Passing an object

[arnolsalas]

Hi,

Is there a way I can pass a variable such as {{ object.url }} instead on the url string?

[chris-erickson]

Sorry, I don't understand the question. Please provide sample code or some examples of what you want and why the current implementation isn't sufficient.

Hi,

Apologies for the confusion.

In this example:
{% load youtube_thumbnail %}
img src="{% youtube_thumbnail_url 'https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dQw4w9WgXcQ' %}"

I would like to replace 'https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dQw4w9WgXcQ' with {{ object.url }} which is coming from a view.

I hope this makes sense.

Does the django with tag do what you need?

[arnolsalas]

No, the url variable is being rendered by a view.

[chris-erickson]

I'm not following how this would be a problem, you could set that context variable before the YouTube tag. {% youtube_thumbnail_url object.url %} might even work.

Thank you for getting back to me so quickly.

I tried it but it crashes....

[chris-erickson]

Sorry, I don't have any ideas then with such limited context. I recommend figuring out how to pass context variables around in templates from a view.

[arnolsalas]

Ok thanks.

Though I am passing context variables to the template all fine. The thing is that the app doesn't seem to recognise the variable and it only works with the actual url string.

Thank you for the patience!
