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" "/home/user/Desktop/django/djangoFutureFleet/mysite/futureFleet/static/futureFleet/images/1.JPG" "this is the first comic" "Space Vaccine" "2018-01-15 23:02:22" "/home/user/Desktop/django/djangoFutureFleet/mysite/futureFleet/static/futureFleet/images/2.JPG" "This is comic 2" -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.
