templatetags - Django template tags with same name -

for example have 2 templatetags

app1       templatetags           app1_tags.py               def custom_tag()   app2       templatetags           app2_tags.py               def custom_tag()   

if load in template both templatetags

{% load app1_tags %} {% load app2_tags %} 

i have 2 tags name custom_tag. how can use them in template? must rename them?

i know not best solution depending on needs can helpful.

this only works if apps made or if overwrite template tags

this option give different names each tag:

app1_tags.py

@register.filter(name='custom1') def custom_tag():     # code 

app2_tags.py

@register.filter(name='custom2') def custom_tag():     # code 

usually if register tag without telling name, django use function filter name, if passes arg 'name' when registering filter, django use templatetag name.

django: custom template tag

if give them different names when register tag, name use load tags

{% load custom1 %} {% load custom2 %} 

you need customize name of 1 of them, can use original name of other

import tag under different name

as @igor suggested, option import template want use name, let's alias avoid conflict between different tags/filters same name.

assumming want import tag project should add tag like:

your_app/template_tags/my_custom_tag

to import tag app2 on app different name need add file my_custom_tag:

from app2.template_tags.app2_tags import custom_tag  register.filter(name="new_custom_tag_name", custom_tag) 

after have imported tag custom_tag project new name new_custom_tag_name
