I know that you're seeking a solution for generic views, but just fyi
here's what I did for my custom views to do this:
In the view I set up a function to allow me to check for and validate
such parameters (e.g. "...sort=xyzzy"). You don't NEED to have a function
for this, but I believe that you definitely should validate these parameters.
def check_arg(request, arg, default, valids):
result = request.GET.get(arg, default)
if result not in valids:
result = default
return result
Then, in each of my views where I might have some parameter I add
something like:
sort = check_arg(request, 'sort', 'name', ['name', 'rating'])
or
view = check_arg(request,'view', 'top', ['top', 'all'])
or
display = check_arg(request,'display', 'full', ['full', 'brief'])
and finally, in each of those views you need to add each "parameter"
variable (e.g. "sort" above) to the context with something like:
c = DjangoContext(request, {
"sort":sort,
"view":view,
"display":display,
"obj_list":obj_list,
}, None)
Then, in your template you refer to these variables just like
{{ sort }}
Hope that helps even though it's not generic views...
