Hi all,
I've attempted a shortcut in an {% ifequal %} tag and ran into some
unexpected consequences. Basically, I have two DateFields in a model
named begin_date and end_date. I am iterating through field names
({{ f }}) and their corresponding values ({{ item|getattr:f }}) to
populate a webpage. I want to catch these date-related field names to
apply different formatting using the "date" filter.
What worked:
{% ifequal f 'begin_date' %}
blah blah blah
{% else %}{% ifequal f 'end_date' %}
blah blah blah
{% endifequal %}{% endifequal %}
What didn't work:
{% ifequal f|slice:"-4:" 'date' %} blah blah blah {% endifequal
%} (matches no fields)
nor {% ifequal f|slice:"-4:" u'date' %} blah blah blah {% endifequal
%} (matches all fields)
nor {% ifequal f|slice:"-4:" date %} blah blah blah {% endifequal
%} (matches all fields)
I would imagine the "slice" filter returns a string, which is why I'm
perplexed the 'date' string didn't match. I'm probably missing some
nuance involving unicode string formatting, etc.
