Hello, I am wondering if someone can help me figure out the best approach to the following problem. I'm building a web application which uses Django templating to construct its web UI component. There are a number of common HTML elements such as the header / footer, HTML head, masthead etc. I'd like to code these once and "include/co...
I am running Django trunk and have template Autoescaping on (default). Do I need to pass template URLs to the URLENCODE filter, or does Autoescape take care of that automatically? The Django docs aren't clear. Django docs say this about Autoescape: When auto-escaping is in effect, all variable content has HTML escaping applied to it...
After reading the Jinja2 documentation, I'm interested in employing it in future Django projects. However, I'm wondering if anyone has encountered any drawbacks or gotchas when using Jinja2 templates with Django? If so, how did you work around them? I wouldn't mind hearing about positive experiences either, just to get a good cross se...

I'm storing some additional per-user information using the AUTH_PROFILE_MODULE. We can access the user in a Django template using {{ request.user }} but how do we access fields in the profile since the profile is only accessible via a function user.get_profile() ? Is it really required to explicitly pass the profile into the template e...

Variations of this question have been asked, but I'm still unable to get my stylesheets to load correctly when my templates are rendered. I'm attempting to serve static media from the Django process during development - which is strongly discouraged in production, I'm aware. I'll post my configuration and my template, and hopefully some...
Hi, Django templates offer the builtin tag cycle for alternating between several values at different points in a template (or for loop in a template) but this tag does not reset when it is accessed in a scope outside of the cycles definition. I.e., if you have two or more lists in your template, the rows of all of which you'd like to u...
I've got a CMS that takes some dynamic content and renders it using a standard template. However I am now using template tags in the dynamic content itself so I have to do a render_to_string and then pass the results of that as a context variable to render_to_response. This seems wasteful. What's a better way to do this? ...

I happened to stumble across HAML, an interesting and beautiful way to mark up contents and write templates for HTML. Since I use Python and Django for my web developing need, I would like to see if there is a Python implementation of HAML (or some similar concepts -- need not be exactly identical) that can be used to replace the Django...
I am writing out a table using just the template system in Django, and it is not showing the border around empty table cells. No problem I thought - I've solved this problem before. I put   in any cell that was to be left empty. Django kindly converted the ampersand to & so that I have &nbsp in the empty cells, and it shows ...

Customers go to this ordering page, fill out some information (name, email, dedication, etc), pick the print number they want to reserve, and click order.
