Perfect! I can't believe I overlooked that in the documentation.

Thanks Brian

Generate a simple news archive list?

2008-12-10 Thread David Lindquist

Hello,
I am building a simple news app for my employer's website. I am using
Django's date-based generic views for the various pages. I want to
have a sidebar listing the archive by year and month like this:

2008

- November
- December

2009

- January

with each item linking to its view (year, month)

I have seen this a thousand times on websites, and it seems like it
should be a fairly easy thing to accomplish. But I can't figure out
how to craft a QuerySet to give me what I want. I suspect I need to
use {% regroup %} in the template as well. I just can't put it all
together.

Can someone point me in the right direction?
