database stored templates

[hugo]

In ​my repository for my new CMS project I have a simple and little app that implements database stored templates. Actually it's just a model and a template loader. This might be something that could go into the django.contrib package. I think it's especially handy if your site is mostly Django admin driven and people should be able to make changes to templates through the web.

[hugo]

Since I reorganized my CMS project a bit, the dbtemplate sources are now ​in the stuff project.

I like the idea, and it might make a nice inclusion into contrib, but will this work on a recent version of Django?

Somebody else wrote one of these and there was a ​small thread about it one the lists last year. Looks like his work was based on hugo's and there were problems in any case. So let's revive hugo's version (or something like it) and drop it into contrib.

Oops. Last comment was from me.

Thanks for making the patch, Jannis!

"patch needs improvement" set due to Jacob's comments on the mailing list.

[Jannis Leidel <jl@…>]

Completed django.contrib.dbtemplates with loader, sync_templates utility and new documentation

[Jannis Leidel <jl@…>]

Basic tests included

[Jannis Leidel <jl@…>]

I just uploaded a new version [1] of the dbtemplates module, which is kind of pieced together from the last patch (4) and some ideas from james bennett's django-registration app :)

it's a standalone app now and lives on the python path. installation and usage instructions included.
please don't hesitate to test it and complain [2] if it isn't working.

oh sorry, didn't know, that the [x] is a magic wiki word.

[Jannis Leidel <jl@…>]

I updated a lot of dbtemplates and finished working on the sync tool. Please look for further details and recent downloads here: ​http://code.google.com/p/django-databasetemplateloader/

(Considering the fact that Google Code hosted contrib apps seem to become standard I hereby propose the closure of this ticket :)

Thanks Jannis, I'll close this then - just make sure the google code page is linked to prominently on appropriate django wiki pages (wiki:Resources for ex.)

The databasetemplateloader project has since been moved away from Google Code. Please visit ​http://pypi.python.org/pypi/django-dbtemplates for up-to-date releases.
