I've been through so many different things and I just can't work it out; need a fresh set of eyes haha

My view does not render and this seems to be the case across my apps and landing page - the sidebar and header loads fine, footer looks to partially load but I believe this is due to the fact the main content does not load.

CodePudding user response：

it seems that you're using the get() method to add the context to your views in your case content.

change your view to use get_context_data() Django documentation.

example views.py

# Recipe View
class RecipesView(LoginRequiredMixin, TemplateView):
    template_name = 'nf_recipes/recipes-database.html'

    def get_context_data(self, **kwargs):
        context = super(RecipesView, self).get_context_data(**kwargs)

        context.update({
            'heading': "Recipes Database",
            'pageview': "Recipes & Formulations"
        })

        return context
        

You might also want to check that your base.html file has the {% block contents%} tag in it

CodePudding user response：

My issue was in my base.html file - it appeared that my divider for layout-wrapper was not closed with </div>.

Anyone with similar issues, review your primary templates for your HTML and check to see if all dividers have been closed correctly.
