Hi Everyone,

Thanks really much for all those pointers!  Templatetags are exactly
what I wound up doing.  RossP -- thanks for your blog and example
download code -- saved me to see actual working stuff :)

Cheers,

Seemant

I needed just that so I wrote a template tag for it [1].

Usage is like this:

{% load archivedates %}
{% get_archive_dates news.Entry pub_date as archive_dates %}
{% if archive_dates %}
News Archiv

{% for archive in archive_dates %}
{{ 
archive|date:"F Y" }}
{% endfor %}


{% endif %}

Hope that helps
Steven

Hi Seemant,

There's no single construct that would do all that for you. But there
are a few handy ways that you could consider:

1. Pass the distinct list of months in 'extra_context' to the generic
view date_based.archive_index and use that list in your template.

2. The generic view date_based.archive_year provides a date_list to
your template -- it's a distinct list of months for the year. It can be
used to build up a list on the right side panel.

3. Write a custom template tag to build up this list. I would
personally go with this one for its DRY benefits. This article covers
it very nicely:
(http://www.rossp.org/blog/2006/jun/23/building-blog-django-4/) It also
uses the same technique to show Tags on the right.

I use that construction:

http://www.djangoproject.com/documentation/templates/#regroup

views.py
---
months = Article.objects.dates('pub_date', 'month', 'DESC')

dates = [{
  'year': m.year,
  'month': m.month,
  'count': Article.objects.filter(pub_date__year=m.year,
pub_date__month=m.month) .count(),
} for m in months]

template
-
{% regroup dates by year as years %}

{% for year in years %}
{{ year.grouper }}

{% for month in year.list %}
{{ m
onth.month|month }} ({{ month.count }}) {% endfor %}

{% endfor %}

You could write a template tag to do it pretty easily, the database
lookup would be

Entry.objects.dates('pub_date', 'month', order='DESC')

And you'd have a list of datetime objects corresponding to all the
months in which there are entries. I think the reason the Django site
doesn't use it is that A) that blog app was probably put together
really quickly, and B) it was put together in the ancient dark ages
before 0.90, when the 'dates' construct wasn't available (that was
added in 0.95), and nobody's ever had the time to go back and fix
that.
