How do I put multiple apps on one page/template?
Just use both apps in the same view::
from django.models.polls import polls
from django.models.blogs import entries
def my_view(request):
return render_to_response("template_name", {
"poll_list" : polls.get_list(),
"entry_list" : entries.get_list(),
}
Thanks. But isn't this going to violate the DRY principle?
I'm thinking of the example where I have things that I want to appear around
the perimeter of every page on my site representing the output of numerous
independent apps. This would seem to leave me with two choices:
1) Replicate the same code across a lot of different views in different apps.
2) Built a mega-view that is called for every url pattern in which it is
decoded what was really requested and then calls the various views.
Neither of those sound like good options.
Any insight appreciated,
Michael
