afaik clickatell can receive sms messages on your behalf and trigger
some sort of callback to your server. not sure how it works though.

can you share some other service names, not necessarily cheaper but
with a decent api like clickatell has?

template macros are not that much about programming. it's about
bringing DRY to templates since without macros you often have to
repeat the same HTML again and again.

i'm indeed biased as in my last project we used TAL template engine
which has a decent support for macros (but many serious problems in
other areas hence i'm not keen to drop the native django template
engine in favour of TAL. yet).

i'll explore jinja a bit more. that could be the way to go.

what's the reasoning behind not having and not planning to have macros
in django templates? they look like a very useful construct compliant
with DRY to me.

Template Macros Like In Jinja

2008-01-21 Thread Papalagi Pakeha

hi there!

i wonder if there is any way to have Macros in django templates
similar to what Jinja has (http://jinja.pocoo.org/)?

the closest i could get was using 'include' tag and have the
repetitive content in a standalone file, but it's pretty obscure to
have a separate file for each little bit of content that to be
repeated here and there.

is there any other way other than switching to Jinja to get some sort
of macros in django templates?

thanks

papa
