Hi All,
I don't understand why it's needs to be so complicated. When using a 'double'
template inheritance, e.g: base > base_products > product_add
There's only one place where you have to maintain some navlist html/css code.
This is where the 'active' attribute is maintained. So with multiple sections
like: product, customer, invoices youre hierarchy looks like this:
base.html
base_product.html (extends base.html)
product_add.html (extends base_product.html)
base_customer.html
etc ...
base_invoice.html
etc ...
This comes straight from the docs:
http://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/topics/templates/#id1
(See 'base_SECTIONNAME.html' about two screens down from there)
I personally dont' see the needs for loops and extra code. Or is my app to
simple ... :-)
Regards,
Gerard.
