stringformat to get first 3 characters?

[Frank Peterson]

I need to use the stringformat filter on a variable in a template but
I just want it to grab the first 3 characters of the variable.

{{ object.caption|lower|truncatewords:"1"|stringformat:"3s" }}

Doesnt seem to work.

IFEQUAL takes two arguments error on Django 0.91

[Frank Peterson]

I'm on Django 0.91 (unfortunately we are stuck with that and cannot
upgrade).

We have a variable - object.caption and lets say that it equals
"Bling: whatever" (without the quotes)

I am doing a hack in the templates (dont have access to anything else,
and need to output "IT WORKED!" (without the quotes)

I am using the following code

{% ifequal object.caption|lower|truncatewords:"1"|cut:": ..." "bling"
%}IT WORKED!{% endifequal %}

It gives me "bling" when I output this {{ object.caption|lower|
truncatewords:"1"|cut:": ..." }}
however as soon as that code is in the ifequal it errors and says

IFEQUAL takes two arguments error

Is there a way to use the Cut Filter to only do the first instance?

[Frank Peterson]

I am using the following
{{ section.get_absolute_url|cut:"/news/" }}
on a string that is
/news/new-york-jets/news/

I need to remove the first /news but the CUT filter removes all
instances of it, is there a way for me to remove on the first "/news"?

ifequal doesn't like spaces?

[Frank Peterson]

I have something like the following

{% ifequal flatpage.title "Special Reports" %}
http://example.com/icon_specialreports.png; />
{% endifequal %}

I get the error
'ifequal' takes two arguments
so it doesn't like the fact that "Special Reports" has a space in it.

Is there a way around this?

I'm on Django 0.91 (I cannot upgrade, because it's our corporate
system and they have to upgrade it).

Re: Is there a TRIM feature for templates in Django 0.91

[Frank Peterson]

TRIM would delete any whitespace from the string (tabs, newlines,
spaces, ...). SPACELESS comes close as it will convert all the
whitespace into just 1 space.

I'm stuck on 0.91 at work and I dont think they plan on upgrading
anytime soon (its beyond my control)

I'm not sure SPACELESS doesnt work, maybe because its around the
variable story.tease?  I cant do anything via python either, I dont
have permission and I wouldnt know how anyway, all I deal with is
templates

{% block data %}{% spaceless %}{{ story.tease }}{% endspaceless %}
{%endblock %}

Is there a TRIM feature for templates in Django 0.91

[Frank Peterson]

I looked over the docs
http://www.djangoproject.com/documentation/0_91/templates/

but the closest thing was SPACELESS

I tried to use it like this:
{% block data %}{% spaceless %}{{ story.tease }}{% endspaceless %}{%
endblock %}

But it didnt work.
