kg - Nothing special about it I don't like, it's just that I find the
HAML/GHRML
syntax very clean and readable. It's a matter of taste, I suppose :)
Emm - I've looked at Mako, though it doesn't look too far off from
normal
template HTML **at first glance** (I'm sure I've barely skimmed the
surface).
I've played a bit with GHRML and saw the problems you were talking
about with
render_to_response. This was a relatively easy fix (I'm no expert). I
just
used this in my views and settings:
# views.py ###########################################
from django.shortcuts import render_to_response as render_normal
## import ghrml
from ghrml.ghrml_django import render_to_response as render_ghrml
def hello_normal(request):
name = 'django template'
return render_normal('normal.html', { 'name' : name })
def hello_ghrml(request):
name = 'ghrml template'
return render_ghrml('ghrml.html', { 'name' : name })
# settings.py ###########################################
import os.path
TEMPLATE_DIRS = (
os.path.join(os.path.dirname(__file__), 'templates').replace('\
\','/'),
)
# add the ganshi templates path
GENSHI_TEMPLATE_DIRS = (
os.path.join(os.path.dirname(__file__), 'temp').replace('\\','/'),
)
This is basically all the necessary configuration (other than
installing ghrml),
and I was able to use both template languages in my views.
Haml has gathered quite a crowd in the RoR community, and from
personal
experience it's well worth the hype. If I figure out more stuff with
GHRML,
I'll post to this thread.
Thanks!
