Teleport - django custom tag

Question

Help please with a django custom tag. Analize it please!

Idea:

1. In any template (parent or child), we installing a tag {{ telepoint "head" }}, with a name, such putters could be more than one.

2. At other side, we have block

   {{ teleputter "head" "unique-name" }} some html {{ teleputterend }}
   

   Content of this block goes to telepoint with appropriate telepoint name.

This sounds like you are trying to implement template inheritance: http://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/topics/templates/#id1

Read the full documentation for the best explanation. The Readers Digest version follows.

Essentially you have a base template with blocks of content with default values:

base.html
{% block  head %} "Default html goes here"  {% endblock %}

Next you create another template that extends the base template and build the blocks you would like to replace:

anotherTemplate.html
{% extends "base.html %}
{% block  head %} "This replaces the html in the base head block"  {% endblock %}

It sounds to me that your "telepoint" is a block in the base template and your "teleputter" is a block that extends the base template

Does this sound like what you are trying to do? Is what you are trying to implement any different?
