Re: [mezzanine-users] Easy way to grab data from an installed app in the templates
Hello,
No, I needed to restart my server for some reason...
I got it to not give an error, but now it is still hiding my variable in the
{% block main %}
{% endblock %}
tags. Here is what I have:
my_app/templatetags/my_tags.py
from mezzanine import template
register = template.Library()
@register.assignment_tag
def test_text(format_string=I like cheese):
return format_string
my_theme/templates/index.html
{% extends base.html %}
{% load i18n %}
{% load my_tags %}
{% test_text Flowers are nice as my_text %}
{% block meta_title %}{% trans Home %}{% endblock %}

{% block main %}

Also, be careful with the blocktrans tag, you need to explicitly
bind any variable you want to use inside them. You should also
avoid including HTML tags inside them to prevent poluting the
gettext catalog with markup

Re: [mezzanine-users] Easy way to grab data from an installed app in the templates
Yeah, a server restart is required when you create new template tags for
Django to pick them up.
As for your template code, try putting {% test_text Flowers are nice
as my_text %} inside the block you want to use the variable (in your
case: {% block main %}).

Hello,
So the document namespace doesn't go into the block? That worked!

Re: [mezzanine-users] Easy way to grab data from an installed app in the templates
Hello,
How do you call the function in a block? Because for my index I have:
{% block main %}
{% blocktrans %}
h1my text/h1
{% where I want the function %}
{{ where I want the variable }}
{% endblocktrans %}
{% endblock %}

Re: [mezzanine-users] Easy way to grab data from an installed app in the templates
Hello,
I think I did this exactly how you said, but in my index.html nothing
shows up. Here is what I have:
my_app/defaults.py
from mezzanine.conf import register_setting
register_setting(name='test_text', default=Hello world)
register_setting(name=TEMPLATE_ACCESSIBLE_SETTINGS, append=True,
default=(test_text,))
my_theme/templates/index.html
{% extends base.html %}
... all defaults
{% block main %}
{% blocktrans %}
h2My text!/h2
pHere is my text and the variable is: {{ settings.test_text }}/p
{% endblocktrans %}
{% endblock %}
I get the first part of the text, but the variable is not there at all.
thanks,

I think what you might be looking for is to create your own setting,
and then use it in a template, right?
http://mezzanine.readthedocs.org/en/latest/configuration.html
Basically:
In your app, create a defaults.py, and use register_setting() to
create the variable you want.
It can be editable in the admin if you like, or just configurable via
settings/local_settings.py
Then you'll need to update TEMPLATE_ACCESSIBLE_SETTINGS so that your
new setting is listed there,
making it accessible within templates.
And then you should be able to just reference {{settings.variable}} in
any template that has mezzanine_tags loaded.
For example, I have in my app's defaults.py:
register_setting(
name=SOCIAL_FACEBOOK,
description=Link to Facebook Page. Include http prefix.,
editable=True,
default=,
)
register_setting(
name=TEMPLATE_ACCESSIBLE_SETTINGS,
append=True,
default=(SOCIAL_FACEBOOK,),
)
And then in my base.html:
{% load mezzanine_tags ... %}
...
{% if settings.SOCIAL_FACEBOOK %}
a href={{ settings.SOCIAL_FACEBOOK }}Facebook/a
{% endif %}
So this allows me to add a link to my Facebook page in the admin
(Settings section) and have that link show up on every page of the
site via the base.html template.
Seeya. Danny.

Re: [mezzanine-users] Easy way to grab data from an installed app in the templates
Hello,
That was totally the problem!
I would like to be able to keep the translation ability for the
variables, is there any way to use a filter on the text before it goes
into blocktrans?
I tried doing something like:
my_app/templatetags/module.py
from django import template
register = template.Library()
my_theme/templates/index.html
{% load shortcodes %}
...
{% block main|test_filter %}
{% blocktrans %}
h2My text!/h2
pI like flowers, apples, flowers, oranges, flowers and flowers!/p
{% endblocktrans %}
{% endblock %}
and nothing shows up on the page...
I've already got a filter I am using for richtext, so I'll just transfer
that over if I can.
Other question, if I'm not to use html tags in the translated area, what
do I use? Do I just put a whole lot of blocktrans tags in my html tags?
Thanks,
Brandon Keith Biggs http://www.brandonkeithbiggs.com/
