I am trying to create some tables for my application using django-tables2 and running into some difficulties. I am using Python 2.7, and Django 1.7. I am following the tutorial,
Well I think your problem isn't with the version of django-tables2. Here I think when you are passing a variable from view to template, you are passing a string instead of a queryset/table class object. For working example:
Table class:
class SomeTable(tables.Table):
class Meta:
model= SomeModel
attrs = {"class": "paleblue"}
View Class:
class SomeTableView(SingleTableView):
model = SomeModel
template_name = 'test.html'
table_class = SomeTable
Template:
{% load render_table from django_tables2 %}
{% render_table table %}
Or you can directly send a queryset to render the table like:
class SomeView(TemplateView):
def get(self, request, *args, **kwargs):
data = SomeModel.objects.all()
context = self.get_context_data(**kwargs)
context['table'] = data
return self.render_to_response(context)
and render it like this:
{% load render_table from django_tables2 %}
{% render_table table %}
