Hello,
I searched on the forums here and it appears that the suggested solution
for accessing a layout file is to create links (hard links or soft links?).
I have two questions in this regard:
(i) Is this solution robust to changes in where the application is hosted?
Would the links works regardless of whether I have it hosted on EC2, or
dotcloud, or pythonanywhere etc.
(ii) Is it possible to do this using the {{extend ...}} command? If so, I
would appreciate an example.
For example, suppose I am in application called *participants *and I want
to use the layout file in application *myadminapp *(in *myadminapp* the
layout file is in views/default/). I tried doing the following, but none of
these work.
{{extend URL(a='myadminapp', c=' ', f='views/default/mylayout.html')}}
results in /myadminapp/ /views/default/mylayout.html
{{extend URL(a='myadminapp', f='views/default/mylayout.html')}} results in
/myadminapp/default/views/default/mylayout.html
I also tried:
{{extend '/myadminapp/views/default/mylayout.html'}}, which gives the
following error:
<type 'exceptions.IOError'>([Errno 2] No such file or directory:
'/myadminapp/views/default/mylayout.html')
This *error is strange* because there does exist an application *myadminapp,
*with folder views with folder default with file mylayout.html.
Thanks.
