The name of the
DateFieldorDateTimeFieldin theQuerySet’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

Methods and Attributes
- allow_emptyLink to this definition

- 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_queryset(**lookup)Link to this definition

lookup. Enforces any restrictions on the queryset, such asallow_emptyandallow_future.
- get_date_list_period()Link to this definition

Returns the list of dates of type
date_typefor whichquerysetcontains entries. For example,get_date_list(qs, 'year')will return the list of years for whichqshas entries. Ifdate_typeisn’t provided, the result ofget_date_list_period()is used.date_typeandorderingare simply passed toQuerySet.dates().
