This hopefully is a pretty easy question. My endgoal is to be able to view my database entries in a table which I can sort via the column headers. I have read the documentation on cycle tags, but don't know they mean by 'row1' and 'row2':
{% for o in some_list %}<tr class="{% cycle 'row1' 'row2' %}">...</tr>
{% endfor %}
Secondly, how would I correctly implement it into my template? I am using a very simple JS library, which will allow the sorting:
page.html
{% if Variable %}<table class="sortable"><tr><th>Title 1</th><th>Title 2</th><th>Title 3</th><th>Title 4</th><th>Title 5</th></tr>{% for stuff in Variable %}<tr class="{% cycle 'stuff' %}"> <td><a href="{% url 'detail_page' stuff.id %}">{{ stuff.Name|capfirst }}</a></td></tr>{% endfor %}</table>
{% else %}<p>No Results Found</p>
{% endif %}
my models.py in case you need it:
def view(request):Variable = database.objects.all()context = {'Variable': Variable,}return render(request, 'app/page.html', context)
EDIT: It seems I had the right code all along, just some unevenly applied CSS that made my table not look like a table. The cycle tag was not needed, only the for loop. It also looked better after adding another table row:
{% for stuff in Variable %}
<tr><td>{{ stuff.Name|capfirst }}</td><td>{{ stuff.Number|capfirst }}</td>
</tr>
{% endfor %}
