Okay, so my original post was a bit vague, but I'll have another stab
at explaining.
------ Start example code
--- /blogs/models.py
...
class Blog(Model):
title = CharField(maxlength=60, core=True, unique=True)
tagline = CharField(maxlength=250, blank=True)
theme = CharField(maxlength=len("antidisestablishmentarianism"))
slug = SlugField(prepopulate_from=("title",), core=True, unique=True)
def __str__(self):
return self.title+": "+self.subtitle
class Admin:
pass
...
--- /urls.py ---
from django.conf.urls.defaults import *
from django.conf import settings
urlpatterns = patterns('',
(r'^admin/', include('django.contrib.admin.urls')),
(r'^blogs/([_A-Za-z0-9-]+)/', include('bloghost.blogs.urls')),
)
--- /blogs/urls.py ---
from django.conf.urls.defaults import *
from discussium.forum.models import *
urlpatterns += patterns('bloghost.blog.views',
*bunch of views*
)
--- /templates/blogs/base.html ---
{% extends "base.html" %}
{% block head %}
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="/styles/{{ blog_theme
}}/ie.css" />
{% endblock %}
{% block title %}{{ blog_name }} - {% block title2 %}{% endblock %}{%
endblock %}
------ End example code
So now every template needs to have blog_theme and blog_name passed to
it. This is fair enough for views, which just take blog_slug and then
pass it to a function like this at the end:
def response_with_blog_info(blog_slug, template, context):
blog = get_object_or_404(Blog, slug__exact=blog_slug)
context = context + {
"blog_name": blog.name,
"blog_theme": blog.theme,
}
render_to_response(template, context)
Fair enough, there's no real repetition there. However, what about
when I want to use generic views? I could use extra_context, couldn't
I? Well, no, because extra_context doesn't know about the blog_slug,
so it doesn't know which blog it's on.
Sorry for the vague first post, I hope this helps people understand my problem.
Thanks,
Frankie.
(All the code here is merely example code to illustrate my point and
is probably riddled with errors.)
(Incidentally blog_slug sounds kind of disgusting, seriously, just try
saying it.)
