Completely lost on this... I'm trying to set up permalinks to my articles, which are using generic views. I've gotten it to work by hard coding the url path into the get_absolute_url function, but I'd like it to be based off the url defined in the view (http:// docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/ref/models/instances/?from=olddocs#the- permalink-decorator).
[from urls.py] news_dict = { 'queryset' : Article.objects.all(), 'date_field' : 'pub_date', } urlpatterns = patterns('django.views.generic.date_based', url(r'^(?P<year>\d{4})/(?P<month>[a-z]{3})/(?P<day>\w{1,2})/(? P<slug>.*)/$', 'object_detail', dict(news_dict, slug_field='slug'), name='article_view'), ) [from models.py] @models.permalink def get_absolute_url(self): return ('article_view', (), { 'year': self.pub_date.strftime('%Y'), 'month': self.pub_date.strftime('%b').lower(), 'day': self.pub_date.strftime('%d') }) get_absolute_url = permalink(get_absolute_url) Whenever I call get_absolute_url, all it returns is an empty string - with no indication of what went wrong. Any ideas on this? I don't see how my code's any different from the docs... --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.
