The models need to be rewritten. It might be a better idea use a DateField, you need to not worry about having a seperate foreignkey for month and year.
Try using a slug, instead of searching based pubtitles. Check the models documentation, it will help you. Here are some tips, pubtitle, pubauthors can be CharField. Have an extra field called slug, a slugfield which will be slugified from the title. Your view is searching for an object based on id. If you want to put it up based on title , which I wont recommend, you need to def search_detail(request, pubtitle): p = get_object_or_404(Publication, pubtitle=pubtitle) return render_to_response('search_detail.html', {'publication': p}) Instead search for slug (read the docs) def search_detail(request, slug): p = get_object_or_404(Publication,slug =slug) return render_to_response('search_detail.html', {'publication': p}) urls will be something like search_detail/(?P<slug>[0-9A-Za-z-]+)/$ search_detail/my-new-story/ will give you the results you require. Anna IMHO you need to do some more reading before you code constructively. Just search and google there are enough examples to go thru On Wed, Dec 31, 2008 at 12:06 AM, Ana <adles...@gmail.com> wrote: > > Hello Ramdas, > > The model is here: http://dpaste.com/103815/ > > The URL is here: http://dpaste.com/103816/ > > I've got quite a mess trying to figure out how to move between > templates.
