Django , models object not displayed in views

Question

im newbie in django. I have some question related to models. So, i was trying to display the model name and date to the views by iterating to all of them. But somehow they dont show up in the views, i tried to search in google but none fixed my problem. Im sorry if i asked some ridiculous question, but here is my code. And also i already checked my models and theyre valid Models from django.db import models from django.utils import timezone from django.utils.text import slugify class Post(models.Model): title = models.CharField(max_length=30) body = models.TextField() time_post = models.DateTimeField(auto_now_add=True) time_edit = models.DateTimeField(editable=False,blank = True) slug = models.SlugField(editable=False, blank=True) def save(self): self.slug = slugify(self.title) self.time_edit = timezone.now() super(Post, self).save() def __str__(self): return "{}. {}".format(self.id, self.title) urls from django.shortcuts import render from .models import Post def blog(request): posts = Post.objects.all(), context = { 'title':'Blog ', 'contributor':'Chris', 'img':'blog/img/BlogBanner.jpg', 'Post':posts, 'nav': [ ['/blog/recent','Recent'], ['/blog/news','News'], ['/blog','Blog'], ['/about','About'], ['/', 'Index'] ] } return render(request,'blog/blog.html',context) My blog.html {% extends "base.html" %} {% load static %} {% block app_css %} {% endblock app_css %} {% block header %}

Welcome to {{title}} | ChrisDjango

This was made in Django by {{contributor}}

{% endblock header %} {% block content1 %} {% for post in Post %}

#THE TITLE AND TIMEPOST DIDNT SHOW UP

{% endfor %} {% endblock content1 %} base.html {% load static %} {%include "snippets/styles.html"%} {% block app_css %} {% endblock app_css %} {{title}} | ChrisDjango {%include "snippets/navbar.html"%}

{% block header %} {% endblock header %}

{% block content1 %} {% endblock content1 %}

{% block content2 %} {% endblock content2 %}

{%include "snippets/scripts.html"%} 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.
