    <p>I am trying to implement an ajax view to create an object and then return it and insert it into the template. It is almost working except I cannot seem to get render_to_string() to work to render the html to insert. The object is being created and html is being returned and inserted into the template however the variables are not included in the html. My view is below.</p> <pre><code>def tr_create_xhr(request, person, slug): if request.method == "POST": form = TopicResourceForm(request.POST) if form.is_valid(): try: r = Resource.objects.get(url=form.cleaned_data['resource']) except Resource.DoesNotExist: r = Resource.objects.create(url=form.cleaned_data['resource'], rtype=form.cleaned_data['rtype']) r.save() obj = form.save(commit=False) obj.resource = r try: topic = Topic.objects.get(person__user=request.user, slug__iexact=slug) except Topic.DoesNotExist: return Http404 obj.topic = topic objs = obj.save() html = render_to_string('includes/tr_inc.html',{"r":objs, "topic":topic}) res = {'html':html} if request.is_ajax(): return HttpResponse(simplejson.dumps(res), mimetype="application/json") else: return HttpResponseRedirect("../..") return Http404 </code></pre> <p>This is the template "includes/tr_inc.html":</p> <pre><code>{% load markup %} {% load people_tags %} &lt;li&gt; &lt;h5&gt;{{ r.title }}&lt;/h5&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;a class="tru" href={{ r.resource.url }}&gt;{{ r.resource.url|sliceit:70 }}&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;span class="oc"&gt;&lt;p&gt;Added {{ r.added }}{% if r.rtype %} |&lt;a href={% url resource_type_detail r.rtype.slug %}&gt;{{ r.rtype }}&lt;/a&gt;{% endif %} | &lt;a href="/topics/user/{{ r.topic.person.user }}/{{ r.topic.slug }}/topic-resource/delete/{{ r.id }}/"&gt;Delete&lt;/a&gt; &lt;a href="/topics/user/{{ r.topic.person.user }}/{{ r.topic.slug }}/topic-resource/edit/{{ r.id }}/"&gt;Edit&lt;/a&gt; {{ r.note|markdown }}&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/li&gt; </code></pre> <p>The html string that is returned is the template without any variables inserted.</p>

    1. COWhat do you mean "the variables are not included in the html"? Include expected versus actual output in your question.

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.

SQuiL has stopped working due to an internal error.

If you are curious you may find further information in the browser console, which is accessible through the devtools (F12).
