if I have a website with a sidebar that contains recent updates, which should be visible on each page, what is the common way to make sure that data is available for each view?

context_processor

apollo13: excellent usefulness to answer length ratio, i've gotten it to work. :-)

haha

oh, for a second I thought my suse banned me from /dev/null %_%

Garion: Just make sure your context processor doesn't evaluate anything in the queryset itself, otherwise that will cause db access on all requests, regardless of if it is used.

What is the convention for pluralizing this: episode_list or episodes_list ?

hey, can you tell me what do you think about this code? https://dpaste.de/VRsR#L

mainly: have you ever used a construction like that?

clime: a bit odd, but nothing wrong I think

mstrcnvs: thx, it is for editing media of a given object (e.g. photos of an event)

mstrcnvs: it comes to me as odd too but I guess it is ok in the end

a bit obscure if you know what I mean

can't tell what the relmodel line is doing just by reading

mstrcnvs: ye it fetches the event object of which media should be edited

I have this 'if its ugly it can be done better' but I don't know in this case
