I'm trying to shove some custom query sets into extra context for
something like 5 generic view items. One of the QSs finds all news
items that are marked as 'hot' and is used to display those item (if
they exist) in a small list on any page along with whatever content is
intended for the main column. The QS can apparently return a
DoesNotExist exception instead of a query set, since there 'hot'
objects do not necessarily exist. How would I go about handling this?
I was thinking of doing something like this in URLconf:
def get_hot_items():
try:
Post.objects.get_hot()
except DoesNoExist:
return []
and in extra_context:
extra_context = {
....
hot_news_items: get_hot_items
}
What do you think? Is this the correct way of doing things, or there
is a shortcut / better way? (I'm not currently near my own PC so I
can't test it, but I thought I'd collect some feedback before I get a
chance to test this.)
