Creating a CMS
Now that you have created a versatile data model, you are going to build the CMS. The CMS will allow instructors to create courses and manage their content. You need to provide the following functionality:
- List the courses created by the instructor
- Create, edit, and delete courses
- Add modules to a course and reorder them
- Add different types of content to each module
- Reorder course modules and content
Let’s start with the basic CRUD views.
Creating class-based views
You are going to build views to create, edit, and delete courses. You will use class-based views for this. Edit the views.py file of the courses application and add the following code:
from django.views.generic.list import ListView
from .models import Course
class ManageCourseListView(ListView):
model = Course
template_name = 'courses/manage/course/list.html'
def get_queryset(self):
qs = super().get_queryset()
