Question

I have a list of sections that I pass to a Django template. The sections have different types. I want to say \"if there is a section of this type, display this line\" in my

Answer 1

{% if sections.0.name == "Social" %}
    Hello Social!
{% endif %}

Answer 2

Ideally what you would do is create a list that the template gets as such:

l = [s.name for s in sections]

And in the template, use:

{% if 'Social' in l %}

You're trying to put more logic into a template than they are meant to have. Templates should use as little logic as possible, while the logic should be in the code that fills the template.

Answer 3

You can't use list comprehensions in templates:

{% for s in sections %}
  {% if s.name == 'Social' %}
    Hello Social!
  {% endif %} {# closing if body #}
{% endfor %} {# closing for body #}
