I created a file named base.html in the templates folder and written the code as follows:
{% block page_content %}{% endblock %}
Now, in another file named Hello_World.html I wrote the code as
{% extends "base.html" %}
{% block page_content %}
<h1>Hello, World!</h1>
{% endblock %}
can anyone please explain the working of this code clearly as I didn't come across the commands block and endblock in css.To the one who answers Thank you very much in Advance!
This is Django.
block is used for overriding specific parts of a template.
You could have a block named content and this is supposed to be overridden by children that inherit from this template.
From the examples at The Django Docs
I am currently a beginner in html and I have seen this problem many times and I do not know how to solve it. I copied a source code from a video in an attempt to make a social media. The following code is in the file home.html:
{% extends 'base.html' %}
{% block title %}
home
{% endblock title %}
{% block content %}
{{hello}}
<br>
{{user}}
{% endblock content %}
{% block scripts %}
<script>
$(document).ready(function(){
console.log('working')
})
</script>
{% endblock scripts %}
However, in the video the html page seems correct and all buttons and functions are working. On the other side my html page is like this:
...
The guide you have seen concerns Flask, a framework for applications written in Python. The code will not work because there is no preprocessor that can process it. In this case the browser will show you plain text without formatting.
I'm trying to build a static website using the GRAV CMS. So far, I've been creating *.html.twig files and associating a single page to the individual template.
This is how my pages look:
{% block header%}
{% include 'partials/bhss-default-header.html.twig' %}
{% endblock %}
#CONTENT
{% block footer%}
{% include 'partials/bhss-default-footer.html.twig' %}
{% endblock %}
However, my purpose is to have an editor creating pages from the admin interface and adding HTML blocks similar to the custom fields or shortcodes in WordPress. I want this blocks to be filled with text.
I need to mention that my website is built with Semantic-UI, so I'm not using any theme provided by GRAV.
How can I replicate this behavior and what choices do I have ? The website is small at this time, so I can remake every page.
Thank you!
If you want to use editor, you need to build your header and footer as Grav pages in Markdown, not Grav theme's template file in Twig. Example:
{% block header%}
{{ pages.find('/my-header').content }}
{% endblock %}
#CONTENT
{% block footer%}
{{ pages.find('/my-footer').content }}
{% endblock %}
my-header and my-footer are 2 pages. You can unpublish these pages to hide them from your menu and forbid direct access to them.
I am setting up a basic Github-hosted Jekyll website (so minimal, I am not even bothering to change the default theme). I have a nested site with a small number of first-tier pages that I would like to appear in the navigation bar (i.e. the default mode of operation). I also have some second-tier pages that I would like to NOT junk up the navigation bar.
While a multi-level navigation system would be nice, I'm trying to avoid using plugins. Therefore, I believe the simplest solution is to just exclude tier two pages from the navigation system entirely.
Here's a hypothetical page structure (minus the other Jekyll files):
jekyllsite
jekyllsite/bar
jekyllsite/bar/alice
jekyllsite/bar/alice/index.md
jekyllsite/bar/bob
jekyllsite/bar/bob/index.md
jekyllsite/bar/index.md
jekyllsite/baz
jekyllsite/baz/index.md
jekyllsite/foo
jekyllsite/foo/eggs
jekyllsite/foo/eggs/index.md
jekyllsite/foo/index.md
jekyllsite/foo/spam
jekyllsite/foo/spam/index.md
jekyllsite/index.md
In descending order of awesome, this is how I'd like this to go down:
Best case, context sensitive navigation (don't think possible without plugins): When visiting jekyllsite/index.md, I would get a single layer navigation bar offering me links to foo, bar, and baz. When visiting jekyllsite/bar/index.md, I would see a two-tiered navigation bar containing foo, bar, and baz at the top level, and with alice and bob in the second tier.
The next best option would be for me to change something globally, such that only top-level directories (foo, bar, baz) got added to the nav bar. Subdirectories such as alice, bob, spam, and eggs would be automatically excluded from the nav bar.
Finally (and I think this might be the easiest) would be for a YAML frontmatter flag to exclude a page. Something like nonav: true in the frontmatter of the page to be excluded.
This seems like it would have to be a fairly common use case, though I haven't been able to find anything that looks like a short path to either of these three options. I'm hoping someone more familiar with Jekyll has a "path of least resistance" answer.
I personally do ;
Front matter for page that appears in main menu
---
layout: default
title: Home
menu: main
weight: 10
---
Main menu template (classes are from twitter bootstrap) :
<ul class="nav navbar-nav">
{% comment %}Jekyll can now sort on custom page key{% endcomment %}
{% assign pages = site.pages | sort: 'weight' %}
{% for p in pages %}
{% if p.menu == 'main' %}
<li{% if p.url == page.url %} class="active"{% endif %}>
{{ p.title }}
</li>
{% endif %}
{% endfor %}
</ul>
You can then replicate that at any level by setting a custom var in the yaml front matter :
menu : foo
and passing a value to a menu template
{% include navbar.html menuLevel="foo" %}
And intercept it like this :
{% if p.menu == menuLevel %}
Any page that doesn't expose a menu: toto will not appear in navigation.
If you are coming from the basic Jekyll theme, the simplest way to exclude pages from the header site navigation is to add an unless page.exclude exception.
(page.exclude is a new Yaml frontmatter attribute.)
By default, this is in _includes/header.html:
{% for page in site.pages %}
{% unless page.exclude %}
{% if page.title %}
<a class="page-link" href="{{ page.url | prepend: site.baseurl }}">{{ page.title }}</a>
{% endif %}
{% endunless %}
{% endfor %}
and a corresponding tag to the Yaml frontmatter of any page:
---
... other attributes ...
exclude: true
---

It is possible to create a multi-level, context-sensitive navigation like you described without plugins, I have done it.
The only caveat is that you need to maintain a YAML data file with your menu hierarchy - with my approach, it's not possible to generate this automatically from your directory structure.
I'll show the short version here, but I have a way more detailed explanation on my blog:
Building a pseudo-dynamic tree menu with Jekyll
Example project on GitHub
1. Create a YAML data file (/_data/menu.yml) which contains your menu hierarchy:
- text: Home
url: /
- text: First menu
url: /first-menu/
subitems:
- text: First menu (sub)
url: /first-menu/first-menu-sub/
subitems:
- text: First menu (sub-sub)
url: /first-menu/first-menu-sub/first-menu-sub-sub/
- text: Second menu
url: /second-menu/
subitems:
- text: Second menu (sub)
url: /second-menu/second-menu-sub/
2. Create an include file (/_includes/nav.html) with the following content:
{% assign navurl = page.url | remove: 'index.html' %}
<ul>
{% for item in include.nav %}
<li>
<a href="{{ item.url }}">
{% if item.url == navurl %}
<b>{{ item.text }}</b>
{% else %}
{{ item.text }}
{% endif %}
</a>
</li>
{% if item.subitems and navurl contains item.url %}
{% include nav.html nav=item.subitems %}
{% endif %}
{% endfor %}
</ul>
This include file will take care of showing the correct navigation for each page:
showing the next level of subitems only for the current page
displaying the current page in bold
If you don't understand what exactly the include file is doing under the covers, read my blog post - I explained it there, in great detail (in the section "The recursive include file").
3. In your main layout file, embed the include file:
{% include nav.html nav=site.data.menu %}
This will display the navigation there.
Note that I'm passing the complete data file from step 1 to the include.
That's all!
As I said in the beginning:
The only disadvantage of this approach is that each time you create a new page, you also need to insert the page's title and URL into the data file.
But on the other hand, this makes it very easy to exclude some pages from the navigation: you just don't add them to the data file.
I'm would like to use flask-admin and integrate it in my own layout which is based on flask-bootstrap. I don't care about the navbar that comes with flask-admin would just use the pure list view. I'm struggling to find an elegant solution, such that I don't have to write my own list.html. Structure is:
base.html:
{% extends "bootstrap/base.html" %}
{% block content %}
<div class="container">
{% block page_content %}
{% endblock %}
</div>
{% endblock %}
My normal other templates just extend this base.html and overwrite the page_content block. The idea is to have now my own \admin\master.html which should extend the page_content as well. Something like:
\admin\master.html
{% extends 'base.html' %}
{% block page_content %}
{% block body%} here most of the list.html from flask-admin should appear
{% endblock%}
{% endblock %}
It seems that flask-admin in list.html defines also a body block, which seems to overwrite the body block from the flask-bootstrap template. I had the impression that jijna2 templating is somehow hierarchical. e.g. blocks get filled from the direct extension.
I could easily create my own list.html, edit.html and create.html but would probably duplicate most of the code. Is there a more elegant solution?
I ended copying over everything and creating my own. I found required changes to most of those files to get things to display properly anyways.
