Lets say your data is – data = {‘a’: [ [1, 2] ], ‘b’: [ [3, 4] ],’c’:[ [5,6]] } You can use the data.items() method to get the dictionary elements. Note, in django templates we do NOT put (). Also some users mentioned values[0] does not work, if that is the case then try … Read more
You cannot call a function that requires arguments in a template. Write a template tag or filter instead.
Compare date in the view, and pass something like in_the_past (boolean) to the extra_context. Or better add it to the model as a property. from datetime import date @property def is_past_due(self): return date.today() > self.date Then in the template: {% if listing.is_past_due %} In the past {% else %} {{ listing.date|date:”d M Y” }} {% … Read more
Within your template, you can use Django’s date filter. E.g.: <p>Birthday: {{ birthday|date:”M d, Y” }}</p> Gives: Birthday: Jan 29, 1983 More formatting examples in the date filter docs.

In the end, on prod it can be a CDN URL or a folder on different server. So try changing it to something like … Read more
Under your main views.py add your own custom implementation of the following two views, and just set up the templates 404.html and 500.html with what you want to display. With this solution, no custom code needs to be added to urls.py Here’s the code: from django.shortcuts import render_to_response from django.template import RequestContext def handler404(request, *args, … Read more
