055-Adding the 'Single Post' Page-opendir.cloud. #pythondjango #singlepost #programmer #coding

In this lecture, we will be adding the **Single Post** page to our project.
This page will allow users to view individual blog posts.

First, we need to create a new template for the **Single Post** page. We can do this by creating a new file in the `templates/blog` directory called `single_post.html`.

In this template, we will need to include the following:

* The header and footer templates.
* A link back to the homepage.
* The title of the blog post.
* The content of the blog post.

Here is an example of a simple **Single Post** template:




```

html
{% extends 'templates/base.html' %}

{% block content %}
( h1 ){{ post.title }}( /h1 )
( p ){{ post.content }}( /p )
( a href="{% url 'blog:index' %}" )Back to homepage( /a )
{% endblock %}


```




Once we have created the **Single Post** template, we need to update the `blog/urls.py` file to include a new URL pattern for the **Single Post** page.

Here is an example of a new URL pattern for the **Single Post** page:




```

python
from django.urls import path

from .views import single_post

urlpatterns = [
path('', views.index, name='index'),
path('( slug:slug )/', single_post, name='single_post'),
]


```




Now that we have updated the `blog/urls.py` file, we need to create a new view function for the **Single Post** page. We can do this by creating a new file in the `blog/views.py` directory called `single_post.py`.

In this file, we will need to create a new view function called `single_post()`. This function will take the slug of the blog post as a parameter and return the **Single Post** template, with the content of the blog post populated.

Here is an example of a simple `single_post()` view function:




```

python
from django.shortcuts import render

from .models import Post

def single_post(request, slug):
post = Post.objects.get(slug=slug)
return render(request, 'blog/single_post.html', {'post': post})


```




Now that we have created the `single_post()` view function, we need to update the `blog/urls.py` file to point to the new view function.

Here is an example of an updated `blog/urls.py` file:




```

python
from django.urls import path

from .views import index, single_post

urlpatterns = [
path('', index, name='index'),
path('( slug:slug )/', single_post, name='single_post'),
]


```
