I don't understand why my template_object_name is empty in a generic
object_list view. I'm trying to grab all the category names and urls
from my Category model but it's turning up empty, at least
{{ category_list|length }} yields 0. I'm trying to add this info to
the sidebar of a generic object_list view for art projects, so I'm
giving the view the template_name and the template_object_name to
avoid confusion with the generic view it will be included in - already
using the default object_list and app/model_list.html for the main
content. Thanks for any help.
# URL #
from django.conf.urls.defaults import *
from project.models import Category
project_info_dict = {
'queryset': Category.objects.all(),
'template_name': 'portfolioproject_list.html',
'template_object_name': 'category',
}
urlpatterns = patterns('',
(r'^$', 'django.views.generic.list_detail.object_list',
project_info_dict, 'category_list'),
(r'^(?P<slug>[-\w]+)/$', 'project.views.category_detail', {},
'category_detail'),
)
# TEMPLATE #
{% block sidebar %}
<h3>Categories</h3>
<ul>
{% for category in category_list %}
<li>
<a href="{{ category.get_absolute_url }}">{{ category }}</a>
</li>
{% endfor %}
</ul>
{% endblock %}
