2158	[patch] Syndication framework doesn't allow custom template paths.	James Wheare	Adrian Holovaty	"Let me illustrate this with an example.

I have two sorts of feeds in my app:

/authors/feed/ # simple feed of all authors[[BR]]
/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."	enhancement	closed	Contrib apps	dev	normal	fixed	syndication, feeds, templates, urls	django@…	Unreviewed	1	0	0	0	0	0
