.py in app folder

2.Add URL rules to this file


from django.urls import path

from . import views

urlpatterns = [
    path('', views.index, name='career')
]

3.In the main app folder, oper urls.py file and include the file you created


urlpatterns = [
    ...
    path('career/', include('career.urls')),
    ...
]

Create HTML Template for this App

1.Create career folder inside templates

2.Create index.html file inside templates/career folder

3.Copy html code to this file from here:
