Django Messages, How to Hide Specific Ones

Question

I am using Django's messages framework to indicate successful actions and failed actions.

How can I exclude account sign in and sign out messages? Currently, landing on a page after signing in displays Successfully signed in as 'username'. I do not want this message to be displayed, but all other success messages should be displayed. What I attempted is shown below. I tried using logic to find if the message had the word "signed" in it. If it did, do not display it. That however is not working though.

{% if messages %}

 <div class="db-section">
      <ul class="messages">
        {% for message in messages %}

          {% if "signed" in message %} 
            # Don't display anything
          {% else %}

          <div class="alert alert-error">

          <strong style="color:{% if 'success' in message.tags %}green{% else %} red {% endif %};padding-bottom:10px;">{{ message }}</strong>

          </div>

          {% endif %}

        {% endfor %}
      </ul>
  </div>

{% endif %}

Could someone possibly explain why the above code is still displaying messages that even contain "signed" in it?

Are you using the Jinja2 or the Django Template Language to your HTML templates? — nik_m, Jul 21 '17 at 06:05

Use safe filter to convert that message object attribute to actual string and compare

--- Your code ---
{% if "signed" in message|safe %} 
  # Don't display anything
{% else %}
--- Your remaining code ---
