Hello,
Is there an easy way to create template variables and functions
without modifying the site urls?
Perhaps in mezzanine_tags or something?
A variable like
{{ mezzanine.my_app.my_variable }}
would be fine.
Is this what page can help with? I want to use these variables in my
custom theme.
thank you,
I think what you might be looking for is to create your own setting, and
then use it in a template, right?
http://mezzanine.readthedocs.org/en/latest/configuration.html
Basically:
In your app, create a defaults.py, and use register_setting() to create
the variable you want.
It can be editable in the admin if you like, or just configurable via
settings/local_settings.py
Then you'll need to update TEMPLATE_ACCESSIBLE_SETTINGS so that your new
setting is listed there,
making it accessible within templates.
And then you should be able to just reference {{settings.variable}} in
any template that has mezzanine_tags loaded.
For example, I have in my app's defaults.py:
register_setting(
name="SOCIAL_FACEBOOK",
description="Link to Facebook Page. Include http prefix.",
editable=True,
default="",
)
register_setting(
name="TEMPLATE_ACCESSIBLE_SETTINGS",
append=True,
default=("SOCIAL_FACEBOOK",),
)
And then in my base.html:
{% load mezzanine_tags ... %}
...
{% if settings.SOCIAL_FACEBOOK %}
<a href="{{ settings.SOCIAL_FACEBOOK }}">Facebook</a>
{% endif %}
So this allows me to add a link to my Facebook page in the admin
(Settings section) and have that link show up on every page of the site
via the base.html template.
Seeya. Danny.
