you forgot the ":" on the else and pass on the if. index var not exist, was my example, you need get the index of the iteration, may be with news.index(post) or using enumerate. Try this two example:
<div id="carousel-example-generic" class="carousel slide"> <ol class="carousel-indicators"> <li data-target="#carousel-example-captions" data-slide-to="0" class="active"></li> <li data-target="#carousel-example-captions" data-slide-to="1"></li> <li data-target="#carousel-example-captions" data-slide-to="2"></li> </ol> <div class="carousel-inner"> {{for index, post in enumerate(news):}} {{if index==0:}} <div class="active item"><img src="{{=URL('static','images/carousel/%s' %(post.image))}}" alt="banner1" /> <h3>{{=post.title}}</h3> <p class="text-center">{{=post.post}}</p> <p class="text-right">{{=post.created_on}}</p> </div> {{pass}} {{else:}} <div class="item"><img src="{{=URL('static','images/carousel/%s' %(post.image))}}" alt="banner2" /></div> {{pass}} {{pass}} </div> <a class="cglyphicon glyphicon-chevron-left" href="#carousel-example-generic" data-slide="prev">‹</a> <a class="glyphicon glyphicon-chevron-right" href="#carousel-example-generic" data-slide="next">›</a> </div> </div> or: <div id="carousel-example-generic" class="carousel slide"> <ol class="carousel-indicators"> <li data-target="#carousel-example-captions" data-slide-to="0" class="active"></li> <li data-target="#carousel-example-captions" data-slide-to="1"></li> <li data-target="#carousel-example-captions" data-slide-to="2"></li> </ol> <div class="carousel-inner"> {{for post in news:}} {{if news.index(post)==0:}} <div class="active item"><img src="{{=URL('static','images/carousel/%s' %(post.image))}}" alt="banner1" /> <h3>{{=post.title}}</h3> <p class="text-center">{{=post.post}}</p> <p class="text-right">{{=post.created_on}}</p> </div> {{pass}} {{else:}} <div class="item"><img src="{{=URL('static','images/carousel/%s' %(post.image))}}" alt="banner2" /></div> {{pass}} {{pass}} </div> <a class="cglyphicon glyphicon-chevron-left" href="#carousel-example-generic" data-slide="prev">‹</a> <a class="glyphicon glyphicon-chevron-right" href="#carousel-example-generic" data-slide="next">›</a> </div> </div> Is an example, this was not tested 2013/8/7 Hugo Costa <hugonco...@gmail.com> > Hey Roberto! > > So, I've used your code and this turned out: > > *index.html* > * > * > <div id="carousel-example-generic" class="carousel slide"> > > <ol class="carousel-indicators"> > <li data-target="#carousel-example-captions" data-slide-to="0" > class="active"></li> > <li data-target="#carousel-example-captions" > data-slide-to="1"></li> > <li data-target="#carousel-example-captions" > data-slide-to="2"></li> > </ol> > <div class="carousel-inner"> > {{for post in news:}} > {{if index==0:}} > <div class="active item"><img > src="{{=URL('static','images/carousel/%s' %(post.image))}}" alt="banner1" > /> > <h3>{{=post.title}}</h3> > <p class="text-center">{{=post.post}}</p> > <p class="text-right">{{=post.created_on}}</p> > </div> > {{else}} > <div class="item"><img > src="{{=URL('static','images/carousel/%s' %(post.image))}}" alt="banner2" > /></div> > {{pass}} > {{pass}} > </div> > <a class="cglyphicon glyphicon-chevron-left" > href="#carousel-example-generic" data-slide="prev">‹</a> > <a class="glyphicon glyphicon-chevron-right" > href="#carousel-example-generic" data-slide="next">›</a> > </div> > </div> > > > I don't understand why, but I'm getting this error: > > <type 'exceptions.SyntaxError'> invalid syntax (index.html, line 70) > > What could it be?
