template tag to include media snippet

GoogleCodeExporter commented 8 years ago

just wanted to write some notes about this, so opening an issue.

was watching adrian's talk at pycon on everyblock and just posting the idea
based on some of his code that describes a template tag that renders based
on the type of object ... dunno if it applies.

it's at 21:11 http://blip.tv/file/1957362

def render_media(mediaitem): 
    type = media_item.type 
    temp_names = ('snippets/%s.html' % type, 'snippets/default.html') 
    t = select_template(temp_names) 
    return t.render(template.Context({ 'mediaitem':mediaitem, })

render an object and select a custom template for it

they filter on an attribute called .schema as opposed to something we 
might have like .type  

basic idea is rendering based on an attribute in the db
  so snippets/video.html, snippets/audio.html, snippets/slideshow.html
  i.e 'snippets/%s.html' % multimedia.type

Here's a very similar implementation from Jellyroll:
