DateMixinLink to this heading

class DateMixinLink to this definition

A mixin class providing common behavior for all date-based views.

Methods and Attributes

date_fieldLink to this definition

The name of the DateField or DateTimeField in the QuerySet’s model that the date-based archive should use to determine the list of objects to display on the page.

When time zone support is enabled and date_field is a DateTimeField, dates are assumed to be in the current time zone. Otherwise, the queryset could include objects from the previous or the next day in the end user’s time zone.

allow_futureLink to this definition

get_date_field()Link to this definition

Returns the name of the field that contains the date data that this view will operate on. Returns date_field by default.

get_allow_future()Link to this definition

Determine whether to include «future» objects on this page, where «future» means objects in which the field specified in date_field is greater than the current date/time. Returns allow_future by default.

BaseDateListViewLink to this heading

class BaseDateListViewLink to this definition

A base class that provides common behavior for all date-based views. There won’t normally be a reason to instantiate BaseDateListView; instantiate one of the subclasses instead.

While this view (and its subclasses) are executing, self.object_list will contain the list of objects that the view is operating upon, and self.date_list will contain the list of dates for which data is available.

Mixins

Methods and Attributes

allow_emptyLink to this definition

A boolean specifying whether to display the page if no objects are available. If this is True and no objects are available, the view will display an empty page instead of raising a 404.

This is identical to django.views.generic.list.MultipleObjectMixin.allow_empty, except for the default value, which is False.

date_list_periodLink to this definition

Optional A string defining the aggregation period for date_list. It must be one of 'year' (default), 'month', or 'day'.

get_dated_items()Link to this definition

Returns a 3-tuple containing (date_list, object_list, extra_context).

date_list is the list of dates for which data is available. object_list is the list of objects. extra_context is a dictionary of context data that will be added to any context data provided by the MultipleObjectMixin.

get_dated_queryset(**lookup)Link to this definition

Returns a queryset, filtered using the query arguments defined by lookup. Enforces any restrictions on the queryset, such as allow_empty and allow_future.

get_date_list_period()Link to this definition

Returns the aggregation period for date_list. Returns date_list_period by default.

get_date_list(queryset, date_type=None, ordering='ASC')Link to this definition

Returns the list of dates of type date_type for which queryset contains entries. For example, get_date_list(qs, 'year') will return the list of years for which qs has entries. If date_type isn’t provided, the result of get_date_list_period() is used. date_type and ordering are simply passed to QuerySet.dates().
