Could not parse the remainder Django

Question

I\'ve been trying to write a custom template tag to shorten links with bitly, I\'ve attached the code and error I\'ve been getting below. I\'ve tried to look into the docume

Answer 1

There is an alternative way to cause this error:

Instead of:

{{ data|filter }}

If you use:

{{ data | filter }}  <!-- Note Spaces -->

The spaces on either side of the | character will cause an exception during page render.

Answer 2

The error is on this line:

<p>{{ bitlyshort "http://www.google.com" }}</p>

Template tags use {% ... %} (template filters use {{ ... }}). Try:

<p>{% bitlyshort "http://www.google.com" %}</p>
