Hi Malcolm You are right about the essence of the problem. The value of photoobj is "'homepage.get_piece_dict.lead_story.get_lead_photo" and I am trying to get it to be an integer, the id of the photo I am trying to measure. I am wondering if I am losing the "homepage" dict by the time I get to the templatetag, however I seem to be able to hang on to it when I wrote a filter that gave me a 0 or 1 depending upon image orientation. I realized that a 0 or 1 output from a filter was not of much use so I am trying to get a variable back from a template tag.
The full output of the trackback is at http://webbackup.charleston.net/homepage/dmtest/ get_object is not defined in this templatetag file, it seems to be in use throughout the rest of the code in Ellington, but I don't see get_object in any other templatetag files.
