I am trying change the active selection of my navigation links based on the current page where the user is at. I am trying to do omething like this: <li {% if request.get_full_path == {% url profile_edit_personal %} %}class="current"{% endif %}><a href="{% url profile_edit_personal %}">Personal Details</a></li> Alternatively, I know I could define do something like this: <li class="{% block current %}{% endblock %}"><a href="{% url profile_edit_personal %}">Personal Details</a></li> and add a {% block current %}current{% endblock %} to each of the relevant templates but I would prefer

I try to smuggle HTML template in the HTML for mustache.js, however the django template engine remove all the placeholders that should be output as-is to the front-end The template is included in HTML in this way: <script type="text/x-mustache-template" data-id="header_user_info"> <div id="header_user_info"> <div id="notification">0</div> <a href="#">{{username}}</a> </div> </script> and I can get the HTML template by running $(el).html(), and generate html by using Mustache.to_html(temp, data); I could put all the template into another static file and serve from CDN, but then it would be hard

I'm trying to migrate an old django application to django 1.5, There are 745 urls in different html files as this way: {% url url_name %} If I'm not wrong, this was deprecated and can't be used anymore from django 1.5 (as said here ), and I have to transform all of them into: {% url 'url_name' %} Any idea to do this without going crazy? Maybe, some kind of script, I dont know... I can't imagine a way to do it with replace in path. I'm probably missing something obvious. NOTE: This command is destructive. Use version control or backup your templates directory before running it. You can use sed.

In django templates, it's common to do the following: <img src="{{ MEDIA_URL }}/img/someImage.jpg"> How would you accomplish this in a CSS file which is not served as a template? .someClass { /* can't do this this */ background: url("{{ MEDIA_URL }}/img/someImage.jpg"); /* either this */ background: url("http://media.domain.com/img/someImage.jpg"); /* or this */ background: url("/django_static_media/img/someImage.jpg"); /* can't do both... what to do? */ } I need the ability to serve my files either from the media subdomain, or during offline work and serve them directly as a django static

I am trying to output the first 255 characters of a description on a list of items and am looking for a method to get that. Example: I have a variable that contains 300 or so characters. I call that variable like this, {{ my_variable|characterlimit:255 }} and it would return only the first 255 characters of that variable. If this tag doesn't exist, I will simply create it (and suggest that it goes into django), but I wanted to make sure it didn't before I took the time to do that. Thanks! heckj If the "my_variable" is a string, you can take advantage of the slice filter , which treats the

I'm trying to place markers based on the latitude and longitude stored in a model on a Google Map using the API and HTML5 geolocation. The issue is how to loop through the lat/lon info for each object stored within JavaScript tags using template keywords, which I don't believe can be done in Django. I found a similar question here Adding Google Map Markers with DJango Template Tags in Javascript which I mildly modified and placed within a template – not a separate script file – but it doesn't seem to work: function loadMarkers(){ {% for story in stories %} var point = new google.maps.LatLng({

I have 10 html files with the names 1.html, 2.html ..etc What I want is according to a variable, a certain file should be included in the template. e.g. {% if foo.paid %} {% include "foo/customization/{{ foo.id }}.html" %} {% endif %} Is this possible ? Cause the foo.id is not being translated before the includes tag works. As a result its giving a error. How can this issue be handled in a different way ? Should I create a custom template tag for this ? You can do it with add filter and with statement . {% if foo.paid %} {% with template_name=foo.id|stringformat:"s"|add:".html" %} {% include
