What about

from culturethree.util.decorators import easy_tag

???

Oops, thanks for pointing that out.

Thanks! I was just about to do something similar.

Thanks, very handy. Just a note, I had to change line 40 to:

    path += "?%s" % get.urlencode()

to get things to work correctly in the presence of QueryDicts with multiple values for the same key.

You need to have the request context processor.

TEMPLATE_CONTEXT_PROCESSORS = (
...
'django.core.context_processors.request',
...
)

class AppendGetNode(template.Node): def init(self, d): self.dict_pairs = [] for pair in d.split(','): k, v = pair.split('=') self.dict_pairs.append((k, template.Variable(v)))

def render(self, context):

    for k, v in self.dict_pairs:
