I'm sorry to ask this again, but I tried several solutions from stack overflow and some tutorials and I couldn't create a custom template tag yet. All I get is ImportError: No module named test_tag when I try to start the server via python manage.py runserver.
I created a very basic template tag (found here: django templatetag?) like so:
My folder structure:
demo
manage.py
test
__init__.py
settings.py
urls.py
...
templatetags
__init__.py
test_tag.py
test_tag.py:
from django import template
register = template.Library()
@register.simple_tag
def test_tag(input):
if "foo" == input:
return "foo"
if "bar" == input:
return "bar"
if "baz" == input:
return "baz"
return ""
index.html:
{% load test_tag %}
<html>
<head>
...
</head>
<body>
{% cms_toolbar %}
{% foobarbaz "bar" %}
{% foobarbaz "elephant" %}
{% foobarbaz "foo" %}
</body>
</html>
and my settings.py:
INSTALLED_APPS = (
...
'test_tag',
...
)
Please let me know if you need further information from my settings.py and what I did wrong so I can't even start my server. (If I delete 'test_tag' from installed apps I can start the server but I get the error that test_tag is not known, of course).
Thanks
