Template - Python, Tags, example

[rvernica@…]

Hi,

I tried the example in the documentation page "The Django template language: For Python programmers" ​http://www.djangoproject.com/documentation/templates_python/ section "Writing custom template tags" and I get errors.

1. When I use the tag I like:

{% current_time "%Y-%M-%d %I:%M %p" %}

I get:

Exception Type:  	TemplateSyntaxError
Exception Value: 	current_time takes 1 arguments

If I remove the spaces within the string argument:

{% current_time "%Y-%M-%d%I:%M%p" %}

it does not give this error.

2. In the "Shortcut for simple tags" case, I get:

Exception Type:  	AttributeError
Exception Value: 	'str' object has no attribute 'contents'

The error comes from line:

tag_name, format_string = token.contents.split(None, 1)

token variable is an empty string.
I use it with:

{% current_time "%Y-%M-%d%I:%M%p" %}

Thanks,
Ray

Urgh. So many errors. :-( I'll fix it.

(In [3308]) Fixed #2320 -- corrected numerous errors in the custom tag examples in
python_templates.txt. Also fixed an argument parsing error for such tags.
