03:58.16herlosontek: you ever used flatpages for anything?
03:58.20herlotristanbob: k
03:58.30tristanbobherlo, I used them for making paper airplaines
03:59.16herlotristanbob: no you didn't!  Those are pieces of paper, this is software!
04:24.16sontekherlo: yeah
04:24.19sontekherlo: what you trying to do?
04:24.37sontekherlo: all you have to do is hook up the flatpages middleware and mark it as an installed app
04:26.13undertakingyousontek: ping
04:26.21sontekundertakingyou: hi!
04:28.01undertakingyousontek: so I just had a strange thought.  Why does sontek use linux?
04:28.01undertakingyouoh, and are you having a good day?
04:28.39herloldskjfdslkfjdsflkj
04:28.50DexterTheDragonbless you
04:29.07sontekundertakingyou: i'm having a pretty good day :)
04:29.26herlostupid qworst!
04:29.28sontekundertakingyou: so are you wondering how I got started in Linux, or why I use Linux even though I work in a windows shop?
04:29.33herlothey f*#$Ding suck!
04:30.01undertakingyouherlo: wow, not even regular f*#$ing
04:30.29herlosontek: I'm just trying to find an easy way to list all of the flatpages in a flexible way.  it seems template_tags are the way
04:31.08sontekherlo: If you want to list them in multiple pages, then you'll need a template tag
04:31.12herloundertakingyou: yeah, for the past hour I've been fighting with net connectivity
04:31.22sontekherlo: but all you need to do is pull the list from the db and loop through it
04:31.54herlosontek: sure, but I was thinking of having it load into the base.html
04:32.55herlosontek: any simple_tag code examples you can throw my way?
04:34.01sonteka template tag is just a simple python method, just like a view
04:34.25herloyeah, I was looking at it, but it seems there's some sort of node and render functionality I have to write
04:34.43herloI'm missing something, I've written template filters before, they seem pretty easy
04:34.50sontekhttp://rafb.net/p/pRW4yd52.html
04:34.55sontektheres 2 tags I wrote
04:34.59herlok, tx
04:35.07sontekdo you want a filter or a tag?
04:35.38sontekhttp://rafb.net/p/uS6eiw56.html
04:35.47sontektheres 2 filters you can learn from
04:36.18herloright, so the inclusion tag you reference there must be a separate template?
04:36.41sontekyeah
04:36.48herlohmm
04:36.56herloI guess that'll work
04:37.00sontekwell, the 2 of them don't need separate templates
04:37.08sontekbut the template tag does need a template
04:37.19herlowell, for instance, I already have the stuff written in a pre-existing template, can I use that?
04:37.29herloits the base template
04:38.19sontekyou'd move the logic to the template tag template
04:38.31sontekand then you'd call it like  {% show_random_tips %}
04:38.58herloright, okay.  That's what i was hoping for, pretty easy then
04:39.02herlotx
04:39.10herlo~buy sontek beer

05:02.52herlogah!
05:05.00herloI think I foudn it, stupid me
05:08.23herlok, maybe not
05:11.27whiteingeis there a __init__.py in the templatetag folder? (that one _always_ gets me)
05:12.23herloyes
05:12.30herloI thought that was it at first
05:12.57herloI thought it was also related to the location of the templatetags dir
05:13.07herlobut that doesn't seem to matter either
05:13.16herloits a very simple template too
05:13.16whiteingewhere is it?
05:13.27herlowell, its currently in common/templatetags

05:17.04herlowhiteinge: you always suggest that and then I find the problem.  I wish I could remember to try that stuff... lets see...
05:18.24herlohow would one go about doing that in the shell?
05:20.07whiteingetry something like ``from yourconmandir.common.templatetags import yourtagname``
05:20.40whiteingeOh, did you remember to ``{% load yourtagfilename %}`` in the template?
05:20.46herloyes
