if == condition does not output expected results in django template
A beginner here. Apologies if this is a very basic question.
I am working with the Django template using python. My if conditional doesn’t seem to work. Here I assumed a basic string comparison between a and be should yield "Very Happy," the second block. It doesn’t. I output to display in my browser window and the result is always "Very Frustrating." I never get "Very Happy" the 2nd block.
Here is a simplified version of my code:
a = "test4" b = "test5" {% if a == b %} <strong>Very Frustrating</strong> {% else %} <strong>Very Happy</strong> {% endif %} My actual code will have a and b be variable imports (in order to ensure only logged in users can do certain things). Like so: a = {{logged_user}} b = {{clicked_username}}
I put in the simplest test values for a and b (2 different strings) to isolate the issue for clarity. I can provide the actual code. But I figured if this doesn’t work as expected with simple strings as is, this is where the problem is.
Thank you for your time.
Preliminary we can start with checking types of the two variables
a = {{logged_user}} //(as per naming seems like it would be a User class object) b = {{clicked_username}} //(as per naming seems like it would be a string) Check There data types and if you find so then it has to be a.username getting compared with b
I would check if is there anything wrong with them. Can you put full code with variables assignments ?
