    <p>I'm teaching myself Django, and I'm trying to do a test thing such that a pre-existing user will get a page listing his or her "stuff," a new user will get a page informing him or her that they're not in the system, and a list of users can be generated. The problem is that I keep getting KeyErrors for any users not in the pre-existing users dictionary (it works fine if the user is in the dict). I'm not sure if the problem is in the way I've structured the relevant function in my views.py or in the way I'm using the templateTags, or what. Django's error page points to the context line of my views.py page, but I don't know if that's actually the problem.</p> <p>Any help would be greatly appreciated.</p> <p>My code:</p> <p>views.py:</p> <pre><code>def hiUser(request,uname): t = get_template("samplate1.html") ds,ti = getTime() user_stuff = {"sam":["a","b","c"],"kathy":["foo","bar"],"rob":[]} c = Context({"date":ds,"time":ti,"user":uname,"user_stuff":user_stuff[uname],"users":user_stuff.keys()}) return HttpResponse(t.render(c)) </code></pre> <p>samplate1.html:</p> <pre><code>&lt;html&gt; {% ifequal user "list" %} &lt;head&gt;&lt;title&gt;List of Users&lt;/title&gt;&lt;/head&gt; &lt;body&gt;&lt;h1&gt;List of users&lt;/h1&gt; &lt;ul&gt; {% for user in users %} &lt;li&gt;{{ user }}&lt;/li&gt; {% empty %} &lt;p&gt;No users listed!&lt;/p&gt; {% endfor %} &lt;/ul&gt; {% endifequal %} {% if user in users %} &lt;head&gt;&lt;title&gt;Greetings, {{ user }}&lt;/title&gt;&lt;/head&gt; &lt;body&gt; &lt;h1&gt;Hello&lt;/h1&gt; &lt;p&gt;Greetings, {{ user }}&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;The date is {{ date }}&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;The time is {{ time }}&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Here is a list of your stuff:&lt;/p&gt; &lt;ul&gt; {% for item in user_stuff %} &lt;li&gt;{{ item }}&lt;/li&gt; {% empty %} &lt;p&gt;You don't have any stuff!&lt;/p&gt; {% endfor %} &lt;/ul&gt; {% else %} &lt;head&gt;&lt;title&gt;You're new here, huh?&lt;/title&gt;&lt;/head&gt; &lt;body&gt; &lt;h1&gt;Hello&lt;/h1&gt; &lt;p&gt;Your username is not in our database.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;You should probably fix that.&lt;/p&gt; {% endif %} </code></pre> <p>and finally:</p> <p>urls.py:</p> <pre><code>... urlpatterns = ('', (r'^user/name/(.*)/$',hiUser), ) </code></pre>

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
