It sounds like you're interested in one of two things: 1) template inheritance: you can define a base template that has the skeleton of your site (headers, and the above-mentioned side-bar with categories), and then other templates can use this as the base for their content. http://www.djangoproject.com/documentation/templates/#template-inheritance 2) template tags: these abstract away chunks of rendering logic that can be reused. http://www.djangoproject.com/documentation/templates_python/#writing-custom-template-tags Most likely, you want #1 for your purposes. Just make sure that the variables used to render each your templates are put in the context that's passed to the template. -tim --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.
