Using a top level variable in datatable template about django-datatable

[kkostenko]

ok I figured it out. Needed some customization for tags, 'p' is a variable passed from top level template to the rendered table:

class SpecialTableNode(TableNode):
template_name = "s_table.html"

def __init__(self, table, platforms):
    self.table = template.Variable(table)
    self.p = template.Variable(p)

def render(self, context):
table = self.table.resolve(context)
table_context = Context({'table': table})
p = self.p.resolve(context)
t = template.loader.get_template(self.template_name)
return t.render(context)

=== custom tag =====
@register.tag
def render_s_table(parser, token):

try:
    tag, table, platforms = token.split_contents()

 except ValueError:
    msg = '%r tag requires a single arguments' % token.split_contents()[0]
    raise template.TemplateSyntaxError(msg)
return SpecialTableNode(table, p)

==== top level template =====
{% render_s_table table p %}
