Hi, whats about extending? for example base.html? Could this be a way to solve your problem? http://stackoverflow.com/questions/671369/django-specifying-a-base-template-by-directory A live example and pretty cool explanation can be seen in this screencast(s): http://showmedo.com/videotutorials/series?name=PPN7NA155 (The mentioned project is not available anymore but the principles are pretty clear explained. I think extending is shown in episode 3.) good luck TR > > -- > You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups > "Django users" group. > To post to this group, send email to django-us...@googlegroups.com. > To unsubscribe from this group, send email to > django-users+unsubscr...@googlegroups.com. > For more options, visit this group at > http://groups.google.com/group/django-users?hl=en. > > -- --- http://thoreg.org --- -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.
