Ignore HTML line in Django Template - html

I am new to Django. That's why I am a bit confused. and I am not sure is it possible or not?
{% for appoint in appoints %}
{% if appoint.a_status == 'Pending' %}
<h4>Pending</h4>
<p>{{appoint}}###Accept###Reject</p?>
{% elif appoint.a_status == 'Accept' %}
<h4>Accepted</h4>
<p>{{appoint}}###Done###Reject</p?>
{% elif appoint.a_status == 'Done' %}
<h4>Done</h4>
<p>{{appoint}}</p?>
{% else %}
<h4>Reject</h4>
<p>{{appoint}}</p?>
{% endif %}
{% endfor %}
This is part of a template. I want to ignore Django attribute/code to ignore the h4 tag. I know I can do this something by running loop for every h4 tag. but that will less efficient.

For loop in Shopify not working over number 9

I'm having an issue with a for loop in Shopify. I'm sure it used to work, but I can't get it to work over the number 9 now.
{% assign productTag1 = Availability14 %} (in this example, the product has only 1 tag, which is Availability14)
{% assign avail_stop = false %}
{% for j in (0..15) %}
{% assign check_avail = 'Availability' | append:j %}
{% if productTag1 contains check_avail %}
{% assign avail_stop = true %}
{% capture tag_name %}{{check_avail}}{% endcapture %}
{% break %}
{% endif %}
{% endfor %}
{% if avail_stop %}
{% assign availability = check_avail | remove:'Availability' | plus:0 %}
{% endif %}
At the moment, I'm returning 1, not 14. I imagine it's something to do with the fact 14 includes a 1, but I can't wrap my head around it.
Any help is appreciated.
You have a {% break %} statement in your if. Once the if becomes true it will exit the loop instantly.
If you want to skip the next code you must use {% continue %} not {% break %}.
On my mind this is an issue with conditional operator. As you said, 14 contains 1, so why not simply use strict conditional operator like this:
{% if productTag1 == check_avail %}
{% assign has_stop = true %}
{% break %}
{% endif %}
(or did I miss something?)

Jinja & Wtforms- check if html attribute has been defined

Let's say I have a form with a hundred fields. Some of them have description defined:
i.e. Sales=IntegerField('Sales', description='Annual Sales')
some of them do not:
i.e. Name=TextField('Full Name')
in Jinja, how can I check whether description has been set or not?
I've tried
{% for field in form %}
{% if field.description != None %}
<h2>{{field.description}}</h2>
{{field.label}}
{{field}}
{% endif %}
{% endfor %}
I'm trying to iterate through the fields, and create an html header to group the fields into sections.
I was also doing
{%set currDesc="nothing"%}
{%for field in form %}
{% if field.description != currDesc %}
<h2>{{field.description}}</h2>
{% set currDesc= field.description %}
{% endif %}
{% endfor %}
but it ends up creating a ton of <h2>s
upon further research, we can check whether an attribute is defined explicitly in wtforms by using an empty string comparison:
{% if field.description =! '' %}
<h2>{{field.description}}</h2>
{% endif %}

Django Multi-Conditional Statement

I have the following code working in a Django HTML template. However, it’s quite repetitive. How can this code be simplified?
It translates to, "If you're not staff, you get to see nav.html. If you are staff, you only get to see nav.html if you're on these 4 pages."
{% if not request.user.is_staff %}
{% include ‘nav.html’ %}
{% else %}
{% if request.get_full_path == ‘/one/’ %}
{% include ‘nav.html’ %}
{% if request.get_full_path == ‘/two/’ %}
{% include ‘nav.html’ %}
{% if request.get_full_path == ‘/three/’ %}
{% include ‘nav.html’ %}
{% if request.get_full_path == ‘/four/’ %}
{% include ‘nav.html’ %}
{% endif %}
{% endif %}
From your view, you can send a list containing the paths for which to show nav.html. Something like,
allowed_paths = ['/one/', '/two/', '/three/', '/fourth/']
In your template, you can simply do,
{% if not request.user.is_staff or request.get_full_path in allowed_paths %}
{% include 'nav.html' %}
{% endif %}

Nested "for" loop inside "if" condition in Liquid/Jekyll

I'm getting syntax error while trying to generate site. Do you have any ideas what can be wrong here?
Error: Liquid syntax error: Unknown tag 'elsif'
{% if page.title == "Tags" %}
{% for tag in site.tags %}
{% elsif page.title == "Categories" %}
{% for tag in site.categories %}
{% endif %}
{{ tag[0] }}
{% endfor %}
You can't start a loop conditionally like that, control blocks must be properly nested. To accomplish what you're trying to do you could do:
{% if page.title == "Tags" %}
{% assign data = site.tags %}
{% elsif page.title == "Categories" %}
{% assign data = site.categories %}
{% endif %}
{% for tag in data %}
{{ tag[0] }}
{% endfor %}
You have got it all wrong. The nested loops does not work this way.
It should start and end inside the same conditional.
if conditional
for loop
endfor
endif
something like this.
So, the correct way to do it should be this
{% if page.title == "Tags" %}
{% for tag in site.tags %}
{{ tag[0] }}
{% endfor %}
{% elsif page.title == "Categories" %}
{% for tag in site.categories %}
{{ tag[0] }}
{% endfor %}
{% endif %}
This code should do exactly what you want correctly but there is a better approach as answered by JJJ

What does capturing a liquid variable then assigning to nil do?

Jekyll bootstrap includes the file _includes/JB/setup:
{% capture jbcache %}
<!--
- Dynamically set liquid variables for working with URLs/paths
-->
{% if site.JB.setup.provider == "custom" %}
{% include custom/setup %}
{% else %}
{% if site.safe and site.JB.BASE_PATH and site.JB.BASE_PATH != '' %}
{% assign BASE_PATH = site.JB.BASE_PATH %}
{% assign HOME_PATH = site.JB.BASE_PATH %}
{% else %}
{% assign BASE_PATH = nil %}
{% assign HOME_PATH = "/" %}
{% endif %}
{% if site.JB.ASSET_PATH %}
{% assign ASSET_PATH = site.JB.ASSET_PATH %}
{% else %}
{% capture ASSET_PATH %}{{ BASE_PATH }}/assets/themes/{{ page.theme.name }}{% endcapture %}
{% endif %}
{% endif %}
{% endcapture %}{% assign jbcache = nil %}
I understand that this 1) captures the text as a variable then 2) assigns it to nil immediately, effectively throwing it away. So what does this do?
Because you want the side-effects of rendering but don't want the rendered output. If you don't capture, the rendered content is output. But you don't actually want the output, so you throw it away when you're done. It's a slight hack.
So if you want to compute without outputting the result, capturing in a variable is a reasonable thing to do. The "then assign to nil" hack is a way of saying we are interested in the side-effects of the rendering computation, not the output. Those other assignments persist have effects that persist even when the variable is thrown out.
The {%include custom/setup %}'s output will similarly be thrown away, but its side-effects may be important.
