Very odd. On a whim, I changed:
<ul>
{% for instructor in instructors %}
<li>{{ instructor.first_name }}</li> #there is no value output
here
{% endif %}
</ul>
to
<ul>
{% for i in instructors %}
<li>{{ i.first_name }}</li> #this works?!
here
{% endif %}
</ul>
Can anyone offer some reason why that would work? Just for my own
sanity :)
Cheers,
Brandon
