Hi,
I'm a newbie and am having a an issue accessing the attribute for a
variable. I did a search (django documentation and here) and found
nothing. If this has been covered before, please direct me to the
correct thread.
I currently pass a context to my template and it works fine. For
example, I can do:
{% for s in objectlist %}
User name is: {{s.user_name}}
{% endfor %}
But, I can't do this:
User name is: {{ objectlist.0.user_name }}
What I'm trying to do is access the first user in the list and then
access the user_name attribute for that user. BTW, {{objectlist.0}}
does work.
My current solution is to return the first user (first item in the
objectlist) as part of the context like this:
return render_to_response('app/apptemplate.html",{'objectlist'}:
objectlist, 'firstobject':objectlist[0]})
However, this seems counter-intuitive. I should be able to just
explicitly grab the first item and access it's attributes in the
template.
Is there a better way? How do I do this?
Thanks,
Hani
