Django - 'function' object is not iterable - Error during template rendering

Question

So, I've been trying to create a user login. When I click submit on my login form, I get this error:

Exception Type: TypeError
Exception Value: 'function' object is not iterable

Here's the full Traceback: http://dpaste.com/3D1B7MG

So, If I'm reading the Traceback correctly, the problem is in the {% extends "base.html" %} line of all_poss.html. So would that would mean the problem is actually inside base.html? or in the view that controls all_posts?

My all_posts.html

{% extends "base.html" %}
{% load staticfiles %}

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
    <meta charset="UTF-8">
    <style></style>
<title></title>
</head>
<body>
</body>
</html>

base.html

{% load staticfiles %}
{% load crispy_forms_tags %}

Edit 1: login.html login.html and register.html are identical modals, one with a login form and the other with the registration one.

{% load staticfiles %}
{% load crispy_forms_tags %}

<div class="modal" id="modal-login">
        <div class="modal-dialog">
            <div class="modal-content">
                <form enctype="multipart/form-data" method="post" action="login/">
                    <div class="modal-header">
                        <button type="button" class="close" data-dismiss="modal">&times;</button>
                        <h3 class="modal-title">Log In</h3>
                    </div>
                    <div class="modal-body">
                        {% csrf_token %}
                        {{ authenticationform|crispy }}
                    </div>
                    <div class="modal-footer">
                        <input type='submit' class="btn btn-primary" value="Log In" />
                    </div>
                </form>
            </div>
        </div>
</div>

Edit 2: register.html

{% load staticfiles %}
{% load crispy_forms_tags %}

<div class="modal" id="modal-register">
        <div class="modal-dialog">
            <div class="modal-content">
                <form enctype="multipart/form-data" method="post" action="register/">
                    <div class="modal-header">
                        <button type="button" class="close" data-dismiss="modal">&times;</button>
                        <h3 class="modal-title">Register</h3>
                    </div>
                    <div class="modal-body">
                        {% csrf_token %}
                        {{ registrationform|crispy }}
                    </div>
                    <div class="modal-footer">
                        <input type='submit' class="btn btn-primary" value="Register" />
                    </div>
                </form>
            </div>
        </div>
</div>

why are you extending base.html anyway? You are not making use of anything in base in all_posts — e4c5

Show register.html and login.html templates and urls.py, please. — Vladimir Danilov

I added login.html and register.html. they are basically just modals. — ngx311

Alright, I was able to solve it.

The problem was apparently in my base.html where I had:

<li><a href="{% url 'profile' %}">{{ user.username }}</a></li>

and

<li><a href="{% url 'logout' %}">Log Out</a></li>

and I just changed the href="{% %}" tags to "profile/" and "logout/" respectively.

I ran into this error while doing the Django tutorial.

The core problem was in my app's urls.py, in urlpatterns, with the second argument here:

    path('', views.index, views.IndexView.as_view(), name='index'),

It should have been:

    path('', views.IndexView.as_view(), name='index'),

Not sure how the extra views.index snuck in there but it was causing the problem. (as to why that exact error occurs - not going to dig too deep)

I believe this is preferable to deleting the {% url '...' id %} call and hard-coding its result as advised in the solution above.
