Question

I don’t know a lot about Django or Python, but I know it’s problematic using a simple for loop in a template.

I’m wanting to do the following and wondering my options are – is there a simple way to do this in the template?

{% for image in my_images %}  //only loop through 1-10

Then:

{% for image in my_images %}  //only loop through 10-20

Thanks,

If my_images is a list, you are looking for the slice filter:

{{ some_list|slice:":2" }}

If some_list is ['a', 'b', 'c'], the output will be ['a', 'b'].

Of course, on an optimization note, it would generally be better to do this at a view level by not fetching more records than you need.
