Trouble getting templates to work in Django project

[saadatqadri]

@stevenschobert this is an amazing library!
I'm having some issues getting templating to work with Instafeed in a Django project. I followed the directions on the site, and I can get the basic setup working. However, when I try to add the template option as suggested, the and tags are empty in my rendered Django template.

Strangely enough, this works on codepen: http://codepen.io/anon/pen/bNVepr

Any help would be great appreciated!

Hey @saadatqadri! Sorry to hear you're having issues.

My initial impression, is that you are experiencing something similar to #41, where Django already has the curly-brace {{ }} syntax reserved.

To work around this, either pull your JavaScript code into a separate file (out of your html template), or set your template string ahead of time:

{% with instafeedTemplate="<a href='{{link}}'><img src='{{image}}' /></a>" %}     
<script type="text/javascript">
    var feed = new Instafeed({
        get: 'tagged',
        tagName: 'awesome',
        clientId: 'YOUR_CLIENT_ID',
        template: '{{instafeedTemplate}}'
    });
    feed.run();
</script>
{% endwith %}

@stevenschobert thanks! I had a feeling it had something to do with django's template.

For reference, {% verbatim %} also works.

Ah, good to know! Thanks!
