Template tags

Misago defines plenty of custom tags and filters for use by template authors.

misago_absoluteurl

{% absoluteurl %}

This tag accepts same arguments as default `

tag from Django, except it uses theMISAGO_ADDRESS` setting to render the absolute URL suitable for using in e-mails.

misago_batch

There are situations when you want to slice list of items in template into sublists, e.g. when displaying grid of items in HTML it makes more sense to split iteration into two steps: iteration over rows and items in each row.

misago_batch provides two simple and lazy filters that enable you to do this:

{{ itemslist|batch:4 }}

Takes one argument, integer individual batch's length, then turns big list into list of lists.

{% load misago_batch %}

{% for row in user_profiles|batch:4 %}
    <div class="row">
        {% for profile in row %}
            <div class="col-md-3">
                {% include "card.html" %}
            </div>
        {% endfor %}
    </div>
{% endfor %}

{{ itemslist|batchnonefilled:4 }}

Works same as batch filter, but with one difference:

If last batch length is shorter than requested, it fills it with None to make it requested length.

{% load misago_batch %}

{% for row in user_profiles|batchnonefilled:4 %}
    <div class="row">
        {% for profile in row %}
            <div class="col-md-3">
                {% if profile %}
                    {% include "card.html" %}
                {% else %}
                    &nbsp;
                {% endif %}
            </div>
        {% endfor %}
    </div>
{% endfor %}

misago_capture

{% capture as NAME %}{% endcapture %}

Captures part of template to variable that may then be displayed many more times.

There is also trimmed flavour `

` that trims captured template part before assinging it to variable.

misago_dates

{{ item.posted_on|compact_date }}

Filter that formats date according to format defines in MISAGO_COMPACT_DATE_FORMAT_DAY_MONTH setting if date is in current year, or MISAGO_COMPACT_DATE_FORMAT_DAY_MONTH_YEAR if not. Defaults to "7 may" for same year dates and "may '13" for past years dates.

misago_forms

{% form_row form.field labelclass fieldclass%}

Takes form field as its first argument and renders field complete with label, help and errors. Accept two extra arguments: label class and field class, allowing you to control size of horizontal forms:

{% load misago_forms %}

{% form_row form.somefield %}
{% form_row form.otherfield 'col-md-3' 'col-md-9' %}

{% form_input %}

Takes form field as its only argument and renders it's input.

misago_json

{{ frontend_context|as_json }}

Turns value into json string. Perfoms additional escaping on < signs so </script> are not interpreted as HTML resulting in XSS.

misago_shorthands

{{ 'this is outputed'|iftrue:test }}

Shorthand for simple if clauses: {{ "fade in"|iftrue:thread.is_closed }} will render fade in in template if thread.is_closed evaluates to True.

{{ 'this is outputed'|iffalse:test }}

Opposite to iftrue. Outputs value if test evaluates to False.
