I'm confused by your traceback; I would have expected a TemplateDoesNotExist, not a ViewDoesNotExist, to be the result of running into trouble loading a custom tag library. What exactly do you have in INSTALLED_APPS and urls.py? Karen p.s. You should not need to put "__all__ = ['myfilters']" into your __init__.py for your templatetags directory. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.
