Hi,

Im a new user going through this tutorial at OverIQ : https://overiq.com/django/1.10/loading-templates-in-django

I've followed the instructions to the letter but it keep throwing the Typeerror you see in the subject.

Here is a copy paist of my views :

from django.shortcuts import render

from django.http import HttpResponse

from django import template

import datetime

def index(request):

return HttpResponse("Hello Django")

def today_is(request):

now = datetime.datetime.now()

t = template.loader.get_template('blog/datetime.html')

c = template.Context({'now': now})

html = t.render(c)

return HttpResponse(html)

and here is a copy paist of my template:

<!DOCTYPE html>

<head>

<title>Current Time</title>

</head>

<body>

{#This is a comment #}

{check the existence of now variable in the template using if tag #}

{% if now %}

<p>Current date and time is {{ now }}</p>

{% else %}

<p>now variable is not available</p>

{% endif %}

</body>

</html>

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Allon

Hi Al,

I believe that an error you mentioned is thrown from line:

html = t.render(c)

As said in the error: context must be a dict

So just change

c = template.Context({'now': now})

to be

c = {'now': now}

For more information please check that documentation page

I hope that makes sense.

Regards,

Constantine C.
