Have a Page for each Specific Entry - Django

Question

I am using Django 1.5.1 and right now I have a webpage showing multiple entries from my database but now I want to have a page for each entry by it self. So basically when a user clicks on the title, it brings them to a separate page only showing the entry they clicked.

I am getting the following error:

NameError at /
name 'Post' is not defined

Below is my code for each page that I think is relevant to solving this problem. I also have a post.html page created so that can't be my error, views.py and urls.py are stored in the default directory of Django and my post.html and index.html are stored in /mysite/mysite/templates/blog/

index.html

 {% extends 'base.html' %}
{% block title %} Roadcase WebApp {% endblock %}
{% block content %}
    <h1>Roadcase WebApp</h1>
    <p>Today's Date: {% now "F j, Y" %}</p>
    <div class="post">
        <table class="main">
            <tr class="title_head">
                <td><a href="">ID</a></td>
                <td><a href="">Roadcase</a></td>
                <td><a href="">User</a></td>
                <td><a href="">Location</a></td>
                <td><a href="">Date Taken</a></td>
                <td><a href="">Return Date</a></td>
                <td><a href="">Returned</a></td>
            </tr>
    {% for post in posts %}
            <tr>

Answer 1

I would do that:

in your views.py:

from django.shortcuts import render, get_object_or_404
from django.views.generic import DetailView, ListView
from blog.models import Post

class Index(ListView):
    model = Post
    template_name = 'blog/index.html'
    def get_queryset(self)
        return super(Index, self).get_queryset().filter(published=True).order_by('-id')

def PostDetailView(DetailView):
    model = Post
    template_name = 'blog/post.html'

in your PROJECT urls.py :

from django.conf.urls import patterns, include, url
from django.contrib import admin

admin.autodiscover()

urlpatterns = patterns('',
    url(r'^admin/', include(admin.site.urls)),
    url(r'^blog/',include("blog.urls")),

)

in your blog app urls.py:

from blog.views import PostDetailView, Index

urlpatterns = patterns('',
    url(r'^$',Index.as_view()),
    url(r'^post/(?P<slug>[\w-]+)/$',PostDetailView.as_view()),

    url(r'^post/(?P<pk>\d+)$', PostDetailView.as_view()),
)

EDIT Added imports

Answer 2

You have error in urls.py Need add import Post, cause DetailView using this as model

from blog.models import Post
