I'm building a CMS for my internal use... I own a web development &
desing company... we have experience in ASP.NET but I'm looking for
something more "ligth" and come to django... For people with deadlines:
that are we!
Despite the fact I see how django is productive in a lot of areas, I
get bloked in how somethings are done..
For example, the "feature" of not serve static files. The worst? I
don't can relly in the available workarounds to this "feature" (yeah I
put "feature" for be sarcasting... I understand the reason, the why,
but be patiente: I have a deadline too and this experiment is taking
more than expected!!)
I have the fallback of the serve static documentation... but this is
not working for me (0.95 + dev web server + win 2003)
And anyway this is not good for real work. So:
I have two desirable ideas:
1- Use a tag and inject the MEDIA_URL here: (I don't like the
suggestion to mess with the template system... to much code)
{% BaseUrl %}/css/sample.css
I put a templetetag/jhonWebInjector.py dir under my project, then under
my core app, then under my specific app.
I do this:
"Etiquetas estandar de jhonWeb."
from django.template import Node, NodeList, Template, Context,
resolve_variable
from django.template import TemplateSyntaxError, VariableDoesNotExist,
BLOCK_TAG_START, BLOCK_TAG_END, VARIABLE_TAG_START, VARIABLE_TAG_END
from django.template import get_library, Library,
InvalidTemplateLibrary
from django.conf import settings
import sys
register = template.Library()
class BaseUrl(template.Node):
def __init__(self):
pass
def render(self, context):
context['BaseUrl'] = 'uno'
return ''
def do_get_BaseUrl(parser, token):
"""
{% BaseUrl %}
"""
return 'uno'
register.tag('BaseUrl', do_get_BaseUrl)
and in the template:
{% load "jhonWebInjector" %}
{{ BaseUrl }}
But say:
'"jhonWebInjector"' is not a valid tag library: Could not load template
library from django.templatetags."jhonWebInjector", No module named
"jhonWebInjector"
However... this is a HACK. I don't like to say to my designers: Look
dude, I chose a development framework, and have this beautifull
template thing that break the use of any web desing editor like
dreamweaver or topstylebecause is necesary put this little hack, so you
not can see in realtime what is happening with your ... errr... desing
2- However, I'm thinking in the lines of the dotnetnuke people: This
tool have a "install template" thing that convert a .html template in a
.ascx module and put the rigth paths to the images and css and
javascript.
So, my ideas is do this way:
The way is done under a local environment, like topstyle:
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="../css/shadow.css" />
And do some magic to the response (where, how? a middleware?) to look
for paths with a regex, and auto-magically turn it in:
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css"
href="http://media.coolsite.com/files/css/shadow.css"; />
The 1) is a nice hack by now but I like to know if is possible do in
the fly the 2)
I think this is the way if is expected that normal web designers build
the front-end of the system...
I talk with my designers and think is not that bad use a "template
language" if that mean total freedom to desing (in contrast to *nuke
CMS, I mean). But is a total requeriment to see what is happening with
the css/images/etc.. in desing mode...
