Hi,
Sorry to bring this question up again, since it passed over this list earlier today. I thought that Malcolm Tredinnick post on extending generic views is very insightful http://www.pointy-stick.com/blog/2006/06/29/django-tips-extending-generic-views/ as simple as that actually is. Using views.py & generic views seems very efficient. What I'd like to do is to add links to a page that allow a page items to be sorted in different manners. A very common pattern obviously. I would like to extend Malcoms snippet to complement this sorting issue, but I'm not yet knowledgeable in Django to do this in a very efficient manner. I'm working with the following code -thanks Malcolm-: def event_index(request): if request.user.is_anonymous(): qs = Event.objects.filter(IsInternal=True).filter( IsPublished=True ).order_by( 'eventEnd' ) else: qs = Event.objects.order_by('eventEnd') return object_list(request, qs) let's say that I'd like to have the items on this view sorted by 'eventName', 'eventLocation', 'eventStart', and to filter out any events where 'isEventPassed' is true for example. Coding each of these views doesnt seem a very DRY thing to do here, since I'm just sorting the data differently... So in a way one would think a functional approach would make sense here, something like: def event_sorted(request, attribute): if request.user.is_anonymous(): qs = Event.objects.filter(IsInternal=True).filter( IsPublished=True ).order_by( 'attribute' ) else: qs = Event.objects.order_by('attribute') return object_list(request, qs) I'd love to hear what would be a succinct way of coding such views!
