I have installed third party app(Mezzanine) whose urls are configured to
use their view functions not View Class. Source code from
mezzanine.blog.urls
urlpatterns = patterns("mezzanine.blog.views",16
<http://localhost:8888/source/xref/sonus/env/lib/python2.7/site-packages/mezzanine/blog/urls.py#16>
url("^%stag/(?P<tag>.*)%s$" % _slashes, "blog_post_list",
21
<http://localhost:8888/source/xref/sonus/env/lib/python2.7/site-packages/mezzanine/blog/urls.py#21>
name="blog_post_list_tag"),
18
<http://localhost:8888/source/xref/sonus/env/lib/python2.7/site-packages/mezzanine/blog/urls.py#18>
... 44
<http://localhost:8888/source/xref/sonus/env/lib/python2.7/site-packages/mezzanine/blog/urls.py#44>
)
As we can see they have configured blog URLs to use mezzanine.blog.views. Here
we have few functions which are being called by URL dispatcher. one of them is
below.
* def* blog_post_list(request
<http://localhost:8888/source/s?defs=request&project=sonus>, tag
<http://localhost:8888/source/s?defs=tag&project=sonus>=*None*, year
<http://localhost:8888/source/s?defs=year&project=sonus>=*None*, month
<http://localhost:8888/source/s?defs=month&project=sonus>=*None*, username
<http://localhost:8888/source/s?defs=username&project=sonus>=*None*,20
<http://localhost:8888/source/xref/sonus/env/lib/python2.7/site-packages/mezzanine/blog/views.py#20>
category
<http://localhost:8888/source/s?defs=category&project=sonus>=*None*,
template="blog <http://localhost:8888/source/s?path=blog/>/blog_post_list.html
<http://localhost:8888/source/s?path=blog/blog_post_list.html>",21
<http://localhost:8888/source/xref/sonus/env/lib/python2.7/site-packages/mezzanine/blog/views.py#21>
extra_context
<http://localhost:8888/source/s?defs=extra_context&project=sonus>=*None*):22
<http://localhost:8888/source/xref/sonus/env/lib/python2.7/site-packages/mezzanine/blog/views.py#22>
"""23

author or category. Custom templates are checked for using the name25
<http://localhost:8888/source/xref/sonus/env/lib/python2.7/site-packages/mezzanine/blog/views.py#25>
``blog <http://localhost:8888/source/s?path=blog/>/blog_post_list_XXX.html
<http://localhost:8888/source/s?path=blog/blog_post_list_XXX.html>`` where
``XXX`` is either the26
<http://localhost:8888/source/xref/sonus/env/lib/python2.7/site-packages/mezzanine/blog/views.py#26>
category slug or author's username if given.27
<http://localhost:8888/source/xref/sonus/env/lib/python2.7/site-packages/mezzanine/blog/views.py#27>
"""
I would like to override this function so that it will call my function to
update context dictionary or pass some more arguments to default function
blog_post_list (it's having an argument extra_context so we can use this as
external context)
How can I achieve this ?
Please provide complete details like do we have to modify urlpatterns then
what should be changed, if we have to change view then what should be change ?
