I need to dynamically generate a code like this in the resulting html:
<p>>> gallery one</p>
<p>gallery two</p>
<p>about the author</p>
<p>our news</p>
I do have menu_code string variable created in views.py (it is generated depending on an item number of the current page passed — 1 in the case above), which contains that long string with the code shown above. It is (well, supposed to) passed by locals() into the html template (all other variables are passed that way successfully):
return render_to_response('gallery_page.html', locals())
I have this:
{% include menu_code %}
inside the template html. But instead of being interpreted as code it is just shown as text in the browser.
What am I doing wrong? How to make it work as a dynamically generated menu?
Turned out it's necessary to surround the line in a template with autoescape like that:
{% autoescape off %}
{{ menu_code }}
{% endautoescape %}

I have a Django template file working with a passed value like the below.
{% include 'boutique/rating.html' with score=[I want to put value here] %}
When I usually put value into the template, I could easily do it by doing like the below.
{% for store in stores %}
{% include 'boutique/rating.html' with score=store.review_score %}
{% endfor %}
However, as I get into more complex templates, I need to assign the value to the score parameter in the include section through jQuery. Is there a way that I can acheive this through jQuery?
What you need to understand is this: The part of the template between {% and %} is interpreted by Django. It is processed entirely on the server. In other words, it never shows up in the browser, but gets replaced by some sort of standard HTML.
On the other hand, jQuery is a Javascript library and operates entirely in the browser -- it doesn't know anything about the server or Django.
So, to modify the included template with jQuery, you have to find out what HTML it renders to. You can probably do that by looking at the included template file. Then, treat that HTML the way you would any other part of the page for manipulation with jQuery.
I am very new to django and working on it.. I visited a html file and dont know the difference between {{}} and {% %} in html files used
as here
{% load static %}
Thanks a lot
You can use
{% %} For sentences such as if and for or to call tags such as load, static, etc.
{{ }} To render variables in the template.
Read More about it at Django Docs
{% %} is for displaying code and {{}} is for displaying variables
There are three things in the template in Django
First is template variable and the second thing is template tag and third and last is template filter
so we write a template variable is {{}}
and write a template tag is {% %}
third and last is template filter {{variable |filter:arg}}
I'm new too for Django, so if i'm wrong, please someone correct me.
The difference between they are:
{{variable}} is used to use a variables. When the template encounters a variable, it evaluates that variable and replaces it with the result.
You also can use filters {{variable|filter}} like this:
{{name|length}} in this case you will use a variable "name" and return the length of that variable.
{%tag%} could use for loops or logic, or load external information into the template to be used by later variables. You can create block tags to help extend other html files parts. Also you can create custom tags.
A good place to see how to do it:
https://www.codementor.io/hiteshgarg14/creating-custom-template-tags-in-django-application-58wvmqm5f
Tags like loops and block, need to be closed.
{% %} for IF ELSE CONDITIONS and FOR LOOP etc
{{ }} for veriables that rendered from view function also used in FOR LOOP veriables like
`enter code here`
{% for obj in qs%}
{{ obj.veriable_name }}
{% endfor %}
I have a template that looks something like:
Main Template, home.html:
{% extends "framed.html" %}
<h2> stuff <h2>
framed.html looks something like
{% block header %}
<h1>{{ sitename }}</h1>
{% endblock %}
Normally when I call these views I give it a context with a context containing a key "sitename" assigned get_current_site().name, which works fine.
I also, however, would like to use framed.html at the top of a bunch of templates that are also called by django default views. For example:
return HttpResponseRedirect(reverse('django.contrib.auth.views.login'))
The top of that page never gets the {{sitename}} to show up, so I end up with some blank space at the top of my page. The same goes for flat pages, logouts, etc. Is there a way I can get the relevant context added to all of these "built-in" pages?
You can write your own template context processor that will add required variable in the parameters provided to each template.

I have a custom template tag which shows a calendar. I want to populate certain items on the calendar based on a dynamic value.
Here's the tag:
#register.inclusion_tag("website/_calendar.html")
def calendar_table(post):
post=int(post)
imp=IMP.objects.filter(post__pk=post)
if imp:
...do stuff
In my template, it works fine when I pass a hard coded value, such as
{% load inclusion_tags %}
{% calendar_table "6" %}
However when I try something like {% calendar_table "{{post.id}}" %} , it raises a error a ValueError for the int() attempt. How can I get around this?
You want {% calendar_table post.id %}; the extra {{ and }} are what are causing you the heartburn.
Note that, in your custom tag, you need to take the string ("post.id") that gets passed and resolve it against the context using Variable.resolve. There's more information on that in the Django docs; in particular, look here: http://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.3/howto/custom-template-tags/#passing-template-variables-to-the-tag
I have a django template which loops over many notes/comments. As a simplified example take this.
{% for note in notes %}
<p>
Date added: {{ note.date_added }}
{{ note.note|urlize|url_target_blank|linebreaks }}
</p>
{% endfor %}
Then on the same page I have a form to add a new note. This note form is an ajax form and returns the newly submitted note back to the page and appends it at the end of the already existent note area.
I don't like this because I have to maintain the same html structure both in the page for the initial load, as well as in the response from the ajax form.
Is there a way to put a call to another template, inside of a template (in this for loop) so I can maintain the note formatting in one location only?
Thanks.
Perhaps you're looking for the "include" tag: http://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/ref/templates/builtins/#include
