Can I do something like this in the django templates ?:
firstList = ["foo", "bar"]
secondList = ["foo", "bar"]
for counter_one, _firstList in enumerate(firstList):
for counter_two, _secondList in enumerate(secondList):
if firstList[counter_one] == secondList[counter_two]:
print(firstList[counter_one])
Because if I could that would be super awesome :D
>>> from django.template import Template, Context
>>> t = Template('''
... {% for first in firstList %}
... {% for second in firstList %}
... {% if first == second %}
... {{ first }}
... {% endif %}
... {% endfor %}
... {% endfor %}
... ''')
>>> t.render(Context({'firstList': ['foo', 'bar'], 'secondList': ['foo', 'bar']}))
u'\n \n \n \n foo\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n bar\n \n \n \n'
>>> print(t.render(Context({'firstList': ['foo', 'bar'], 'secondList': ['foo', 'bar']})))
foo
bar
Use fooloop.counter0 or forloop.counter if you need an index of inner loop. (0-based, 1-based). See for template tag.
BTW, the code does not need index because the code only print elemetn of the list.
You might want to take a look at Custom template tags and filters

Also Django Book also provides a tutorial for Advanced Templating.

Its very easy to create your own template filters. I hope this helps
_firstListinstead offirstList[counter_one](same for_secondList,secondList[counter_two]) ?
