Are you not passing it back as dname instead of docname. I am not the most experienced Django dev either but this section caught my eye.

 def document(request, docname):
        doc = Documents.objects.get(docname = docname)
        context = {
            "document":dname
        }
        return render(request, "landings/document.html", context)

What is dname?
