Issue in Django count string in a template

[Ronaldo Bahia]

I am facing issues trying to get a count. Hope you can help me.

In the template, if I insert {{ message.count }} not happens 'coz message is a string. If I insert {% load inbox %} {% inbox_count as message %} it returns all unread messages, but I need to get the unread messages sent by a given user, in my case, a candidate to a job position.

How can I do it?

Here is the thread:

Thanx,

I presume that your messages are model instances.  If so, create a queryset for the unread messages in your view, and pass that, or the result of applying .count() to it, as a template context variable, say "unread_message_count".
