    <p>If you have a tree structure, which a directory is, then you can turn your for() loop into a generator and have it recursively call itself as needed. You'll need two templates (one for files, one for folders), and a view that creates generators for each folder.</p> <p>Here's a file template:</p> <pre><code>&lt;li&gt;{{ file }}&lt;/li&gt; </code></pre> <p>Here's a folder template:</p> <pre><code>&lt;li&gt;{{ file }}&lt;ul&gt;{% for f in subfiles %}{{ f }}{% endfor %}&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;/li&gt; </code></pre> <p>In your main template, you need a starting list for the root folder:</p> <pre><code>&lt;ul&gt;{% for f in subfiles %}{{ f }}{% endfor %}&lt;/ul&gt; </code></pre> <p>And here's the view. This example uses Treebeard, but the logic for branches/leaves is the same as folders/files:</p> <pre><code>from django.template import loader def index(request): def index_maker(): def _index(root): files = os.listdir(root) for mfile in files: t = os.path.join(root, mfile) if os.path.isdir(t): yield loader.render_to_string('demo/p_folder.html', {'file': mfile, 'subfiles': _index(os.path.join(root, t))}) continue yield loader.render_to_string('demo/p_file.html', {'file': mfile}) return _index('/home/httpd/htdocs') c = index_maker() return render_to_response('demo/index.html', {'subfiles': c}) </code></pre> <p>Each node is either a file or a folder. Folders have names, so when rendering a folder we pass that and the list of entries (children) in that folder. The <code>_index()</code> function, by using <code>yield</code>, returns not the list of subfiles but a generator which will produce the results when called by the <code>for</code> loop within the template. This becomes a nifty dance between <code>_index()</code> and the template renderers. </p>

    1. POWhat's the Django way to render a tree of folders and files?

    1. COThat is one of the clearest answers I have met on the site - :) - it really illustrates how the templates/view relationship can work with the data structures. I was trying to understand that.

    2. CODizzley: Since I wasn't familiar with os.walk, I didn't appreciate how different it was from a recursive solution. It wouldn't work with my rendering of a tree; there has to be a different solution for using it. So I've edited my example to show how this would work using listdir/isdir. I've tested this and it works.

    3. COI appreciated the recursive solution and could see (roughly) how to adapt it... but you just did all the work. :D

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
