Django custom template tags: 'str' object has no attribute 'notification_set' -

Django custom template tags: 'str' object has no attribute 'notification_set' -

while defining custom template tag acts on top level base.html (not app-level base) running issue query executes fine on shell.

for example,

from django.contrib.auth.models import user u = user.objects.get(pk=3) u.notification_set.filter(viewed=false).count() # returns 1 expected

however, in template tag gives me unusual error

attributeerror @ /mynotes/ 'str' object has no attribute 'notification_set'

. have manage.py , here custom template tag:

./app/templatetags/mytags.py

from django import template register = template.library() @register.simple_tag(name="unread") def get_unread(user): homecoming user.notification_set.filter(viewed=false).count()

./templates/base.html

{% load mytags %} ... {% unread request.user%}

edit: ./app/models.py

class notification(models.model): message = models.textfield() notification_for_user = models.foreignkey(user) viewed = models.booleanfield(default=false) ...

got it. changed

{% unread request.user %}

to

{% unread user%}

and works. +10 explain error.
