Templatetags for django-taggit.
Project description
This is a reusable django app which adds some templatetags to django-taggit.
Installation
Just install django-taggit-templatetags via pip:
$ pip install django-taggit-templatetags
After installing and configuring django-taggit, just add taggit_templatetags to your INSTALLED_APPS in your settings.py:
INSTALLED_APPS = ( ... 'taggit_templatetags', ... )
Usage
Now there are some templatetags enabled, at the moment only to create lists of tags and tag-clouds.
In your templates, you need to load taggit_extras:
... {% load taggit_extras %} ...
Taglists
After loading taggit_extras you can create a list of tags for the whole project (in the sense of djangoproject), for an app (in the sense of djangoapp), for a model-class (to get a list for an instance of a model, just use its tag-field).
For the tags of a project, just do:
{% get_taglist as tags %}
For the tags of an app, just do:
{% get_taglist as tags for 'yourapp' %}
For the tags of an model, just do:
{% get_taglist as tags for 'yourapp.yourmodel' %}
No matter what you do, you have a list of tags in the tags template variable. You can now iterate over it:
<ul> {% for tag in tags %} <li>{{tag}} ({{tag.num_times}})</li> {% endfor %} <ul>
As you can see, each tag has an attribute num_times which declares how many times it was used. The list of tags is sorted descending by num_times.
Inclusion-Tag
For convenience, there’s an inclusion-tag. It’s used analogue. For example, for a taglist of a model, just do:
{% include_taglist 'yourapp.yourmodel' %}
Tagclouds
A very popular way to navigate through tags is a tagcloud. This app provides some tags for that:
{% get_tagcloud as tags %}
or:
{% get_tagcloud as tags for 'yourapp' %}
or:
{% get_tagcloud as tags for 'yourapp.yourmodel' %}
respectivly. The resulting list of tags is ordered by their name attribute. Besides the num_items attribute, there’s a weight attribute. Its maximum and minimum may be specified as the settings section reads.
Inclusion-Tag
Even for the tagcloud there’s an inclusion-tag. For example, for a tagcloud of a model, just do:
{% include_tagcloud 'yourapp.yourmodel' %}
Settings
There are a few settings to be set:
- TAGGIT_TAGCLOUD_MIN (default: 1.0)
This specifies the minimum of the weight attribute of a tagcloud’s tags.
- TAGGIT_TAGCLOUD_MAX (default: 6.0)
This specifies the maximum of the weight attribute of a tagcloud’s tags.
If you want to use the weight as font-sizes, just do as follows:
<font size={{tag.weight|floatformat:0}}>{{tag}}</font>
So the weights are converted to integer values.
Thanks
Thanks to the python- and django-community, in particular to Alex Gaynor, the inventor of django-taggit and a wonderful guy to argue with.
