Navigation in django

by

You do not need an if to do that, have a look at the following code:

tags.py

@register.simple_tag
def active(request, pattern):
    import re
    if re.search(pattern, request.path):
        return 'active'
    return ''

urls.py

urlpatterns += patterns('',
    (r'/$', view_home_method, 'home_url_name'),
    (r'/services/$', view_services_method, 'services_url_name'),
    (r'/contact/$', view_contact_method, 'contact_url_name'),
)

base.html

{% load tags %}

{% url 'home_url_name' as home %}
{% url 'services_url_name' as services %}
{% url 'contact_url_name' as contact %}

<div id="navigation">
    <a class="{% active request home %}" href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/340888/{{ home }}">Home</a>
    <a class="{% active request services %}" href="{{ services }}">Services</a>
    <a class="{% active request contact %}" href="{{ contact }}">Contact</a>
</div>

that’s it.
