{% block page_content %}
<h1>Projects</h1>
<div class="row">
{% for project in projects %}
<div class="col-md-4">
<div class="card mb-2">
<img class="card-img-top" src="{% static project.image %}">
<div class="card-body">
<h5 class="card-title">{{ project.title }}</h5>
<p class="card-text">{{ project.description }}</p>
<a href="{% url 'project_detail' project.pk %}"
class="btn btn-primary">

</a>
</div>
</div>
</div>
{% endfor %}
</div>
{% endblock %}
Need help with displaying data in gridview . I m new to all this. I m able to read and display the data on a page from mongodb but need to display in a table.

</tr>
{% for item in query_results %}
<tr>
<td>{{ item.field1 }}</td>
...
<td>{{ item.fieldN }}</td>
</tr>
{% endfor %}
</table>
My urls.py
from django.urls import path

]
My model.py
from django.db import models

db_table = "spiderCollection1"
additional tables.py
import django_tables2 as tables
from .models import Project

class Meta:
model = Project
template_name = "django_tables2/bootstrap.html"
title = tables.Column("title")
desc = tables.Column("desc")
urls = tables.Column("urls")
following is views.py
from django_tables2 import SingleTableView
from django.shortcuts import render

#project = Project.objects.get(pk=pk)
project = Project.objects.all()
context = {

}
return render(request, 'project_detail.html',context)
my main base.html

If the goal is to display a table without using the django-table2 package follow the first part of the answer. If the goal is to use django-table2 then jump to Part II:
Part I
Based on your colde, let us use the example snippet, and edit it in order to display your project data in an HTML table...
Starting with your project_index.html, we need create the skeleton of the html table using <table>, <thead>, <tbody> and <th> tags, and then to loop over the passed projects context variable and add entries to the table using the <td> tag. And because you are using the bootstrap framework, we will need the row and the column divss to display the table correctly.
{% extends "base.html" %}
{% load static %}
{% block page_content %}
<h1>Projects</h1>
<div class="row">
<div class="col-md-4">
<table class="table table-striped table-hover">
<thead>
<th>#</th>
<th>title</th>
<th>description</th>
</thead>
<tbody>
{% for project in projects %}
<td><strong>{{ forloop.counter }} </strong></td>
<td><strong>{{ project.title}</strong></td>
<td>{{ project.description} <a href="{% url 'project_detail' project.pk %}" class="btn btn-primary">Read More</a> </td>
{% endfor %}
</tbody>
</table>
<div>
</div>
{% endblock %}
Make sure that your url.py points to the function project_index
To learn more check:
Part II
Django-table2 is a package that provides an app and middleware to generate html tables. In order to use it in your app make the following changes to your project_index.html:
{% extends "base.html" %}
{% load render_table from django_tables %}
{% load static %}
{% block page_content %}
<h1>Projects</h1>
<div class="row">
<div class="col-md-4">
{% render_table projects %}
</div>
</div>
{% endblock %}
The code above will use the html template provided by django-table2 for rendering tables, defined in your class ProjectTable
class ProjectTable(tables.Table):
class Meta:
model = Project
template_name = "django_tables2/bootstrap.html"
...
If you want to use a custom rendering you will need to set the template_name of the ProjectTable to your custom.html:
class ProjectTable(tables.Table):
class Meta:
model = Project
template_name = "custom.html"
...
Now create custom.html and add the code that will actually iterate over the items of the projects context variable. Maybe something like this (copied from the django_tables2/semantic.html)... Make changes you want to this template.
{% load django_tables2 %}
{% load i18n %}
{% block table-wrapper %}
<div class="ui container table-container">
{% block table %}
<table {% render_attrs table.attrs class="ui celled table" %}>
{% block table.thead %}
{% if table.show_header %}
<thead {{ table.attrs.thead.as_html }}>
<tr>
{% for column in table.columns %}
<th {{ column.attrs.th.as_html }}>
{% if column.orderable %}
<a href="{% querystring table.prefixed_order_by_field=column.order_by_alias.next %}">{{ column.header }}</a>
{% else %}
{{ column.header }}
{% endif %}
</th>
{% endfor %}
</tr>
</thead>
{% endif %}
{% endblock table.thead %}
{% block table.tbody %}
<tbody {{ table.attrs.tbody.as_html }}>
{% for row in table.paginated_rows %}
{% block table.tbody.row %}
<tr {{ row.attrs.as_html }}>
{% for column, cell in row.items %}
<td {{ column.attrs.td.as_html }}>{% if column.localize == None %}{{ cell }}{% else %}{% if column.localize %}{{ cell|localize }}{% else %}{{ cell|unlocalize }}{% endif %}{% endif %}</td>
{% endfor %}
</tr>
{% endblock table.tbody.row %}
{% empty %}
{% if table.empty_text %}
{% block table.tbody.empty_text %}
<tr><td colspan="{{ table.columns|length }}">{{ table.empty_text }}</td></tr>
{% endblock table.tbody.empty_text %}
{% endif %}
{% endfor %}
</tbody>
{% endblock table.tbody %}
{% block table.tfoot %}
<tfoot {{ table.attrs.tfoot.as_html }}>
{% if table.has_footer %}
<tr>
{% for column in table.columns %}
<td {{ column.attrs.tf.as_html }}>{{ column.footer }}</td>
{% endfor %}
</tr>
{% endif %}
{% block pagination %}
{% if table.page and table.paginator.num_pages > 1 %}
<tr>
<th colspan="{{ table.columns|length }}">
<div class="ui right floated pagination menu">
{% if table.page.has_previous %}
{% block pagination.previous %}
<a href="{% querystring table.prefixed_page_field=table.page.previous_page_number %}" class="icon item">
<i class="left chevron icon"></i>
</a>
{% endblock pagination.previous %}
{% endif %}
{% if table.page.has_previous or table.page.has_next %}
{% block pagination.range %}
{% for p in table.page|table_page_range:table.paginator %}
{% if p == '...' %}
<a href="#" class="item">{{ p }}</a>
{% else %}
<a href="{% querystring table.prefixed_page_field=p %}" class="item {% if p == table.page.number %}active{% endif %}">
{{ p }}
</a>
{% endif %}
{% endfor %}
{% endblock pagination.range %}
{% endif %}
{% if table.page.has_next %}
{% block pagination.next %}
<a href="{% querystring table.prefixed_page_field=table.page.next_page_number %}" class="icon item">
<i class="right chevron icon"></i>
</a>
{% endblock pagination.next %}
{% endif %}
</div>
</th>
</tr>
{% endif %}
{% endblock pagination %}
</tfoot>
{% endblock table.tfoot %}
</table>

...
path("projects/", ProjectListView.as_view())
