Lets say I have an extension in Jinja. I want the extension to have the form:
{% start %}
<h1>{{ something }}</h1>
<p>{{ something.else }}</p>
{% for content in lst %}
<h3>{{ i.name }}</h3>
{% endfor %}
{% end %}
In my extension, I want to have access to the raw text between start and end, so this:
<h1>{{ something }}</h1>
<p>{{ something.else }}</p>
{% for content in lst %}
<h3>{{ i.name }}</h3>
{% endfor %}
I would like that in my extension. How could I do that? I have poured over the jinja documentation to no avail.
If your desire output is {{something}}, then you can use "raw" block in jinja.
{% raw %}
<h1>{{ something }}</h1>
{% endraw %}
It will print "{{something}}" (with curly braces).

I have a custom template tag that accesses a models function. However, I also need the custom template tag to be in a for loop, which requires nested template tags:
{% load custom_tags %}
{% for list in remind_lists %}
<h3>{{ list.title }}</h3>
{% for item in {% get_list_items user.username %} %}
<p>{{ item.title }}</p>
{% endfor %}
{% endfor %}
It gives me a TemplateSyntaxError- 'for' statements should use the format 'for x in y': for item in {% get_list_items user.username. Is there anyway I can do this?
custom tag:
register = template.Library()
#register.simple_tag
def get_list_items(event_ins, authenticated_user):
return event_ins.get_list_items(authenticated_user)
You can't nest tags in this way - but you can assign the output of the tag to a variable that you can then loop over:
{% load custom_tags %}
{% for list in remind_lists %}
<h3>{{ list.title }}</h3>
{% get_list_items list user.username as list_items %}
{% for item in list_items %}
<p>{{ item.title }}</p>
{% endfor %}
{% endfor %}
# you can format the text or data in the function itself and return the same to the template
{% for list in remind_lists %}
<h3>{{ list.title }}</h3>
{{ list.id|get_list_items:authenticated_user }}
{% endfor %}
register = template.Library()
#register.simple_tag
def get_list_items(event_ins, authenticated_user):
# you can format the text or data here
return ...
I have the following loop in my Django template:
{% for item in state.list %}
<div> HTML (CUSTOMERS BY STATE) </div>
<!-- print sum of customers at bottom of list -->
{% if forloop.last %}
<h4>{{ forloop.counter }} Valued Customers</h4>
{% endif %}
{% endfor %}
Obviously, if I end up with only one customer, I'd like to print singular "Valued Customer"
According to Django's docs, one should use blocktrans. Tried the following, a few flavors of nesting:
{% blocktrans count %}
{% if forloop.last %}
<h4>
{{ forloop.counter }}
Valued Customer
{% plural %}
Valued Customers
</h4>
{% endif %}
{% endblocktrans %}
Keep getting TemplateSyntaxError: Invalid block tag: 'blocktrans', expected 'empty' or 'endfor'
Is there no way to combine with another loop? Any ideas how to solve? Thanks!
Here is the working code, thanks to alko:
{% load i18n %}
<!-- ... -->
{% if forloop.last %}
<h4>
{{ forloop.counter }}
{% blocktrans count count=forloop.counter %}
Valued Customer
{% plural %}
Valued Customers
{% endblocktrans %}
</h4>
{% endif %}
Probably, you forgot to load translation tags. Add following line at the top of your template:
{% load i18n %}
After you fix that, note that for a blocktrans tag after count a variable, whose value will serve for plural detection, should be specified, so you probably need something like
{% blocktrans count count=forloop.counter %}
To pluralize use this:
Customer{{ forloop.counter|pluralize }}
I read the docs and I am not clear on this is right at all. I know you can use nested for loops, but if statements seem to be different.
Can i do the following?
{% if thing=true %}
<div> something here</div>
{% if diffthing=true %}
<div> something else</div>
{% else %}
<div> third thing</div>
{% endif %}
{% else %}
<div> nothing here </div>
{% endif %}
Or should the format be different somehow?
Jinja2 supports nested blocks, including if statements and other control structures.
See the documentation on Block Nesting and Scope: "Blocks can be nested for more complex layouts."
A good use case for this is writing macros that conditionally output HTML:
{# A macro that generates a list of errors coming back from wtforms's validate function #}
{% macro form_error_summary(form, li_class='bg-danger') %}
{# only do the following on error... #}
{% if form.errors %}
<ul class="errors">
{# you can do layers of nesting as needed to render your content #}
{% for _field in form %}
{% if _field.errors %}
{% for error in _field.errors %}
<li class={{li_class}}>{{_field.label}}: {{ error|e }}</li>
{% endfor %}
{% endif %}
{% endfor %}
</ul>
{% endif %}
{% endmacro %}
The answer is yes.
I'm using logic very similar to yours in a live application and the nested if blocks work as expected. It can get a little confusing if you don't keep your code clean, but it works fine.
It seem possible. Refer to the documentation here: http://jinja.pocoo.org/docs/templates/#if
Just a quick add, if you're unpacking data to populate your fields, Jinja will only unpack it once. I had a similar problem with MongoDB and found if you change the item to a list item you iterate through it more than once without nesting
#app.route("/")
#app.route("/get_shrink")
def get_shrink():
# find and sort shrink top 5
shrink = list(mongo.db.shrinkDB.find().limit(5).sort(
"amount_lost_value", -1,))
return render_template(
"shrink.html", shrinkDB=shrink)
{% for shrink in shrinkDB %}
{% if shrink.resolved == true %}
<li>{{ shrink.product_name }} ||£ {{ shrink.amount_lost_value }} || {{ shrink.date }}</li>
{% endif %}
{% endfor %}
</span>
</div>
</div>
<div class="col s12 m5 offset-m2">
<h4>Top 5 Resolved Threats</h4>
<div class="card-panel light-blue">
<span class="white-text">
<!-- Shrink For loop top 5 resolves-->
{% for shrink in shrinkDB %}
{% if shrink.resolved != true %}
<li>{{ shrink.product_name }} ||£ {{shrink.amount_lost_value }} || {{ shrink.date }}</li>
{% endif %}
{% endfor %}
I'd like to replace the standard Markdown implementation in a Django blog I'm building with Github-flavoured Markdown. I'd like to use Misaka, and I've thrown together my own custom template tags. Unfortunately, something has gone awry.
Here is my template tags file, which is in blog/templatetags/gfm.py. The __init__.py file is present in the same folder:
from django import template
from django.template.defaultfilters import stringfilter
import misaka as m
register = template.Library()
#register.filter(is_safe=True)
#stringfilter
def gfm(value):
rendered_text = m.html(value,
extensions=m.EXT_FENCED_CODE,
render_flags=m.HTML_ESCAPE)
return rendered_text
And here is one of my templates:
{% extends 'layout/base.html' %}
{% block header %}
{% endblock %}
{% block content %}
{% load gfm %}
{% if object_list %}
{% for post in object_list %}
<div class="post">
<div class="page-header">
<h1>{{ post.title }}</h1>
</div>
{{ post.text|gfm }}
<p>Posted {{ post.pub_date }}</p>
<p>
{% for category in post.categories.all %}
<a class="badge badge-info" href="/category/{{ category.slug }}/">{{ category.title }}</a>
{% endfor %}
</p>
</div>
{% endfor %}
<br />
<ul class="pager">
{% if page_obj.has_previous %}
<li class="previous">Previous Page</li>
{% endif %}
{% if page_obj.has_next %}
<li class="next">Next Page</li>
{% endif %}
</ul>
{% else %}
<div class="post">
<p>No posts matched</p>
</div>
{% endif %}
{% endblock %}
The outputted text is being returned wrapped in double quotes, which breaks the whole thing. Otherwise, the markup generated seems correct.
Where have I gone wrong here? I know it's not the data in the database as if I use pdb to get the values of value and rendered_text inside the function, they are rendered correctly. For example, here is the plain text version of one post, as printed by pdb:
u'A Python application:\r\n\r\n print "Hello world"'
And here is the version rendered in Markdown using Misaka:
u'<p>A Python application:</p>\n\n<pre><code>print "Hello world"\n</code></pre>\n'
I'm fairly experienced with Django, but I'm new to custom template tags.
Use autoescape tag.
{% autoescape off %}{{ post.text|gfm }}{% endautoescape %}
Alternatively you can use safe filter.
{{ post.text|gfm|safe }}
I am already trying to concatenate like this:
{% for choice in choice_dict %}
{% if choice =='2' %}
{% with "mod"|add:forloop.counter|add:".html" as template %}
{% include template %}
{% endwith %}
{% endif %}
{% endfor %}
but for some reason I am only getting "mod.html" and not the forloop.counter number. Does anyone have any idea what is going on and what I can do to fix this issue? Thanks alot!
Your problem is that the forloop.counter is an integer and you are using the add template filter which will behave properly if you pass it all strings or all integers, but not a mix.
One way to work around this is:
{% for x in some_list %}
{% with y=forloop.counter|stringformat:"s" %}
{% with template="mod"|add:y|add:".html" %}
<p>{{ template }}</p>
{% endwith %}
{% endwith %}
{% endfor %}
which results in:
<p>mod1.html</p>
<p>mod2.html</p>
<p>mod3.html</p>
<p>mod4.html</p>
<p>mod5.html</p>
<p>mod6.html</p>
...
The second with tag is required because stringformat tag is implemented with an automatically prepended %. To get around this you can create a custom filter. I use something similar to this:
http://djangosnippets.org/snippets/393/
save the snipped as some_app/templatetags/some_name.py
from django import template
register = template.Library()
def format(value, arg):
"""
Alters default filter "stringformat" to not add the % at the front,
so the variable can be placed anywhere in the string.
"""
try:
if value:
return (unicode(arg)) % value
else:
return u''
except (ValueError, TypeError):
return u''
register.filter('format', format)
in template:
{% load some_name.py %}
{% for x in some_list %}
{% with template=forloop.counter|format:"mod%s.html" %}
<p>{{ template }}</p>
{% endwith %}
{% endfor %}
You probably don't want to do this in your templates, this seems more like a views job: (use of if within a for loop).
chosen_templates=[]
for choice in choice_dict:
if choice =='2':
{% with "mod"|add:forloop.counter|add:".html" as template %}
template_name = "mod%i.html" %index
chosen_templates.append(template_name)
Then pass chosen_templates to your template where you will have only
{% for template in chosen_templates %}
{% load template %}
{% endfor %}
Also, I don't quite understand why you are using a dict to select the template with a number that is not in the dictionnary. for key,value in dict.items() may be what you are looking for.
Try without using the block "with"
{% for choice in choice_dict %}
{% if choice =='2' %}
{% include "mod"|add:forloop.counter|add:".html" %}
{% endif %}
{% endfor %}
