I need some help with how to approach a particular problem. I am new to Django (but not to web application development), and while I can think of several ways to solve this problem, I wanted to get some input from the Django community as to the "correct", or most "Django" way to solve it.
Here's the situation: I have created a conference registration system that will be able to handle people management and registration for multiple conferences; access to each conference is dictated by the URL, like so: http://conferences.tamu.edu/OR07/ http://conferences.tamu.edu/ABC08/ http://conferences.tamu.edu/XYZ07/ Currently there is only once conference active. The goal is to allow for a base HTML template that is shown at conference.tamu.edu, and that once you navigate "one layer down", into a specific conference, you will see a different look-and-feel, as determined by an HTML template. Since the main data will not change (and it fairly generic), I was thinking of having defined "snippets" of HTML, like a header, footer, sidebar, etc, that would be replaceable. Of course, an alternative method (like actual template files) would be acceptable, too. Here are some additional constraints: + Ideally, I would like the template changes to be optional; that is, if there is no file that defines a special header (or footer, etc), then the default header (or footer, etc) is used. + Also, it would be best if the HTML snippets that defined the special look and feel could be editable through the Admin interface, and not only through the filesystem (I don't want to give filesystem access to the users managing the conferences). + Lastly, it would be cool if a URL could be provided that returned the HTML snippet for the particular section, rather than just storing HTML directly (this is the most expendable item). So, any suggestions? Thanks in advance for the input... --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.
