templatetag issue

[Daymien]

Hallo,

I created a templatetag, wich I use to display some notes on admin
index template.
With the bildin develop webserver all works fine.

But when I start the apache server with mod_wsgi or mod_python it
won't work:

*********************************************************************

library from django.templatetags.note_tags, No module named

I don't understand the issue esspecially it works with the buildin
webserver!
Who can hep, please?

I have a similar issue. I have been stuck on this for too long now.
What is happening is that Django is not locating your custom note_tags
template tag in your application's templatetag directory, though I
don't know why.

Try this --- on your production server, copy your note_tags file from
your application's templatetags directory to the directory django/
templatetags

It might work, but this is not a solution, only a workaround.

Let me know how it goes. By the way, what version of Django are you
using?

Regards.

Are you missing a __init__.py in the tags directory?

[chefsmart]

In my case, I have the __init__.py just as I do on my development
environment.

[Daymien]

I have teh __init__.py in the directory, too.

I use the newest stabel 1.1
So I will try your solution...

[Daymien]

Your solution don't work for me yet :-(
I have been copy the note_tags.py to django/templatetags/ and
restartet Apache.
But I got the same issue. Is there anything else to do?

Regards.

[chefsmart]

Where is your production setup? Webfaction? VPS?

And which version of Django are you using?

[Daymien]

My Setup is on the Intranet of my company (SLES 10 SP2 System with
apache2 and Django 1.1)

[chefsmart]

I have a similar discussion running on
http://groups.google.com/group/django-users/browse_frm/thread/989c569d5118980d

But the workaround I posted in post no. 2 above works for me, I don't
know why it didn't for Daymien.

@Daymien: - When trying out my workaround, try to comment out
'django.template.loaders.app_directories.load_template_source' from
your TEMPLATE_LOADERS setting in settings.py

And then let us know.

This is baffling.

[Daymien]

Jippii,
I got the solution :-)

I don't no why this problem only appear with mod_python or mod_wsgi
with apache and not with the build in webserver, but now it works!
The problem was that the app were not in the python search path.
So either you include your app to python include path or you change
the import line in your template tag.

********* NOT working Templatetag ***********
from django.template import Library
from note.models import Note

register = Library()

def display_notes():
latest = Note.objects.all().order_by("-added_date")
return {'notes': latest}
display_notes = register.inclusion_tag("show_note.html")
(display_notes)
*************************************************

********* WORKING Templatetag ****************
from django.template import Library
from gateadmin.note.models import Note

register = Library()

def display_notes():
latest = Note.objects.all().order_by("-added_date")
return {'notes': latest}
display_notes = register.inclusion_tag("show_note.html")
(display_notes)
*************************************************

Look especially to the second include line :-)
The solution is to use the full proj. path like:

"from project.app.models import Model"

have fun!

I had something like INSTALLED_APPS = ( 'my_django_app',) in my
settings.py. I changed it to INSTALLED_APPS =
( 'my_django_project.my_django_app',) and it set things right.
