Question

Answer 1

+1 A:

There is no method as_table on a model instance (MyModel())or on Querysets (MyModel.objects.all()). You may have seen as_table as the forms method as_table. You don't have a form there.

If you want to print a model instance/ a queryset as a table, you will have to design it yourself.

Answer 2

A:

If you're just looking to output one specific model, change your template to something like

<tr>
  <td>Name:</td>
  <td>{{ output.name}}</td>
</tr>

for all the fields you care about. If this is something you want to be able to do for any arbitrary model in your app, take a look at this snippet. That would provide you with a fields collection to loop over.

Answer 3

A:

So what you need to do is the following:

1) add

from django.forms import ModelForm to your models.py

2) add

class My_Model_Form(ModelForm):  
           class Meta:  
               model = My_Model

3) in your views.py, change output = My_Model() to output = My_Model_Form()

Now you are all set. So the trick is to inherit your Form from your original model.
