django tables 'module' object has no attribute 'index'

I'm trying to use the django tables 2 tutorial (Link) and I'm stuck with this error.

Edit: this happens when I try to access 127.0.0.1:8000/tables/

I'm stuck at the this part in the tutorial: "Hook the view up in your URLs, and load the page, you should see:" It doesn’t display this table and instead shows the error displayed below.

I tried the solutions listed in the other questions, but it hasn't helped. Can someone help me please?

Here's the code: https://github.com/karbfg10k/temp-work/tree/master/IMedMonitor/IMed

And here's the error

Solution

Uncomment the index method as Joel has stated and then render an html page as you have done in the people method, passing the table data as well.

https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.9/intro/tutorial03/

About 3/4 down the page (slightly modified to suit your example):

def index(request):
    table_object = ......
    template = loader.get_template('correct_page_here')
    context = {
        'table_obj': table_object,
}
    return HttpResponse(template.render(context, request))

In the corresponding html page add the appropriate tags to render the table

https://django-tables2.readthedocs.org/en/latest/pages/template-tags.html

I changed your model files to this:

from __future__ import unicode_literals

from django.db import models

data = [
    {"name": "Me!"},
    {"name": "Myself!"},
]

# Create your models here.
class Person(models.Model):
    name = models.CharField(verbose_name="full name", max_length = 20)

After changing the model file make sure you run

python manage.py makemigrations && python manage.py migrate

Your tables/urls.py file to:

from django.conf.urls import url
from . import views

urlpatterns = [
    url(r'^$', views.index, name='index'),
    url(r'^people/$', views.people, name='people'),
]

Your views.py file to:

from django.shortcuts import render
from django.http import HttpResponse
from models import Person 


def index(request):
    return HttpResponse("Hello, world. You're at the polls index.")


def people(request):
    return render(request, "people.html", {"people": Person.objects.all()})
    table = Person(data)

The installed apps in IMed/IMed/settings.py to:

# Application definition

INSTALLED_APPS = [
    'django.contrib.admin',
    'django.contrib.auth',
    'django.contrib.contenttypes',
    'django.contrib.sessions',
    'django.contrib.messages',
    'django.contrib.staticfiles',
    'django_tables2',
    'IMed',
    'tables',
]

Now if you run the server and go here:

http://127.0.0.1:8000/tables/people/

The people view will work and you can copy the same process in index as you have in people.
