Flatpages are great for simple html content. However, I wanted some way to associate a navigation menu (just a snippet of HTML) with one or more FlatPage objects. Additionally, I wanted to be able to edit these throught the Admin. This was my solution.

from django.db import models
from django.contrib.flatpages.models import FlatPage
class FlatpageNav(models.Model):
'''
A simple snippet of HTML that can be associated with multiple FlatPages.
'''
flatpages = models.ManyToManyField(FlatPage, \
help_text='Select the Flatpages that should display this menu')
name = models.CharField(max_length=255, \
help_text='A name for this menu. This is not displayed on the FlatPage.')
menu = models.TextField(help_text='Enter an HTML snippet for the menu.')
def __unicode__(self):
return u"%s"%self.name
# admin.py
from models import FlatpageNav
from django.contrib import admin
class FlatpageNavAdmin(admin.ModelAdmin):
list_display = ('name', )
admin.site.register(FlatpageNav, FlatpageNavAdmin)
# Then, in your Flatpage default template, add the following:
{% if flatpage.flatpagenav_set.count %}
{% for nav in flatpage.flatpagenav_set.all %}
{{ nav.menu|safe }}
{% endfor %}
{% else %}
{# Include an alternative menu. #}
{% include "flatpages/menu.html" %}
{% endif %}
