Common tags

A set of simple template tags for Django. Feel free to override templates for inclusion tags (while templates provided are ready to use too). This fork of django-meio-easytags - https://github.com/drtyrsa/django-meio-easytags - is required.

render_form (inclusion tag)

Renders a form:

{% render_form form [method='post'] [submit_text=''] [action=''] class_name=[''] id=[''] [no_csrf=0] %}

Template used: render_form.html

Arguments:

• form - form object to render
• method - method attribute of <form> tag. If equals to 'inner' <form> tags and submit button are not rendered.
• submit_text - a text on submit button. If there is no submit_text provided, a button is not rendered.
• action - action attribute of <form> tag
• class_name - class_name attribute of <form> tag
• id - id attribute of <form> tag
• no_csrf - if evaluates to True, csrf token is not rendered.

render_field (inclusion tag)

Renders a form field.:

{% render_field field %}

Template used: render_field.html

Arguments:

• field - a field to render

field_label (inclusion tag)

Renders a field's label. If the filed is required, renders an asterisk after:

{% field_label field %}

Template used: field_label.html

Arguments:

• field - a field with a label to render

submit_button (inclusion tag)

Renders submit button with given text. If no_fieldset evaluates to False, <button> tag is surrounded by <filedset> tag.:

{% submit_button text [no_fieldset=0] %}

Template used: submit_button.html

Arguments:

• field - a field with a label to render
• no_fieldset - if evaluates to False, <button> tag is surrounded by <filedset> tag.

render_messages (inclusion tag)

Renders a messages list:

{% render_messages messages %}

Template used: render_messages.html

Arguments:

• messages - messages list to render

smart_date (filter)

Converts given datetime to human(Russian)-readable format.:

{{ today_date|smart_date }} -> outputs time, e. g. '12:34'
{{ yesterday_date|smart_date }} -> outputs 'Вчера'
{{ this_year_date|smart_date }} -> outputs e. g. '23 февраля'
{{ not_this_year_date|smart_date }} -> outputs e. g. '23.02.1988'

page_title (tag)

Outputs given string and saves it {{ page_title }} context variable. The variable will be accessible from in every template block. There is a common task to output page title in <title> tag and in <h1> tag. This tag allows to solve this task DRY and clean.:

{% block title %}
    {% page_title 'Contacts' %}
{% endblock %}

{% block content %}
    {{ page_title }}
{% endblock %}

This code will output 'Contacts' twice.
