Return to Question

I have a dictionary with a number of characteristics:

sort_options = SortedDict([ ("importance" , ("Importance" , "warning-sign" , "importance")), ("effort" , ("Effort" , "wrench" , "effort")), ("time_estimate" , ("Time Estimate" , "time" , "time_estimate")), ]) 

I also have a list of actions as a query result. Each action has these attributes; In my template, I can call {{ action.effort }} or {{ action.time_estimate }} and get a result.

I'm iterating through my sort_options to populate twitter bootstrap icons:

{% for key, icon in sort_options.items %} <i class="icon-{{ icon.1 }}"></i> {% endfor %} 

But I also want to display the action value for each of these attributed. Essentially, something like:

{% for key, icon in sort_options.items %} <i class="icon-{{ icon.1 }}"></i> {{ action.key }} {% endfor %} 

Where key would resolve to "importance" or "effort". I know this doesn't work. So I was trying to leverage the solution presented in this question.

The solution proposed a template filter:

def hash(h,key): if key in h: return h[key] else: return None register.filter(hash) {{ user|hash:item }} 

Where the question used a dictionary that looked like so:

{'item1': 3, 'name': 'username', 'item2': 4} 

I tried the following:

{% for key, icon in sort_options.items %} <i class="icon-{{ icon.1 }}"></i> {{ action|hash:key }} {% endfor %} 

But got an error:

Caught TypeError while rendering: argument of type 'Action' is not iterable 

I believe this is because the template filter is getting just one attribute of the object (likely the name) as opposed to the whole dictionary:

[<Action: Action_one>, <Action: Task_two>...] 

Is there a way to force the template to pass the full object to the template tag?

My problem is that my object seems to be a different type of dictionary? Where the question used a dictionary that looked like so:
