Hi,
I am trying to follow the DRY principle. For the navigation of my site I
want to have a single template. My problem is that I need a way to
change the class of the nav links depending on what page is currently
being visited.
I want to try and do something of this sort: In my template do a ifequal
current path to the path the nav links to than this will have the class
of nav_here. All the other nav links will have a class of nav_regular.
(The specific names of these classes doesn't matter.)
On the django IRC channel someone suggested that I use a Context
Processor to do this. I am not completely sure how Context Processors
work but I tried anyways.
In my settings.py I have:
#Context Processors
TEMPLATE_CONTEXT_PROCESSORS = (
'binarymanipulations.context_processor',
)
In the directory binarymanipulations I have a context_processor.py file
with:
#Context Processors should live here
def CurrentPath(request):
return {'current_path': request.path}
My views.py is:
# Create your views here.
from django.shortcuts import HttpResponse
from binarymanipulations.blog.models import Entry
from django.template import Context, loader, Template
from binarymanipulations.context_processor import CurrentPath
def index(request):
entries = Entry.objects.all().order_by('-pub_date')
t = loader.get_template('blog/blog_list.html')
c = Context({
'posts' : entries
})
return HttpResponse(t.render(c))
I don't know how to pass the context processor with HttpResponse so my
template can do the ifequal. If someone can send me in the right
direction it would be glorious.
