Root Cause

Calling methods with parentheses in template is not allowed; use method name without parentheses.

generic

中文

模板中不允许带括号调用方法；应使用不带括号的方法名。

Workarounds

  1. 95% success 
    Use {{ user.get_full_name }} without parentheses.
  2. 85% success 
    Create a custom template filter: {{ user|full_name }}

Dead Ends

Common approaches that don't work:

  1. 90% fail

    Adding parentheses in template is invalid syntax; Django templates don't support function calls.

  2. 80% fail

    Using eval or exec in template is unsafe and not supported.
