I'm sure this will be very easy for most of you...
I am trying to display a list.
in views.py, I have:
from mysite.books.models import Book
from django.http import HttpResponse
def book_list(request):
book = Book.objects.all().order_by('title')
return render_to_response('books/book_list.html', {'book': book})
in models.py, I have:
class Book(models.Model):
title = models.CharField(maxlength=100)
authors = models.ManyToManyField(Author)
publisher = models.ForeignKey(Publisher)
publication_date = models.DateField()
num_pages = models.IntegerField(blank=True, null=True)
def __str__(self):
return self.title
In my HTML is:
<p>
{% if "book_list" %}
<p>There are books</p>
{% endif %}
</p>
<p>
The title of your books: {{ book }}
</p>
Now the thing is, when it renders in the browser, I get something that
looks like this:
There are books
The title of your books: [, ]
If I view source, I get this:
<p>There are books</p>
<p>The title of your books: [<Book: Book 1>, <Book: Book 2>]</p>
So clearly the data is there - I just can't see it. Can anyone help
shed light on this, please? I have been at it all day and I am am
about to crack! ;-)
(Incidentally, this relates to some code at the start of Chapter 5,
djangobook)
Thanks,
Ed
