Re: Why is my Django template not displaying?

[Luis Zárate]

Use  plays as a list in form.

You are passing context_list as context object so all variable inside
context_list are available in template but not context_list.

Other option is
return render(request,'live.html',
{"context_list": context_list})

That absolutely did it James - I thought I was accessing the instance, but 
what I needed was to access the template context contents of the instance. 
Also, great tip with the django debug toolbar - I've had it installed, but 
didn't know how much it actually shows!

You probably want {% for key, value in plays.items %} since there probably
isn't a context variable called {{ context_list }}.

Install the Django-debug-toolbar. It'll tell you everything that's
available in the template context and provide what templates were actually
rendered on every page load, along with other cool stuff you didn't even
know you needed to know.

Why is my Django template not displaying?

[Dave N]

Assuming my model contains data, I have myapp/views.py:

from django.template import RequestContextfrom django.shortcuts import 
renderfrom .models import Historyimport datetime
def live_view(request):
context = RequestContext(request)
plays_list = History.objects.filter(date=datetime.date(2016,04,22))
context_list = {'plays':plays_list}
return render(request,'live.html',context_list)

myapp/templates/live.html:

{% extends 'base.html' %}{% block content %}{% for key, value in 
context_list.items %}
{{ value }}{% endfor %}{% endblock %}

myapp/urls.py:

from myapp.views import live_view
urlpatterns = [url(r'^live/$', live_view, name="live"),]


The output is a page that renders only the base.html template, with no content 
in the body. What's wrong with my view function or template rendering? Should I 
be inheriting from TemplateView?
