Hey, I'm working on upgrading to Django 1.11 and have encountered an issue with simple_tags making use of context. I need to access the context within the tag so declare the decorator as follows.
@register.simple_tag(takes_context=True) However when I print the type of context at this stage it is an instance of RequestContext. Is this expected behaviour? Because if you wanted todo a render_to_string at the end of the template tag, it'll throw an "unexpected type" error as context as required as a dict but not an instance of RequestContext my return statement renderedMessage = render_to_string(template, context) return mark_safe(renderedMessage) Regards Murat -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.
