Re: App-structure: how to have a bunch of data in all the pages.

# I use mixins in a project where i need to show a list of Collection objects in both list and detail views,

# maybe this method would help you if you are using generic class-based views?

class CollectionSidebarMixin(object):

    # Add collections to the context

    def get_context_data(self, **kwargs):

        context = super(CollectionSidebarMixin, self).get_context_data(**kwargs)

        context['collections'] = Collection.objects.all()

        return context

# and you can use the mixin for list and detail views:

class CollectionList(CollectionSidebarMixin, ListView):

    model = Collection

    context_object_name = 'collections'

class CollectionDetail(CollectionSidebarMixin, DetailView):

    model = Collection

    context_object_name = 'current_collection'

I think that a Context Processor will be a better option.
