This is what templatetags are for. In particular, inclusion tags are well-suited to this: they're basically a way of encapsulating code to render a template fragment, including any database logic, which you can then embed in any other template. See: http://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/howto/custom-template-tags/#inclusion-tags And James Bennett did a great post on these a few years ago: http://www.b-list.org/weblog/2006/jun/07/django-tips-write-better-template-tags/ -- DR. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.
