The usual way to go about this would be to modify your tag to take an optional "as var_name". When the tag has the optional portion, you would update the value into the variable. This way, behavior does not change where you're using the returned value, and when you need the value for further processing, you put it into a name of your choice in the context. The tag documentation has plenty of information about writing tags which access the context: http://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/howto/custom-template-tags/#setting-a-variable-in-the-context --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.
