Bruno, Thanks a lot!
I didn't know that Django will include the templatetags of all apps mentioned in settings.py. I thought that templatetags are included only within the context of the current app accessed by the browser. Now everything looks clearer, and I feel that I just got out from being a newbie, because this information gave me an idea on how to do almost all the things that I want for my project. Thank you so much!
