I have a templatetag that basically fetches archive information for a
specific model, the only thing is I cannot figure out how to convert the
model parameter which is passed in as a string to an actual django Model
class ArchiveNode(template.Node):
def __init__(self, model, date_field):
self.model = model
self.date_field = date_field
def render(self, context):
context['archive_years'] =
self.model.objects.all().dates(date_field,'year','DESC')
return ''
def do_archive_links(parser, token):
try:
# split_contents() knows not to split quoted strings.
tag_name, model, date_field = token.split_contents()
except ValueError:
raise template.TemplateSyntaxError, "%r tag requires two
arguments" % token.contents.split()[0]
return ArchiveNode(model, date_field)
i appreciate any suggestions, i dont want to replicate this function for
all models that I archive
