I just converted the autop filter from Drupal (which is itself based on a Wordpress filter) from PHP to Python. I had to change the format of the regular expressions a bit and make them raw strings, but otherwise the function is unchanged. It should work exactly like the original function.
This template filter will split a string of text on newlines and return a string of <li></li>s with a newline before every line. This is handy for taking a paragraph of text and making an <ol> or <ul> from its lines. Don't forget to register your filter with the template library first or the filter won't work.
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.
Truncates a string after a given number of chars
Usage: `{{ price|dollarize }}`
This templatetag let's you output a form with select boxes instead of the ul's for filters. Uses some hacks to get the param names out of query strings. This would be a lot easier if filterspecs defined params instead of query strings (if filter tag would handle the encoding)
I couldn't find any code for a blog-style "Read more after the jump," so I made a custom filter. It will look for **<!--more-->** for the jump, like in Wordpress. In **settings.py** set **READ_MORE_TEXT** to what you want the text of the link to be. `READ_MORE_TEXT = 'Read more after the jump.'` When you call the filter in your template, pass it the absolute link of that entry. Of course, you have to have your **get_absolute_url** function defined in your model, but you should have that already, right? :P In this example **entry.body** is the content of the blog entry. `{% load blog_filters %}` `{{ entry.body|read_more:entry.get_absolute_url }}` If anyone has a better way to do this, it is, of course, welcome.
l = (1, 23, 60, 75, 3600, 36000) for n in l: print friendly_seconds(n) 00:00:01 00:00:23 00:01:00 00:01:15 01:00:00 10:00:00
Handy for things such as: `{{ some_string|slice:","|join:";" }}`
Disclaimer: I'm not the world's greatest programmer, so there may be better ways to do this, but it works for me (feel free to offer your improvements, though!). Basically, this will pad an integer with leading zeros and return a string representation. User it like this: {% forloop.counter|leading_zeros:"5" %} ...where "5" is the number of desired digits. In this case, if it was the 12th time through the forloop, the filter would return "00012". Why do this? Either for alignment, such as in tables, or for aesthetics -- for an example, see [Shaun Inman's comment section](http://shauninman.com/archive/2007/11/16/mobilesafari_view_source).
