Hey everyone,
Fairly new to django and trying to write my first site. I have
stumbled across a problem that i can't seem to find much information
on, or perhaps i am looking in the wrong place? Basically i have a
table in the database with phrases, and i run a query on the table to
get a random phrase. I want to put this result into the <title></
title> of the website, however first store it in a session variable
and display that, so the user only sees one phrase each session
instead of seeing a new phrase each page refresh/change.
So i have attempted to pass the request.session to the template tag
via:
{% random_phrase_title request.session %}
Then i have attempted to make the custom template tag:
register = template.Library()
@register.tag
def random_phrase_title(parser, token):
try:
tag_name, request.session = token.split_contents()
except ValueError:
msg = '%r tag requires a single argument' % token.contents[0]
raise template.TemplateSyntaxError(msg)
return ''
class RandomPhrase(template.Node):
def __init__(self, form, fieldname, nodelist):
self.form = form
self.fieldname = fieldname
self.nodelist = nodelist
def render(self, context):
if not request.session['random_phrase_title']:
request.session['random_phrase_title'] =
RandomPhrase.objects.order_by('?')
return request.session['random_phrase_title']
But i can't seem to get the session variables in? Can someone please
help me out with my code above, or show me an example of how n00b i
am :D
Thanks alot!
