General

Django Filters

Filters allow you to modify the output of a field. Filters can be added with a pipe at the end of a field and then the filter name with an optional colon and arguments.

articles.release_dt|date:"M d, Y"

Filters can be linked like |escape|truncatewords:30. See Django Filters Docs for the full list.

• date - specify the date output.
• safe - Print out actual HTML instead of the elements.
• truncatewords - Only print a certain number or words
• urlize - Converts a link to an anchor link

Common Arguments

Arguments allow you to modify the list of items that comes back. They are optional but are used often for most content lists. For instance, you may only want to show 4, or you might want them ordered a certain way. Arguments are added at the end of the first line of the template tag like such:

{% list articles as articles limit=5 tags="featured" q="tendenci" order="release_dt" %}

The arguments below are used on all template tags:

• user= searches based on permissions of the logged in user. The default is a logged out (anonymous) user.
• limit= limits the number of items in the list. The default is 3.
• tags= seaches based on the tags on the items. Note, some apps do not use tags.
• q= searches as a search term for a full text search of the items

These arguments are currently used on select apps only:

• order= lets you select the order of the items
• random pulls a random group of items. You do not need to pass an addition value (like random=something) as random works on it's own.

Arguments work together, so if you have tags="featured" and limit=100, you may not get 100 items if there are not that many tagged with "featured". Random will pull from the possible total and cutoff at the limit. If there were 20 items tagged "featured", the limit was 5, and random was used, then 5 of the 20 items would be returned in a random order.
