Database template loader for Django
===================================
This is a basic database template loader for Django which uses a m2m
relationship to provide a site centric template loading.
How to use it in your own django application
============================================
0. Get the source from the subversion repository
1. Copy the "template" directory to your django project directory
2. Edit your settings.py:
# Add ``myapp.template`` to the ``INSTALLED_APPS`` where "myapp" is the
name of your django project
# Check if ``django.contrib.sites`` and ``django.contrib.admin`` are in
``INSTALLED_APPS`` and add if necessary
It should look something like this:
INSTALLED_APPS = (
'django.contrib.auth',
'django.contrib.contenttypes',
'django.contrib.sessions',
'django.contrib.sites',
'django.contrib.admin',
'django.contrib.flatpages',
'myapp.blog',
'myapp.template',
)
# Add ``myapp.template.loaders.database.load_template_source`` to the
``TEMPLATE_LOADERS`` where "myapp" is the name of your Django project
It should look something like this:
TEMPLATE_LOADERS = (
'django.template.loaders.filesystem.load_template_source',
'django.template.loaders.app_directories.load_template_source',
'myapp.template.loaders.database.load_template_source',
)
3. Sync your database via shell (hint: "./manage.py syncdb" within project dir)
4. Restart your Django server
5. Go to the admin interface and add templates by filling the ``name`` field
with filename like identifiers, for example "blog/entry_list.html"
6. Use it with ``Flatpages``, ``Generic views`` and your own custom views
What? Hm, doesn't work here. || Aaah nice, BUT...
