That would be my guess. I presume that item.id is an int, so it's
likely that you're passing berufe_id as a string. All the stuff that
comes from the GET or POST attributes or request, and any
arguments garnered by the url pattern are strings. If you're not
converting it yourself, berufe_id will be a string, and:
>>> 1 == '1'
False
>>>
Do you have a view function, or are you fitting this into a generic
view somehow?
Too bad that there doesn't seem to be a filter to invoke the int constructor,
or a string method that does it. You could add a method to your model
that returns id as a string, then
...{% ifequal item.id_as_string berufe_id %}...
