So, I have a number of objects I wish to render in a loop. I.E. Render each of the 5 latest posts on the home page. Each of these posts will be displayed differently whether or not the user is logged in.
I have a question: How would I go about making this distinction? I imagine having a template like this
{% if user.is_logged_in %}
{% for post in latest_posts %}
post.render_long_form
{% endfor %}
{% else %}
{% for post in latest_posts %}
post.render_short_form
{% endfor %}
{% endif %}
How can I make the functions render_short_form and render_long_form return the appropriate HTML snippits? I would like them to call other templates for rendering under the hood.
Thanks!
Why don't not use {% include %} tag?
{% if user.is_logged_in %}
{% for post in latest_posts %}
{% include 'long_form.html' %}
{% endfor %}
{% else %}
{% for post in latest_posts %}
{% include 'short_form.html' %}
{% endfor %}
{% endif %}
Or, more DRY version:
{% for post in latest_posts %}
{% if user.is_logged_in %}
{% include 'long_form.html' %}
{% else %}
{% include 'short_form.html' %}
{% endif %}
{% endfor %}

I've been stuck on this for a while, can't seem to fix the error. I've checked the code a hundred times but obviously there is something I'm missing. I have installed my app also.
Can anybody see what I'm missing?
views.py
def survey_details(request, id=None):
context = {}
surveys = Survey.objects.get(id=id)
context['survey'] = survey
return render(request, 'surveydetails.html', context)
feedback.urls.py
path('details/<int:id>', views.survey_details, name="surveydetails"),
surveys.html
{% extends 'main.html' %}
{% block content%}
<h1>Surveys</h1>
<h2>list of {{title}} </h2>
{% if surveys %}
<ul>
{% for survey in surveys %}
<li>
{{ survey.title }}
</li>
{% endfor %}
</ul>
{% else %}
<p>There are no surveys.</p>
{% endif %}
{% endblock %}
surveydetails.html
{% extends 'main.html' %}
{% block content%}
<h1>Surveys</h1>
<h2>Detail page</h2>
<h3>{{question.title}}</h3>
<p>Details page of {{question.title}}</p>
{% endblock %}
Here you are not passing the survey id.
{% for survey in surveys %}
<li>
{{ survey.title }}
</li>
{% endfor %}
So I am trying to render my models in a template but just one tiny thing shows more times than I expect. I just want category name to show one time for many lectures. I just cant figure where to modify the template code.
<ul>
{% for a in categories %}
{% for c in lectures %}
{% if a == c.course_category %}
<li><strong>{{ a.course_category }}</strong></li>
{% endif %}
{% if a == c.course_category %}
<li>{{ c.lecture_title }}</li>
<li>{{ c.content }}</li>
{% if c.link %}
<li>{{ c.link }}</li>
{% endif %}
{% if c.file %}
<li><a href='{{ MEDIA_URL }}{{ c.file.url }}'>download</a></li>
{% endif %}
{% endif %}
{% endfor %}
<hr/>
{% endfor %}
</ul>
You should move the {{ a.course_category }} out of the inner loop, so that you only display it once for each category.
{% for a in categories %}
<li><strong>{{ a.course_category }}</strong></li>
{% for c in lectures %}
<li>{{ lecture.lecture_title }}</li>
{% endfor %}
{% endfor %}
However, it's inefficient to loop through every lecture for every category. Depending on your models, you should be able to do something like:
{% for category in categories %}
<li><strong>{{ category.course_category }}</strong></li>
{% for lecture in category.lecture_set.all %}
<li>{{ lecture.lecture_title }}</li>
{% endfor %}
{% endfor %}
Or you might be able to loop through the lectures, and use the {% ifchanged %} tag to display the categories.
{% for lecture in lectures %}
{% ifchanged lecture.course_category %}
<li><strong>{{ lecture.course_category }}</strong></li>
{% endifchanged %}
<li>{{ lecture.lecture_title }}</li>
{% endfor %}
The core problem is that handling of wagtail RichTextField and StreamField is radically different in the templates.
I'm trying to accomplish something similar to the following:
{% with post=post.specific %}
{% if post.content_type == 'streamfield' %}
{% include_block post.body %}
{% else %}
{{ post.body|richtext }}
{% endif %}
{% endwith %}
I'm trying to show partials based on a simple condition. My condition is whether an assignment_tag is True or False.
Templatetag:
from django import template
register = template.Library()
#register.assignment_tag
def partner():
return False
Template:
{% load partner_check %}
{% if partner %}
{% block header %}
{% include 'includes/partner_header.djhtml' %}
{% endblock header %}
{% block footer %}
{% include 'includes/partner_footer.djhtml' %}
{% endblock footer %}
{% endif %}
No matter what I set partner to, the blocks still appear. What am I missing?
Firstly, that's not how assignment tags work. You have never actually called the tag; if partner refers to a (non-existent) template variable named "partner". You call an assignment tag by using it on its own along with a variable to assign it to:
{% partner as partner_value %}
{% if partner_value %}...{% endif %}
Secondly, that's not how blocks work either. You can't dynamically define blocks; they are part of the basic structure of a template, not something that is assigned during evaluation.
I accomplished this by using a context_processor (https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.7/ref/settings/#std:setting-TEMPLATE_CONTEXT_PROCESSORS)
Context Processor:
def partners(context):
return {
'partner': False
}
Template:
{% block header %}
{% if partner %}
{% include 'includes/partner_header.djhtml' %}
{% else %}
{{ block.super }}
{% endif %}
{% endblock header %}
{% block footer %}
{% if partner %}
{% include 'includes/partner_footer.djhtml' %}
{% else %}
{{ block.super }}
{% endif %}
{% endblock footer %}
I tried to make a state_template.html with
{% load inplace_edit %}
{% block extra_header %}
{% inplace_static %}
{% endblock %}
{% inplace_edit "action.action_state" %}
And tables.py has:
action_state = tables.TemplateColumn(template_name='django_tables2/state_template.html', verbose_name="State")
But since action is never being passed to the template, it is giving an error.
Does anyone have any ideas on how to make this work?
This is a very nice question :-)
I think if you update your template (state_template.html), with this should works:
{% load inplace_edit %}
{% block extra_header %}
{% inplace_static %}
{% endblock %}
{% inplace_edit "record.action_state" %}
And this is a recomendation, You should move to the template of the view that renderthe table, but this is only to efficiency:
{% block extra_header %}
{% inplace_static %}
{% endblock %}
