Quickly into the development of a simple blogging application I
stumbled upon a baffling problem. My index's get function originally
fetched all the posts in the 'posts' table and sent it a template:
the class:
class index:
def GET(self):
posts = db.select('posts')
for post in posts:
post.pubDate = date(post.pubDate)
return render.index(posts)
the template:
$def with (posts)
<html>
<head>
<title>My Blog</title>
</head>
<body>
<h1>My Blog</h1>
$for post in posts:
<div class="post">
<h2><a href="/posts/$post.slug">$post.title</a></h2>
<p>$post.content</p>
<span>$post.pubDate</span>
</div>
</body>
</html>
as you can see, it also converts the timestamp (stored in pubDate)
into a formatted date string ('day' of 'month', 'year') for all the
posts. With this for loop no posts show up on the index, just the
title ('My Blog'). Without it, the index shows the entire post along
with the unformatted timestamp.
The date function works perfectly fine when used in conjunction with
single posts.
Thanks,
Josh
