Question

So, I have a decimalfield that can be 3 different values. In my view, I pass in a dictionary of values that contains the appropriate decimal values as keys.

{% for item in booklist %}       {% for key, value in numvec.items %}           {{item.number}}           {% ifequals item.number {{key}} %}               {{value}}           {% endifequals %}       {% endfor %} {% endfor %} 

this is the dict I pass in as numvec:

numvec = {'TEST':Decimal('0.999'), 'TEST2':Decimal('0.500'), 

‘TEST3’:Decimal(‘0.255’)}

the number field was defined as having these choices in my model:

BOOK_CHOICES=((Decimal('0.999'), 'TEST'),(Decimal('0.500'), 'TEST2'),(Decimal('0.255'), 'TEST3'),) 

The item number prints out just fine in the view if I compare the dict with the attribute, but for some reason the ifequals cannot properly compare two decimals together. Is this a bug, or am I doing something wrong in my template with ifequals?

Answer 1

According to this, it seems you can only compare strings. I’d make my own template tag if I were you.
