In this case, I think I'll be fine, as the templates that would match
any of these patterns just contain public, static content, nothing
dynamic. However, I will definitely keep the code snippet for future
use!
Thank you to all who have replied, I really appreciate your help and
guidance as I get
Just a quick word of warning: You're now essentially passing
unfiltered user input directly into the template loader. Depending on
what content you have in your templates, this may imply a security
risk. For instance, if you have a template that hard-codes any secure
information, such as system ac
Gotcha. Very, very cool. Here's what I did. Please tell me if there's
a better way:
#in views.py
def return_template(request, template):
return direct_to_template(request, (template + '.html'))
#in urls.py
from django.conf.urls.defaults import *
from rdk.pages.views import return_template
u
That wouldn't be return template((template))), it should be just the
view's name, not actually calling it, and your wrapper function needs
to take request, and pass it along to dire3ct_to_template

I understand the concept of that, but I'm having an issue with
importing the view function into my urls.py. Here's what I have so
far:
#in views.py
from django.views.generic.simple import direct_to_template
def return_template(template):
return direct_to_template(template % '.html')
#in url
Yes, instead of having it use a generic directly in the urlconf, you
would have it go to the view, the view would do what you
need(specifically doing that simple substitution), and then have it
return django.views.generic.simple.direct_to_template, remember views
are just functions, if you need an
Hi Alex,
Thanks for the advice. Still being new to Django, where would such a
wrapper function need to exist? In the views.py? models.py?
I'm guessing it would need to be something along the lines of:
def replace_template_var(template):
return template % '.html'
? Please advise,
Brandon

Direct_to_template does not substitute the template var in to the
template param, you will need to write a simple wrapper to do
something like this.

Ah. I see now. It's matching the first part of the URL, but it doesn't
seem to want to substitute the named parameter as
(template) as such:
(r'(?P[-\w]+)/$', direct_to_template, {'template' : '%
(template)s.html'}),
Thanks,
Brandon
