I'm trying to create a form in Django. That works and all, but I want all the errors to be at the top of the form, not next to each field that has the error. I tried looping over form.errors, but it only showed the name of the field that had an error, not an error message such as "Name is required." This is pretty much what I'd like to ...
I have a structure where there's normally a page heading in (% block heading %} in my base template: base.html <h2>{% block heading %}{% endblock %}</h2> Most of the time, I'll pass in a heading like this through templates that extend base: extends-base.html {% block heading %}Super Cool Page!{% endblock %} However, for a special...
Say I have a model like: from django.db import models USER_TYPE_CHOICES = ( (1, 'Free'), (2, 'Paid'), ) class Account(models.Model): name = models.CharField(max_length=20) user_type = models.IntegerField(default=1, choices=TYPE_CHOICES) and in a template I want to test the user_type to show a special section if the u...
I am using Komodo Edit 5.2 for editing html and Django template files. It always shows a single syntax error inside the first {% block %} area on the first tag of my template. For example: {% extends "base.html" %} {% load i18n %} {% block title %}Hello{% endblock %} {% block content %} <p>Hello</p> <-- Syntax error on this singl...
Many of the reusable django apps don't include default templates inside. James Bennett says in his presentation Reusable Apps that providing truly portable default templates is very hard. He adds that most of the bug reports in the first release of his registration app were related to default templates. This is a valid point. But withou...
As we all know (or should), you can use Django's template system to render email bodies: def email(email, subject, template, context): from django.core.mail import send_mail from django.template import loader, Context send_mail(subject, loader.get_template(template).render(Context(context)), '[email protected]', [email,]) T...

In my webapp, there are a lot of errors or other messages that just show a template that is very close to the URL. At the moment, I have half a dozen static mappers like this: (r'^/message/foo/$', 'direct_to_template', {'template': 'message/foo.html'}), (r'^/message/bar/$', 'direct_to_template', {'template': 'message/bar.html'}), Is t...
Using the standard Django templating system, is there any snippet/reusable template tag to have the first n words in a piece of text wrapped in a tag so I can style them? What I'm ideally looking for: {{item.description|wrap:"3 span big"}} which outputs: <span class="big">Lorem ipsum dolor</span> sit amet, consectetur adipiscing e...
I'm new to Django and I wonder if there is a way to dump all the variables available to a template for debugging purposes. In Python I might use something like locals(), is there something equivalent for the default template engine? Note: suppose I don't have access to the view for the purposes of this question. ...

My view code looks basically like this: context = Context() context['some_values'] = ['a', 'b', 'c', 'd', 'e', 'f'] context['other_values'] = [4, 8, 15, 16, 23, 42] I would like my template code to look like this: {% for some in some_values %} {% with index as forloop.counter0 %} {{ some }} : {{ other_values.index }} <br/> ...

I'm working with a django form, and I have a choice field. I think the problem may be that the choices are fetched dynamically, and right now there's only one value. I'm getting the TemplateSyntaxError: too many values to unpack. Some of the other posts seem to say that having only one value is a problem, so i adjusted my function that f...
I want to subclass models.TextField so I can return the text to the template with occurences of \r\n replaced with <br />. I don't want the <br />'s stored in the database, however. What method is called to retrieve the field's data when invoked from the template? I tried this, but it doesn't seem to work: class HTMLTextField(models.Te...

The following field is meant to format money as a two places decimal (quantized). You can see that it returns a <decimal>.quantize(TWOPLACES) version of the stored decimal. When I view this in the Django admin however, it doesn't do that. If I put in 50 to a field that is using CurrencyField() and view it in the admin, I get 50 vs 50.00....
