Question

I’m sure I worded the question incorrectly, but here goes…
I have a list of conferences being displayed in conference_list.html as well as the amount of attendees. . They’re titles show up fine… However, the amount of attendees are the same for every conference.

Conference 1        Attendees 2
Conference 2        Attendees 2
Conference 3        Attendees 2 
Conference 4        Attendees 2

Conference 4 is the only conference that has 2 attendees. The others have different amounts.

Views.py:

@login_required
def conference_list(request):
    try:
        session_notification = request.session['notification']
        del(request.session['notification'])
    except:
        session_notification = None

    PAGE_SIZE = 20#number of conferences per page
    page = int(request.GET.get('page', 1))
    upper_bound = page * PAGE_SIZE - 1
    lower_bound = (page - 1) * PAGE_SIZE

    context = base_context(request)
    network = context['network']

    conferences = Conference.objects.all()
    second = []
    result = []
    counter = 0

    for conference in conferences:
        is_attending = False
        if counter < lower_bound or counter > upper_bound:
            counter += 1
            result.append(None)
            continue
        result_item = {}
        result_item['conference'] = conference
        result.append(result_item)
        counter += 1

        attendees = conference.investors.all()
        count = attendees.count()
        if request.user in attendees:
            is_attending = True

        context['attendees'] = attendees
        context['is_attending'] = is_attending
        context['count'] = count

    context['current'] = 'conferences'
    context['conferences'] = result

    return render_to_response('conference_list.html', context, context_instance=RequestContext(request))

Template:

{% for conference in conferences %}
     <p>{{ conference.conference.name }}</p><span>{{ count }}</span>
{% endfor %}

Why is this happening? Why can’t I display the proper amount?

Your count variable only holds the last value, since you simply overwrite it on each iteration of your loop in your view. Try result_item['conferences']['count'] = count and move the line result.append(result_item) after it. Adjust your template accordingly.
