Hello, I need a view to return plain/text and I came up with the following code:
from django import http from django.views.generic.base import TemplateResponseMixin from django.views.generic.list import ListView from django.views.generic.detail import DetailView from django.conf import settings class PlainTextResponseMixin(TemplateResponseMixin): def render_to_response(self, context): return super(PlainTextResponseMixin, self).render_to_response( context, content_type='plain/text; charset=%s' % settings.DEFAULT_CHARSET) class PlainTextListView(PlainTextResponseMixin, ListView): pass class PlainTextDetailView(PlainTextResponseMixin, DetailView): pass meant to be used as follows (for example): url(r'^v/(?P<slug>[-\w]+)\.bib$', cache_page(PlainTextDetailView.as_view( model=Publication, template_name='academic/publication_detail.bib')), name='academic_publishing_publication_detail_bibtex'), Questions: 1) If I don't add `charset=%s' % settings.DEFAULT_CHARSET` the default charset is not honored. Why? 2) could I do better or with less code? For instance, with function-based views, all I had to do is pass a `{'mimetype': 'text/plain'}` kwarg to `object_list` Thanks. -F -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.
