I implemented two solutions for this problem. The first one is the solution
already said here: create a template context processor that inserts a
variable in context with the name of the base template ("base.html" for
normal requests and "base_ajax.html" for ajax requests).
The second one is a bit more complicated. I created a new template tag based
in the {% extends %} that ships with django. The template tag receives the
name of the base template and substitutes ".html" with ".xhr" if the request
is an ajax request. For example: if the template name is "base.html" and the
request is normal, then it will extend the "base.html". But if the request
is ajax, then it will extend the "base.xhr".
I'm thinkin about creating a post in my blog talking about this template
tag. What do you think?
