Hi folks,
We have a Menu model which defines a nullable field called Rel. The Menu
record is persisted via the admin site, and when the Rel textbox is left
blank, Django/ MySQL saves the field as null. When a template uses that Menu
object, it's Rel property is not seen as an empty string by the following
statement:
{{% if menu_item.rel != "None" or menu_item != "" %}}
*render something*
{{% endif %}}
Could it be that the template engine sees a Python None when it encounters
the string "None"?
Note: A way around this was to make the field not nullable in MySQL,
whereupon it's saved as an empty string.
Is there a method of avoiding the behaviour where empty strings are saved as
nulls in nullable MySQL fields?
Thanks.
