Listing the Questions on index.html

In view.py under index function get the list of question and store them in an object then pass them to the url


# Get questions and display them
def index(request):
    latest_question_list = Question.objects.order_by('-pub_date')[:5]
    context = {'latest_question_list': latest_question_list}
    return render(request, 'polls/index.html', context)

Edit index.html

Create Showing Specific Question’ View, Url & Template

In view.py create another function, find the question using its id then pass it as a dictionary to the url


# Show specific question and choices
def detail(request, question_id):
  try:
    question = Question.objects.get(pk=question_id)
  except Question.DoesNotExist:
    raise Http404("Question does not exist")
  return render(request, 'polls/detail.html', { 'question': question })

Add the url to polls/urls.py


 path('/', views.detail, name='detail'),

Create the template: create detail.html

Create Nav and Partial Templates

In templates folder create a folder partials and create a file _navbar.html the _ means it’s partial, not a full template

Then include it the base.html file
