Hi,
I want to use {% elif %}
my template:
{% if bookmark.hours %}
{{ bookmark.hours }} hours ago
{% elif bookmark.days %}
{{ bookmark.days }} days ago
{% elif bookmark.months %}
{{ bookmark.months }} months ago
{% else %}
{{ bookmark.years }} years ago
{% endif %}

show error:
Invalid block tag: 'elif', expected 'else' or 'endif'

It can work without elif, if use if...else loop.

my django version is 1.31

how to solve this?
thanks!!

The {% elif %} tag was only recently added to Django; it will be
available in the 1.4 release. Django 1.3 and earlier does not, and
will not ever contain the {% elif %} tag.

You can either develop your site against Django's trunk in the hope
that Django will release 1.4 before you need to roll out your site, or
modify your template to use nested {% if %} statements.

Yours,
Russ Magee %-)

Or back port the elif tag (which may or may not be non trivial).

There's no {% elif %}. You'll have to do:

{% if bookmark.hours %}
{{bookmark.hours}} hours ago

{% else %}
   {% if bookmark.days %}
   {{ bookmark.days }} days ago
   {% else %}
      {% if bookmark.months %}

      {{ bookmark.months }} months ago
      {% else %}
       {{ bookmark.years }} years ago
      {% endif %}

{% endif %}
{%endif}

(Sorry if I missed any closing {%endif%} - you'll have to balance those). Also, I'd suggest you to do this logic part in the view itself.

Thank you all!

I don't see the line
"New in Django Development version."

Go to this link

https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/ref/templates/builtins/

{% if athlete_list %}

    Number of athletes: {{ athlete_list|length }}
{% elif athlete_in_locker_room_list %}

    Athletes should be out of the locker room soon!
{% else %}
    No athletes.
{% endif %}


press CLTR + F and type elif you will reach there
