Hello *Eduardo*!
*Thanks* for the detailed answer.
Now here is the thing When I said that I was extending from *Displayable *That
was supposed to mean that I'm inheriting abstract model in my Custom
content type. I can create items in database using *admin-site *and I've
know a hefty amount about Django ORM. I know what displayable provides in
that case. But what I was hoping for a similar method to access data in
django template as in Docs You can access data of custom fields in model
extended from *Page.*
{{ page.some_model.title }}
{{ page.some_model.slug }}
{{ page.some_model.custom_field }}
What I got from your answer is there is no way to access data in django
template of model which is inheriting Displayable as it is not in context.
Only way to get that data is to use custom urls, views and templates. It's
like just getting some basics but implement almost everything to get data
from db (on url parameters or something). Then pass it as context to
template response along with django template just like Blog.
Actually Our old app uses mezzenine but inherits everything from *Page*.
And using that we can easily access data using page in context in django
template. But that does seems wrong to create everything as page. But what
I understood that If I were to fix it I will have to write all those urls
and views by myself.
If I understood something wrong please help. Also I do have another
question so if I have model inheriting *Displayable* and now I need info
from that model in pages other that specific pages provided by custom urls
and views. how would I do it. For *Example* I need 3 recent blog posts on
home page. So how would I access them. Would I have to write custom View
for Home page and if so then I'm just overriding Home page default view as
it is *RichTextPage* at this point.
If anything seems confusing I would be happy to provide further information.
Help is highly appreciated.
