if statement with url

[Daxal]

Hey,

I wanted to use a if statement with a url like ...

if you are on "/cm/add/"
......
endif
.
option 1:
I was wondering if anyone knows how to code that statement. if can
compare string variables like {% ifequal somevariable url %} where
"url" can be hard coded like "/cm/add" and somevariable would have to
store the url which i think is too complex.

option 2:
some if statement that directly compares the url like {% if {url} == "/
cm/add/" %}

any thoughts and ideas guys?

Thank you for all your replies. :)

maybe try request.path?

Just pop this into your template:

{% url Path.to.a.view.for.this.template as the_url %}
# you are importing a view's url structure right here and then storing
it as "the_url". Since you're not looking for anything dynamic we can
end that definition here (more here http://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/ref/templates/builtins/#url)
then
{% ifequal the_url "/the/url/to/check" %} pretty self explanatory
this is the result if that is true
{% endifequal %}

It might be a good idea to check this before adding any conditional
statement:


{% url Path.to.a.view.for.this.template as the_url %}
{{ the_url }} should output the relative URL (django calls relative
paths absolute paths for some reason)
