TG2, changing template at runtime

[Sergei Beilin]

While working on Pyramid CMS, I did not find a short way to change a
template right inside the controller method. The method is @expose()'d
with some default template, but there is a chance that (depending on
the object fetched from the database) we will want to change it (after
we fetch the object; for example, imagine that the template name is
stored in the database). How does one accomplish this (I remember
there was a siple way in TG1.x?)

Thanks in advance!

hi sergei,

i'm using the following code:

from tg import expose, validate, override_template

......

@expose()
def list(self, page_id, blob_type):
template = "genshi:tgext.pages.templates.admin.page_%s_list" % blob_type
override_template(self.list, template)

Hello Alex!

> from tg import expose, validate, override_template

Wow, override_template was *that* keyword (I was googling for
"changing template" or something like that)

Thanks!

p.s. Do You use XMPP/Jabber?

Oops! This *does*not* work for the RestController? ;)
It just does not change the template (but works nice for a
BaseController for example)
:(

hehe! It was caused by `@without_trailing_slash` standing *before*
`@expose`: just changed the order of the decorators and it worked.
