Re: Why is my Django template not displaying?

That absolutely did it James - I thought I was accessing the instance, but what I needed was to access the template context contents of the instance. Also, great tip with the django debug toolbar - I've had it installed, but didn't know how much it actually shows!

Assuming my model contains data, I have myapp/views.py:

from django.template import RequestContext  from django.shortcuts import render  from .models import History  import datetime    def live_view(request):      context = RequestContext(request)      plays_list = History.objects.filter(date=datetime.date(2016,04,22))      context_list = {'plays':plays_list}      return render(request,'live.html',context_list)

myapp/templates/live.html:

{% extends 'base.html' %}  {% block content %}  {% for key, value in context_list.items %}      {{ value }}  {% endfor %}  {% endblock %}
myapp/urls.py:
from myapp.views import live_view  urlpatterns = [url(r'^live/$', live_view, name="live"),]

The output is a page that renders only the base.html template, with no content in the body. What's wrong with my view function or template rendering? Should I be inheriting from TemplateView?
