Re: Is there any way to override variable of parent (super) template in child template

AFAIK nodes outside blocks in such cases are not executed at all. But
I tried and it does not work.

So far I wrote this:

{% extends 'base.html' %}

{% block title %}
{% setget title %}{% trans 'Pages' %}{% endset %}
{% endblock %}

{% block content %}
<h2>{{ title }}</h2>
{% endblock %}

and templatetag looks like this:

class SetNode(template.Node):
def __init__(self, key, nodelist, return_result=False):
self.key = key
self.nodelist = nodelist
self.return_result = return_result

def render(self, context):
value = self.nodelist.render(context)
for d in context.dicts:
d[self.key] = value
if self.return_result:
return value
else:
return ''

What do you think? The rationale behind this is that sometime I have
huge titles like this:

{% url foo as bar %}
{% block title %}{% blocktrans with a=b %}Title goes here {{ bar }}
{{ a }}{% endblocktrans %}{% endblock %}

and copy-pasting this from block to block is not funny... May be there
is another way to solve this?
