Template tags

General template tags

To use the template tags described in this section, you need to load the feincms_tags template tag library:

{% load feincms_tags %}

feincms_render_region:

feincms_render_content:

Some content types will need the request object to work properly. Contact forms will need to access POSTed data, a Google Map content type needs to use a different API key depending on the current domain etc. This means you should add django.core.context_processors.request to your TEMPLATE_CONTEXT_PROCESSORS.

These two template tags allow you to pass the request from the template to the content type. feincms_render_content() allows you to surround the individual content blocks with custom markup, feincms_render_region() simply concatenates the output of all content blocks:

   {% load feincms_tags %}

   {% feincms_render_region feincms_page "main" request %}

or::

   {% load feincms_tags %}

   {% for content in feincms_page.content.main %}
       <div class="block">
           {% feincms_render_content content request %}
       </div>
   {% endfor %}

Both template tags add the current rendering context to the render method call too. This means that you can access both the request and the current context inside your content type as follows:

class MyContentType(models.Model):
    # class Meta etc...

    def render(self, **kwargs):
        request = kwargs.get('request')
        context = kwargs.get('context')

feincms_prefill_entry_list:

See Prefetching data for a list of objects from the database.

{% load feincms_tags %}

{% feincms_prefill_entry_list queryset "authors,richtextcontent_set" [region] %}

feincms_frontend_editing:

Page module-specific template tags

All page module-specific template tags are contained in feincms_page_tags:

{% load feincms_page_tags %}

feincms_navigation:

Return a list of pages to be used for the navigation

level: 1 = toplevel, 2 = sublevel, 3 = sub-sublevel depth: 1 = only one level, 2 = subpages too

If you set depth to something else than 1, you might want to look into the tree_info template tag from the mptt_tags library.

Example:

{% load feincms_page_tags %}

{% feincms_navigation of feincms_page as sublevel level=2,depth=1 %}
{% for p in sublevel %}
    <a href="{{ p.get_absolute_url }}">{{ p.title }}</a>
{% endfor %}

feincms_parentlink:

Return a link to an ancestor of the passed page.

You’d determine the link to the top level ancestor of the current page like this:

{% load feincms_page_tags %}

{% feincms_parentlink of feincms_page level=1 %}

Please note that this is not the same as simply getting the URL of the parent of the current page.

feincms_languagelinks:

This template tag needs the translations extension.

Arguments can be any combination of:

• all or existing: Return all languages or only those where a translation exists
• excludecurrent: Excludes the item in the current language from the list

The default behavior is to return an entry for all languages including the current language.

Example:

{% load feincms_page_tags %}

{% feincms_languagelinks for entry as links all,excludecurrent %}
{% for key, name, link in links %}
    <a href="{% if link %}{{ link }}{% else %}/{{ key }}/{% endif %}">{% trans name %}</a>
{% endfor %}

feincms_translatedpage:

This template tag needs the translations extension.

Returns the requested translation of the page if it exists. If the language argument is omitted the primary language will be returned (the first language specified in settings.LANGUAGES):

{% load feincms_page_tags %}

{% feincms_translatedpage for feincms_page as feincms_transpage language=en %}
{% feincms_translatedpage for feincms_page as originalpage %}
{% feincms_translatedpage for some_page as translatedpage language=feincms_page.language %}

feincms_translatedpage_or_base:

This template tag needs the translations extensions.

Similar in function and arguments to feincms_translatedpage, but if no translation for the requested language exists, the base language page will be returned:

{% load feincms_page_tags %}

{% feincms_translatedpage_or_base for some_page as some_transpage language=gr %}

feincms_breadcrumbs:

{% load feincms_page_tags %}

{% feincms_breadcrumbs feincms_page %}

is_parent_of:

{% load feincms_page_tags %}

{% if page1|is_parent_of:page2 %}
    page1 is a parent of page2
{% endif %}

is_equal_or_parent_of:

{% load feincms_page_tags %}

{% feincms_navigation of feincms_page as main level=1 %}
{% for entry in main %}
    <a {% if entry|is_equal_or_parent_of:feincms_page %}class="mark"{% endif %}
        href="{{ entry.get_absolute_url }}">{{ entry.title }}</a>
{% endfor %}
