Does anyone know any more about this variable?
It's a method on models with date or datetime fields (not a variable). It's documented here: http://www.djangoproject.com/documentation/db_api/#get-next-by-foo-kwargs-and-get-previous-by-foo-kwargs This method is purely a convenience method for advancing through time-based fields. It cannot be applied to other field types (like integers), so if you want to use it for something like a photo stream, you would need to associate a date and time with the photos in order to be able to move through them chronologically.
