625	Custom CSS/JS list in the ini	Tumulte		"I needed a simple way to add and order JS and CSS, so instead of having them hard coded in ""base.html"" I made a list in the ini that is ""foreached"" in the template above.

Here's how this work :

in '''mediagoblin.ini''', I've added three sections (css_files, js_header_files, js_footer_files (and allow me to stress the importance of footer js))  :

It look like this : 

{{{
[js_header_files]
files = """"""
   /js/extlib/jquery.js
   /js/header_dropdown.js
""""""
}}}
the """"""/"""""" allow multiple lines statements cause I want to be able to move lines up and down easily. ""file_1=""/""file_N="" is error prone and comma lists are unreadable.


----

In '''tools/templates.py''' I treat the data and send them as templates' context :


{{{
context['js_header_files'] = mg_globals.global_config.get('js_header_files', {})['files'].split()
}}}


----

And finally in '''""template/base.html""''', I display the data : 


{{{
    {% for js_header_file in js_header_files %}
    {% set js_header_file  = request.staticdirect(js_header_file) %}
    <script src=""{{js_header_file}}""></script>
    {% endfor %}
}}}


Smooth and easy.
