Discussion on: #solved Data not showing on Django Template

View post

Your view is not sending any sensible data. It's sending the view function itself.

Try this:

def home(request):
    volunteer = Volunteer.objects.all()
    return render(request, 'aml/home.html', { 'volunteer': volunteer })

I think that should display the data correctly. At that point, we can refactor a bit to make the code easier to read. Now you're using volunteer (in your template) as a variable name but in view, it contains all volunteers.

So maybe renaming the volunteer into volunteers and then in your template code:

  {% for volunteer_name in volunteer %}

into

  {% for volunteer in volunteers %}

and then replacing all volunteer_name with volunteer since you're passing in the entire model object, not just their name.

Let me know if the first bit works!

After the refactoring, it would look like this

Template:

<div class="row">
    {% for volunteer in volunteers %}
        <div class="col-md-4 col-sm-6">
            <div class="team-wrapper">
                <div class="team-img">
                    <img src="{{ volunteer.img.url }}" class="img-responsive" alt="Image">
                </div>
                <div class="team-title">
                    <h3>
                        <a href="#">{{ volunteer.name }}</a>
                    </h3>
                </div>
            </div>
        {% endfor %}
    </div>
</div>

View:

def home(request):
    volunteers = Volunteer.objects.all()
    return render(request, "aml/home.html", { 'volunteers': volunteers })

(the model looks good as is)
