Then you are slicing it for the first 2 records, that's why you see 2
records. Use .first() instead the slicing to get only one record (or
slice 1, [:1] or [0]). Your template code also support several
elements, you should check it

Hi.
Could you show your template also?

Django view not working for practice project
Context:
I am creating a website to house some webcomics I made as a project to
practice Django. I am adapting Django's tutorial to create the site (
https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/2.0/intro/tutorial03/ About halfway down
the page under "Write views that actually do something"). I am having some
difficulty getting part of my view to work as expected.
Expectation:
What I see when I go to http://127.0.0.1:8000/futureFleet/ : latest_comic
What I want to see: A dictionary of my 2 comics.
Question:
I think I am doing something wrong at this line
context = {'latest_comic': latest_comic}. I am adapting this line from the
tutorial. I think the line needs to be run to connect to the template. What
do I do? What am I missing?
Models.py
class Comic(models.Model):
#title
comic_title_text = models.CharField(max_length=200)
#date
comic_pub_date = models.DateTimeField('comic date published')
#image
comic_location = models.CharField(max_length=200)
#explanation
comic_explanation_text = models.CharField(max_length=400, blank=True)
def __str__(self):
return self.comic_title_text
def was_published_recently(self):
return self.comic_pub_date >= timezone.now() -
datetime.timedelta(days=1)
views.py
def index(request):
latest_comic = Comic.objects.order_by('-comic_pub_date')[:2]
context = {'latest_comic': latest_comic}
return HttpResponse(context)
# return render(request, 'futureFleet/index.html', context) This sends to
the template but doesn’t work at the moment
Database
"Welcome Aboard" "2018-01-15 21:02:54"
