gone through again but still need help; missing something and can't figure it out ... the goal is to get the first 50 characters from a published page onto the index page so
index.html {% include "teaser.html" %} teaser.html {% load page_teaser_tags keyword_tags mezzanine_tags i18n %} {% block page_teaser %} {% page_teaser "about-us" as teased_page %} {% if teased_page %} {% teased_page %} {% endif %} {% endblock %} page_teaser_tags.py from __future__ import unicode_literals from mezzanine.pages.models import Page from mezzanine import template register = template.Library() @register.as_tag def page_teaser(page=None): """ return the requested page usage {% page_teaser page="about-us" as page_teased %} """ pages = Page.objects.published() if page is not None: try: page_teased = pages.filter(slug=page) except page_teased.DoesNotExist: return [] return render(page_teased.description) my templatetags\page_teaser_tags.py never gets triggered at all (meaning there is no compiled python file in the folder) however i do reach the "teaser.html" file but can't passed it no matter where i place my tag file thx Roland -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Mezzanine Users" group.
