Please, is there any way of doing this? I've dumped the last approach,
I'm planning on using inclusion tags to query the database, but the
templates would still need to know the slug of the hostee's current
page. So generic views don't work because they don't know what the
blog_slug is, as it is I'm not replacing the generic views with my
own, not very DRY, but hey. To be honest I feel this is a bit of
failing in django and may file a bug, not sure how it would be
corrected to be honest though.
