X editable django and jquery yu - ajax

Question

I'm trying to update a field using X Editable but I do not make it till the end.
Here is my code:
#views.py
def update_task(request, task_id):
if request.is_ajax():
task = request.GET.get('task')
updated_task = Task.objects.get(pk=task_id)
updated_task.task = task
updated_task.save()
return HttpResponse('true')
else:
return HttpResponse('not ajax')
#urls.py
url(r'^update_task/(?P<task_id>\d+)/$', 'todo.views.update_task', name='update_task'),
#html file
<script>
$(document).ready(function () {
$("#task").editable({
type: 'text',
pk: 144,
url: '/update_task/144/',
title: 'Enter task',
});
});
</script>
When I'm trying to update it console gives me:
link/update_task/144 404 (Not found)

I don't see that you have a url defined to capture the task_id
I think you need to either put the task_id in the parameter, so something like url + '?task_id=144.
If you do this, you need to change your javascript line to look like this:
url: '/update_task/' + '?task_id=144',
or, you need to leave it as is, and add a line to your url conf to capture the parameter:
url(r'^update_task/(?P<task_id>\d+)/$', 'todo.views.update_task', name='update_task'),
and then in your views:
def update_task(request, task_id=None):#if task_id is optional, set it to =None or something
if request.is_ajax():
do stuff here with task_id
also, you will need to take out the task_id = request.GET.get('task_id')
because task_id is not in the GET body.
