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. Follow the instructions in the INSTALL file
2. Edit the settings.py of your Django project:

    # Add ``dbtemplates`` to the ``INSTALLED_APPS`` 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',
            'dbtemplates',
            'myapp.blog',
        )
    
    # Add ``dbtemplates.loader.load_template_source`` to the
      ``TEMPLATE_LOADERS`` list in the settings.py 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',
            'dbtemplates.loader.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...
