How to Apply Multiple Filters on a Django Template Variable?

Question

For me this works:

{{ game.description|safe }}

But this fails:

{{ game.description|safe|slice:"65" }}

Is there a way to apply two or more filters on a variable in Django templates?

Accepted Answer

Although it's quite past when the OP posted the question, but for other people that may need the info, this seems to work well for me:

You can rewrite

{{ game.description|safe|slice:"65" }}

as

{% with description=game.description|safe %}
{{description|slice:"65"}}
{% endwith %}

Answer 2

Is description an array or a string?

If it is a string, you might want to try truncatewords (or truncatewords_html if the description can contain HTML),

{{ game.description|safe|truncatewords:65 }}

(I'm new to Django so my apologies if slice works on strings.)

Answer 3

change

{{ game.description|safe|slice:"65" }}

to

{{ game.description|safe|slice:":65" }}

you are missing the colon

Answer 4

This may work:

{% filter force_escape|lower %}
    This text will be HTML-escaped, and will appear in all lowercase.
{% endfilter %}
