putz around with, at least I have output!

The reason for that output is that page is a list, not a single object.
If you want a specific page, use Page.objects.get instead of
Page.objects.filter.

that at least gave me an output, but the output is: []
I have a potential to need 3 attributes from each object in each
template, so the mapping may not be what I need. If I pass in a
context object, I thought that I should have handles for
object.attribute ? Or maybe I need to map the dict befor
Try it with {'page': page} as your extra_context. The keys in a context
dict should always be strings.

I thank you for your help and apologize for my naivete, however I
still am not seeing that tag populate in the template. Here is my view
function in its entirety:
def test(request, testn):
try:
testn = str(testn)
page = Page.objects.filter(name = "test%s" % testn)

The direct_to_template() function can take an extra_context keyword
argument (a dict). So:
direct_to_template(request, template='blah.html', extra_context={'foo':
bar})
Would let you use {{ foo }} in a template to output the value of the
variable bar.
By the way, as a replacement for direct_to_t
That is exactly what I want to do, I can't seem to understand exactly
how to implement that and have it populate in the template. Do I just
define the variable in the views and then in the template use
{{ variable_name }} where I need it? Because I tried that first and it
didn't work. So, maybe I'm
I may be misunderstanding your question, but it sounds like you need to
use Page.objects.get or Page.objects.filter (in your view function) to
look up the particular objects that you want to send to the template.

This may seem like a very simple question and I have just missed the
answer in the piles of documentation and tutorials that I've read over
the past two days. I'm new to Django and trying to implement an
internal site at work, and I'm the only Python/Django person we have,
so this is all on me.
