Represents a page - something which is rendered according to a template. The page will have a number of related Contentlets depending on the template selected - but these will appear only after the page has been saved with that template. - - .. attribute:: template - - A :class:`ForeignKey` to the :class:`Template` used to render this :class:`Page`. - - .. attribute:: title +.. automodule:: philo.models.pages - The name of this page.

Represents a database-driven django template. Defines the following additional methods and attributes: - - .. attribute:: name - - The name of the template.

This is not validated. Default: ``text/html``. - - .. attribute:: code - - An insecure :class:`~philo.models.fields.TemplateField` containing the django template code for this template. - - .. attribute:: containers - - Returns a tuple where the first item is a list of names of contentlets referenced by containers, and the second item is a list of tuples of names and contenttypes of contentreferences referenced by containers. This will break if there is a recursive extends or includes in the template code. Due to the use of an empty Context, any extends or include tags with dynamic arguments probably won't work. - - .. method:: __unicode__() - - Returns the results of the :meth:`~TreeModel.get_path` method, using the "name" field and a chevron joiner. - -.. class:: Contentlet - - Defines a piece of content on a page.
