Matt,
You're using get_absolute_url to return an actual view – it's only
meant to return a string representing the the URL for that model
instance. The generic view information goes in your URL config file
only, and get_absolute_url should return a URL that is matched by one
of the regular expressions in the config. So in your case, it should
look like this:
def get_absolute_url(self):
return "/%s/%s/%s/%s/" % (self.year, self.month, self.day,
self.slug)
That ought to produce a URL that will trigger the date-based object
detail below.

Hope that helps,
Eric
