I am using Django for a project.

I need to be able to pull out the possible categories available.

{% for category in article.categories.all %}
   {{ category.name }} {% if not forloop.last %}, {% endif %}
{% endfor %}

so I can use this on an article page to see what category it is associated with. But how do I pull out the available categories to show as a list.

Not sure what you mean? The articles have been assigned catergories -- that snippet of code I've shown - lists the catergories associated with a particular article.. but I want to display ALL available catergory options – The Old County Jul 07 '16 at 22:51
I would be expecting something like.. {% for category in categories.all %} {{ category.name }} {% if not forloop.last %}, {% endif %} {% endfor %} --- lists ALL possible catergories any article could have – The Old County Jul 07 '16 at 22:53
When I put this on the template -- {{Category.objects.all}} -- nothing is rendered? – The Old County Jul 07 '16 at 22:55
I would have thought it be possible to pick it up from some variable floating around in the view. -- Not too sure where to do this or push it back into the template – The Old County Jul 07 '16 at 22:57

Where did you find this piece of code? – MadPhysicist Sep 25 '17 at 16:35
I can't remember now man - a mixture of what was on the github module – The Old County Sep 25 '17 at 23:57
Have you ever tried displaying Tags? Your code helped me with Categories but i have yet to get the tags to display. – MadPhysicist Sep 26 '17 at 00:46
I can't remember now - but I think part of the bug was to include some part of the tag code - I think this is where I tried to get access to the tags – The Old County Sep 26 '17 at 14:32
