Hello Baxter!
Take a look at my approach. It might help you. The following template
tag "load_obj" loads any object by id and saves passes it to the
template context variable:
# ---- code starts here ----
from django.db.models import get_model
from django import template
register = template.Library()
def do_load_obj(parser, token):
try:
# split_contents() knows not to split quoted strings.
tag_name, appmodel, object_id, str_as, var_name = token.split_contents()
except ValueError:
raise template.TemplateSyntaxError, "%r tag requires a
following syntax: {%% %r app.model <object_id> as <var_name> %%}" %
(token.contents[0], token.contents[0])
try:
appname, modelname = appmodel.split(".")
except ValueError:
raise template.TemplateSyntaxError, "%r tag requires
application name and model name separated by a dot" %
(token.contents[0], token.contents[0])
from django.conf import settings
model = get_model(appname, modelname)
return LoadObjNode(model, object_id, var_name)
class LoadObjNode(template.Node):
""" {% load_obj app.name <object_id> as <var_name> %} """
def __init__(self, model, object_id, var_name):
self.model = model
self.object_id = object_id
self.var_name = var_name
def render(self, context):
try:
object_id = template.resolve_variable(self.object_id, context)
obj = self.model.objects.get(pk=object_id)
except ValueError:
obj = None
context[self.var_name] = obj
return ''
register.tag('load_obj', do_load_obj)
# ---- code ends here ----
I think, this is a good example of both -- reading a value of a
variable in a template tag and also setting a value to the context
variable.
