Thanks!
That helped. :)
The code for the tag was as follows:

Library, Template, TemplateSyntaxError, Context, loader

newsitems = NewsItem.objects.filter(Q(expires_at__gt =
datetime.now()) | Q(expires_at__isnull = True), effective_at__lte =
datetime.now(), is_active=True).order_by('-news_timestamp')

Looking at it again, I saw what was wrong and fixed it! For
completeness, I moved the NewsItem query within the NewsItemBlockNode
and everything works fine! The current code is:
import re

Library, Template, TemplateSynta

from datetime import datetime
class NewsItemBlockNode(Node):
def __init__(self, identifier, field):
self.identifier = str(identifier)
self.field = str(field)
self.image = False
def render(self, context):
try:
# newsitems = NewsItem.objects.all().order_by('-
created_at')
# newsitems = NewsItem.objects.visible().order_by('-
news_timestamp')
newsitems = NewsItem.objects.filter(Q(expires_at__gt =
datetime.now()) | Q(expires_at_
except:
newsitems = None
number = -1
numbers = {
'large': 0,
'large-small': 0,
'small1': 1,
'small2': 2,
'small3': 3,
'small4': 4,
'medium': 5,
}
# Only image
if self.field == 'teaser-image':
self.field = 'teaser'
self.image = True
if self.identifier in numbers:
number = numbers[self.identifier]
try:
newsitem = getattr(newsitems[number], self.field)
if type(newsitem).__name__ == 'datetime':
if self.identifier in ['medium', 'large']:
newsitem = newsitem.strftime('%d [%m] %Y')
newsitem = newsitem.replace('[01]', 'januari')

newsitem = re.sub(' ', '', newsitem)
except:
newsitem = ''
return mark_safe(newsitem)
@register.tag()
def show_newsitem(parser, token):
try:
tag, identifier, field = token.split_contents()

Thanks Michal and Daniel for your help!
