Re: Templatetag - using date and join together?

[Shawn Milochik]

If you don't find a better solution, and you're going to need this
feature frequently, you can always make a custom template tag. It's
not too much work.

Templatetag - using date and join together?

[Victor Hooi]

Hi,

I have a list of Python date objects that I'd like to format and string 
together.

I can use the join templatetag to string them together:

{{ date_sequence|join: ", " }}

And I can also use the date templatetag to format them:

{{ date_sequence|date:" M j" }}

However, I can't see to pipe one into the other - I get the errors:

TemplateSyntaxError: Could not parse the remainder: ': "M j"' from 
'date_sequence|join:", "|date: "M j"'

or

TemplateSyntaxError: Could not parse some characters: date_sequence|date|: 
"M j"||join:", "

(My actual code for that second error is {{ date_sequence|date: "M 
j"|join:", " }}, I'm not sure why it looks that way in the error message).

Now, obviously I can just use a for loop and the date templatetag, but the 
above is much more compact, and I would like to understand what's going on 
as well, or how to get it to work (assuming there is a way).

Thoughts?

Thanks,
Victor
