Question

Recently I switched my templating engine from default to Jinja2/Coffin. Everything works just fine but I’m having troubles trying to use Django/Jinja2 django-paging (http://linux.softpedia.com/get/Internet/HTTP-WWW-/django-paging-58496.shtml) extension in my project.

There is an example how to use this extension with Jinja:

{% with paginate(request, my_queryset) as results %}
   {{ results.paging }}
   {% for result in results.objects %}
       {{ result }}
   {% endfor %}
   {{ results.paging }}
{% endwith %}

Simply, I don’t know where and how to define this new tag paginate to be recognized by Jinja2 engine.

I tried to put is in settings.py as:

JINJA2_EXTENSIONS = (
    'paging.helpers.paginate',
)

but the error is raised:

paginate() takes at least 2 arguments (1 given)

Any help is appreciated.

Ok, problem solved. The paging application should be added into INSTALLED_APPS (settings.py)
