If you know the length of the string that you want to cut off the
beginning, you could use slice:
http://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/ref/templates/builtins/#slice
Really, though, you might be going about this in a strange way. It
might be better to use the url tag to get the correct URL that you
want in the first place. But then, I don't know what you're trying to
do.
