Hi,

I have created a custom template tags library which I would like to use across my application.
I referred this code snippet, http://djangosnippets.org/snippets/342/

but still when I refer the tag in my code as: {% load repeat %}.

It says 'repeat' is not a valid tag library, tried django.templatetags.repeat,django.contrib.staticfiles.templatetags.repeat

Any help would be appreciated.

- Thanks
Ashish

Hi,

Yes it do have __init__.py

I have created a simple project of template tags and have installed it as a python package with setup.py.

After which I am referring it into my website.

- Thanks for reply

[Ashish Jain]

For reference, I have manage.py as:

#!/usr/bin/env python

import os

import sys

# http://djangosnippets.org/snippets/342/

def load_templatetags():

  from django.conf import settings

  from django.template import add_to_builtins

  try:

   for lib in settings.TEMPLATE_TAGS:

     print 'loading template tag %s'% lib

     add_to_builtins(lib)

   print django.template.builtins[3].tags

   t = django.template.Template('{% load repeat %}')

   print t

  except AttributeError:

  pass

if __name__ == "__main__":

  os.environ.setdefault("DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE", "website.settings")

  from django.core.management import execute_from_command_line

  execute_from_command_line(sys.argv)

  load_templatetags()

In the print statements, I get the third loaded library has tags 'repeat'
but,
   t = django.template.Template('{% load repeat %}')
throws the same error.

You can only load template libraries from apps. Is your template
library contained within an app listed in INSTALLED_APPS?

Thanks for the reply. Got the code working.
It was my mistake the way I was using template in my html page.

I had html page as:

  {%load repeat%}
  ..
  {% repeat data %} {% endrepeat %}

I was not required to add  "{%load repeat%}" line, which was resulting into error. Straightway the repeat can be used.

- Thanks

And in settings.py, I have:

TEMPLATE_TAGS = (

  'templatemyweb.tags.repeat',

)

with which I am using this code snippet, http://djangosnippets.org/snippets/342/
