[django] Django -- Template tag in {% if %} block

I have the following dictionary passed to a render function, with sources being a list of strings and title being a string potentially equal to one of the strings in sources:

{'title':title, 'sources':sources})

In the HTML template I'd like to accomplish something among the lines of the following:

{% for source in sources %}
  <tr>
    <td>{{ source }}</td>
    <td>
      {% if title == {{ source }} %}
        Just now!
      {% endif %}
    </td>
  </tr>
{% endfor %}

However, the following block of text results in an error:

TemplateSyntaxError at /admin/start/
Could not parse the remainder: '{{' from '{{'

...with {% if title == {{ source }} %} being highlighted in red.

The answer is


{% for source in sources %}
  <tr>
    <td>{{ source }}</td>
    <td>
      {% ifequal title source %}
        Just now!
      {% endifequal %}
    </td>
  </tr>
{% endfor %}

                or


{% for source in sources %}
      <tr>
        <td>{{ source }}</td>
        <td>
          {% if title == source %}
            Just now!
          {% endif %}
        </td>
      </tr>
    {% endfor %}

See Django Doc


Sorry for comment in an old post but if you want to use an else if statement this will help you

{% if title == source %}
    Do This
{% elif title == value %}
    Do This
{% else %}
    Do This
{% endif %}

For more info see Django Documentation


You try this.

I have already tried it in my django template.

It will work fine. Just remove the curly braces pair {{ and }} from {{source}}.

I have also added <table> tag and that's it.

After modification your code will look something like below.

{% for source in sources %}
   <table>
      <tr>
          <td>{{ source }}</td>
          <td>
              {% if title == source %}
                Just now! 
              {% endif %}
          </td>
      </tr>
   </table>
{% endfor %}

My dictionary looks like below,

{'title':"Rishikesh", 'sources':["Hemkesh", "Malinikesh", "Rishikesh", "Sandeep", "Darshan", "Veeru", "Shwetabh"]}

and OUTPUT looked like below once my template got rendered.

Hemkesh 
Malinikesh  
Rishikesh   Just now!
Sandeep 
Darshan 
Veeru   
Shwetabh
