Here is my code so far:
*models*
from django.db import models
from django.utils.text import slugify
class Pet(models.Model):
name = models.CharField(max_length=255)
age = models.IntegerField()
slug = models.SlugField(allow_unicode=True, max_length=100,
unique=True, default="default_pet_slug")
def __str__(self):
return self.name
def save(self, *args, **kwargs):
self.slug = slugify(self.name)
super().save(*args, **kwargs)
def get_absolute_url(self):
return reverse("pet:pet_details", kwargs={"slug": self.slug})
*views*
from django.views.generic.detail import DetailView
from pet.models import Pet
class PetDetailView(DetailView):
model = Pet
template_name = "pet_profile.html"
def get_context_data(self, **kwargs):
context = super().get_context_data(**kwargs)
pets = Pet.objects
for pet in pets:
context[pet.name] = pet
return context
*home.html*
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en" dir="ltr">
<head>
<meta charset="utf-8">
<title>Pet Memorial</title>
</head>
<body>
{% for pet in pets %}
<a href="{% url 'pet_details' slug=pet.slug %}">Pet Profile: {{ pet
}}</a>
{% endfor %}
</body>
</html>
I get no errors, but nothing shows up. I have verified that there is an
entry in Pet ("Mocha").
