New to Django, but certainly not web development. After being pleasantly surprised with a lot of the available Django filters I was rather surprised not to see a string truncation filter included.
A little googling shows I'm not the only one, there are tons of people writing their own filters to accomplish this, and sure enough a nice looking patch submitted two (TWO!) years ago to add a |truncate. I'd be curious to hear what the reason for not accepting this patch is. String truncation is a pretty common task, and having it built in seems like a no-brainer. For your reference, here's the ticket and patch: <http://code.djangoproject.com/ticket/5025> Thanks, -Nic -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django developers" group.
