I haven't moved to 1.3 yet, but we do a few things with the template source too so this is definitely of interest. It looks like most of the template loaders define a load_template_source method implementation that does return the source, except for the cached loader. As a work around you could add a module with your own find_template_source() method based on the existing, but calling the load_template_source() method instead:
from django.template.loader import template_source_loaders,find_template_loader,make_origin,TemplateDoesNotExist from django.conf import settings def find_template_source(name, dirs=None): global template_source_loaders if template_source_loaders is None: loaders = [] for loader_name in settings.TEMPLATE_LOADERS: loader = find_template_loader(loader_name) if loader is not None: loaders.append(loader) template_source_loaders = tuple(loaders) for loader in template_source_loaders: try: source, display_name = loader.load_template_source(name, dirs) return (source, make_origin(display_name, loader, name, dirs)) except TemplateDoesNotExist: pass except NotImplementedError: pass raise TemplateDoesNotExist(name) If you want to use the cache loader too, you'd have to subclass it and define your own load_template_source() implementation. I hope this functionality gets added back to the core. There isn't any reason not to that I can see. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.
