Using in templates

Basic usage is just extends from base.html

{% extends 'gentelella/base.html' %}

Available block are

| - pre_head
| - head
|   - meta
|   - title
|   - stylesheets
| - extra_css
| - extra_head
| - body
|   - sidebar
|   - top_navigation
|   - content_wrapper
|     -  messages
|     -  breadcrumbs
|     -  content_block_wrap
|        -  content
|   - footer
|   - javascripts
| - js

You can overwrite all blocks but remember use {{ block.super }}. Blocks extra_css, js are designed to be overwrite when you want to include custom css and js.

Importing javascript libraries

Django gentelella has a lot of Javascript dependencies, most of them are imported in base.html, but there are many that you can activate in your template to avoid use import statics files manually.

You can define what library you want using define_true tag, in this way:

{% extends 'gentelella/base.html' %}
{% load gtsettings %}

{% block pre_head %}
    {% define_true  "use_readonlywidgets" %}
{% endblock %}

It’s very important to implement it in pre_head block, because is the first block processed on base.html, so it’s will run first.

Remember use {% block js %} {% endblock %} to add your custom javascript code.
