Ttemplates and filters for quoting e-mails in templates. The `quoted_email` tag takes a template, renders it and quotes the result. The `quote_text` filter puts one or more levels of quotes around the passed text.
A simple template filter for taking a list and humanizing it, converting: `["foo", "bar"]` to `"foo and bar"` `["foo", "bar", "baz"]` to `"foo, bar and baz"` `["foo", "bar", "baz", "42"]` to `"foo, bar, baz and 42"`
A very basic app centered around a template tag that takes an e-mail address and optional label and returns a link to an e-mail form. This way, you can easily throw e-mail addresses into your template that will automatically link to an e-mail form instead of displaying the e-mail address itself. The model for this app is extremely simple, with only one field to store the e-mail address. When an e-mail is passed to the email_link template tag, the e-mail address is added to the database if it is not already there. This is stored in the database in order to keep the full e-mail address hidden from the viewer. To use, simply create an app called 'email_links' (or you can change the name if you also change line 4 of email_extras.py to reflect the change). Then use the models.py and views.py provided. Add a templatetags directory under your app, and add email_extras.py and a blank __init__.py In your urls.py, add the following to your urlpatterns (subsitute project_name for your own): `(r'^email/(?P<email_id>[0-9]+)/$', 'project_name.email_links.views.email_form'),` Create two templates: email_links/email_form.html and email_links/thanks.html (the examples here are extremely basic - make them however you want). Finally, in a template where you want to provide a link to e-mail someone, first load email_extras: `{% load email_extras %}` Then do one of the following: `{% email_link "[email protected]" %}` `{% email_link "[email protected]" "E-mail someone" %}` Both will create a link to the e-mail form. The first will use mask_email (from the snippet by jkocherhans) to create the link. The second will display the second argument "E-mail someone" in the link. Also note that I've used the Sites add-on to generate the links, but you can easily change this to suit your needs. I hope all of this makes sense. I'm a bit tired, but wanted to get this up before bed.
Allows the selection of one or more items from a list. The built-int `random` filter only allows you to select a single at a time, and repeated use can return the same item many times. **Example:** `{% for random_item in item_list|several_random:3 %} ... {% endfor%}` **Note:** If you're running this on an uncached QuerySet, it can result in many database queries... a future improvement might check to see if the passed object is a QuerySet and act accordingly.
This is a django filter which will create an html mailto link when you use the syntax: {{ "[email protected]"|encode_mailto:"Name" }} Results in: <a href="mailto:[email protected]">Name</a> Except everything is encoded as html digits. The encoding is a string of html hex and decimal entities generated randomly. If you simply want a string encoding use: {{ "name"|encode_string }} This was inspired by John Gruber's [Markdown](http://daringfireball.net/projects/markdown/syntax#autolink) project
**Usage** (*in template*): <img src="{{ MEDIA_URL }}2007/images/{% filter split:","|random %}theimage1.jpg,something2.jpg,thirdisthecharm.jpg{% endfilter %}" /> I decided to make it simple, because one template creator wanted to add random images to different places of templates. Creating something huge, like external image filename parsing was not necessary in this case.
Simple template filter to encode a variable to JSON format Usage: {% load json_filters %} {% block content %} <script type="text/javascript"><![CDATA[ var items = {{ items|jsonify }}; ]]></script> {% endblock %} I'm using JsonResponse for the views but I also want to have preloaded JSON data into the page output
Super stripped down filter to truncate after a certain number of letters. Ex: {{ long_blurb|truncchar:20 }} will display 20 characters of the long blurb followed by "..."
A filter to resize a ImageField on demand, a use case could be: ` <img src="object.get_image_url" alt="original image"> <img src="object.image|thumbnail" alt="image resized to default 200x200 format"> <img src="object.image|thumbnail:"200x300" alt="image resized to 200x300"> ` The filter is applied to a image field (not the image url get from *get_image_url* method of the model), supposing the image filename is "image.jpg", it checks if there is a file called "image_200x200.jpg" or "image_200x300.jpg" on the second case, if the file isn't there, it resizes the original image, finally it returns the proper url to the resized image. There is a **TODO**: the filter isn't checking if the original filename is newer than the cached resized image, it should check it and resize the image again in this case.
Really simple filter for using Smartpants in your template -- placed in your custom filters file. Requires python smartypants to be installed.
I have users in many timezones and I let them set their preferred display timezone in their user profile as a string (validated aginst the pytz valid timezones). This is a filter that takes a datetime as input and as an argument the user to figure out the timezone from. It requires that there is a user profile model with a 'timezone' field. If a specific user does not have a user profile we fall back on the settings.TIME_ZONE. If the datetime is naieve then we again fallback on the settings.TIME_ZONE. It requires the 'pytz' module: [http://pytz.sourceforge.net/](http://pytz.sourceforge.net/) Use: `{{ post.created|user_tz:user|date:"D, M j, Y H:i" }}` The example is assuming a context in which the 'user' variable refers to a User object.
dirt and simple template filter to convert a number to its roman value. taken from dive into python http://www.diveintopython.org/unit_testing/stage_5.html
Ever since django.contrib.markup appeared I've added a `markup_lang` field to my models where I want to support multiple input formats. This filter lets you pass the filter name as a string (from your model field, for example) and it will call the appropriate filter. I use None when the text is HTML, in which case it will return as-is. Example: class Article(models.Model): content = models.TextField(null=False, default="") markup_lang = models.CharField(maxlength=20, blank=True) a = Article(content="**Test!**", markup_lang='textile') b = Article(content="<h1>Hello!</h1>") And in a template: {% for article in article_list %} {{ article.content|render_markup:article.markup_lang }} {% endfor %}
I prefer to use this slugification function rather than the one included with Django. It uses underscores instead of dashes for spaces, and allows dashes and periods to occur normally in the string. I decided on this when considering reasonable slugified titles such as... object-relational_mapper_2.5 ten_reasons_web-2.0_rocks django-trunk_0.99_updated
Truncates a string after a given number of chars
