[patch] Syndication framework doesn't allow custom template paths.

[James Wheare]

Let me illustrate this with an example.

I have two sorts of feeds in my app:

/authors/feed/ # simple feed of all authors
/authors/authorname/feed/ # complex per-author feed

Defined by the following URLconf

feeds = {
	'authors': AuthorsFeed,
}
author_feed = {
	'authors': AuthorFeed,
}
(r'^(?P<url>authors/[-\w]+)/feed/$', 'feed', {'feed_dict': author_feed}),
(r'^(?P<url>authors)/feed/$', 'feed', {'feed_dict': feeds}),

The problem is that both urls share the same slug "authors" which determines the feed model to use and—more critically—the template paths (authors_description, authors_title)

I managed to work around the model issue by specifying two different feed_dicts but I can't see a way to specify different templates for each feed without patching django.contrib.syndication.views.

Added ability to specify title and description templates

I'm sure this patch is a really hackish way of doing this and the variable names are awful but at least it works.

Ack! Ignore "comments_extras.diff". I accidentally attached that to the wrong ticket. My apologies.

Patch appears to use 8 spaces instead of 4

Yeah, can't figure out how to reduce spaces-per-tab in TextMate.

[James Wheare <django@…>]

Actually, it *is* using 4 spaces, trac seems to be screwing the formatting it up, check the raw format. (And yes, I figured out the textmate issue, stupid me)

(In [3214]) Fixed #2158 -- Added title_template and description_template hooks to Feed class in syndication framework.

Ah yes much cleaner. Thanks :)
