How to get django models field value from model object in template tags

Question

Models.py:

class Discussion(models.Model):
    version = models.TextField(blank=True)
    team = models.TextField(blank=True)
    project = models.TextField(blank=True)
    notes = models.TextField(db_column='Notes', blank=True) # Field name made lowercase.
    s = models.TextField(blank=True)
    send_mail_to = models.TextField(blank=True)
    send_mail_cc = models.TextField(blank=True)
    date = models.DateTimeField(null=True, blank=True)

    class Meta:
        db_table = u'discussion'

views.py:

 p=Discussion.objects.filter(version=m2)
 return render_to_response('report/t2',{"p":p})

Template(html):

 <tr>
      <td width="20%" class="scratchblackfont12">Release Name :</td>
      <td><div style="overflow:auto"><input name="Release Name (if any ):" autocomplete="on" type="text" class="scratchsearchfield" elname="defaultFocus" id="r1" value="{{p.version}}"  READONLY multiline="true" ></div>
      </td>
    </tr>

But the template displays Nothing.Please help me to solve this problem.I want to get the model field value from model object in template.

Answer 1

That's because the p that you're sending to your view is a QuerySet, not an object instance. Try the following:

{% for p_object in p %}
<tr>
    <td width="20%" class="scratchblackfont12">Release Name :</td>
    <td><div style="overflow:auto"><input name="Release Name (if any ):" autocomplete="on" type="text" class="scratchsearchfield" elname="defaultFocus" id="r1" value="{{p_object.version}}"  READONLY multiline="true" ></div>
    </td>
</tr>
{% endfor %}

If you'd like to send a specific p object instance you'd have to do the following in your view:

p = Discussion.objects.get(version=m2)

but note that get will throw an error if the query returns more than a single object with version=m2.
