map:
    lat: 12.145943

You can extend functionality of the page by registering services and then selecting them in admin panel. You can pass arbitrary additional parameters to the service introducing YAML (http://www.yaml.org/) formatted text in "parameters" field.

To register new custom service add somewhere in your code:

from contenta.services import services

# request arg is obligatory
# returns dict
def service(request, data):
    # do something...
    return data
    
# data arg is obligatory
# returns str with Error description or None
def clean_service(data):
    # do something...
    return data
    
# you can set default values too
# obligatory args: "service name", "function" 
services.register("service name", 
    service, # function which returns dict with service
    {"desc": "description of the service",
    "clean": clean_service,  # optional function which checks vaild input of variables
    "default": """default_var1: xxx
default_var2: 2"""})

• enviroment takes parameters and injects them to the template

• extra takes parameters and injects them to the template as 'extra'

• redirect expects 'url' parameter

• get_pages returns pages based on 'filter' parameter

• Automaticaly detect markup options
