Hi Ned, I figured as much, but since without the 'try' made no difference, I thought I'd give it a whirl.... here is the source. 'lukenslanguages' is the project directory.
#lukenslanguages/weblog/models.py from django.db import models class Category(models.Model): name = models.CharField(maxlength=20) url = models.SlugField(prepopulate_from=("name",)) def __str__(self): return self.name class Admin: pass class Entry(models.Model): title = models.CharField(maxlength=100) url = models.SlugField(prepopulate_from=("title",)) category = models.ForeignKey(Category) body = models.TextField() date = models.DateField() def __str__(self): return self.title class Admin: pass #lukenslanguages/urls.py from django.conf.urls.defaults import * from lukenslanguages import views urlpatterns = patterns('', (r'^admin/', include('django.contrib.admin.urls')), (r'^site_media/(?P<path>.*)$', 'django.views.static.serve', {'document_root': 'C:/django-0.96.1/lukenslanguages/templates/'}), (r'(^[a-z-]+)/$', views.entry_list), ) #lukenslanguages/views.py from django.shortcuts import render_to_response from weblog.models import Category, Entry from django.template import loader, RequestContext from context_processors import menu_list def entry_list(request, category): c = Category.objects.get(url=category) entries = c.entry_set.all() return render_to_response('weblog/blogentry_list.html', {'entries': entries, 'category': c.name, 'title': c.name}, context_instance=RequestContext(request, processors=[menu_list])) #lukenslanguages/context_processors.py from weblog.models import Category def menu_list(request): "A context processor that serves the categories for use as menu items" return { 'categories': Category.objects.all() } #lukenslanguages/weblog/templatetags/blog_extras.py from django.template import Library from lukenslanguages.weblog.models import Entry register = Library() @register.filter def category_url(entry_id): e = Entry.objects.get(id=entry_id) return e.category.url I think that this is all of the pertinent code. If you would like to see anything else, please let me know.
