django for loop in a .html template page (newbie)

Question

The thing I really hate when learning a new language / framework is how ignorant I feel when I get stuck on a seemingly easy to solve issue.

I have a django for loop

Answer 1

You forgot to pass the variable.

return render_to_response(get_template, {'ri_achievement': ri_achievement})

Answer 2

from django.shortcuts import render
from GlobalXpy.app_data.models import RIAchievement

def index(request):
  ri_achievement = RIAchievement.objects.all()
  return render(request, 'ri_achievement.html',{'ri_achievement': ri_achievement})

In your template:

{% if ri_achievement %}
   There are {{ ri_achievement|length }} records:
   {% for e in ri_achievement %}
      <td> Preview  Edit  Duplicate  Delete </td>
      <td> FlagPath </td>
      <td> AchievementType / RIAchievementTypeUserDescription </td>
      <td> {{ e.riAchievementDescription }} </td>
   {% endfor %}
{% else %}
   There are no records in the system
{% endif %}
