Django: Why is my view not displaying to HTML

Question

I'm new to django and trying to get my machine learning model to display recommendations for a logged in user.

The current view is this:

def my_view(request):
    username = None
    if request.User.is_authenticated():
        username = request.User.username
        result3 = get_recommendation(username, n=10)
        return render(request,'test.html', {'result3':result3})
    else:
        pass

It searches for the currently logged in user, and passes their user id (their username) into the function to get a recommendation for that user, and attempts to impute the result onto a html test page (the user is already logged in to be accessing this test page). The test page itself looks like this:

{% if user.is_authenticated %}
    {{ result3 }}
{% endif %}

Does anyone know what I'm doing wrong?

Answer 1

Your html should be like this instead:

    {% if request.user.is_authenticated %}
      {{ result3 }}
    {% endif %}

And your views.py

def my_view(request):
    username = None
    if request.user.is_authenticated():
        username = request.user.username
        result3 = get_recommendation(username, n=10)
        return render(request,'test.html', {'result3':result3})
    else:
        pass
