Re: [mezzanine-users] Re: Issues Getting Category
Its not showing up, because your if statement evaluates to false. It
doesn't know of ANY string "news" in the template. Thus, it'll always
evaluate to false.
I guess your issues are more of getting fundamentals with django, than has
to do with mezzanine!

That hopefully gives an idea how to fetch a category.
And remember, you wouldn't expect to find a category object or objects
if one isn't already created.

Re: [mezzanine-users] Re: Issues Getting Category
Just in case anyone had the same issue I had to call the category title
attribute.

Re: [mezzanine-users] Re: Issues Getting Category
Like I said I have tried working with tags and it doesn't work. This is
the code I had.
{% with x.categories.all as categories %}
{% if categories %}
{% for category in categories %}
{% if category == "news" %}
{{category}}
{% endif %}
{% endfor %}

[mezzanine-users] Re: Issues Getting Category
Hi, thank you it was helpful.
I have a follow up question, lets say I wanted to do a check to see if
category is == to a string, how can I do that?
I have tried using the if tag but it doesn't work.

Why not read up on Django template tags?
https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.8/ref/templates/builtins/#if
There's several examples there using both == and %ifequal, see which one
works best for you.
Seeya. Danny.
I have tried using the if tag but it doesn't work.
