Hi,
Is that code all that's in your model classes, or just an excerpt? If you
don't already have a __unicode__() method defined on your model, I think
that would cause the problem you are referring to. That method would be
called by Django in various places, wherever it needs to represent a model
Thanks for weighing in, that is helpful, and last night I was playing around
with a somewhat similar approach. It's not exactly what I was hoping for,
because it still isn't really integrated with the way Django uses template
loaders.
This solution works for TEMPLATE_DIRS and INSTALLED_APPS, bu
Thanks for the reply. Yes, this wouldn't be too tough if the directories in
TEMPLATE_DIRS were all I had to worry about, but the glitch I mentioned earlier
is that Django can also look for templates in places other than those listed
explicitly in that setting.
For example, the template loader
Sorry... I think that's a little more complicated than what I need,
actually. Django already handles searching for the template in all the
right locations, so I don't have any problem actually rendering the
template, and I shouldn't need to worry about absolute paths. Here's a
simplified bit of cod

Sorry, this question is turning out to be much more difficult to articulate
than I originally expected. Thanks for bearing with me. ;)
You definitely have the right idea of what I'm trying to do -- the only
problem with this method is that Django looks for templates in multiple
places, so I don't
Sorry to be unclear... Basically the functionality I want is just like
in contrib.flatpages -- the model has a field called 'template' that
allows the user to specify an alternate template for the object detail page.
But in the flatpages app, the field is just a charfield, so the user has to

Right, I understand the loader works this way… What I'm trying to do is
generate a list of 'choices' for a model field that populates itself
automatically with available templates in a given directory, that works
regardless of whether the specified directory is on a template path specified
in t
Thanks, I think that gets me most of the way there, but the part I'm having
more trouble with is figuring out how to deal with the other template loaders,
such as 'django.template.loaders.app_directories.Loader', that don't pull from
the 'TEMPLATE_DIRS' setting. I'd like the solution to take tho
Hi all,
An app I'm working on has a model that, similar to the Flatpages app model, has
a "template" field to allow users to specify an alternate template for
displaying the object detail view.
What I'd like to do though is to make this a choice field that pulls its
options dynamically from a
