What’s that

django-siteblocks is a reusable application for Django introducing blocks of static data (also known as flatblocks) that could be used in templates. These blocks are rendered in templates dependant on current URL.

Requirements

1. Django 1.1+

2. ‘Admin site’ Django contrib package

How to use

1. Add the ‘siteblocks’ application to ‘INSTALLED_APPS’ in your settings file (usually ‘settings.py’).

2. Run ‘./manage.py syncdb’ to install siteblocks table into database.

3. Go to Django Admin site and add some site blocks.

4. Add ‘{% load siteblocks %}’ tag to the top of a template.

5. Add ‘{% siteblock “myblock” %}’ tag where you need it in template. Here ‘myblock’ is the alias of a block. NB: You can always put into quotes a template variable.

Use ‘{% siteblock “myblock” as myvar %}’ tag notation to put block contents into ‘myvar’ variable instead of rendering.
