django | model.objects.filter(user = request.user) not returning any data-CodePudding

I've been trying to render out user specific content, but when I use the line 'Job.objects.filter(user = request.user)' I don't get anything rendered in the form. I don't think that the problem is the template because when I use the line Job.objects.all() all instances are rendered out with no problem. What I'm trying to do is render out the instances that are 'posted' by a user.

views.py

@login_required(login_url='login')
def manage_jobs(request):
    if request.user.is_employee:
        return redirect('home')
    else:
        form = JobForm(request.POST)
        jobs = Job.objects.filter(user=request.user)
        if form.is_valid():
            form.save()
        context = {"form":form, "jobs":jobs}
        return render(request, 'employer/manage-jobs.html', context)

    last_login = models.DateTimeField(verbose_name='last login', auto_now=True)

CodePudding user response：

When you use .filter() it returns a list, even if there is only 1 item in the list, so your options are to:

jobs = Job.objects.filter(user=request.user)[0]

or even better, use get()

jobs = Job.objects.get(user=request.user)

CodePudding user response：

put this view and try:

@login_required(login_url='login')
def manage_jobs(request):
    if request.user.is_employee:
        return redirect('home')
    else:
        form = JobForm(request.POST)
        jobs = Job.objects.filter(user_id=request.user.id)
        if form.is_valid():
            form.save()
        context = {"form":form, "jobs":jobs}
        return render(request, 'employer/manage-jobs.html', context)
