Hi list!

I'm looking for a way to have the number of objects for each date in
the date_list object for the generic view date_based.archive_index.

For example:
- 2009: 12 objects
- 2008: 10 objects

I saw that the generic view is using the method
mymodel.objects.dates(), maybe I can override it. But how?

For now, I'm stick with a static method in my model Class. This method
uses raw sql.

    @staticmethod
    def years():
        from django.db import connection
        cursor = connection.cursor()
        cursor.execute(" \
            SELECT p.published_date, COUNT(*) \
            FROM phog_photo p \
            WHERE p.is_published = 1 AND p.published_date <= '%s' \
            GROUP BY YEAR(published_date) \
            ORDER BY 1 DESC" % datetime.now().strftime("%Y-%m-%d
    %H:%M:%S")) result_list = []
        for row in cursor.fetchall():
            y = (row[0], row[1])
            result_list.append(y)
        return result_list

Is there a better and more elegant way to do this? I would like to
avoid raw sql as far as possible.

Thanks.
