Hello,
I wrote a special kind of blog- or news application. One of the
specialities of this application is, that authors are able to make
entries visible/invisible by a date range or by a simple switch to
hide the entry. This works well. But (the authors are not supposed to
use the admin interface) authors need to be able to change the state
of 'invisible' entries if they are in editing mode. Therefore, the
view selects _all_ entries if one is logged in but only visible ones
if one is not logged in.
To support authors and show them if an entry is visible for the normal
user or not, invisible entries have a different layout than visible
ones. Using a booelan field 'entry.hide' in the template is easy by {%
if entry.hide %}...
But how can I deal with the date range? I have two fields: 'show_from'
and 'show_until' to restrict the visible date range for each entry.
The essence of what I need is something like this:
IF entry.hide == True OR entry.show_from > date.today() OR
entry.show_until < date.today() THEN ...
In my template currently I use a statement like this: {% if entry.hide
%} class="hidden"{% endif %} to change the section layout for
invisible sections. But if the entry is "invisible" because of the
date range, I had no success to mark the entry 'hidden' in the
templete.
Currently my application runs on Django 0.96, but I did not found any
solution to this question even in Django 1.0
Is there a solution?
Many thanks in advance,
Manfred.
