I am also in a very similar situation to you, Will (nice name btw).
I have a 2 level hierarchy in an ajax-y fashion.. It's easier to show
than describe: http://beta.willboyce.com/blog (if it fails to load and
you care enough, try again in a few mins - "beta" ;-))
In order to mark the current section/subsection I wrote all my views
to expect an "extra_context" parameter (meaning generic views would
work), which contains "section" and "subsection" vars - these are
added by middleware (process_view()) - and the header is build in a
base.html using pretty simple templating:
<ul id="nav">
{% for s in sections %}
<h2{% ifequal section s.slug %} class="selected"{%
endifequal %}><a href="{{ s.get_absolute_url }}">{{ s.title }}</a></
h2>
{% endfor %}
</ul>
I have a nav app which has a Section model and some ajax views, which
I could see no way to do but hard code (if section=x and
subsection=y... hardcoded sections/subsections)
I don't know - it works but it doesn't feel like the most elegant
solution. Especially with the middleware/adding context to views (this
is my first django project btw!)
Hope this helped.. And any comments would be more than welcome :-)
Regards, Will Boyce
