Thanks for your quick reply. Yes, this is also what I found, so I was quite
shure that my code will never work. What I try to do is to render a list of
database objects. But not only on one page but on different pages and with
slightly different designs in each of the lists. So my plan was, to avoid
writing individual templates for each list, to create one base template for
the general appearance of such list items and only adapt blocks on each
individual list.
Explained the other way around, how would I render a template.html which
needs a database object in a for loop and which extends a base_template
html?
Hope I achieved to explain the problem well enough...
