Generic template; determining information about calling view/app

[David]

Hi

Sorry if this is confusing, it's the best I can describe.

I have been separating my templates for inheritance clarity. I have a generic template 'category_list.html'. This can be used by different apps because the layout is the same.

What I need to do in order to use appropriate links in the template is to find out:

a) the name of the application calling it

b) the namespace of the application url so I can use a dynamic {% url %} tag

Firstly, I guess, is this possible?

Yes, I can inherit the templates further and pass info directly from the views, but the creation of extra templates just for these 2 things seemed like I was doing something wrong.

Many thanks for any assistance.

Hello,

I wrote a middleware[1] for my old blog engine; here, view_func.__module__ is the app’s name. It is not really sophisticated, though, but it may provide a good start.

About the URL namespace, I don’t think it’s easy to do. An app doesn’t have a namespace; you can include an url definition file multiple times with different namespaces.

Best,

Gergely
