I am new to django before this only made 1 project and that was just a follow along video so obviously the fix is probably very easy, but I am trying to make a restaurant reservation page, and later on there will be user authentication to only show the reservation that particular user made, but right now I want to display all of the reservations in my modal and trying to learn how to actually display the data.

here's the modal: https://gyazo.com/066e3e060492990008d608a012f588f3

here's the view: https://gyazo.com/6947ed97d84b38f1e73680e28f3a0a9a

Here's the template: https://gyazo.com/966c4810b3c7f4dd8dad2e5b71c2179c

I am spent about 3 hours watching other videos on people loading there modal data in there website and when they do it I understand everything but for some reason I can't apply that to my own project, my guess is my for loop is wrong since I have a hard time with writing them and seem to always mess up, so any help so I can at least start looking in the right direction would be appreciated

CodePudding user response：

When using class based views you'll have to work with django conventions. For example where you have reservations = Reservation.objects.all(), reservations is not a defined class attribute for the class based view. What you can do is rename it to queryset instead.

from django.views.generic import ListView

class ReservationList(ListView):
     model = Reservation
     queryset = Reservation.objects.all()
     context_object_name = 'reservations'  # using this attribute to alias the queryset
     template_name = "make_a_reservation.html"

This way you can now use the name reservations in your template as you did with:

{% for i in reservations %}
     ...
{% endfor %}

That should work.
