Yup, just don't mind getting insulted. Since Magus is helping a lot of
people, the least others can do in return is to make him feel good.

^:)^ to Magus

Re: Best Practices in Implementing Mini-Content Boxes Across the Site

[Israel Dacanay Canasa]

Bruno,

Thanks a lot!

I didn't know that Django will include the templatetags of all apps  
mentioned in settings.py. I thought that templatetags are included  
only within the context of the current app accessed by the browser.

Now everything looks clearer, and I feel that I just got out from  
being a newbie, because this information gave me an idea on how to do  
almost all the things that I want for my project.

Thank you so much!

Israel Dacanay Canasa
