I'm trying to access a value from a dictionary using a variable, all in an HTML file that follows Django's Templating language. Django's templating language doesn't let you access a dictionary using a variable as a key, so I decided to use Django filters to do it. However, I am getting a "Invalid filter" error and I can't figure out why.
My html file
<table class="table">
<tbody>
<tr>
<th scope="row">Username</th>
<th scope="row">Full Name</th>
<th scope="row">Points</th>
{% for subject in subjects %}
<th scope="row">{{ subject }}</th>
{% endfor %}
</tr>
{% for user in users %}
<tr>
<td>
<a href="{% url 'profile' username=user.username %}">{{ user.username }}</a>
</td>
<td>{{ user.first_name }} {{ user.last_name }}</td>
<td>{{ user.profile.points.total }}</td>
{% for subject in subjects %}
<td>{{ user.profile.points|keyvalue:subject }}</td>
{% endfor %}
</tr>
{% endfor %}
</tbody>
My filter.py
from django import template
register = template.Library()
@register.filter
def keyvalue(dict, key):
return dict[key]
My error message
TemplateSyntaxError at /leaderboard/
Invalid filter: 'keyvalue'
Thank you for any help :D
EDIT: Pasting my views.py and urls.pu as requested
views.py
def leaderboard(request):
global leaderboard_public
users = sorted(User.objects.all(), key=lambda t: t.profile.points['total'], reverse=True)
if request.method == "POST":
leaderboard_public = not leaderboard_public
return redirect(leaderboard)
subjects = list(Subject.objects.values('subject_name'))
subjects = [i['subject_name'] for i in subjects]
print(subjects)
return render(request, "leaderboard.html", {
"users": users,
"subjects": subjects,
# "leaderboard_public": leaderboard_public,
})
urls.py
from accounts import views as accountsViews
from puzzles import views as puzzlesViews
urlpatterns = [
url(r'^admin/', admin.site.urls),
url(r'^signup/$', accountsViews.signup_without_email, name="signup"),
url(r'^activate/(?P<uidb64>[0-9A-Za-z_\-]+)/(?P<token>[0-9A-Za-z]{1,13}-[0-9A-Za-z]{1,20})/$',

# url(r'^$', views.home, name="home"),
url(r'^$', puzzlesViews.puzzles, name="puzzles"),
] + static(settings.STATIC_URL, document_root=settings.STATIC_ROOT)
Let me know if there's any other information needed.
I tried {% load crispy_forms_filters %} and it worked for me!
