Output is not rendered on Django template for the same model whose output is rendered on another template

I am really new to Django and I am building a website while learning it. As per requirements, I have to show some news articles on both the home page and on another page that I navigate from the navbar. I have shown the articles list and individual details with the loop in my template files. Problem is, although I have written the for loop for rendering the news article on the home page, nothing is showing up. Following are my models.py, views.py, app/urls.py, and project/urls.py files :
#models.py
from django.contrib.auth.models import User
from django.db import models
from django.urls import reverse
from django.utils import timezone
from django.utils.translation import gettext_lazy as _
from taggit.managers import TaggableManager
from ckeditor.fields import RichTextField
class Post(models.Model):
STATUS_CHOICES = (
('draft', 'Draft'),
('published', 'Published'),
)
title = models.CharField(max_length=250)
# slug = models.SlugField(max_length=250, unique_for_date='publish')
slug = models.CharField(_("Slug"), max_length=200)
author = models.ForeignKey(User, on_delete=models.CASCADE, related_name='blog_posts')
body = RichTextField()
# image_header = models.ImageField(unique=True, default=timezone.now)
publish = models.DateTimeField(default=timezone.now)
# created = models.DateTimeField(auto_now_add=True)
# updated = models.DateTimeField(auto_now=True)
status = models.CharField(max_length=10, choices=STATUS_CHOICES, default='draft')
class Meta:
ordering = ('-publish',)
def __str__(self):
return self.title
def get_absolute_url(self):
return reverse('blog:details', args=[self.slug])
class News(models.Model):
STATUS_CHOICES = (
('draft', 'Draft'),
('published', 'Published'),
)
news_title = models.CharField(max_length=250) unique_for_date='nw_publish', unique=True, null=True)
slug = models.SlugField(max_length=300, unique_for_date='nw_publish')
news_author = models.ForeignKey(User, on_delete=models.CASCADE, related_name='news_posts')
news_body = RichTextField()
image_header = models.ImageField(upload_to='featured_image/%Y/%m/%d/', null=True, blank=True)
nw_publish = models.DateTimeField(default=timezone.now)
nw_status = models.CharField(max_length=10, choices=STATUS_CHOICES, default='draft')
news_tags = TaggableManager()
class Meta:
ordering = ('nw_publish',)
def __str__(self):
return self.news_title
def get_absolute_url(self):
return reverse('news:news_detail', args=[self.slug])
#views.py
from django.views import generic
from django.views.generic import ListView, DetailView
from django.http import Http404
from .models import Post, Report, News, Member, Project
class Home(ListView):
model = Post
context_object_name = 'home'
template_name = 'blog/home.html'
class HomeDetail(generic.DetailView):
model = Post
context_object_name = 'details'
template_name = 'blog/details.html'
class NewsListView(ListView):
model = News
context_object_name = 'newss'
template_name = 'blog/news.html'
class NewsDetailView(DetailView):
model = News
context_object_name = 'news'
template_name = 'blog/news_detail.html'
#app/urls.py
from django.urls import path, re_path
from . import views
from .views import Home, HomeDetail, Contact, ReportListView, ReportDetailView, NewsListView, NewsDetailView
app_name = 'blog'
urlpatterns = [
# post views
path('', Home.as_view(), name='home'),
path('home/<slug:slug>/', HomeDetail.as_view(), name='details'),
path('news/', NewsListView.as_view(), name='news_list'),
path('news/<slug:slug>/', NewsDetailView.as_view(), name='news_detail'),
path('contact/', Contact.as_view(), name='contact'),
]
#project/urls.py
from django.conf import settings
from django.conf.urls.static import static
from django.contrib import admin
from django.urls import path, include
urlpatterns = [
path('admin/', admin.site.urls),
path('', include('blog.urls', namespace='blog')),
path('ckeditor/', include('ckeditor_uploader.urls')),
path('members/', include('blog.urls', namespace='members')),
path('news/', include('blog.urls', namespace='news')),
path('contact/', include('blog.urls', namespace='contact')),
] + static(settings.MEDIA_URL, document_root=settings.MEDIA_ROOT)
Now my template file for new list has the following block of codes and the objects are rendered :
<div class="row">
{% for news in newss %}
<div class="col-lg-4 wow fadeInUp" data-wow-delay="100ms">
<!--News Two Single-->
<div class="news-two__single">
<div class="news-two__img-box">
<div class="news-two__img">
{% if news.image_header %}
<img src={{ news.image_header.url }} alt="{{ news.news_title }}">
{% endif %}
<a href={{ news.get_absolute_url }}>
<i class="fa fa-plus"></i>
</a>
</div>
<div class="news-two__date">
<p>{{ news.nw_publish |date:"M d, Y" }}</p>
</div>
</div>
<div class="news-two__content">
<ul class="list-unstyled news-two__meta">
<li><i class="far fa-user-circle"></i> {{ news.news_author }}</li>
</ul>
<h3>
<a href={{ news.get_absolute_url }}>{{ news.news_title }}</a>
</h3>
<p class="news-two__text">{{ news.news_body | truncatechars:110 | safe }}</p>
</div>
</div>
</div>
{% endfor %}
</div>
On my home page, I need to achieve something like the following:
news page
I added the following code to render the object, but it's blank:
<div class="row">
<div class="col-xl-6 col-lg-6">
{% for news in newss %}
<div class="news-one__left">
<div class="news-one__img">
<img src={% static "assets/images/blog/news-one-img-1.jpg" %} alt="">
<a href="{{news.get_absolute_url}}">
<i class="fa fa-plus"></i>
</a>
</div>
<div class="news-one__bottom">
<ul class="list-unstyled news-one__meta">
<li>20 Jan, 2021</li>
<li><span>/</span></li>
</ul>
<h3 class="news-one__title">
{{ news.news_title }}
</h3>
</div>
</div>
{% endfor %}
</div>
</div>
The output looks like this:
homepage
My Django version is 3.27.2 and my python version is 3.6.8.
Sorry for such a silly question. I am trying to achieve:
All the news articles both on the home page and news page as a list
Show the first news in the left box and the rest of the 3 or 4 news in the right side box
But the output of the loop is not visible as per the attached image. Please point me to what I am doing wrong here. I am stuck for a while. Thanks in advance.

Why my URL doesn't activate view in django?

Here is the thing i'm trying to do:
There are few tv channels as image links and they will have some information inside channels.
I managed to create tv channels as a list, they look like a link but they don't work like link.
I've created slug area for each channel that takes from it's own name and generates slug auto. And with get_absolute_url i take it's url in the below code you'll see;
This is my model :
class Channels(models.Model):
name = models.CharField(max_length=50, null=False, blank=False, verbose_name="Tv Kanalı")
logo = models.ImageField(upload_to="channels/images/", verbose_name="Tv Logosu", blank=False)
slug = models.SlugField(null=True, unique=True, editable=True)
def save(self, *args, **kwargs):
self.slug = slugify(self.name)
super(Channels, self).save(*args, **kwargs)
def get_absolute_url(self):
return reverse('channel-list:campaigns', kwargs={'page_slug': self.slug})
This is my main urls:
urlpatterns = [
path('admin/', admin.site.urls),
url(r'', include(('tvekstra.apps.core.urls', 'home'), namespace='home')),
url(r'^user/', include(('tvekstra.apps.user.urls', 'login'), namespace='user')),
url(r'^channels/', include(('tvekstra.apps.tvchannels.urls', 'main'), namespace="channel-list")),
This is channels urls:
urlpatterns = [
url(r'', views.channel_list, name='channels'),
url(r'^(?P<page_slug>[-\w]+)/$', views.campaign_list, name='campaigns'),
]
This is my views:
def channel_list(request):
channels = Channels.objects.all()
return render(request, 'channel.list.html', {'channels': channels})
def campaign_list(request, page_slug):
channel = get_object_or_404(Channels, slug=page_slug)
return render(request, 'campaign.list.html', {'channel': channel})
And this is my template:
{% for channel in channels %}
<div class="col-3 text-center channels">
<a href="{{ channel.get_absolute_url }}">
<img src="{{ channel.get_image }}" alt="Channel Image" class="ch-img">
{{ channel.name }}
</a>
</div>
{% endfor %}
As you can see, a href is channel's getabsoluteurl method. It creates the html but it doesn't go forward page.
I think view is not working for some reason, requesting aid...

url(r'', matches '', but it also matches /channels/fox/ and /something-else/.
You can fix it by adding ^$ to the regex.
url(r'^$', views.channel_list, name='channels'),
In Django 2.0+, it would be better to use re_path, because url is deprecated in Django 3.1:
re_path(r'^$', views.channel_list, name='channels'),
And it would be simpler to use path:
path('', views.channel_list, name='channels'),

Including an Item Context to a Post Model to activate if statement in Django

I am trying to add an Item to a list view, the UserPost list view has already a Post context.
In my project, a user can add a post and add an item each is a different app with different models.
So In my UserPost list view, I have my Posts looped related to a specific user related to it.
What I am trying to do is check if this post.user has an item filtered by the same user and if it does exist a button show appears in the page linking to another page with this list of items related to this user.
To be more descriptive I want to check for Item for the designer__post and link to this page which is {% url 'core:designer-posts' item.designer %}
I hope this clears my question if there are any more clarifications required or code please let me know to add it.
I tried to use make use of an Exists subquery [Django-doc] but I didn't succeed it perfecting it
Here is the models.py
class Post(models.Model):
designer = models.ForeignKey(User, on_delete=models.CASCADE)
title = models.CharField(max_length=100)
Here is the views.py
class UserPostListView(ListView):
model = Post
template_name = "user_posts.html"
context_object_name = 'posts'
queryset = Post.objects.filter(admin_approved=True)
paginate_by = 6
def get_queryset(self):
user = get_object_or_404(User, username=self.kwargs.get('username'))
return Post.objects.filter(designer=user, admin_approved=True).order_by('-date_posted')
Here is the template user_posts.html
{% if item %}
<a class="primary btn-lg" href="{% url 'core:designer-posts' item.designer %}" role="button">Go to items</a>
{% else %}
<a href="{% url 'core:designer-posts' item.designer %}">
<button type="button" class="btn btn-primary btn-lg btn-block">Go to items</button>
</a>
{% endif %}
here is the item models.py
class Item(models.Model):
designer = models.ForeignKey(
User, on_delete=models.CASCADE)
title = models.CharField(max_length=100)
here is the designerlist views.py that I am trying to link to from the user post view if it is available
class DesignerPostListView(ListView):
model = Item
template_name = "designer_posts.html"
context_object_name = 'items'
paginate_by = 6
def get_queryset(self):
user = get_object_or_404(User, username=self.kwargs.get('username'))
return Item.objects.filter(designer=user).order_by('-timestamp')
Here are the views related to the post model
app_name = 'score'
urlpatterns = [
path('', PostListView.as_view(), name='score'),
path('user/<str:username>', UserPostListView.as_view(), name='user-posts'),
]
Here are the views related to the item model
app_name = 'core'
urlpatterns = [
path('', HomeView.as_view(), name='home'),
path('user/<str:username>', DesignerPostListView.as_view(),
name='designer-posts'),
]
Projects URLs
urlpatterns = [
path('admin/', admin.site.urls),
path('accounts/', include('allauth.urls')),
path('', include('core.urls', namespace='core')),
path('score/', include('score.urls', namespace='score')),
path('register/', user_views.register, name='register'),
]

First, you need to pass one context variable by overriding the get_context_data(...) method, that decides whether the user has Items or not
class UserPostListView(ListView):
# rest of your code
def get_context_data(self, *args, **kwargs):
context = super().get_context_data(*args, **kwargs)
has_items = Item.objects.filter(designer__username=self.kwargs['username']).exists()
context['has_items'] = has_items
return context
Then in your template, use this has_items variable by,
{% if has_items %}
<a class="primary btn-lg" href="{% url 'core:designer-posts' username=view.kwargs.username %}" role="button">Go to items</a>
{% endif %}
Also, you were not passing the username to the url tag, it should be
{% url 'core:designer-posts' username=view.kwargs.username %}
here, I used view.kwargs.username to get the username from the URL
References
ListView.get_context_data(...)
url tag with kwargs

in {% url %} item.designer passes a user object you have to provide id for that like this
<a href="{% url 'core:designer-posts' item.designer.id %}">

How to display image from model in Django

To be clear, I have tried researching this on my own but since I'm still very new to Django I am unable to understand the solutions here. I also have read the documentation and I don't understand what I'm doing wrong. I cannot get the images located in the "ad_pictures" directory to display in the HTML.
Here's my code:
settings.py
STATIC_URL = '/static/'
MEDIA_ROOT = os.path.join(BASE_DIR, 'media')
MEDIA_URL = '/media/'
urls.py (project)
from django.conf.urls import url, include
from django.contrib import admin
from django.conf import settings
from django.conf.urls.static import static
urlpatterns = [
url(r'^admin/', admin.site.urls),
url(r'^accounts/', include('accounts.urls')),
url(r'^classifieds/', include('classifieds.urls')),
] +static(settings.MEDIA_URL, document_ROOT=settings.MEDIA_ROOT)
urls.py (classifieds app)
from django.conf.urls import url
from . import views
app_name = 'classifieds'
urlpatterns = [
url(r'^create/', views.create, name='create'),
url(r'^latestads/', views.latestads, name='latestads'),
]
models.py
class Post(models.Model):
title = models.CharField(max_length=150)
price = models.CharField(max_length=100)
body = models.TextField()
pub_date = models.DateTimeField(null=True)
author = models.ForeignKey(User, null=True)
category = models.CharField(max_length=150, null=True)
picture = models.ImageField(upload_to='ad_pictures', default='')
latestads.html
{% for post in posts.all %}
<div class="advertisements">
<div class="a-title">
<h3>{{ post.title }}</h3>
</div>
<div class="a-image">
<img src="{{ post.picture.url }}">
</div>
<div class="a-content">
<p>{{ post.body }}</p>
</div>
<div class="a-date">
<p>{{ post.pub_date }} by {{ post.author }}</p>
</div>
</div>
<img src="{{ post.image.url }}">
{% endfor %}
Picture of directory structure:
here
Html output:
here
I'm sure part of the problem is the "post.picture.url" in the HTML.
Any insight is greatly appreciated.
Thanks

urlpatterns = [
url(r'^admin/', admin.site.urls),
url(r'^accounts/', include('accounts.urls')),
url(r'^classifieds/', include('classifieds.urls')),
] +static(settings.MEDIA_URL, document_root=settings.MEDIA_ROOT)
please change document_ROOT to document_root

Reverse for 'details' with keyword arguments '{'pk': ''}' not found. 1 pattern(s) tried: ['entry\\/(?P<pk>[0-9]+)$']

I have this error:
Reverse for 'details' with keyword arguments '{'pk': ''}' not found. 1 pattern(s) tried: ['entry\/(?P[0-9]+)$']
On line number 7:
From _calender_entry.html
<div class="calender_entry col-lg-4">
<h2> {{ entry.name }} </h2>
<h4> {{ entry.date }} </h4>
<p>
{{ entry.description }}
</p>
<button onclick="window.location='{% url 'details' pk=entry.id %}'" class="btn btn-primary"> View Details </button>
</div>
This is from my urls.py file:
urlpatterns = [
path('', views.index, name='index'),
path('entry/<int:pk>', views.details, name='details'),
path('admin/', admin.site.urls),
]
And here is method from views.py :
def index(request):
entries = Entry.objects.all()
return render(request, 'myapp/index.html', {'entries' : entries})
def details(request, pk):
entry = Entry.objects.get(id=pk)
return render(request, 'myapp/details.html', {'entry' : entry})
Here is models.py
class Entry(models.Model):
name = models.CharField(max_length=100)
date = models.DateTimeField()
description = models.TextField()
created = models.DateTimeField( auto_now_add = True )
def __str__(self):
return f'{self.name} {self.date}'
The _calender_entry.html is included in index.html file as follows:
{% block content %}
<div class="container">
<div class="row">
{% for entry in entries %}
{% include 'myapp/_calender_entry.html' %}
{% endfor %}
</div>
</div>
Could anyone be able to tell me how could I fix this problem?

now django forces you that each app has its own urls.py.
Create the urls.py file in the myapp/ directory
# myapp/urls.py
from django.urls import path
from myapp import views
urlpatterns = [
path('', views.index, name='index'),
path('entry/<int:pk>/', views.details, name='details'),
]
the urls.py of the project has to be as follows
# calenderproject/urls.py
from django.contrib import admin
from django.urls import path, include
urlpatterns = [
path('admin/', admin.site.urls),
path('', include(('myapp.urls', 'myapp'), namespace='myapp')),
]
use in the template as follows
# myapp/_calender_entry.html
View Details
that's how it works, I've checked
I found the error, delete this code from the template _calender_entry.html
<!-- {% include 'myapp/_calender_entry.html' %} -->
although this commented with html django equal it executes it to comment in the template uses {# {% include 'myapp / _calender_entry.html'%} #} in this way django does not execute it
