Given a youtube url (can copy and paste right from the browser) turns the url into an embedded video. If you put this in your app's templatetags/filters.py, you can do the following >{{ object.youtube_url|youtube }} and it would embed the youtube video.
Allows you to search if a user belongs to a given group. Along the same lines as snippet [390](http://www.djangosnippets.org/snippets/390/), but uses a regular ``if`` tag so it is more flexible. (Updated for efficiency. Running a boolean test on a QuerySet avoids a bit of unnecessary overhead.) (Updated to accept a list of groups.)
This tiny template filter saves you the tedious test "if this variable is set, print this text based on this variable". 'verbose' filter takes one parameter : a string containing '%s' which is a placeholder for the value to test. Check those examples : * Replace this : {% if name %} Hello {{ name }}, this is a dummy text {% endif %} * By this : {{ name|verbose:"Hello %s this is a dummy text" }} This is also usefull for HTML : {{ image|verbose:"<img src=\"%s\" />" }}
This is a simple URL based breadcrumb filter I'm using on a site I'm currently building. To use it, just throw the code into template-tag file, and simply pass the current url in a page template like so {{ request.get_full_path|breadcrumbs }} As an example of how to style it, wrap it in a unordered list with an id of breadcrumb, and then in your styles use #breadcrumb li { display: inline; }. On a contact form for a site user, this will produce something along the lines of you are here : [home](/) » [users](/users/) » [username](/username/) » contact form Hopefully someone may find it useful.
A Django image thumbnail filter, adapted from code by [Batiste Bieler](http://batiste.dosimple.ch/blog/2007-05-13-1/). This updated version drops support for cropping and just rescales. You should use it in your templates like this: `<img src='{{ MEDIA_URL }}{{ image.get_image_filename|thumbnail:"300w,listingimages" }}' alt="{{ image.title }}" title="{{ image.title }}" />` This will produce a 300-pixel wide thumbnail of image, with the height scaled appropriately to keep the same image aspect ratio. 'listingimages' is the path under your MEDIA_ROOT that the image lives in - it'll be whatever upload_to is set to in your ImageField. If instead you wanted an image scaled to a maximum height of 140px, you'd use something like this: `<img src='{{ MEDIA_URL }}{{ image.get_image_filename|thumbnail:"140h,listingimages" }}' alt="{{ image.title }}" title="{{ image.title }}" />` Note the number has changed from 300 to 140, and the trailing letter from 'w' to 'h'. Please leave feedback and bug reports on [my blog, Stereoplex](http://www.stereoplex.com/two-voices/a-django-image-thumbnail-filter). I've only lightly tested this so you'll probably find something!
Building on [jcroft's snippet](http://www.djangosnippets.org/snippets/17/), here's a slightly more advanced version which has two filters, one for basic text and the other for html snippets. Usage is like so: <h2>{{ blog_entry.headline|escape|widont }}</h2> {{ blog_entry.html|widont_html }} On top of Jeff's reasons for using these filters, they are important because they help keep one of [God's commandments](http://www.ebible.com/bible/NIV/Exodus+22%3A22). ;)
Django has several filters designed to sanitize HTML output, but they're either too broad (striptags, escape) or too narrow (removetags) to use when you want to allow a specified set of HTML tags in your output. Thus keeptags was born. Some of the code is essentially ripped from the Django removetags function. It's not perfect--for example, it doesn't touch attributes inside elements at all--but otherwise it works well.
This filter will display the time as word(s) indicating roughly the time of day ("Morning", "Afternoon", "Evening", etc). For example, the following template snippet: Posted in the {{ post.date|fuzzy_time }} of {{ post.date|date:"F j, Y"} }}. will result in the following (assuming `post.date == datetime.datetime(2007, 6, 13, 20, 57, 55, 765000)`): Posted in the evening of June 13, 2007. The terms used and breakpoints (hours only) can be rather arbitrary so you may want to adjust them to your liking. See the docs for [bisect][] for help in understanding the code. Just remember you should have one less breakpoint than periods and the first breakpoint falls at the end of the first period. The idea was inspired by [Dunstan Orchard][1], although the code is *very* different (php case statement). He uses quite a bit more periods in a day, so you might want to take a look.

Couldn't get the original to work, and wanted more functionality (scale on x or y coordinates) <img src="{{ object.image.url }}" alt="original image"> <img src="{{ object.image|thumbnail:"250w" }}" alt="image resized to 250w x (calculated/scaled)h "> <img src="{{ object.image|thumbnail:"250h" }}" alt="image resized to (calculated/scaled)w x 250h h "> <img src="{{ object.image|thumbnail:"250x200" }}" alt="image resized to 250wx200h "> <img src="{{ object.image|thumbnail }}" alt="image resized to default 200w (or whatever you default it to) format"> Original http://www.djangosnippets.org/snippets/192/ Adapted http://www.djangosnippets.org/snippets/955/ Sampled From: http://batiste.dosimple.ch/blog/2007-05-13-1/ http://vaig.be/2008/05/17/stdimagefield-improved-image-field-for-django/
This is a template filter to enable the use of the MEDIA_URL setting in content from the flatpages database table. It searches for {{ MEDIA_URL }} and replaces it with that found in your settings. Note: To set up, drop the above code into a file called `media_url.py` in your templatetags directory in one of your INSTALLED_APPS, and add the filter to your flatpages template like so: {% load media_url %} {{ flatpage.content|media_url }}
Very simple filter that returns one of the following by default: 1. \# days ago 2. yesterday 3. today 4. January 01, 2007 Example template code: This thread was started {{ post.date_created|dayssince }}. This thread was started today. E-mail sent: {{ email.date_sent|dayssince|capfirst }} E-mail sent: Yesterday Object created: {{ obj.date_created|dayssince|upper }} Object created: 12 DAYS AGO User's bogus birthday: {{ user.get_profile.bday|dayssince }} User's bogus birthday: April 20, 3030
Sometimes you need to filter foreignkey choices in admin interface, to objects created by user or meeting some other condition. In django 1.0 there is no formfield_for_foreignkey method in ModelAdmin class so we have to make a workaround. Here is the solution I have found to be the easiest for me.
Easy to use range filter. Just in case you have to use a "clean" for loop in the template. Inspired by [Template range tag](http://www.djangosnippets.org/snippets/779/) Copy the file to your templatetags and load them.

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.
Formats a number in the local currency format. E.g., if `foo` is equal to `49277`, then > ` {{ foo|currency }}` would print > `$49,277` If your locale is the U.S. You can use this filter in your templates as described in the [Django documentation](http://www.djangoproject.com/documentation/templates_python/)
