How to get information from Django_tables2 row?

django, django-tables2, django-views

Solution

You need to choose a suitable value for the `CheckBoxColumn`. Generally if you're displaying a queryset, you'll use the `pk` of each object for the `CheckBoxColumn`. In your case this would look like:

class EnrollmentTable(tables.Table):
    selection = tables.CheckBoxColumn(accessor='pk')
    student = tables.Column()
    class = tables.Column()

Then you'll need to render the table within a form, so that the user can submit the form, e.g.:

<form action="/someurl/" method="post">
    {% load render_tables from django_tables2 %}
    {% render_table table %}
    <input type="submit"/>
</form>

Then you'll need a view hooked up to `/someurl/`. In your case the view will need to look at the `POST` variable `selection`:

def someview(request):
    if request.method == "POST":
        pks = request.POST.getlist("selection")
        selected_objects = SomeModel.objects.filter(pk__in=pks)
        # do something with selected_objects
    else:
        # ...

Problem
