Andrew, I think that the view is missing something:
def enter_name(request):
my_number = request.user.number
name = Name.objects.filter(pk=my_number).values_list('city', flat=True)
*data = {...}
*
* return render_to_response('template.html', data,
context_instance=RequestContext(request))*
where data is a dictionary with the values you want to be available in your
template. So, for the template you posted, you could write
data = {'name':name[0]}
Here, you need to decide what you need to pass: why do you use filter()
instead of get()? Do you need just one value or multiple?
If you need to pass a list to the template just fill the dictionary
accordingly, but follow Daniel's advice when rendering the list in the
template.
Regards,
Leo
