> I didn't see how you return array to template context. Okay... well, it's actually a string that I finally send to the template. It's a long story (sorry), but I use the array to build a string (i.e values from the array get embedded in HTML source). The place where the string is return to the template is the last line on the tag, i.e. "return home_calendar".
The line above it "home_calendar = print_cal()", shows how print_calendar is a value derived from the function that builds the string. I could show you the source of the array and string building function, but I'm afraid you eyes might bleed :) On Apr 20, 4:37 pm, Anatoliy <anatoliy.la...@gmail.com> wrote: > Tonne, > > I didn't see how you return array to template context. > > On Apr 20, 11:44 am, Tonne <pascal.bomp...@gmail.com> wrote: > > > > > Thanks > > > > Can you show code of your tag and template where it used? > > > Well, sure, but the tag is quite a big one, 150 lines long due to the > > large array and string concatenation going on.
