Hi,
while writing my first website in Django I ran into troubles with
passing variables in my inherited templates. Let me describe my
templates' structure.
I have a base template for all applications' templates which includes
some parts - just to divide the code into smaller parts.
My goal is to pass a variable (which will be different for every view
in every app) to a template included in base template (which is
inherited by my app's view's templates). I considered using a custom
context processor but since every view will have its own value of the
variable, it seems to be a bad idea.
-- base.html ------------------------------------------------------
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="pl">
{% include "base_head.html" %}
<body>
{% include "base_login.html" %}
{% include "base_header.html" %}
{% include "base_menu.html" %}
{% block content %}
<p>Default content...</p>
{% endblock %}
{% include "base_footer.html" %}
</body>
</html>
-------------------------------------------------------------------
-- base_footer.html -----------------------------------------------
{{ app_variable }}
<div class="container_12 footer-links">
<div class="grid_12">
<p>
<a href="#">Link</a>
<a href="#">Link</a>
<a href="#">Link</a>
</p>
</div>
</div>
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Now, in one of my app's view I set the app_variable and render the
app's template.
-- views.py -------------------------------------------------------
def read(request, news_id):
news = get_object_or_404(News, pk = news_id)
app_variable = 'foo'
return render_to_response('news_read.html', { 'news': news,
'app_variable': app_variable }, context_instance =
RequestContext(request))
-------------------------------------------------------------------
-- news_read.html -------------------------------------------------
{% extends "base.html" %}
{% block content %}
<div class="container_12">
<h2>{{ news.title }}</h2>
{{ news.introduction|safe }}
{{ news.content|safe }}
</div>
{% endblock %}}
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Now, what should I do in order to have the app_variable in base_footer
template's context?
I'd be grateful for your help and advice.
