Is it possible to enter {{ variable }} into a django flatpage and if so, how?

Never tried this. The documentation says that Flatpage templates are passed a single context variable, flatpage, which is the flatpage object (emphasis mine). Based on this I'd venture a guess that this is not possible. There might be workarounds (such as writing your own wrapper over the views) but I haven't see them in use.

  • I agree - and context processors aren't run for flatpages IIRC, so you can't inject an extra var that way either. You could write your own version of Flatpages - it's not much work - that lets you inject custom vars as well, mind you – Steve Jalim Aug 24 '10 at 09:33
