I've got a new home page and I'd like to test it's performance in getting users to sign up compared to my existing home page. In Django terms I have two templates that I would like my existing view to alternate between - I want to make whatever template the viewer sees "sticky" - they see the same template if they come to the page again - Also I want to measure how many users reach the conversion page - both these requirements will require access to the request's session object.
So basically I need to dynamically alter templates for existing views and record the relevant information on the session (and store the results somewhere) A couple ideas I've gone through: 1) Using a process_view Middleware to dynamically insert a template_name argument into views. This would seem to work but the function would have to accept a template_name parameter and not alter it inside to work. Also wouldn't work with FlatPages (or any other view that doesn't accept a template_name parameter). 2) Using a template_loader to dynamically load templates. This awesome because it would work with anything that uses template loaders. The problem with this is it doesn't seem like there is any time when you have access to the session object after the template_loader decides on the template name. You could always hack it onto a thread locals but I'd rather now. Does anyone have any other ideas or suggestions about how to dynamically show templates to users in a pluggable way while at the same time measuring what template the user sees?
