django-template-supersuper
Adds "super_super" method to block nodes in Django templates.
What?
Now you can do {{ block.super_super }} in your templates!
Why?
Here is a made-up scenario. Note how the child template clears the very_kewl
block.
foreign_app/base.html:
<!doctype HTML>
<html><head>
<!-- blah blah -->
{% block very_kewl %}
<marquee><b><i><u>this is very kewl</marquee></b></i></u>
<!-- disclaimer: this is not valid HTML! -->
{% endblock very_kewl %}
</html>
foreign_app/actual_page.html:
{% extends 'base.html' %}
{# very many other stuff, part 1 #}
{% block very_kewl %}{% endblock %}
{# very many other stuff, part 2 #}
Now if you want to keep that "very kewl" content on your page, you can simply do:
project_template_dir/foreign_app/actual_page.html:
{% extends 'foreign_app/actual_page.html' %}
{% block very_kewl %}{{ block.super_super }}{% endblock %}
That's it! That "very kewl" content will be rendered in the block.
The block.super_super method works like block.super except that it skips
one level in the template inheritance chain (or however that thing is called).
How?
pip install django-template-supersuper- Add
'template_supersuper',toINSTALLED_APPS - Profit!
No, HOW?
Honestly, I don't know what I'm doing here.
The new method is monkeypatched to BlockNode class. It should work ok, but
no guarantees. Also, please report any issues via GitHub issues.
