Navigation in django

Question

I\'ve just done my first little webapp in django and I love it. I\'m about to start on converting an old production PHP site into django and as part its template, there is a

I have multiple menus on the same page that are created dynamically through a loop. The posts above relating to the context gave me a quick fix. Hope this helps somebody. (I use this in addition to the active template tag - my fix solves the dynamic issue). It seems like a silly comparison, but it works. I chose to name the variables active_something-unique and something-unique, this way it works with nested menus.

Here is a portion of the view (enough to understand what i am doing):

def project_list(request, catslug):
    "render the category detail page"
    category = get_object_or_404(Category, slug=catslug, site__id__exact=settings.SITE_ID)
    context = {
        'active_category': 
            category,
        'category': 
            category,
        'category_list': 
            Category.objects.filter(site__id__exact=settings.SITE_ID),

    }

And this is from the template:

  {% for category in category_list %}
    

      {{ category.cat }}
    
  {% endfor %}
