Now, below are the two ways that I tried to get the data-output to the web-page through but the first one returns nothing and the second one returns the database value of the choice, rather than the text that the user selected. I want the user to see Mr. or Mrs. or Ms. or Mast. and not 0/1/2/3. What is wrong here?
template:
1
{% for rp in report %}
<td class="design">{% if rp.title == 0 %} Mr. {% elif rp.title == 1 %} Mrs. {% elif rp.title == 2 %} Ms. {% elif rp.title == 3 %} Mast. {% endif %}</td>
{% endfor %}
2
{% for rp in report %}
<td class="design">{{rp.title}}</td>
{% endfor %}
The first solution does not work because title is a str and you are comparing it with integers. Below will work:
{% for rp in report %}
<p>
{% if rp.title == '0' %}
Mr.
{% elif rp.title == '1' %}
Mrs.
{% elif rp.title == '2' %}
Ms.
{% elif rp.title == '3' %}
Mast.
{% endif %}
</p>
{% endfor %}
A better solution is to create a template tag.
# templatetags/report_tags.py
from django import template
register = template.Library()
titles = {
'0': 'Mr.',
'1': 'Mrs.',
'2': 'Ms.',
'3': 'Mast.',
}
@register.simple_tag
def person_title(title):
return titles.get(title)
And inside your template:
{% load report_tags %}
{% for rp in report %}
<td class="design">
{% person_title rp.title %}
</td>
{% endfor %}
Much cleaner!
