I want to use a Django forloop.counter like this:
{% for i in "xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx" %}
{{ i.time_code{{forloop.counter}} }}
{% endfor %}
Turns out, it's not possible to do that.
Reason to accomplish this. I have 20 database coloumns like: time_code1, time_code2 ....time_code20. So, instead of calling each separately I want to do this.
I've used at in a similar way. Here is the example, don't know if it will help.
<form action= "{% url 'result_show' forloop.counter0 %}" method="post">
What it does is accepts the output of forloop.counter0 as a parameter of a method in view. And it works that way.
Have you considered migrating the time_codes to a list and than accessing them via forloop.counter?
I'm not sure whether I understand your question correctly. Do you want to retrieve attributes dynamically? You could write a custom tag:
from django.template import Library
register = Library()
@register.simple_tag
def get_attr(obj, name, default=None):
return getattr(obj, str(name), default)
then you can pass the list of attributes to your template:
attrs = ( "time_code"+str(i) for i in xrange(0, 100) )
return render_to_response("test.html", { "attrs": attrs })
and finally in your template:
{% for attr in attrs %}
{% get_attr i attr %}
{% endfor %}
