Tutorial part 3 help: bulleted-list

[Johnny McClung]

I have gotten down to the part where the tutorial reads "Load the page by pointing your browser at “/polls/”, and you should see a bulleted-list containing the “What’s up” question from Tutorial 2. The link points to the question’s detail page."

I do not see a bulleted-list. All I see is "No polls are available."

This makes me think that I have an error in the if statement in the template index.html. However, I can not find the error or why it is not showing me the list. Any help would be appreciated. 

mysite>>polls>>templates>>polls>>index.html

{% if latest_question_list %}

<ul>

{% for quesion in latest_question_list %}

<li><a href="/polls/{{ question.id }}/">{{ question.question_text }}</a></li>

{% endfor %}

</ul>

{% else %}

<p>No polls are available.</p>

{% endif %}

    template = loader.get_template('polls/index.html')

    context = {'latest_quesion_list': latest_question_list,}

    return HttpResponse(template.render(context, request))

def detail(request, question_id):

    return HttpResponse("You're looking at question %s." % question_id)

def results(request, question_id):

    response = "You're looking at the results of question %s."

    return HttpResonse(response % question_id)

def vote(request, question_id):

    return HttpResponse("You're voting on question %s." % question_id)

You wrote "latest_quesion_list" in the context dictionary key, it should be "latest_question_list"

The {% if %} statement is fine. 

 

mysite>>polls>>templates>>polls>>index.html

{% if latest_question_list %}

<ul>

{% for quesion in latest_question_list %}

You do have a typo in your {% for %} loop, however.

 

def index(request):

    latest_question_list = Question.objects.order_by('-pub_date')[:5]

    template = loader.get_template('polls/index.html')

    context = {'latest_quesion_list': latest_question_list,}

    return HttpResponse(template.render(context, request))

This is where your issue is. Your template context dictionary also has the same typo as  your  {% for %} loop, so the {% if %} statement is returning False because the variable it is checking (which is spelled correctly) doesn't exist.

Thanks so much everyone. I looked over those files many times and I couldn't see it.

Hi, 

I am having the same problem that it does not display bulleted list, but I do not have a typo. Below is what I have got. 

mysite>>polls>>view.py

from django.http import HttpResponse

from django.template import loader

from .models import Question

def index(request):

latest_question_list = Question.objects.order_by('-pub_date')[:5]

template = loader.get_template('polls/index.html')

context = {

'latest_question_list': latest_question_list,

    }

output = ', '.join([q.question_text for q in latest_question_list])

return HttpResponse(output) 

 

mysite>>polls>>templates>>polls>>index.html

{% if latest_question_list %}

    <ul>

    {% for question in latest_question_list %}

        <li><a href="/polls/{{ question.id }}/">{{ question.question_text }}</a></li>

    {% endfor %}

    </ul>

{% else %}

    <p>No polls are available.</p>

{% endif %}

Can anyone help please? Thank you in advance

two problems: you're just returning a string in your response, not the template.

Nor are you using the context dict anywhere.

Look at the example in the tutorial:  https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/2.0/intro/tutorial03/#a-shortcut-render  How does your index method differ from what's there?

Thank you so much. I have corrected the return including the context dict now. Thank you. It has solved it. Thank you again.

Hi all, 

I was doing ok until https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.11/intro/tutorial03/#namespacing-url-names part. Not sure what happened. 

The error is NoReverseMatch at /poll

"Reverse for 'detail' not found. 'detail' is not a valid view function or pattern name."

"Error during template rendering...

In template C:\Users\Balan\Documents\GitHub\my_django_code\mysite\polls\templates\polls\index.html, error at line 4

Reverse for 'detail' not found. 'detail' is not a valid view function or pattern name.

1 {% if latest_question_list %}

2     <ul>

3     {% for question in latest_question_list %}

4 <li><a href="{% url 'detail' question.id %}">{{ question.question_text }}</a></li>

5 {% endfor %}

6     </ul>

7 {% else %}

8     <p>No polls are available.</p>

9 {% endif %}

10

This is what I have got on "detail.html".

{% if latest_question_list %}

    <ul>

    {% for question in latest_question_list %}

<li><a href="{% url 'polls:detail' question.id %}">{{ question.question_text }}</a></li>

{% endfor %}

    </ul>

{% else %}

    <p>No polls are available.</p>

{% endif %}

Can you help please? Thank you.
