Hey Jorge,
I had tried that, however, this is the error I got :
Exception Type: TemplateSyntaxError
Exception Value: 'showmenu' is not a valid tag library: Could not load
template library from django.templatetags.showmenu, No module named
showmenu
i've created other templatetags before that loaded perfectly if i did
it for a certain app, for example,
/project/myapp/templatetags/tag.py
but this is more of a global template tag so im not sure if my
procedure in doing this is correct or not
Oh I didn't noticed that little detail. But no, you can't have a
"global" templatetag, your custom tags must be inside the
'templatetags' folder inside your app. This is what the documentation
says about it:
"""The {% load %} tag looks at your INSTALLED_APPS setting and only
allows the loading of template libraries within installed Django apps.
This is a security feature: It allows you to host Python code for many
template libraries on a single computer without enabling access to all
of them for every Django installation.
If you write a template library that isn't tied to any particular
models/views, it's perfectly OK to have a Django app package that only
contains a templatetags package."""
Hope it helps
Regards,
Jorge
