djangoplicity-caching-app-plugins 0.1.6

No project description provided

A fork of “django-app-plugins” which caches the results of the lookups, saving several db queries per page.

Requirements:

Django 1.2 or higher, tested up to Django 1.3.1

An exaple of usage is in the blog post http://coderseye.com/2008/app-plugins-example.html A shortened part of this is copied here:

In our base template, we just have to put this tag:

{% plugin_point "shop_sidebar" %}

And in our shop/__init__.py file, we set up the plugin point like so:

def shop_sidebar(point, context, user, *args, **kwargs):
    '''A section on the sidebar of the base screen'''
    return { }

register.plugin_point(takes_context=True, takes_user=True)(shop_sidebar)

Lastly, we add a new template at templates/wishlist/plugins/shop_sidebar.html

{% load i18n %}
{% if user.is_authenticated %}
<p class="wishlist">
<a href="{% url satchmo_wishlist_view %}">
{% trans 'Wishlist' %}
</a></p>
{% endif %}

A complete functional example and test app from http://coderseye.com/files/app-plugin-test.zip is unzipped to the directory app_plugins/test_app and little upgraded for compatibility with Django 1.3.

One application, which registeres a plugin point by app_plugins. (app “site”) One (or more) application which provide output to this plugin point without knowledge about app_plugins. (app “someapp”)

cd app_plugins/test_app
python manage.py syncdb
python manage.py runserver

Browse to http://localhost:8000/ All templates with names name_of_app/plugins/name_of_pluginpoint.html are combined together to the same plugin point . Applications can be added or removed without changing anything except INSTALLED_APPS.
