views for Django flatpages?

Question

I use the following to determine the template on a pattern that matches the index page, in which I determine which template to load based on if it's an AJAX request:

def home(request):

    if request.is_ajax():
        template = "ajax.html"
    else:
        template = "index.html"

    entries = posts.objects.all()[:10]
    return render_to_response(template, {'posts' : entries}, context_instance=RequestContext(request))

However, I don't have anything regarding flatpages mentioned in my views.py, how can I do a similar request.is_ajax() check for the templates of flatpages?

Thanks!

Got it!

urls.py

url(r'^(?P<url>.*)$', 'Alpha.blog.views.flatpage', {}, 'flatpage'),

views.py:

def flatpage(request, url):
    try:
        if url == '':
            url = 'home/'
        flatpage = FlatPage.objects.get(url="/%s" % url)
    except:
        pass

    if request.is_ajax():
        template = 'pages/ajax.html'
    else:
        template = 'pages/default.html'

    context_instance=RequestContext(request)
    context_instance.autoescape=False
    return render_to_response(template, {'flatpage': flatpage}, context_instance)
