Specify the pages that navbar items should appear on with Bootstrap in Django-CodePudding

I am trying to specify the page that this navbar dropdown should appear on. I tried adding this line: {% if request.resolver_match.url_name == 'club_selection' %} class = "active" {% endif %} but that doesn't seem to do anything for me. Maybe I am using it wrong. If anybody knows how to do this correctly it would be a massive help.

club_selection_dropdown.html

<div  id="navbarSupportedContent">
  <ul >
    <li >
      <li {% if request.resolver_match.url_name  == 'club_selection' %} class = "active" {% endif %}>
        <a  href="/" id="club--dropdown" role="button" data-bs-toggle="dropdown" aria-expanded="false">
          Current Clubs  <span ></span>
        </a>
        <ul  aria-labelledby="club-dropdown">
          {% for club in clubs %}
            <form action = "{% url 'group_check' user.id %}" method = "post">
              {% csrf_token %}
              <input type="hidden" name="club_name" value="{{ club.club_name }}">
              <style>
                .btn:hover {
                  background-color: lightgrey;
                }
                .btn-group.special {
                  display: flex;
                }
                .special .btn {
                  flex: 1;
                }
              </style>
              <div  role="group">
                <input type = "submit" value = "{{club.club_name}}"  style=".btn-primary:hover; text-align:left; padding-left:6px">
              </div>
            </form>
          {% endfor %}
        </ul>
      </li>
    </li>
  </ul>

CodePudding user response：

You can do it like that :

{% if 'club-selection' in request.path %}{% endif %}

So if the term appears in the path of your url show the active class.

Note : Do that only if you want to set active class to a bunch of endpoint sharing the same namespace.

Else you can do that :

 {% if 'club-selection' == request.path %}{% endif %}

There is good chance that your template processor is not setup properly, so make sure you have the following in your settings.py within the template variable and inside the context_processors :

"context_processors": [
            ....
            "django.template.context_processors.request",
            ....
            ]

Relaunch your server and try again
