Is there a "right" way to add and remove directories to TEMPLATE_DIRS on the fly? Is it right to do at all?
I tried to just add a directory, but realized that the settings are not per request, but per server thread, so that a directory added by one request is also there for the next request, which causes some trouble for me. My case: I am making a generic system for generating some playlists. Playlists for most channels look exactly the same, but some has small differences in how it should appear (e.g. they should not include a thumbnail for the video, or maybe the order of the data presented should be slightly different). I'm using a set of templates, each one for each part of the playlist, making it easy - in theory - to alter small parts of the playlist for each channel, simply by adding another template directory for the specific channel. But when the added directory is stored across requests, a playlist for Channel A might be generated with templates from Channel B if the template directory for the latter has been added to TEMPLATE_DIRS. My solution for now is adding the custom directory (if necessary), and then removing it at the end of the request, after the HTML has been generated. BUT! What happens then if 2 request hit the same server thread at the same time? Is there a risk of the second request getting the wrong templates (from the first request) if the first request has not yet removed it's directory from TEMPLATE_DIRS? Or are requests to the same thread queued and won't interfere with each other? -- Best regards, Mikkel --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.
