I have a connected SQL database of flowers(genus,species,comname) populating a table that simply displays that information. I can only get the genus column to populate correctly but not the species / comname columns.

Working code - displays one column correctly:

update.html

<!--this is for the table -->
   <div class="container">
       <div class="row">
           <div class="col">
               <table id="table" border="1">
                   <tr>
                       <th class="cell">Genus</th>
                       <th class="cell">Species</th>
                       <th class="cell">Comname</th>
                   </tr>
                   <!--the next line with the python code works as long as you only want the genus information-->
                   {% for g in genus_update %}
                   <tr>
                       <td class="cell">{{g}}</td>
                       <!--<td class="cell">{{g}}</td>-->
                       <!--<td class="cell">{{c}}</td>-->
                   </tr>
                   {% endfor %}
               </table>
           </div>
           <div class="col">
               <!--the right column so that everything is lined up on the left side-->
           </div>
       </div>
   </div>

Trying to use a for loop for the others breaks the page (not certain why):

{% for s in species_update %}
  <tr>
    <td class="cell">{{s}}</td>
  </tr>
{% endfor %}

{% for c in comname_update %}
  <tr>
    <td class="cell">{{c}}</td>
  </tr>
{% endfor %}

Python.py:

from flask import Flask, render_template, request, g
import sqlite3

app = Flask (__name__)

# conn = sqlite3.connect('flowers.db')
# c = conn.cursor()

DATABASE = 'flowers.db'
def get_db():
   db = getattr(g, '_database', None)
   if db is None:
       db = g._database = sqlite3.connect(DATABASE)
   return db

@app.teardown_appcontext
def close_connection(exception):
   db = getattr(g, '_database', None)
   if db is not None:
       db.close()

@app.route('/')
def index():
   c = get_db().cursor()
   c.execute('SELECT COMNAME FROM FLOWERS')
   all_flowers = c.fetchall()
   return render_template("index.html", all_flowers=all_flowers)

@app.route('/update')
def update():
   c = get_db().cursor()
   # this just gets the data from the db
   c.execute('SELECT COMNAME FROM FLOWERS')
   comname_update = c.fetchall()
   c.execute('SELECT GENUS FROM FLOWERS')
   genus_update = c.fetchall()
   c.execute('SELECT SPECIES FROM FLOWERS')
   species_update = c.fetchall()
   zipped = zip(genus_update, species_update)
   return render_template("update.html", comname_update=comname_update, genus_update=genus_update, species_update=species_update, zipped=zipped)

@app.route('/profile/<name>')
def profile(name):
   return render_template("profile.html", name=name)


if __name__ == "__main__":
   app.run(debug=True)

Solved

Solution

html code:

{% for g, s, c in genus_flowers%}
                   <tr>
                       <td class="cell">{{g}}</td>
                       <td class="cell">{{s}}</td>
                       <td class="cell">{{c}}</td>

                   </tr>
{% endfor %}

python code:

@app.route('/update')
def update():
   c = get_db().cursor()
   # this just gets the data from the db

   c = get_db().cursor()
   c.execute('SELECT GENUS, SPECIES, COMNAME FROM FLOWERS')
   genus_flowers = c.fetchall()
   return render_template("update.html", genus_flowers=genus_flowers)
