Thanks Tom
I went for option 2. Here's what I've done so far, works ok at the
moment, will need some tidying up and caching.
geturl.py in my mytags/templatetags folder
from django import template
from django.template import Library, Node
register = Library()
class GetUrlNode(Node):
def __init__(self, url, varname):
self.url, self.varname = url, varname
def render(self, context):
from urllib2 import urlopen
html_as_string = urlopen(self.url).read()
context[self.varname] = html_as_string
return ''
def get_get_url(parser, token):
bits = token.contents.split()
if len(bits) != 4:
raise TemplateSyntaxError, "get_get_url tag takes exactly three
arguments"
if bits[2] != 'as':
raise TemplateSyntaxError, "third argument to get_get_url tag
must
be 'as'"
return GetUrlNode(bits[1], bits[3])
get_get_url = register.tag(get_get_url)
mega-menu.html templates/shared that gets called into the base.html
with an include
{% load geturl %}
{% get_get_url URL_of_HTML as rendered_html %}
{% autoescape off %}{{ rendered_html }}{% endautoescape %}
Getting there, slowly :-)
