How can I create a global variable so Kid can use it?
I had the same problem with variables which I wanted to go into the
site's headers in master.kid some of the time. I don't know if this is
the "right" way to do it, but the way I got around this was to create a
header decorator in my controller:
def header():
"""Header-filling decorator."""
def decorator(func):
def newfunc(self, *args, **kw):
r = func(self, *args, **kw)
if not r.has_key('albumID'):
r['albumID'] = ''
if not r.has_key('pageTitle'):
r['pageTitle'] = ''
r['pageTitle'] = 'Shoot - ' + str(r['pageTitle'])
return r
newfunc.func_name = func.func_name
return newfunc
return decorator
And then use it on anything which output to html. You could do the same,
except tossing in your globals instead of default values like I'm doing.
