Django templates and variable attributes

Question

I\'m using Google App Engine and Django templates.
I have a table that I want to display the objects look something like:

Object Result:
    Items =          


        

Answer 1

I'm assuming that the part the doesn't work is {{ user.item }}.

Django will be trying a dictionary lookup, but using the string "item" and not the value of the item loop variable. Django did the same thing when it resolved {{ user.name }} to the name attribute of the user object, rather than looking for a variable called name.

I think you will need to do some preprocessing of the data in your view before you render it in your template.
