Hey i have looked around through some simliar posts here on SO but havent found anything that has solved my problem. I have the following models,
from django
In general, it is better practice to use a values or values_list to pass data from a queryset to a template.
world_areas = Areas.objects.select_related().all().values_list('name', 'order_in_sidebar_network', ...)
Check out the Django docs for info on how to use the values function if you haven't used it before.
