I'm trying to do pagination with the page parameter in the URL (instead of the GET parameter). I also want my pagination to be shared code across multiple different templates. Given that, I think I need to do something like this : urls.py: url(r'^alias/page;(?P<page>[0-9]+)/(?P<id>.*)$', alias.get, name="alias"), tempaltes/alias.htm...
Good Morning All, I've been a PHP programmer for quite some time, but I've felt the need to move more towards the Python direction and what's better than playing around with Django. While in the process, I'm come to a stopping point where I know there is an easy solution, but I'm just missing it - How do I display manytomany relationsh...
If fruits is the list ['apples', 'oranges', 'pears'], is there a quick way using django template tags to produce "apples, oranges, and pears"? I know it's not difficult to do this using a loop and {% if counter.last %} statements, but because I'm going to use this repeatedly I think I'm going to have to learn how to write custom tags f...

I find django's template language very limiting. Following along with django's DRY principle, I have a template that I'd like to use in many other templates. For example a patient list: {% for physician in physicians.all %} {% if physician.service_patients.count %} <div id="tabs-{{ forloop.counter }}"> {% include "hospitalists...

Typically when you want to mark string output as safe in Jinja2 you do something like this: {{ output_string|safe() }} However, what if output_string is always safe?

Hi Guys, I know django purposely does not allow a whole lot of logic in the templates. However sometimes you are required to evaluate something and based on that change your options. How do you change a value in a template or insert something only if it's the first record? But you would still like to loop through the rest. For example...
