Hi! My questions is about "the right way to do it" in Django: I have a simple message board with two columns: news on the left, the board itself (input form and messages list) on the right. In fact, this are two different applications presented in one page. It seems natural to have a template with <div id="news"> on the left and <div id="board"> on the right and some elegant way to direct the output of corresponding apps into these two placeholders.
Of course, it can be done with simple AJAX trick, but what confuses me a lot here is that I can't find a simple server-side way to do it in Django - only template inheritence and those block which are not what I need I suppose. In general, it seems to me that Django doesn't want you to think about page as of set of independent rectangular areas with independent rendering and behaviour (call the components or widgets, whatever) and it seems very strange because at first this is the common way to think about it in UI programming (compare with Mason e.g.) and at the second jango has this beautifull apps concept that maps so great on the idea of UI components. Can you correct me and whats your ideas about it?... regardz, Ilya. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.
