'Photo' object is not iterable error in django

Question

I have created a page when the staff click on the view button, it should redirect them to the view page, but I am getting this error 'Photo' object is not iterable as shown in the picture below. How do I solve this error?

This is how my page looks like with the view button

Answer 1

You don't return a queryset but instead s single instance in your view (indicated by the get method), thus it is not iterable.

def view(request, pk):

    alldescription = Photo.objects.get(id=pk) 

    return render(request, 'view.html', {'alldescription': alldescription})

That's why you cant iterate in your template.

Just use

<img src="/media/{{ alldescription.image }}" width="250px">

and return the other loops in viewreception.html and logisticbase.html templates as well.

Answer 2

You use

Photo.objects.get(id=pk)

But get() returns you a single item. In your template, you try to iterate through this one item. It is not possible. So this is the reason you get an error while rendering related template.

You should use in your template by removing for-loop:

<img src="/media/{{ alldescription.Photo.image }}" width="250px">
