Your Jobs Page

Part of the Class-Based Views section of Coddy's Django journey. Lesson 17 of 18.

Posters want one place for the jobs they posted. The menu already shows logged-in users a Your jobs link to /my-jobs/, but there is no page there yet.

From here you build with what this section taught, without an example. The page is a list, so it is a ListView. Its rows depend on who asks, so they are chosen in get_queryset(), where self.request.user is at hand. Only a logged-in user has jobs to see. Give it a template of its own: jobs/job_list.html belongs to the public list.

Challenge

Medium

Give each poster a page with their own jobs.

  1. In jobs/views.py, add MyJobsView, for signed in users only. It lists their jobs, newest first, on one page.
  2. Create jobs/my_jobs.html from jobs/base.html: an <h1> Your jobs, then one <li class="job"> per job, title in <strong>. With none, show You have not posted a job yet.
  3. In jobs/urls.py, add my-jobs/ named mine.

Log in as ada (coddy-pass-123) and press Your jobs: you see her 6 jobs.
