Re: [google-appengine] The Newbie Doubts on Django Template

[djidjadji BG]

Hi Davide ,

http://www.djangoproject.com/documentation/templates/
The Section "Behind the scenes'

If the method has no parameters you can use

{{ model.key }}

If it is a tuple of list you can use

{{ item.0 }}

Is it possible to call methods that have parameters in the Django template?

Hi

zpt (which comes from zope and has been integrated with django)
runs fine on gae,

Alternately you can quite easily get raw zope page templates
working with gae

I have a live gae app which uses a cut down zope3 stack and z3c.forms
and some patches and hacks.

Once I get past our movie launch this week, I will point it out and
start documenting how I got a useable zope3 stack working.
