django-templates

I just started a new development server for a website I am working on and I can't seem to get the Django development server to serve the static files I have for CSS and other things. The CSS for the admin site loads fine. I am running it in a virtualenv sandbox. In settings.py I've messed around with MEDIA_ROOT and MEDIA_URL. So far for MEDIA_ROOT I've tried. MEDIA_ROOT = '/home/wluw/wluw/wluw/media' and MEDIA_ROOT = os.path.join(os.path.dirname(__file__), 'media') I changed my ADMIN_MEDIA_PREFIX to ADMIN_MEDIA_PREFIX = '/admin_media/' my MEDIA_URL looks like this MEDIA_URL = '/media/' and the

I'm trying to create a form variable. As default Player have the level 0 and he can just change is name. Later when he is level 1, he can change is name and is avatar. When he is level 3, he can change is name, is avatar and is job. Etc... Models.py: class Player(models.Model): level = models.SmallIntegerField(default=0) name = models.CharField(max_length=50) avatar = models.URLField(default='http://default-picture.com/01.png') job = models.TextField(null=True) Fomrs.py: class ProfileForm(forms.ModelForm): class Meta: model = Player fields = ['name', 'avatar', 'job'] widgets = { 'name': forms

Is there a way to give a form a special error rendering function in the form definition? In the docs under customizing-the-error-list-format it shows how you can give a form a special error rendering function, but it seems like you have to declare it when you instantiate the form, not when you define it. So you can define some ErrorList class like: from django.forms.util import ErrorList class DivErrorList(ErrorList): def __unicode__(self): return self.as_divs() def as_divs(self): if not self: return u'' return u'<div class="errorlist">%s</div>' % ''.join([u'<div class="error">%s</div>' % e

I am trying to use Django in built templatetags like markup and humanize in my google app , but its not working. I added markup and humanize in the INSTALLED_APPS. Still not working. How to use that? Here is how to do it for humanize, others should be similar. At the end of the controller that invokes your template there is a function that looks like: def main(): run_wsgi_app(application) Add the following two lines just after def main(): from google.appengine.ext.webapp import template template.register_template_library( 'django.contrib.humanize.templatetags.humanize') No need to add {% load

Perhaps this is a non-question, but how do you make use of the Django {% cycle %} functionality, or something similar, when you're not in a loop? Specifically, I have an HTML table that I'm writing by hand, since it's not the sort of thing you need to do in a loop. I want the rows to alternate, like this: <tr class="{% cycle 'even' 'odd'%}"></tr> <tr class="{% cycle 'even' 'odd'%}"></tr> <tr class="{% cycle 'even' 'odd'%}"></tr> But I'm not using a loop, so this always results in even . I don't want a situation where I want to insert one row later, and then have to change the classes of all

Well i don't find the answer I'm sure that it's very simple, but i just don't find out how to make it work like Django when it doesn't find a variable i tried to use Undefined and create my own undefined but it give me problems of attribute error etc. def silently(*args, **kwargs): return u'' class UndefinedSilently(Undefined): __unicode__ = silently __str__ = silently __call__ = silently __getattr__ = silently but when i try this here it fails TypeError: 'unicode' object is not callable : {%for dir_name, links in menu_links.items()%} You are trying to go arbitrarily deep into your undefined

I understand that request.path will give me the current URL. I am currently working on my base.html template with CSS tabs and I want the template to know which tab is currently "active" and pass class="active-tab" to an <a> tag. So I wanted to do something like <a href="{% url orders_list %}" {% if request.path = reverse('orders_list') %} class="active-tab" {$ endif %} >Orders</a> But I'm sure you can't do that if comparison. I also only want the base (?) URL ignoring any GET parameters. Any suggestions or tips also welcomed. Thanks in advance! You can use a custom template tag from django
