How to send object from detail view to another view in Django?

I have a detail view that uses a Quiz object to display data stored in that object, like title and author. I want to have a button that links to a new page that displays different data from the same object. I don't know how to pass this data/object.
I can render the view and pass it the context of a specific quiz using an id but I want the id to change to be the id of the object from the initial page.
#assessement view
def assessment(request):
context = {
'quiz':Quiz.objects.get(id=1),
}
return render(request, 'quiz_app/assessment.html', context)
#detailview template for quiz
{% extends "quiz_app/base.html" %}
{% block content %}
<article class="quiz-detail">
<h1>{{ object.title }}</h1>
<h2>{{ object.question_amount }} Questions</h2>
<a class="btn" href="{% url 'quiz-assessment' %}">Start Quiz</a>
</article>
{% endblock content %}
#assessment template
{% extends "quiz_app/base.html" %}
{% block content %}
<h2>Assessment</h2>
<h2>Title is {{ quiz.title }}</h2>
{% endblock content %}

Then you should make another view for url quiz-assessment and pass the quiz pk as you did above in your assessment view.
def quiz_assessment(request,pk):
quiz = Quiz.objects.get (pk=pk)
return render (request,'assessment_template', {'quiz':quiz}
And in your url,pass the quiz id like this:
path ('<int:pk>/quiz/assessment /',views.quiz_assessment,name='quiz_assessment')
And in your template you can give url like this:
< a class="btn" href="{% url 'quiz_assessment' object.pk %}>

As suggested in the comments by #Robin Zigmond, you can do like this.
#assessement view
def assessment(request, qid):
context = {
'quiz':Quiz.objects.get(id=qid),
}
return render(request, 'quiz_app/assessment.html', context)
In the HTML file
#detailview template for quiz
{% extends "quiz_app/base.html" %}
{% block content %}
<article class="quiz-detail">
<h1>{{ object.title }}</h1>
<h2>{{ object.question_amount }} Questions</h2>
<a class="btn" href="{% url 'quiz-assessment' qid=object.id %}">Start Quiz</a>
</article>
{% endblock content %}
and in your urls.py change as:
path('quiz_asswssment/?P<int:qid>/', views.assessment, name="quiz_assessment")

Besides, what SammyJ has suggested, You can use the django sessions library or the django cache framework. You can temporarily store the information you need for the next view and access it whenever you want to.
In what Sammy J had suggested, you will always to have make sure that the queryset is passed in the context, otherwise it will not be rendered.
def assesment(self, request, id):
q = Quiz.objects.get(pk=id)
request.session["someData"] = q.name
request.session["qAmount] = q.amount
In your template file
<p>The title is : {{request.session.title}} and the amount is {{request.session.qamount}}
Note: Django sessions do not allow you to set a queryset as a session record, for that, you can use Django Cache framework.
Example
from django.core.cache import cache
cache.set('quiz', q)
getting cache -> cache.get('quiz')
Sessions framework docs : https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/2.2/topics/http/sessions/

How to slice a list in Django template?

I'm doing some pagination in Django. I want to show the pages' number which are ahead of the current page. I am using the following code:
{% for page in blogs_page.paginator.page_range|slice:"0:{{ blogs_page.number }}" %}
But this seems useless; the result does the same as the following:
{% for page in blogs_page.paginator.page_range %}
The slice does not work here. How do I fix this?

Never use {{ }} inside of {% %}, don't do this {% {{ }} %}.
{% for page in blogs_page.paginator.page_range|slice:"0:blogs_page.number" %}
I think it won't work. If I were you I would create a custom tag and executed all the logic there. So, it will look like this:
Template:
{% custom_tag blogs_page as result %}
{% for page in result %}
templatetags/tags.py:
from django import template
register = template.Library()
#register.simple_tag
def custom_tag(bl_page):
return bl.page.paginator.page_range[0:bl_page.number]
Details: custom tags

Creating a custom template tag to replace the for loop - Django

I am trying to simplify my code by creating a custom template tag for a 'for loop' that use frequently on my Django web application. I thought it would be a simple straight process, but something isn't working right... I can use some assistance in catching my error.
Here is my code.
views.py
class ArticleView(DetailView):
model = Articles
def get_context_data(self, **kwargs):
context = super(ArticleView, self).get_context_data(**kwargs)
context['s_terms'] = scientific_terms.objects.all()
return context
template tag
#register.filter(name='term')
def term(value):
{% for term in s_terms %}
{{ term.short_description }}
{% endfor %}
template.html
{% Neurons|term %}
Thank you for your assistance, in advance.

You are mixing Python code with the Django Template Language. The template tags are plain Python code, as they are defined inside a Python module. A working example would be:
#register.filter(name='term')
def term(terms):
output = ''
for term in terms:
output = '{0} {1}'.format(output, term.short_description)
return output
Then you could use it like this:
{{ s_terms|term }}
Maybe what you want is simply to create a reusable Django template.
For example, create a new template named terms.html:
templates/terms.html
{% for term in terms %}
<p>{{ term.short_description }}</p>
{% endfor %}
Then, in another template, you could include this partial template:
templates/index.html (name is just an example)
{% extends 'base.html' %}
{% block content %}
<h1>My application</h1>
{% include 'terms.html' with terms=s_terms %}
{% endblock %}

simple forloop with instance tag

I want to pass data from models to template using CMS_plugins.py
I've made an app and standalone works. When i open link manualy
localhost:port/en/post_list.html all values are shown and works.
If i go on admin page and add plugin, values in mysql are stored but not presended in my template.html . I want to pass values in template.html
EDIT:
I manage to pass values to template. I edited cms_plugins.py
How can i hook data with "for" ?.
In code blow, nothing isnt shown in my template.html
<p>{{instance.firstline}}</p> ->>>this works
{ %block content %}
{{ instance.post.offer_option}}
<p>{{post.firstline}}</p>
<p>{{post.secline}}</p>
{% endfor %}
{% endblock}
if i change to :
{% for post in posts %}
<p>{{post.firstline}}</p>
<p>{{post.secline}}</p>
{% endfor %}
{% endblock}
In upper case if i run manualy url: localhost:port/en/pricing , I can see the result i want to be rendered in template.In template nothing isnt shown neither.
cms_plugins.py
class pricing(CMSPluginBase):
model = Post
name = _("pricing")
render_template = "post_list.html"
cache = False
def render(self, context, instance, placeholder):
context.update({'instance': instance})
return context
plugin_pool.register_plugin(pricing)

Display all model data inside html page

I'm trying to build a website that has products and categories.
When you are on the page of a product, you can click a button to see a list of all the categories it falls under.
You can click another button, that appears on all pages, to see a list of all the categories overall.
In the html page see_all_categories, I wrote a simple block like this:
{% extends 'base.html' %}
{% load staticfiles %}
{% block content%}
{{Category.all}}
{% endblock content %}
I expect to see a messy printout of all the categories but I don't. It doesn't return an error, but it produces nothing, other than the base.html.
What am I doing wrong?

You want to display a list of the categories. I assume your Category model owns an attribute named "title" which is the representation of your Category.
If you're using Django template engine or Jinja2, you can make a for loop inside your template like this :
{% for cat in Category.objects.all %}
{{ cat.title }}
{% endfor %}
As a troubleshooting, I'd suggest you didn't pass your Category model to your template, that is not done automatically. You have to add your model to the context before rendering the template.
As mentionned in the comments, here is doc for template rendering with Django templates.
Django Template Guide
To add your model to the context you can follow this guide.
I don't intend to help you further because I lack of information and that may vary a LOT according to your settings. (Class Based views ? Function based views ? What kind of template are you using... And so on)

I figured out the solution after many long annoying hours of trying everything. I feel dumb but I want to spare the next guy the massive pain in the two-pack.
This is what I did:
In the Views.py, I changed the view function for this page FROM this:
def view_all_categories(request):
context = {'Category' : Category}
return render(request, 'store/see_all_categories.html', context)
TO this
def view_all_categories(request):
all_cats = Category.objects.all().order_by('id')
context = {'all_categories' : all_cats}
return render(request, 'store/see_all_categories.html', context)
and in the page see_all_categories.html itself, I changed it (from the question) TO this:
{% extends 'base.html' %}
{% load staticfiles %}
{% block content%}
{% for cat in all_categories %}
<p>{{ cat.name }}</p>
{% endfor %}
{% endblock content %}
And now it works!!
