Nothing renders on Django Template

building a news aggregator. I am collecting reddit and twitter posts using their APIs, and then I create a model object for each post, which is stored in my database. I'm then passing in these post objects as context into my template, looping through the context in the template with the hope to display the posts 'html' attribute (A model field I created) onto the page, which in turn embeds the post onto the screen.
However, I can't figure out why my template page is still blank. No errors are thrown, and the model objects are being created because I can see them in the admin panel. I'll provide my models.py, views.py, and template to be taken a glance at. I appreciate and am grateful for any help/advice.
models.py
class Post(models.Model):
post_type = models.CharField(
max_length=20, null=True, blank=True)
root_url = models.CharField(max_length=200, default="")
html = models.TextField(default="")
created_at = models.DateTimeField(auto_now_add=True)
views.py
def main(request):
all_posts = Post.objects.all
context = {'posts': all_posts}
return render(request, "test.html", context)
template
{% block content %} {% autoescape off %}
<div class="container">

{{ post.html }}
{% endif %}

{% endif %}
<br>
{% endfor %}

</div>
</div>

{% endautoescape %}{% endblock %}

In your views.py, your attempt to create a queryset is missing the parenthesis on the all method:
all_posts = Post.objects.all()
You have mentioned in the comments that the <br> tags within the {% for %} loops are being rendered. This would indicate that when you check for {% if post.post_type == 'twitter' %} (and the equivalent for reddit), there are no matches.
Check your Post model in Django admin to ensure you have records with post_type values that equal 'twitter' and 'reddit'.

Sorry if my code looks really weird
Thank you

Let's start with this edit in urls:
posts = Post.objects.all(),
should be
posts = Post.objects.all()
Note the dropped comma.
I have made that mistake MANY times and it is really hard to spot sometimes. Here is what happens when you have a trailing comma (you get an iterable wrapper)
If you still have a problem LMK.

There is a trailing comma at the end of:
posts = Post.objects.all(),
# trailing comma ^
this means you wrap the item in a singleton tuple. It is thus a tuple with one element, the collection of object.
You should remove the comma at the end:
posts = Post.objects.all()
I would furthermore rename 'Post' to posts, since this gives a hit that it is a collection of items.

Django - How to create a slug url that works?

I'm a newbie and I've been battling with an error while trying to display the detail page of a post. I've checked other answers relating to this question but the solutions still don't work for me.
This is the error I'm getting:
Reverse for 'blog_post' with no arguments not found. 1 pattern(s) tried: ['blog\\/post/(?P<slug>[-\\w]+)/$']
This is my model:
class Post(models.Model):
STATUS_CHOICES = (
('draft', 'Draft'),
('published', 'Published'),
)
title = models.CharField(max_length=200)
slug = models.SlugField(max_length=200, unique_for_date='publish')
author = models.ForeignKey('auth.User', on_delete=models.CASCADE)
body = models.TextField()
publish = models.DateTimeField(default=timezone.now)
created = models.DateTimeField(auto_now_add=True)
updated = models.DateTimeField(auto_now=True)
status = models.CharField(max_length=10, choices=STATUS_CHOICES,
default='draft')
class Meta:
ordering = ('-publish',)
def __str__(self):
return self.title
def get_absolute_url(self):
return reverse('blog:post', args=[str(self.slug)])
View functions:
class BlogHomePageView(ListView):
model = Post
template_name = 'blog/index.html'
class PostDetailView(DetailView):
model = Post
template_name = 'blog/post.html'
slug_url_kwarg = 'slug'
query_pk_and_slug = True
Urlpatterns:
path('', BlogHomePageView.as_view(), name='blog_home'),
re_path(r'post/(?P<slug>[-\w]+)/$', PostDetailView.as_view(), name='blog_post'),
base.html

{% for post in object_list %}
<div class="post-preview">
<a href="{{ post.get_absolute_url }}">

</h2>

If you look at your URL definition, you can see that it expects an argument slug:
re_path(r'post/(?P<slug>[-\w]+)/$', PostDetailView.as_view(), name='blog_post'),
which, by the way, could also be expressed as as of Django 2.0:
path('post/<slug:slug>/', PostDetailView.as_view(), name='blog_post'),
Now, the error message from the image shows clearly that you are calling the URL template tag without said argument, it only has
href="{% url 'blog_post' %}"
and no slug argument is present.
You need to add the slug argument.
You have not even shown us the right template in your question where the line appears that is shown in the error message, so I cannot help further than this.

So guys, I finally figured it out. My slug url is now working perfectly.
The error was actually coming from my list page. The url to the detail view wasn't written well. I didn't include a namespace. So instead of <a href="{{ post.get_absolute_url }}"> it becomes <a href="{% url 'blog:blog_post' post.slug %}">
I also deleted redundant lines of codes in my models and my views page.
Here is what it looks like now.
models.py:
class Post(models.Model):
STATUS_CHOICES = (
('draft', 'Draft'),
('published', 'Published'),
)
title = models.CharField(max_length=200)
slug = models.SlugField(max_length=200, default="")
author = models.ForeignKey('auth.User', on_delete=models.CASCADE)
body = models.TextField()
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
views.py
class BlogHomePageView(ListView):
model = Post
template_name = 'blog/index.html'
context_object_name = 'posts'
class PostDetailView(DetailView):
model = Post
template_name = 'blog/post.html'
context_object_name = 'post'
blog/urls.py:
urlpatterns = [
path('', BlogHomePageView.as_view(), name='blog_home'),
path('post/<slug:slug>/', PostDetailView.as_view(), name='blog_post'),
]
list page(index.html):
{% extends 'blog/base.html' %}
{% block title %}Home{% endblock %}
<!-- Page Header -->
{% block page_header %}
<div class="site-heading">

How to process specific model prices in Django with Stripe

So here's my code first and foremost. I'm new to Django and trying to create an ecommerce site. The way it works is that the admin creates products and users come on to the site and purchase them. The site uses Stripe to process payments.
views.py:
from django.shortcuts import render
from django.views import generic
from django.core.paginator import Paginator
from django.conf import settings
import stripe
import decimal
stripe.api_key = settings.STRIPE_SECRET_KEY
from .models import Product
# Create your views here.
class ProductListView(generic.ListView):
model = Product
paginate_by = 3
def get_context_data(self, **kwargs): # new
context = super().get_context_data(**kwargs)
context['key'] = settings.STRIPE_PUBLISHABLE_KEY
return context
def charge(request):
if request.method == 'POST':
charge = stripe.Charge.create(
amount=round(decimal.Decimal(request.POST['price'])),
currency='usd',
description='A Django charge',
source=request.POST['stripeToken']
)
return render(request, 'store/charge.html')
product_list.html:
{% extends 'home/base_generic.html' %}
{% load static %}
{% load cool_paginate %}
{% block add %}
<link rel="stylesheet" href="{% static 'store/css/products.css'%}">
{% endblock %}
{% block title %} <title> Store </title> {% endblock %}
{% block content %}
<div class="row">
{% for product in product_list %}
<div class="col-sm-4">
<div class="card" id="django-card" style="width: 300px; height: 350px;">
<img class="card-img-top" src="{{ product.image.url }}" height=150px width=150px>
<div class="card-body">
<h5 class="card-title">{{ product.name }}</h5>
<p class="card-text">
{{ product.description }} And only {{ product.price }}!
</p>
<form action="{% url 'charge' %}" method="post">
{% csrf_token %}
<script src="https://checkout.stripe.com/checkout.js" class="stripe-button"
data-key="{{ key }}"
data-description="A Django Charge"
data-amount= "{{ product.price_in_cents }}"
data-locale="auto">
</script>
<input type="hidden" name="price" value="{{ product.price_in_cents }}">
</form>
</div>
</div>
</div>
{% endfor %}
<div class="container-fluid">
<div style="margin-top: 50px;"> {% cool_paginate page_obj=product %}</div>
</div>
</div>
{% endblock %}
So, my question is, when the user selects a product to purchase, how do I tell the view to use that products price? The way I've been doing it is using a hidden html value field in the input. But this can't be secure. Thanks to all who take the time to respond.

Ok, after a few grueling hours of work I solved it. I opted to keep the hidden field form but instead of using price I used it to return the product primary key. Which I used in the view to grab the price and make charges.

MTV newbie issues with Python Django

I am kinda new with the MVC and MTV concept and i am trying to learn Python Django. I want to make catalog with books, must have add and delete functionality. I am trying to follow best practices and working with Generic views, but kinda stuck at the end, i feel that i am missing something very small but i cant figure it out - to be honest i am very exhausted at this moment and i dont have much time. So this is my code:

Currently i cant add or delete any books, any help will be appreciated. Thank you.

I've cut and pasted all your code, plus a relevant urls.py, into a new project. The immediate problem is that you're not showing any form errors in your add.html. You can just add {{ form.errors }} at the top of the template.
Once you've done that, you'll see the actual issue: you're not providing all relevant fields when creating your book. In fact, Django can't see any fields, because you haven't given any of the inputs name attributes. Really, you shouldn't create the input elements manually: you should get Django to do that, because then it also takes responsibility for prepopulating the field with the existing value either when re-showing the form with errors, or when editing an existing Book. It should look like this:
{{ form.title.label_tag }}
{{ form.title }}
{{ form.title.errors }}
Then the outstanding issue is that you're not including the isbn or pages fields, which your model is treating as required. You can either set them as blank=False in the model, or use an exclude list in the ModelForm. Either way, you'll need null=False in the model field for pages.
Or, of course, you can add them to the form. To be honest, the easiest thing for you to do now, while you're learning, is to replace all the HTML inside your <form> tag with just {{ form.as_p }}, so that Django outputs everything for you.
