show same image multiple times, depending on the value of a variable

[Gergely Horváth]

Hi All,

I would like to show the same image multiple times on the same page. The number of times depends on the value of a variable which is different for each player. I tried to use for loop in the html, but I do not know how to convert the variable's value to an iterable list. Let say i want to show the image 3 times, then I would need a list with 0,1,2 in it. The Html does not convert the value to a list while it seems that I cannot pass lists to the template by the method vars_for_template. 

Any idea how to proceed in this case?

Best,

Gergely

You can pass lists in vars_for_template like any other value, e.g.:

return dict(my_list=[1,2,3])

Then in the template use a for-loop to display it: {% for item in my_list %} whatever {% endfor %}
