OK, first let me start by saying I tried to live with the django template processor. But I need more power. I like jinja2's macros - much slicker than having to write a custom tag.
So I've downloaded jinja2 and installed it. Good. After trying a couple of integration recipes on the web that "almost but not quite worked" I've found and downloaded chouwa and started using that. This works. Good. I have templates I want to inherit from that were written for the default template processor that use tags with names like 'url'. Amazingly, jinja2 lacks this and a few other commonly used tags. So I'm looking for compatibility extensions. I found: http://www.djangosnippets.org/snippets/1062/ Which looks like it might solve my problem - if I could get it recognized by jinja2's initialization. I've copied this code to a file at the root level of myapp called tags.py I've added the following to my settings.py file JINJA_EXTS = ( 'jinja2.ext.i18n', 'jinja2.ext.do', 'jinja2.ext.loopcontrols', 'from myapp.tags import *', ) JINJA2_ENVIRONMENT_OPTIONS = { 'extensions': JINJA_EXTS, } I've tried half a dozen incantations trying to get these functions imported as extensions to jinja2 and nothing seems to work. I've tried 'myapp.tags' 'myapp.tags.url' (this one produces a scary error 'no patterns in myapp.urls' and the entire app dies) and a few others. I'm stuck. What's the trick to getting compatibility tags for django installed into jinja2? -Todd Blanchard -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.
