If less than in template language
Hey,
I'm trying to make a template that only reveals the first four items
of a list, and then handles the rest of the list in a different
respect, ie:
for item in list
if forloop.counter < 3 {
do something
} else {
do something else
}
but I can't come up with an eloquent way to do this in the django
template language. My ideas so far are as follows:
1. sending two lists from the view file (a bad idea because this has
to be repeated for five different lists)
2. doing an
{% ifequal __ %}
{% endifequal %}
{% ifequal __something else %}
{% endifequal %}
and so on, also not a terrific idea because it would mean having
like... 20 decision structures, and whatnot.
Any ideas are greatly appreciated!
Thanks
-Robert

Check out james bennet's template-utils libarary which contains an {%
iflessthan %} template tag.

Re: If less than in template language
Looks great!
Stupid question... it's been a while since i've worked in django.
Where's a good place to physically store that document on the server?
sorry!

Django applications are normal python modules, so anywhere on your
PythonPath(it's an enviromental variable). Personally I keep a django_apps
directory that's all symlinked into my site-packages directory.

Re: If less than in template language
Sorry, but I really am relatively new to Django, and although I've
been poking around for quite a while, I still just can't get that
package to work.
When I tried to install it inside of the contrib folder, and then add
it to the 'installed applications' in the settings.py file, i kept on
getting server errors.
having 'removed' it from the installed applications, i simply tried to
add an 'ifflessthan' to my code in the templates ({% iflessthan
counter 0 })
and I got the template error. Sorry to ask you to go into such detail,
but what exactly should I do with the template_utils file on my
server?
thanks
