I am not sure my first reply worked, but here it goes again.
Your template is using {{ post.NAME }} when I believe it should be using {{
customer.NAME }}. The context name that is used in the template is
obtained by default from the model and in your case, you are using model=
Customer. If you want to rename so that you can use {{ post.Name }}, you
will have to use 'context_object_name = post'. But I suggest you edit your
template.
url(r'^(?P<pk>\d+)$', DetailView.as_view(
model = Customer,
template_name="customer.html",
context_object_name='post')),# Do this only if you want
to use {{ post.NAME }}
get_context_object_name(*obj*)<https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.6/ref/class-based-views/mixins-single-object/#django.views.generic.detail.SingleObjectMixin.get_context_object_name>
Return the context variable name that will be used to contain the data that
this view is manipulating. If
context_object_name<https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.6/ref/class-based-views/mixins-single-object/#django.views.generic.detail.SingleObjectMixin.context_object_name>is
not set, the context name will be constructed from themodel_name of the
model that the queryset is composed from. For example, the model Article would
have context object named 'article'.
Ref:
https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.6/ref/class-based-views/mixins-single-object/#django.views.generic.detail.SingleObjectMixin.get_context_object_name
hope that works.
