Django template includes

Question

I have a problem with django templates at the moment. I have 3 template files basically:

• Base
• story_list
• story_detail

Story_list and _detail expand the base, and it works just fine. However, the list and details use code that extends the base template for the sidebar. I basically repeat a piece of code in both templates, and the programmer in me says that this is simply wrong. There must be a better way, I'm sure of it. I tried to include, however, I have in the included file:

{% block item %}
    content stuff
{% endblock %}

for about 3 blocks. The problem is that none of this is matched / displayed. If I include a file in a block section that extends the database, then it resets everything correctly, but if I do not include it in the block, I get nothing. Is this the SSI way? I played around with this, but that didn't work either. Any help is appreciated.
