However, it's not clear that you really *do* want to use a separate view for each piece of output. In that case you need to write views that structure their output by making calls on function imported from the various apps, each of which renders the appropriate small portion of the final page, or provides the information tho be inserted into that part of the template. You might also want to look into ContextManager objects, which are a way of providing information to all pages. A slightly fuller description of your intended page structure might let people provide more accurate answers to your needs. regards Steve -- Steve Holden +1 571 484 6266 +1 800 494 3119 Holden Web LLC http://www.holdenweb.com/ --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.
