Question

I have a model which allows users to upload an .ics file to a calender field via the FileField.

However this is not required so some objects will have associated files, other will not. In my template I want to output different things depending on this. I thought this would work…

My view passes a all the model objects in a seminarData variable..

{% for seminars in seminarData %}
    {% if seminars.calender %}

        {{seminars.title}}
        {{seminars.message}}
        <a href="{{seminars.calendar.url}}"> Download .ICS File</a>

    {% else %}
        {{seminars.title}}
        {{seminars.message}}

    {% endif %}
{% endfor %}

But this doesn’t seem to work… Everything just goes straight to the else section even those objects with associated files in the calender field.

Could it becasue in my model I have

calendar = models.FileField(upload_to="/uploadedCal/", blank=True)

And I need to have null=True or something?

I played around inequality operators aswell with no luck… Thanks

Edit: I think the solution would be pretty straightforward I just can’t see it annoyingly!

Answer 1

Calendar is spelt incorrectly in your if statement 😉
