Your code looks ok, but something is obviously wrong, you'll need to
debug this to figure out what's going wrong.
Here are some quick ideas of how to go about debugging it—if at any
point something looks or works contrary to what you'd expect then try
to figure out why that's happening and you'll probably solve this
problem:
1. in your view after you declare vars, add in something like: "raise
Exception(vars)" (with DEBUG=True in your settings file) to see what
your user object is and make sure that "vars" looks ok
2. in your template - move the <h3>{{ section }}</h3> outside of the
{% if %} statement and see if it shows
3. you can put some static text next to the variable that you know
should show up on your rendered page to make sure that it's getting
rendered by the template, like: "!TEST{{ section }}TEST!"
4. look at the html source to make sure your css or js isn't hiding
stuff or doing weird things
5. make sure that your parent template "gen_temp.html" actually has a
block called "content"
6. if nothing is working, maybe even just try (as a sanity check)
rendering a template that contains nothing but "{{ section }}"
It's probably something like a typo somewhere, but you'll have to
debug this yourself. Good luck!
