eugene: thanks for the links. it´s really hard for me to explain what i want - i tried it yesterday with a code-example, but didn´t get an answer (so i thought i try a different approach and relate to templavoila, although that might give the wrong impression).
basic idea: building a site with one (or more) main-template(s), content-boxes (= sub-templates with placeholders for content-elements) and content-elements (= outputting data from a database). you should be able to move and delete content-boxes (with or without the content-elements) and content-elements, and - of course - add them. a content-element could be a film-description with an image on the left side on one page or just a featured film-title on another page (in both cases, i just want the site-editor to change the film-ID for changing the element). i´m dealing with this problem for quite a while now, but - surprisingly enough - there doesn´t seem to be a nice solution. hopefully, somebody here knows better than me. some related comments from the rubyonrails-wiki: 1. Allowing content items to be units smaller than a page and referenced as a graph would allow the most flexibility, but it also appears very complicated. 2. Also essential is that the same ContentObject can be rendered differently in different places. Referenced as a graph would be the best way to do this. TemplaVoila of Typo3 is a good start, but suffers from lack of a global render context, and is (almost) strictly a tree. patrick > > http://typo3.org/doc.0.html?&tx_extrepmgm_pi1[extUid]=1332&cHash=d739966bdd > > http://www.mcuniverse.com/TemplaVoila_-_Cheat_Sheet.1221.0.html > http://www.mcuniverse.com/TemplaVoila_-_Public_Demo.1708.0.html > > > "Jacob Kaplan-Moss" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote in message > news:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > > On Nov 17, 2005, at 10:21 AM, patrick kranzlmller wrote: >> id like to do something similar to TemplaVoila (used within Typo3). i >> dont like Typo3 at all, but their concept of "Futuristic Template >> Building" is really good, i think. if anyone has an idea of how to >> implement this functionality with django, please let me know. > > URL? > > Jacob > > >
