Re: Pass template tags through TextField?

That shouldn't be a problem, after all templates are just strings as
are textfields.

If you have a model with your textfield in it as so:

class MyModel(models.Model):
   template = models.TextField()


and you have a view which renders the template defined in the next
field

def my_view(request):
   m = MyModel.objects.get(pk=1)  # for example the first one

   t = Template(m.template)  #this creates a template from your string
in the model
   c = Context({'form': form, etc.. #any context to go into the
template})

  # now you can just return the rendered template as html
  return HttpResponse(t.render(c))

For more info refer to:

Cheers,

Dan

Pass template tags through TextField?

[Ogre]

I have a model where I need to be able to insert template tags into a
TextField in the admin as part of the content and then have them
rendered properly on the front-end.

Can this be done?  And if so, can someone recommend a method?  I
understand the security concerns of opening that field up to python.

Thanks in advance.
