I am getting the following error when trying to loop over a variable in my Django templates. The variable in question is the related object of the model specified in my DetailView subclass:
TypeError at /en/applicants/50771459778/
'Householdmember' object is not iterable
Here is my models.py
file:
class Applicant(models.Model):
user = models.ForeignKey(User, editable=False)
bank_card_number = models.CharField(_('Bank card number'),max_length=50, unique=True)
site_of_interview = models.IntegerField(_('Site of interview'), choices = SITE_CHOICES, default=TIRANA, blank=False)
housenumber = models.CharField(_('House Number'),max_length=8)
address_line1 = models.CharField(_('Address line 1'),max_length=50)
address_line2 = models.CharField(_('Apt #'),max_length=50,blank=True)
municipality = models.CharField(_('Municipality/commune'),max_length=25)
district = models.CharField(_('District'),max_length=25,blank=True)
urban = models.IntegerField(_('Area (urban/rural)'), choices = AREA_CHOICES, blank=False)
postal = models.CharField(_('Postal code'),max_length=25,blank=True)
class Householdmember(models.Model):
applicant = models.ForeignKey(Applicant)
first_name = models.CharField(_('First name'),max_length=50,blank=False)
middle_name = models.CharField(_('Middle name'),max_length=50,blank=True)
last_name = models.CharField(_('Last name'),max_length=50,blank=False)
national_id = models.CharField(_('National ID'),max_length=50,blank=False, unique=True)
male = models.IntegerField(_('Gender'), choices = GENDER_CHOICES, blank=False)
date_of_birth = models.DateField()
rel_to_head = models.IntegerField(_('Gender'), choices = RELTOHEAD_CHOICES, blank=False)
disability = models.IntegerField(_('Is disabled?'), choices = YESNO_CHOICES, blank=False)
created_at = models.DateTimeField(auto_now_add = True)
updated_at = models.DateTimeField(auto_now = True)
Here is my urls.py
file:
class ListViewApplicants(ListView):
paginate_by = 100
def get_queryset(self):
return Applicant.objects.all()
class DetailViewUnmask(DetailView):
def get_object(self):
return self.get_queryset().get(pk=mask_toggle(self.kwargs.get("pk_masked")))
urlpatterns = patterns('',
url(r'^$',
login_required(ListViewApplicants.as_view(
template_name='applicants/index.html',
#context_object_name='form',
)),
name='index'),
url(r'^(?P<pk_masked>\d+)/$',
login_required(DetailViewUnmask.as_view( model=Applicant,
template_name='applicants/detail.html'
)),
name='detail'),
Here is the relevant part of my template, detail.html
:
<h2>Household members</h2>
<table class="package_detail">
<tr>
{% include "applicants/householdmember_heading_snippet.html" %}
</tr>
{% for householdmember in applicant.householdmember_set.all %}
<tr>
{% for field in householdmember %}
<td>{{ field }}</td>
{% endfor %}
<!--
<td>{{ householdmember.first_name }}</td>
<td>{{ householdmember.middle_name }}</td>
<td>{{ householdmember.last_name }}</td>
<td>{{ householdmember.national_id }}</td>
<td>{{ householdmember.get_male_display }}</td>
<td>{{ householdmember.date_of_birth }}</td>
<td>{{ householdmember.get_rel_to_head_display }}</td>
<td>{{ householdmember.get_disability_display }}</td>
-->
</tr>
{% endfor %}
</table>
The part that is commented out (i.e. the part in between the <!-- -->
tags) works, which leads me to think that I should be able to iterate over the householdmember
variable. But when I try to do so, it doesn't work - I just get the TypeError above.
I have searched stackoverflow.com exentsively for an answer, but the closest answer I could find is this one: django how to loop through the context object passed back by a generic detailview?, but it does not solve my problem, I think because I'm using class based views.
Would greatly appreciate any help. Thanks!
You can't iter over a model instance. I recommend you use your commented code.
If you still want to use a forloop, maybe you can add this code:
class Householdmember(models.Model):
# all yuur fields...
def __iter__(self):
return return [field.value_to_string(self) for field in Householdmember._meta.fields]
But, no one recommend that
That's better:
class Householdmember(models.Model):
# all yuur fields...
def __iter__(self):
return [ self.first_name,
self.middle_name,
self.last_name,
self.national_id,
self.get_male_display,
self.date_of_birth,
self.get_rel_to_head_display,
self.get_disability_display ]
