Re: Dynamic age count

Look at the timesince filter in django's source for an example, as it
does almost exactly what you're looking for.

You didn't say what "No joy" means. Did you receive an error?

You say you want to implement a simple tag but what you've implemented
above is a filter. If you did mean to implement a tag, change change
@register.filter to @register.simple_tag.

Dynamic age count

[Alfonso]

Hi,

Trying to implement a very simple template tag that will output a
company's age.  So idea being if company was established in 1860 then
it should output '148 years old' if my math is right ;-)

this is what I've got:

from django.template import *

register = Library()

@register.filter
def age(comp_age):
d = datetime.date.today()
b = 1860
comp_age = int(d.year - b)
return comp_age

No joy -  any ideas, must be pretty simple !?

Thanks
