django-snippets provides a templatetag acting as an {% include %},
that loads a template and renders it with the current context, but the
template content comes from database.
django-snippets is a fork of django-flatblocks, and the main difference is that django-snippets render the content as a Django template.
Once you've created some instances of the snippets.models.Snippet
model, you can load it it using the snippets templatetag-library:
{% load snippets ... %}
...
{% get_comment_list for entry as comment_list %}
{% if comment_list %}
<h2>Comments</h2>
<ol>{% include_snippet "comment_list" %}</ol>
{% endif %}
This way you can include a snippet with the name "comment_list". If you have the name of a snippet in a template variable, leave out the quotes.
comment_list will be rendered as a Django template. This mean that you
can use {% for %}, {% if %} and others template tags.
This tag also accepts an optional argument where you can specify the number of seconds, the that snippet should be cached:
{% include_snippet "comment_list" 3600 %}
If you use a snippet that doesn't exist, ``include_snippet`` will insert the value of the SNIPPET_STRING_IF_INVALID setting, which is '' (the empty string) by default.
