DRYer way to do this

[Thomas]

I am convinced that there must be a way to this in a loop in the template:

    <table class="indented">

        <tr><td>Contact :</td><td>{{ product.extendedproductfields.contact }}</td></tr>

        <tr><td>Email :  </td><td>{{ product.extendedproductfields.email }}</td></tr>

        <tr><td>Phone :  </td><td>{{ product.extendedproductfields.phone }}</td></tr>

    </table>

How can I print the 'Email', 'Phone', .. fields automatically in the table above rather than hard-code them?

Many thanks,

Thomas

Well, if contact, email, and phone were some sort of relationship instead of just a charfield/email field, you could loop through them (lets say they were a many2many to 'field'), and have a label (maybe help_text) associated with each field... but thats making it more complicated then it needs to be... it isn't breaking the DRY principle really.. these are each a unique field that need to be handled individually.. your not hardcoding them.. that's like saying you hardcoded the code of your application because code was written.

Sorry I wasn't being too clear. I would like to use the name of the field (just with the first letter capitalized) as a label. e.g. the field named 'email' would be labeled 'Email'. I just don't know how to do that.

First answer: {{ something|capfirst }} RTFM

The second is not only for template but easy.
functional example concentrated on 4 lines

./manage.py shell
from django.template import Template, Context
p = Product.objects.all()[0]
t = Template('{% for name,value in prod_dict %}{{ name|capfirst }}:
{{ value }}\n{% endfor %}')
print t.render(Context({'prod_dict': sorted(p.__dict__.items())}))
