In Django 0.96 I was able to do something along the lines of:
def list_doohickies(request):
return list_objects(request, 'doohickies', 'doohicky')
def list_objects(request, app_label, model_name, reqd_permission):
model = models.get_model(app_label, model_name)
if model is None:
raise Http404("App %r, model %r, not found" % (app_label,
model_name))
cl = ViewList(request, model)
c = template.RequestContext(request, {
'title': cl.title,
'is_popup': cl.is_popup,
'cl': cl,
})
return render_to_response(['view_list.html'], context_instance=c)
Sadly, this broke badly in Django 1.x.
I would love to find out how to do this in 1.x... Anyone out there
have any ideas?
