How to prevent Django from finding Ids in the template?

Question

I’m using Django 1.4 with path (L10N) enabled, which causes the numeric values in the template to be formatted: 1.234,56. The problem is that every time I put one ID in the template, for example:

data-id="{{ form.instance.id }}"

It is rendered as:

data-id="1.234"

Obviously if that ID goes to a request ajax, the ID is not found at the base because it is not a value int valid. I I can avoid this behavior using |safe or |unlocalize, but in some places, for example in admin, i do not have this access (would be necessary to change Django), for example:

<a href="{% url opts|admin_urlname:'changelist' %}{{ original.pk }}">{{ original|truncatewords:"18" }}</a>

It is possible to make Django not find Ids in a generalized way?

Answer 1

You can disable locating in only one value:

{% load l10n %}
{{ value|unlocalize }}

Or you can disable it at some point in the template:

{% load l10n %}
{% localize off %}
    {{ value }}
{% endlocalize %}

Answer 2

You could use the

def __str__(self):
    return self.id

OR

def __unicode__(self):
    return self.id

And use the class itself as a string. It’s not the ideal way, but it would work.

{{ form.instance }}

About Admin, it is possible to create custom templates if necessary, but I imagine that it is not necessary, Django should assemble the forms and work properly even with internationalization enabled.

Answer 3

You can avoid this numeric formatting using the template tag safe:

Entree:

data-id="{{ form.instance.id|safe }}"

Exit:

data-id="1234"

Reference: https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.8/ref/templates/builtins/#safe

I just don’t understand why you are having problems with admin. At first it seems like you are customizing. It then says that the problem occurs as if it is not changing anything in the admin template.
