Hello everyone -

I wondered if anyone had insight on a Model for site-wide "global"
options.  I am thinking of a place to store: site title, site meta,
site description, specific global links (twitter, facebook, etc),
support contact email, etc ... The model itself doesn't seem too
complicated, maybe:

class GlobalOptions(models.Model):
    opiton = models.SlugField('Machine Readable Option
Name',max_length=50,unique=True)
    value = models.TextField('Option Value')
    # more fields could be included, of course (date_created, description, blah)

My question, though, is about how to easily get these new "options"
into a template tag.  So that I could simply do:

{{ globaloptions.optionname }}

And it would return the value for that option or, if the option didn't
exist, it would return nothing.  I have been looking around for a way
to do this and coming up blank -- I am new to both Python and Django,
so I'm sure the answer is there, I just don't know where/how to look
for it.

Any insight would be great!

Damon
