Rob,
You could use a middleware to do this, which runs before every view. Try and get a connection in there, and if it can't then forward to the 'no database' template. http://www.djangoproject.com/documentation/middleware/ The disadvantage is that you incur an extra SQL query for every request. If you need this because your database is unreliable I'd say you need to fix your database. If it's so you can do planned maintenance on it, I would still use the middleware, but check a settings variable instead, something like MAINTENANCE_MODE, which you change as needed. Then there is no database query. Regards, Graham. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.
