Displaying ManyToManyField in django template - django

Question

I've been trying to display the exact values of model with ManyToMany relation but I just couldn't, all what I've achevied is receiving QuerySet
<QuerySet [<Stack: PHP>, <Stack: js>]>
by adding to template tags
{{ brand.technologies.all }}
But I would like to receive and display 2 fields, name and icon. I've tried with some loops like
{% for brand in brands %}
{% for technologies in brand.technologies.all %} {{ technologies.name }} {{ technologies.icon }} {% endfor %}
{% endfor %}
but it doesn't give any results. There is not problem with syntax because page is displaying and looks like this
image
models.py
STACK = (
('PHP', 'PHP'),
('js', 'JavaScript'),
...
)
STACK_ICONS = (
('/static/icons/stack/php.png', 'PHP'),
('/static/icons/stack/javascript.png', 'JavaScript'),
...
)
class Company(models.Model):
name = models.CharField(max_length=100, blank=False)
students = models.CharField(max_length=3, choices=STUDENTS)
type = models.CharField(max_length=15, choices=TYPES)
workers = models.PositiveIntegerField(validators=[MinValueValidator(1)])
city = models.CharField(max_length=15,choices=CITIES)
company_about = models.TextField(max_length=500, blank=False)
slug = models.SlugField(unique=True)
icon = models.ImageField(blank=True, null=True)
image = models.ImageField(blank=True, null=True)
logo = models.ImageField(blank=True, null=True)
technologies = models.ManyToManyField('Stack')
def save(self, *args, **kwargs):
self.slug = slugify(self.name)
super(Company, self).save(*args, **kwargs)
def publish(self):
self.published_date = timezone.now()
self.save()
def __str__(self):
return self.name
# object stack relation manytomany with Company
class Stack(models.Model):
name = models.CharField(max_length=30, choices=STACK)
icon = models.CharField(max_length=80, choices=STACK_ICONS)

Answer 1

I don't understand why you've suddenly added an outer loop through brands. You don't have anything called brands, and you're successfully accessing all the other data via brand. Just continue to do so, and drop the outer loop.
<div class="technologies-wrapper">
{% for technologies in brand.technologies.all %} {{ technologies.name }} {% endfor %}
</div>
