accessing the request query when rendering content

[Hervé Cauwelier]

Hi,

I first set up a good old Django view with a URL like "/myobj/1" but I
couldn't reuse the LFC portal template with tabs, templates, etc.
Obviously they are missing from the template context.

So I set up a BaseContent with the object id as a query parameter ("?id=1").

But I can't access request to get the value back.

The template basically looks like:

<h2>{{ lfc_context.my_obj.title }}</h2>

And in the model of the object being published:

def my_obj(self):
id = ... something...
return MyObj(id=id)

Portals would do what I want for example:

def render(self, context):
request = context.get('request')
id = request.GET['id']

Is there some way to get the request being published when rendering
content views?

In the end, a recipe to combine basic django views and the LFC portal
template would be appreciated. Maybe by reusing lfc.views.base_view?

Thanks,

Herv�

In the meantime I found the "portal" view just above the latter.

I just had to copy the code because I wanted to change the template and
the context.

A slight modification like this one could avoid code duplication :

def portal(request, obj, template_name="lfc/portal.html", **kwargs):
"""Displays the the portal.
"""
context = {
"portal" : lfc.utils.get_portal()
}
context.update(kwargs)
return render_to_response(template_name, RequestContext(request,
context))

It's not perfect since portlets at the root level are not rendered but
it will do for now.
