How to prevent Django from localizing IDs in templates?
with django 1.2:
data-id="{{ form.instance.id|stringformat:'d' }}"or, with django 1.3:
{% load l10n %}{% localize off %} data-id="{{ form.instance.id|stringformat:'d' }}"{% endlocalize %}or (also with django 1.3):
data-id="{{ form.instance.id|unlocalize }}"
This doesn't really answer your question but check out this section of the docs. It says to use {{ |unlocalize }} filter or:
{% localize on %} {{ value }}{% endlocalize %}{% localize off %} {{ value }}{% endlocalize %}There's probably a better way but I'm thinking that you could write a method that gives you the id as a string in your model for each model you are trying to display the id in a template.
class MyModel(models.Model): pass def str_id(self): return u'%s' % self.idin your template:
{{ form.instance.str_id }}
