I've got a couple small (500 or 600 lines of template code) Django sites, and I'd like to migrate them to using Jinja2… But I'd like to get some idea of how much work it will be. So, in general, about how much work is it to migrate a small Django site to Jinja2? And is it “worth it”? While it's just my own experience, I found converting from Django to Jinja2 to be worthwhile for the following reasons: The design and implementation of Jinja2 seemed more intuitive to me, both as a software developer and template designer; Jinja2 is more extensible (at least in the ways I've sought to extend my

I want to make a static page which will be shown to the user only if he/she clicks on a link provided in one of my models. I can do this by making a Python page alone and calling it, but I want it be called from Django. The user interface should be constructed using the Django API only. Any suggestions?

I'm building a django app and I can't get the templates to see the CSS files... My settings.py file looks like: MEDIA_ROOT = os.path.join(os.path.abspath(os.path.dirname(__file__)), 'media') MEDIA_URL = '/media/' I've got the CSS files in /mysite/media/css/ and the template code contains: <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="/media/css/site_base.css" />` then, in the url.py file I have: # DEVELOPMENT ONLY (r'^media/(?P<path>.*)$', 'django.views.static.serve', {'document_root': '/media'}), but the development server serves the plain html (without styles). What am I doing wrong? -- OK -

I would like to render a constructions like: <a href='/home'>Home</a> <span class='active'>Community</span> <a href='/about'>About</a> Where Community is selected menu item.

I am trying to split a list from my model across two columns, using this html code in the template: < div class ="col-md-6" > {%for value in object_list %} <ul>< ahref="/sites/{{value.url}}/">{{value.Site}}</a></ul> {% endfor %} I was planning to achieve this with the slice tag to filter the list, e.g.: {%for value in object_list|slice:"10:20" %} It does not work however, and I think it might be because I have context data i.e. {{value.Site}}, instead of just {{Site}} for example. This is the corresponding view: class homeview(ListView): template_name = 'annual_means/home.html' def get

I'm using Django Template language, using load staticfiles . However when I do the following <img src="{% static 'img/category/{{category.category|lower|slugify}}.jpg' %}"> I get the HTML as <img src="/static/img/category/%7B%7Bcategory.category%7Clower%7Cslugify%7D%7D.jpg"> which obviously is not rendering the correct image. However my expected output was <img src="/static/img/category/electronics.jpg"> where category.category = electronics I'm passing category as a ctx variable. Why is it happening like this? You can't have a variable in the static tag, that's why you see these %7B%7B in
