Tendenci is built on a Django Framework in the Python web language and your website's theme templates have a number of dynamic content features that utilize Tags, Filters, Models, and Views based on Django. This Help File is for advanced web developers and designers and will show you how to access your website's Template Tag documentation to further customize dynamic views, filters, and more.
You can find more information on tags by referring to the auto-generated Django docs at: yourdomain/admin/doc/tags/.
