Showing a specific message using Django message framework

Question

I am trying to only show one message, if it exists. I tried this but it isn't working:

In view:

   messages.success(request, "some message", extra_tags="account_activated")

In template:

    {% if messages %}
        {% for message in messages %}
            {% ifequal message.tag "account_activated" %}
                <p>{{ message }}</p>
            {% endifequal %}
        {% endfor %}
    {% endif %}

If I remove {% ifequal message.tag "account_activated" %} it works.

Please help.

Answer 1

First, it's message.tags and not message.tag . Second, message.tags will contain all of the tags for the message separated by spaces, and not just the extra_tags .

For your example, message.tags should equal 'account_activated success' .

See the source code here .
