But this is the way to go - IMO - I don't see what's wrong with subclassing
(are you afraid of perfomace overhead?), you need a way to differentiate
those pages from the others...
For instance, you can do the convention to start the pages with some prefix
(like "login_") and then check at some place (the template or template tag
or maybe view) if the slug starts with the prefix then use another template
or render the login. But this is not worth the hassle: you will need to
hack on several places and you will end with your codebase obscured. There
are even "darker" ways of doing it... :)
Instead:
# On models
class PageWithLogin(Page, RichText):
class Meta:
verbose_name = _("Page with Login")
verbose_name_plural = _("Pages with Login")
# On admin
class PageWithLoginAdmin(PageAdmin):
fieldsets = deepcopy(PageAdmin.fieldsets)
admin.site.register(PageWithLogin, PageWithLoginAdmin)
and then you create "pagewithlogin.html" template which extends the
richtextpage with the login form.
Then you can create those pages from the admin and arrange them in the
"tree" just as regular pages.
