Django: Nested variables in templates

Question

In one of my django login templates, I have a line:

<input type="hidden" name="next" value="{{ next|default:'{% url jobseeker_home %}' }}" />

And when I view the source code of the HTML page generated, I get the following for the above template line:

<input type="hidden" name="next" value="{% url jobseeker_home %}" />

Unfortunately, the {% url jobseeker_home %} is not being resolved. How can I solve this?

Thanks

Variables can be declared within a Django template:

{% url jobseeker_home as home_url %}
<input type="hidden" name="next" value="{{ next|default:home_url }}" />

awesome. I didn't know you could do that!

@Jerzyk: yes, I changed the variable name halfway through but didn't finish the job. Fixed.
