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()
  ...
