A library to load data from database to template
Project description
Django Template Data
Why?
You are working on a Django project and you want a way to update some strings or blocks without using a bare CMS or a WYSIWYG. Then this small module is for you. It does what you expect, load datas from database and send them via the context to the templates.
Installation
$ pip install django-template-data
Usage
Add 'template_data' in INSTALLED_APPS
INSTALLED_APPS = [
...,
'template_data',
...,
]
Then add load_data() to templates context processors
TEMPLATES = [
{
'BACKEND': 'django.template.backends.django.DjangoTemplates',
'DIRS': [],
'APP_DIRS': True,
'OPTIONS': {
'debug': True,
'context_processors': [
...,
'template_data.processors.load_data',
],
},
},
]
Finally migrate
$ python manage.py migrate
Tutorial
Let say you want a dynamic title, loaded from the database. First create a base template like this:
{% load i18n %}
<!doctype html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
<!-- Required meta tags -->
<meta charset="utf-8">
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1, shrink-to-fit=no">
<link rel="shortcut icon" href="/static/front/img/favicon.png" type="image/x-icon">
{% block full_title %}<title>{% block title %}{{ title }}{% endblock %} - Sitename</title>{% endblock %}
...
Go to your Django admin to manage TemplateData model. Create two rows, with these
values:
key = "title", page = "index", value = "Home"
key = "title", page = "signin", value = "Login in your account"
As you can imagine the title of the index page will be "Home - Sitename" and
for the signin page will be "Login in your account - Sitename"
You surely noticed how we appended "- Sitename" to the title in the template.
We can do the same by using the inheriting feature.
First we define this template:
{% load i18n %}
<!doctype html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
<!-- Required meta tags -->
<meta charset="utf-8">
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1, shrink-to-fit=no">
<link rel="shortcut icon" href="/static/front/img/favicon.png" type="image/x-icon">
<title>{% block title %}{{ title }}{% endblock %}</title>
...
Then create three rows of TemplateData with these values:
key = "title", page = "global", value = "Sitename"
key = "title", page = "index", inheriting_page = "global", value = "Home - {{ super }}"
key = "title", page = "signin", inheriting_page = "global", value = "Login in your account - {{ super }}"
You will have the same result.
