Hi All,
I have to include a dynamic page content into my template, Say I have a left panel which gets the data dynamically through a view. Now, I have to include this left panel into all my pages but I do not want to duplicate the code for all the pages. Is there any way, I can write a single script and include it in all my templates to display the left panel in all my pages?
Thanks in advance.
What you trying to achieve is directly supported in pretty much all template languages I know of. I would strongly recommend using one the many good choices for Python:
If you were using Genshi for example (the default template language in TurboGears web application framework) what you want to do would look something like this:
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"
xmlns:py="http://genshi.edgewall.org/"
xmlns:xi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XInclude"
py:strip="">
<xi:include href="header.html" />
<xi:include href="sidebar.html" />
<xi:include href="footer.html" />
<!-- The rest of your page goes here -->
<html>
header.html, sidebar.html and footer.html need only be defined once and reused in any other page.
