One useful Django template tag is to retrieve the template filename from inside the template. Unfortunately, Django built in tags do not provide one for this. However, you can write a simple tag to accomplish this. Here's are two tags, that return either the base filename or the full filename. from django import template register = template.Library() @register.simple_tag(takes_context=True) def basefilename(context): '''Returns filename minus the extension''' return context.template_name.split('.')[0] @register.simple_tag(takes_context=True) def fullfilename(context): '''Returns full filename with the extension''' return context.template_name To be complete, tthere should be another tag that returns the filename with its entire path. But I haven't figured out how to do this -- at least from within the confines of the template tag framework.
