Hey there,

I spent a little time getting this code integrated into my project - and thought I might share the changes I needed to perform to get it working - for all those copy-and-pasters (like myself).

I did have one question for anyone who might be able to answer it. I haven't spent much time modifying this code - however I noticed that it only creates as many td tags as you have elements in your sequence. For instance - if I have 6 elements and have set the maximum columns set to 5 - how do I get the second row to print those extra 4 td tags that are missing from the element? It doesn't seem to be affecting anything negatively right now - however I'm not sure it's valid.

Anyway, to get this code running:

  1. create a templatetags directory in your application folder (not project)

  2. Add an __init__.py file in your templatetags directory

  3. Create a new .py file in the templatetags directory with the above code in it (comment out the html in the above code - after ##Sample usage:)

  4. Add the following to the top of the file:

    from django import template

    register = template.Library()

  5. Change Nodes to template.Nodes and all instances of NodeList() to template.NodeList()

  6. In your django template page use {% load imageTable %} where 'imageTable' is the name of the file you created in step one

Now everything should be solid

cannot make it work for me.

As a quick, simple way to make a table I added a custom template filter for modulo of an integer:

(add to .../mysite/myapp/templatetags/myapp_tags.py)

from django import template
register = template.Library()

@register.filter
def mod(value, arg):
    return value % arg

and then it's very easy in the template to make a table with n elements per row with a simple for loop by seeing if ( for_loop.counter modulo n ) is zero, and if so make a new table row:

{% load pictures_tags %} #(<-this loads your custom filter)

<table>
<tr>
{% for pic in pic_list %}
  <td>
  <img src="{{pic.source}}" />
  </td>
  {% if not forloop.counter|mod:5 %}
    </tr><tr>
  {% endif %}
{% endfor %}
</tr>
</table>
