Hi everyone, I'm using Django 1.5, Python 2.7 on windows 7. I have the following view that extracts and display links from various sources. It works ok. But I don't know how to: 1. save the data to the database and 2. sort it by date extracted.
I hope someone could help me here. views.py: def foo(): site = "http://www.foo.com/portal/jobs" hdr = {'User-Agent' : 'Mozilla/5.0'} req = urllib2.Request(site, headers=hdr) jobpass = urllib2.urlopen(req) soup = BeautifulSoup(jobpass) for tag in soup.find_all('a', href = True): tag['href'] = urlparse.urljoin('http://www.businessghana.com/portal/', tag['href']) return map(str, soup.find_all('a', href = re.compile('.getJobInfo'))) def example(): site = "http://example.com" hdr = {'User-Agent' : 'Mozilla/5.0'} req = urllib2.Request(site, headers=hdr) jobpass = urllib2.urlopen(req) soup = BeautifulSoup(jobpass) return map(str, soup.find_all('a', href = re.compile('.display-job'))) foo_links = foo() example_links = example() def all_links(): return (foo_links + example_links) def display_links(request): name = all_links() paginator = Paginator(name, 25) page = request.GET.get('page') try: name = paginator.page(page) except PageNotAnInteger: name = paginator.page(1) except EmptyPage: name = paginator.page(paginator.num_pages) return render_to_response('jobs.html', {'name' : name}) my template looks like this: <ol> {% for link in name %} <li> {{ link|safe }}</li> {% endfor %} </ol> <div class="pagination"> <span class= "step-links"> {% if name.has_previous %} <a href="?page={{ names.previous_page_number }}">Previous</a> {% endif %} <span class = "current"> Page {{ name.number }} of {{ name.paginator.num_pages}}. </span> {% if name.has_next %} <a href="?page={{ name.next_page_number}}">next</a> {% endif %} </span> </div> My model looks like this: from django.db import models class jobLinks(models.Model): links = models.URLField() pub_date = models.DateTimeField('date retrieved') def __unicode__(self): return self.links It is my first programming project and I can't get this part to work no matter what I tried/searched Any help will be greatly appreciated.
