Re: How to display a date in my template as Mar. 1 2008...not 2008-03-01?
You forgot the pipe | character and the colon :
{% for a in entries %}
Date: {% a.date|date:"jS o\f F" %}
{% endfor %}
If a is your date, then:
{% for a in entries %}
Date: {% a|date:"jS o\f F" %}
{% endfor %}
Have you read the docs? They are pretty clear about the syntax of
template filters.

Shouldn't there be a colon between the filter and its arguments:
{{ a.date|date:"jS o\f F" }} ?
I guess the confusion arose because the date filter points to the now
tag for the formatting details, and tags have a slightly different
syntax than filters of course.

Re: How to display a date in my template as Mar. 1 2008...not 2008-03-01?
Daniel,
Now i'm getting the error:
Could not parse the remainder: ' "jS o\f F"' from 'a.date|date "jS o\f
F"'
///
I just looked at my Admin. And when I open each record I see the
value 'True' in my date field. However, when I look at it in the
template it shows the correct date '2008-03-01' (when i just use
{{ a.date }} ).
Thanks

It's a variable, not a tag, so use {{ a.date|date "jS o\f F" }} - ie
{{ }}, rather than {% %}.

Justin,
I tried that but I'm still getting the following error:
Invalid block tag: 'a.date|date'
My Model file is setup this way:
class Guestbook(models.Model):
name = models.CharField(maxlength=100)
location = models.CharField(maxlength=100)
state = models.USStateField()
date = models.DateField()
comment = models.TextField(maxlength=5000)

Assuming a.date is a valid datetime, you're probably looking for:
{% for a in entries %}
Date: {% a.date|date "jSo\f F" %}
{% endfor %}
which is explained on the previous link.
