I have implemented a like button onto my view_post page, but the like's aren't been registered. When the button is clicked the page is redirected correctly but no likes are added.

views

def get_post(request, slug):try:post = BlogPost.objects.get(slug=slug)except BlogPost.DoesNotExist: messages.error(request, 'This post does not exist.')post = Nonecomment_form = CommentForm()return render(request, 'mhpapp/view-post.html', {'post': post, 'comment_form': comment_form,})def like_post(request, slug):template_name = 'view-post.html'post = get_object_or_404(BlogPost, slug=slug)liked = Falseif post.likes.filter(id=request.user.id).exists():post.likes.remove(request.user)liked = Falseelse:post.likes.add(request.user)messages.success(request, ("Thanks for the like...:-)"))liked = Truereturn redirect('get_post', {'slug': slug,})

urls

path('<slug:slug>/', views.get_post, name='viewpost'),
path('<slug:slug>/',views.like_post, name='likepost'),

html

 <strong>{{ post.total_likes }} Likes</strong>{% if user.is_authenticated %}<form action="{% url 'likepost' post.slug %}" method="POST">{% csrf_token %}{% if request.user in post.likes.all %} <button class="btn btn-outline-secondary rounded-0 custom-button" id="like" type="sumbit" name="post-id" value="{{ post.slug }}"><i class="fa-solid fa-heart-crack"></i></button>{% else %}<button class="btn btn-outline-secondary rounded-0 custom-button" id="like" type="sumbit" name="post-id" value="{{ post.slug }}"><i class="fa-solid fa-heart"></i></button>{% endif %}</form>{% else %}{% endif %}

You cannot set same path url for two views. django will loop into all url and take first which match the url path.

So in your case, your reversed url likepost always call get_post view I think.

Test like that:

path('view/<slug:slug>/', views.get_post, name='viewpost'),
path('like/<slug:slug>/',views.like_post, name='likepost'),
