.get() actually gets you an instance, while the queryset without the get acts (somewhat) like a list of instances. It is the .values() call that causes you to have dicts rather than instances. .get() considers it an error if the queryset represents either zero objects, or two or more objects (it

And where is your settings.py file? If it is in the same directory as manage.py, and it is a reasonably current Django (1.4, 1.5), then it's in the wrong place. It belongs in a sub-directory named 'blog1', along with your urls.py, wsgi.py and an empty __init__.py . On Wed, Sep 25, 2013 at 1:40

Not all that useful unless you un-hide the file extensions. I'm guessing that there are manage.py scripts in both the upper and lower blog1 directories. For recent Djangos, manage.py should only be in the upper directory. The lower directory contains settings.py, urls.py, wsgo/[u amd __init__.py.

You can certainly write a custom filter. And if you do that, you can divvy up your value into footnote links and other, and escape the other parts yourself, returning the result as a safe string. On Thu, Oct 3, 2013 at 2:55 AM, Mike Dewhirst wrote: > I made a custom template filter (ref_href)
