Reverse not found problem

[Metin AKIN]

Hello, I'm new to django. I have faced with this problem and couldn't find an answer to my problem. I zip 2 lists and I want to iterate them simultaneously.

I get this error

Reverse for '{{newspaper}}' not found. '{{newspaper}}' is not a valid view function or pattern name.

my html file

{% extends "index-template.html" %}

{% block content %}
{% load staticfiles %}
{% for newspaper, newspaper_name in mylist %}
<li class="col-xs-12 col-sm-6 col-md-4 col-lg-4">
    <div class="box nop">
        <div class="bar"> <img src="{% static "/icons/{{newspaper}}.png" %}".......
{% endfor %}
{% endblock %}

my index fuction in views.py

def index(request):
    newspapers = ["BBC", "Guardian"]

    newspaper_names = ["BBC News", "The Guardian"]
    mylist = zip(newspapers, newspaper_names)

    return render(request, "index.html", {"currentdate": getcurrentdate(), "mylist": mylist})

I think you can not render variable in a template tag, so:

{% static "/icons/{{newspaper}}.png" %}

maybe should be

{% static "/icons/" %}{{newspaper}}.png

[Andréas Kühne]

This doesn't make sense at all - if you want a variable in the static call you need to do something like this:

{% with 'icons/'|add:newspaper|add:'.png' as image_static %}
  {% static image_static %}
{% endwith %}

The reason for not just adding it to the end is because you could have md5 hashes in your static file as well. So therefore this is the best way to do it.

Regards,

Andréas
