Fresh Install - Invalid block tag: 'endfor', expected 'empty' or 'endthumbnail'

[mdp]

Hi,

I'm fairly comfortable with Django and Python but this is my first
delve into Satchmo, so apologies if I've missed something obvious.
I've just installed Satchmo following the instructions here - "http://
www.satchmoproject.com/docs/dev/quickstart.html" and I'm following the
tutorial here "http://www.satchmoproject.com/docs/dev/tutorial1.html".
Unfortunately, for every template I've so far accessed ie index.html
and product.html, I'm getting the following error:

Invalid block tag: 'endfor', expected 'empty' or 'endthumbnail'

where the block in question is something like:

{% if product.main_image %}
<center>
{% thumbnail product.main_image.picture 85x85 as image
%}
<a href="{{ product.get_absolute_url }}"><img
src="{{ image }}" width="{{ image.width }}"
height="{{ image.height }}" /></a>
</center>
{% endif %}

Obviously I can fix this by adding an {% endthumbnail %} end tag after
the href, but before doing so I wanted to check the error wasn't a
result of not having set something up correctly.

Thanks

I haven't been actively following sorl development lately but it looks like they are pushing out a new version that has this new syntax.

I currently use version 3.2.5 and it still has the same syntax and should work unmodified.

Anyone have experience with the newer sorl code? Looks like we're going to have to figure out what we want to do on a go forward basis.

So it seems the current stock templates don't play nicely with the current version of sorl. I've created my own templates in which I've had to use the following syntax to get images to display:

eg I changed:

               {% thumbnail product.main_image.picture 85x85 as image %}

              <a href="{{ product.get_absolute_url }}"><img src="{{ image }}" width="{{ image.width }}" height="{{ image.height }}" /></a>

to:

               {% thumbnail product.main_image.picture "85x85" as image %}

              <a href="{{ product.get_absolute_url }}"><img src="{{ image.url }}" width="{{ image.width }}" height="{{ image.height }}" /></a>

               {% endthumbnail %}

Note the "'s around the image dimensions and the endthumbnail tag. I also had to change src="{{ image }}" to src="{{ image.url }}" as with just {{ image }} the url was for a non existent cache url, although I'm not sure that is down to some incorrect config on my part. If anyone has a better suggestion as how to do this then please let me know :-)

Thanks

(PS apologies if this comes through twice, I initially sent from a different email address to the one I subscribed with)

Another possible option is to force an old install of sorl. Try this:
pip install sorl-thumbnail==3.2.5
