Lorem ipsum template tag

Description

Hello, everybody knows the "Lorem ipsum ..." text usually used to test templates. Wouldn't it be good to have a django built-in variable which displays this text. I have to test lots of templates and pasting this text in and deleting later is silly work. You could use it if you declare some blocks in your "base.html" and fill them with "Lorem ipsum" per Default, so that everybody can see how a template looks and works. I think it would be best if this placeholder is only displayed in DEBUG-mode.

here is an example of what i mean:

<body>

{%block content %}{{ placeholder }}{{% endblock %}

</body>

instead of

<body>

{%block content %}content goes here{{% endblock %}

</body>

Sounded fun, so I did it. Doesn't currently do the "only displayed in DEBUG-mode." request, so push it back if this was part of accepted decision.

  • status changed from closed to reopened.
  • resolution deleted.

Doesn't look like django.utils.lorem_ipsum was checked in. Can a committer fix this please?

03/29/07 17:18:28 changed by adrian

I'd prefer this tag to be in django.contrib rather than being a built-in tag. It's nice, but it's not fundamentally necessary. I'll make that change.

Just an FYI for SmileyChris?: In the attached patch, some of the functions in the lorem_ipsum.py module define variables whose names are the same as the functions themselves. Although it works, it's kinda sketchy, so I'm changing the internal variable names.

Bother. I didn't have a good night with this ticket... :-)

It looks like Adrian is picking up the ball on this one. I'll leave him to it.

Thanks, I'll avoid that in the future.
