What is the difference between Django's built-in include tag and custom inclusion tags ? I have read the documentation, and both seem to to achieve the same goal: render a template passing it a context or variable. They serve different purposes. The include tag simply includes the content from an existing template in its entirety and unmodified. A custom inclusion tag passes the context to a function which can contain logic to manipulate the context before passing it to a template. For example, perhaps I have a panel that will be shown on multiple pages. The panel's template requires a few

I have the following template in template/admin/change_form.html : {% extends "admin/change_form.html" %} {% block extrahead %} {% include "dojango/base.html" %} {% block dojango_content %} {% endblock %} {% endblock %} However for some reason it throws a TemplatesyntaxError: TemplateSyntaxError at /admin/cms/post/add/ Caught RuntimeError while rendering: maximum recursion depth exceeded while calling a Python object I know it's late, but...

Hi I have a list of two dictionaries I am passing to a Django template: base_parts = [ {'important item': 43}, {'lesser item': 22, 'lesser item': 3, 'lesser item': 45} ] in my template I can do this: {% for base_part in base_parts %} {% for k, v in base_part.items %} {# ...do stuff #} {# I try to get a running total of items to use as an ID #} inner ID: {% forloop.counter0 %}< br/> outer ID: {% forloop.parentloop.counter0 %}< br/> {% endfor %} {% endfor %} As you can see, what I want is a running total of the total number of items I have iterated through, but both methods I have included

I have a ChoiceField in a bound form, whose choices are: [('all', 'All users'), ('group', 'Selected groups'), ('none', 'None')] In the template, I have no problem accessing its bound value (the actual value to be stored; the first element of each tuple) and the choices. With these pieces of info in hands, I know I should be able to access the display values, or the second element of each tuple. But how can I do that in the template? Thanks. bmihelac I doubt that it can be done without custom template tag or filter. Custom template filter could look: @register.filter def selected_choice(form,

I am trying to write a Bootstrap Form with Django ModelForm. I have read the Django Documentation Django Documentation about Forms , so I have this code: <div class="form-group"> {{ form.subject.errors }} <label for="{{ form.subject.id_for_label }}">Email subject:</label> {{ form.subject }}</div> The {{form.subject}} is rendered by Django, for example in CharField field model, as input tag, <input type="text"....> etc. I need add "form-control" class to every input in order to get Bootstrap input appearance (without third-party packages). I found this solution Django add class to form field .

I use request.path to obtain the current URL. For example if the current URL is "/test/foo/baz" I want to know if it starts with a string sequence, let's say /test. If I try to use: {% if request.path.startswith('/test') %} Test {% endif %} I get an error saying that it could not parse the remainder of the expression: Could not parse the remainder: '('/test')' from 'request.path.startswith('/test')' Request Method: GET Request URL: http://localhost:8021/test/foo/baz/ Exception Type: TemplateSyntaxError Exception Value: Could not parse the remainder: '('/test')' from 'request.path.startswith('
