How can I include the following template (there are many of such template) in the main template so that each block gets appended to the corresponding block in the main template? Actually I want to avoid adding CSS and JavaScript separately each time I include a template, so asking this question.
{% block head %}
<link rel="stylesheet" href="/static/navbar.css">
{% endblock %}
{% block body %}
<div id="navbar"></div>
{% endblock %}
{% block script %}
<script src="/static/navbar.js"></script>
{% endblock %}
Main template:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
{% block head %}
<link rel="stylesheet" href="/static/main.css">
{% endblock %}
</head>
<body>
<div id="header"></div>
{% block body %} {% endblock %}
<div id="footer"></div>
{% block script %}
<script src="/static/main.js"></script>
{% endblock %}
</body>
</html>
i have two html file ,i should extends secend file from first file but it doesnt work
first file base.html
<html lang="en">
<head>
<meta charset="UTF-8">
<title>{% block title %}Library{% endblock %}</title>
</head>
<body>
<div id="test">
{% block test %}
<h1>This page belongs to me.</h1>
{% endblock %}
</div>
</body>
</html>

<h3>Books</h3>
<div>
{% for book in books %}
{% if book.available %}
<p>{{ book.author }} wrote {{ book.title }}.</p>
{% endif %}
{% endfor %}
</div>
{% endblock %}
You Forgot to add in your parent template
{% block content %}{% endblock %}
This is where the child template is going to be placed.
Your parent template should look like this (for example):
<html lang="en">
<head>
<meta charset="UTF-8">
<title>{% block title %}Library{% endblock %}</title>
</head>
<body>
<div id="test">
{% block test %}
<h1>This page belongs to me.</h1>
{% endblock %}
</div>
<div class="myChildContentComesHere">{% block content %}{% endblock %}</div>
</body>
</html>
I have a Django website where I have separated the html files into a base.html file as so:
{% include 'head.html' %}
<body>
{% include 'nav.html' %}
{% block content %}
{% endblock content %}
{% include 'footer.html' %}
{% include 'scripts.html' %}
</body>
</html>
Due to including head.html, the title on each page is the same, since head.html has only 1 title. Here is the head.html file:
<head>
<meta charset="UTF-8">
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0">
<link rel="stylesheet" href="{% static 'css/materialize.css' %}">
<link rel="stylesheet" href="{% static 'css/materialize.min.css' %}">
<link rel="stylesheet" href="{% static 'css/style.css' %}">
<link rel="stylesheet" href="{% static 'css/custom.css' %}">
<link href="https://fonts.googleapis.com/icon?family=Material+Icons" rel="stylesheet">
<title>mytitle</title>
</head>
But i want to display different titles for different pages and I dont know how to. Anyone have any idea?
base.html
{% include 'head.html' with title=title %}
<body>
{% include 'nav.html' %}
{% block content %}
{% endblock content %}
{% include 'footer.html' %}
{% include 'scripts.html' %}
</body>
</html>
views.py
def home(request):
context = {
"title":"Home"
}
return render(request,"template",context)
head.html
<head>
<meta charset="UTF-8">
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0">
<link rel="stylesheet" href="{% static 'css/materialize.css' %}">
<link rel="stylesheet" href="{% static 'css/materialize.min.css' %}">
<link rel="stylesheet" href="{% static 'css/style.css' %}">
<link rel="stylesheet" href="{% static 'css/custom.css' %}">
<link href="https://fonts.googleapis.com/icon?family=Material+Icons" rel="stylesheet">
<title>{{title}}</title>
</head>
Use blocks which are overridable:
head.html
...
<title>{% block page_title %}{% endblock %}</title>
my_concrete_page.html
{% extends base.html %}
{% block page_title %}my concrete title{% endblock %}
I am giving this answer from my knowledge:
Make one file for this :
head.html
<meta charset="UTF-8">
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0">
<link rel="stylesheet" href="{% static 'css/materialize.css' %}">
<link rel="stylesheet" href="{% static 'css/materialize.min.css' %}">
<link rel="stylesheet" href="{% static 'css/style.css' %}">
<link rel="stylesheet" href="{% static 'css/custom.css' %}">
<link href="https://fonts.googleapis.com/icon?family=Material+Icons" rel="stylesheet">
make different file for your different title :
title1.html
<title>mytitle</title>
title2.html
<title>mytitle</title>
now add in your main file like this :
<head>
{% include 'head.html' %}
{% include 'title1.html' %}
</head>
<body>
{% include 'nav.html' %}
{% block content %}
{% endblock content %}
{% include 'footer.html' %}
{% include 'scripts.html' %}
</body>
</html>
I hope this works for you.
use include instead of extend for base.html and pass dynamic title to base.html
django link : include
{% include "base.html" with objects=website.title %}
I had to combine the ideas of #Ivan and #Soham. I removed the title tag from my head.html and added that to my base.html. Along with that I used overrideable block tag inside the title tag. So now my base.html looks like this:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
{% include 'head.html' %}
<title>{% block title %}{% endblock title %}</title>
<body>
{% include 'nav.html' %}
{% block content %}
{% endblock content %}
{% include 'footer.html' %}
{% include 'scripts.html' %}
</body>
</html>
And all I have to do now is use the tags accordingly in other pages:
{% extends 'base.html' %}
{% block title %}whatever i want the title to be{% endblock title %}
Option 1. Base.html file
<link rel="stylesheet" href="{% static 'css/style.css' %}"
.
.
<title>{% block title %} Home-title {% endblock %}</title>
Then add like this code your file
{% block title %} Search Results {% endblock %}
Option 2. To query a model in the view:
{% extends "blog/base.html" %}
{% block title %} {{blog_obj.title}} {% endblock %}
{% block content %}
I am using sorl-thumbnail in my template and everything was working fine until I decided to break my templates into pieces to enable me reuse some part of it elsewhere.
My base.html looks this:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
{% load staticfiles %}
{% load thumbnail %}
<link href="{% static 'mysite/css/style.css' %}" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />
<link href="{% static 'mysite/js/index.js' %}" rel="stylesheet" type="text/javascript" />
</head>
<body>
<div id = 'profile-photo'>
{% thumbnail user.thumbnail.thumbnail "40x40" crop="center" as im %}
<img class='pp' src=".{{ im.url }}" width="{{ im.width }}" height="{{ im.height }}">
{% empty %}
<img class='in-use-pi' src='{{STATIC_URL}}images/ddd.jpg' width='40' height='40'/>
{% endthumbnail %}
</div>
<div id = "position">
<div class = "container">
<div class ="row">
<div class="col-md-4 hidden-xs hidden-sm">
{% block user_profile %}
Default text 1
{% endblock %}
</div>
<div class = "col-md-5">
{% block mainBody %}
Default text 2
{% endblock %}
</div>
</div>
</div><!-- end of container div -->
</div><!-- end of position div -->
</body>
</html>
If I extend this in my index.html, the thumbnail tag works fine but if I put the tag in index.html this way:
index.html:
{% extends "mysite/base.html" %}
{% block mainBody %}
{% thumbnail user.thumbnail.thumbnail "50x50" crop="center" as im %}
<img src=".{{ im.url }}" width="{{ im.width }}" height="{{ im.height }}">
{% empty %}
<img src='{{STATIC_URL}}images/ddd.jpg' class='ppix follow_thumbnail' width='50' height='50'/>
{% endthumbnail %}
{% endblock %}
Exception Value:
Invalid block tag: 'thumbnail', expected 'elif', 'else' or 'endif'
What am I doing wrong?
You need to load the templatetag library in every template.
{% extends "mysite/base.html" %}
{% load thumbnail %}
In Django can you have one template base layer inheriting from another?
For example:
base.html
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
{% load staticfiles %}
<meta charset="UTF-8">
<title>Cloud Fabric || Product Calculator</title>
<link rel="stylesheet" href="http://yui.yahooapis.com/pure/0.5.0/pure-min.css">
{% block additionalStyles %}
<link rel="stylesheet" type= "text/css" href = "{% static 'fabric/editionsStylesheet.css' %}" />
{% endblock additionalStyles %}
</head>
<body>
<div id="header">
<h1 id="HeaderH1"><i>{{EditionName}}</i></h1>
</div>
{% block content %}
{% endblock content %}
</body>
</html>
So that will be the main base layer now is there a way to make another base layer to inherit from it for different parts of a website? like so:
base2.html
{% extends "base.html" %}
{% block additionalStyles %}
{% load staticfiles %}
<link rel="stylesheet" type= "text/css" href = "{% static 'fabric/monthlyEditionsStylesheet.css' %}" />
{% endblock additionalStyles %}
{% block content %}
<h1 id="chooseMonthH1">Choose The Monthly Range:</h1>
{% block monthlyForm %}
{% endblock monthlyForm %}
<button type="submit" class="pure-button pure-button-primary" id="subButton">Submit</button>
{% block formend %}
</form>
{% endblock formend %}
</div>
{% endblock content %}
So then further html can inherit from base2.html? i have already tried this but the form stopped working and the css messed up.
Your base2.html template overwrites contents of the additionalStyles block from the base.html template.
To preserve parent's block content, you must use the magic block.super variable like this:
{% extends "base.html" %}
{% block additionalStyles %}
{{ block.super }}
<link ... >
{% endblock additionalStyles %}
The above notation appends content to the additionalStyles block.
