How do you insert a template into another template?
You can do:
<div class="basic">{% include "main/includes/subtemplate.html" %} </div>where subtemplate.html is another Django template. In this subtemplate.html you can put the HTML that would be obtained with Ajax.
You can also include the template multiple times:
<div class="basic">{% for item in items %} {% include "main/includes/subtemplate.html" %} {% endfor %}</div>
You can do this using a block. Blocks are a Django Template tag which will override sections of a template you extend. I've included an example below.
basic_template.html
<body>{% block 'body' %}{% endblock %}</body>template you want to include: (i.e. example.html)
{% extends 'basic_template.html' %} {% block 'body' %}/* HTML goes here */{% endblock %}views.py:
return render_to_response(template='example.html', context, context_instance)Doing this will load basic_template.html, but replace everything inside of {% block 'body' %} {% endblock %} in basic_template.html with whatever is contained within {% block 'body' %} {% endblock %}.
You can read more about blocks and template inheritance in the Django Docs
There are mainly 2 ways (2 easy ones)
1:
In base html put{% include "myapp/sub.html" %}
And just write html code inside your sub.html file
