how TemplateDeleteView is connected with team_confirm_delete.html

Hi Rajan,

The short answer is that the Django class DeleteView automatically adds the model name and appends "_confirm_delete.html".

The slightly longer version is (of course) in the documentation.

If you really want to get crazy, you can dig into the class definition of DeleteView, where you'll see two pertinent items:

template_name_suffix = '_confirm_delete'

and the method get_template_names(), which is fairly long, so I won't provide it in total. Here's the docstring for it:

Return a list of template names to be used for the request. May not be called if render_to_response is overridden. Returns the following list:

• the value of template_name on the view (if provided)
• the contents of the template_name_field field on the object instance that the view is operating upon (if available)
• <app_label>/<model_name><template_name_suffix>.html

So if you override the template_name field, it will use that. Otherwise (except for the weird middle condition I don't really understand), it will default to the model name plus the template_name_suffix which is "confirm_delete".

Hope that's helpful!

Cheers
