Hi all,
For sometime, I was thinking of a flexible yet easy to manage CMS for
creating wiki-like pages. That is:
- content and presentation of each page should be defined freely and
independently almost as free as in plain HTML documents when needed
- common blocks of content and templates should be defined and re-used
- content from separate django applications should be accessible from
within the templates (usually considered bad design, I know, but I
need the power of view functions in the templates in some rare cases)
Would it be a good idea to define each page as a separate template and
solve this with template tags?
For example, we may have a "section" custom template tag which takes
the parameter that tell it which template to use with which parameters
like that:
{% section info_box title:"hello" body:"important information" ... %}
{% section photo_with_details photo:photo.get(id=1) %}
Then section tag, loads the info_box or photo_with_details template
and render it with the given variables and returns the rendered HTML
snippet.
Another alternative to this approach may be implementing an xml
syntax:
<section template="tmpl1">
<title>hello</title>
<body>what's up?</body>
</section>
or accessing the model methods:
<section template="photo_thumbs">
<photo_object>photo.objects.filter(tag='europe')</photo_object>
</section>
Do you think this approach will be beneficial in some cases and worth
giving a try to implement?
Thanks,
oMat
