Just to clarify, is your last_tweet_sent a template tag or a template
filter? In the first instance you won't be able to do what you want, and
it's probably overkill. In the second instance you should be able to do:
> {% with this_user|last_tweet_sent as sent_at %}
> {{ sent_at|naturalday:_("MONTH_DAY_FORMAT")|capfirst}}
> {% endwith %}
The template fitler definition would look something like this:
> @register.filter(name='last_tweet_sent')
> def last_tweet_sent(user):
> # work out when it was and call it dt
> return dt
The alternative is to make it a method on the user object, but that requires a
bit more fu in replacing the User model with a custom one. From what I
remember, [1] is the place that tells you how to do it. Again, this method is
probably overkill ;-).
