ok... i've been able to figure out how long it takes based on the time stamp... an hour and a half for a new object to have come in. It appears that the item is not readable by the two templates, one of which using {%for object in latest $} and then another template that doesn't use it at all.
the code that reads the objects instantly is: {% for obj in recent_posts %} <li> <a href="/mysite/blog {{ obj.get_absolute_url }}" title="Permanent Link to {{ obj.title}}"> {{ obj.title}}</a> </li> {% endfor %} which is getting the info from: from django.template import Library, Node from django.db.models import get_model register = Library() class LatestContentNode(Node): def __init__(self, model, num, varname): self.num, self.varname = num, varname self.model = get_model(*model.split('.')) def render(self, context): context[self.varname] = self.model._default_manager.filter (status=1)[:self.num] return '' def get_latest(parser, token): bits = token.contents.split() if len(bits) != 5: raise TemplateSyntaxError, "get_latest tag takes exactly four arguments" if bits[3] != 'as': raise TemplateSyntaxError, "third argument to get_latest tag must be 'as'" return LatestContentNode(bits[1], bits[2], bits[4]) get_latest = register.tag(get_latest) an hour and a half is a bit much... i could deal with 5-10 minutes, but at the same time, if the "Recent entries" list reads immediately... so should the rest of the site --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.
