Django static page?

Question

I want to make a static page which will be shown to the user only if he/she clicks on a link provided in one of my models. I can do this by making a Python page alone and calling it, but I want it be called from Django. The user interface should be constructed using the Django API only.

Any suggestions?

Answer 1

With the class-based views in newer Django versions, one can use this in urls.py:

from django.views.generic import TemplateView url(r'^about',      TemplateView.as_view(template_name='path/to/about_us.html'),     name='about'), 

Answer 2

Bypassing views to render a static template, add this line in "urls.py". For example "About Us" page could be

(r'^about', 'django.views.generic.simple.direct_to_template', {'template': 'path/to/about_us.html'}),
