Evaluating variables in a blocktrans block within templates

[Frankline]

Hi all,

I recently had a weird problem in my django templates regarding evaluating variables within a blocktrans, but I finally figured it out. I guess I just want to know the reason why it worked, an explanation sort of.

THIS DID NOT WORK

{% blocktrans %}Approve all {{ objects.count }} users{% endblocktrans %}

HOWEVER, THIS WORKED

{% blocktrans with objects.count as objects_count%}Approve all {{ objects_count }} users{% endblocktrans %}

Can someone explain to me the reason behind why the last code statement worked as opposed to the first one?

Thanks.

With Regards,

Frankline

Hi Frankline,

You can only reference variables in the templates directly with the blocktrans tag. See https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.7/topics/i18n/translation/#blocktrans-template-tag. So you have to use the "with" statement on blocktrans to access properties of a class.

Regards,

Andréas
