Link TemplateTag that checks for permissions and url address

This template tag was built to be used in web applications that are permission based. It renders the html for an html link tag if the user has permissions to access the view (if not, returns an empty string). It also checks if the current token is the active url address and, if so, adds class="active" to the html link for presentation purposes. Example usage: 1. {% url home as home_url %} {% get_link_if_allowed home_url "Home" %} 2. {% url project_dashboard project.id as project_dashboard_url %} {% get_link_if_allowed project_dashboard_url "Projects" %}
