Calendar-based blog archive
September 21st, 2008
Over to the right, in the sidebar, you may notice a nifty javascript calendar displaying the current month with some days highlighted. It is, in fact, a navigation tool for the blog. The highlighted days are the days with posts. Click on a day, see the posts for that day. If there are no posts for that day, it falls back to the month. If there are no posts for that month, it falls back to the year. Pretty simple stuff, really.
The calendar is implemented with YUI, and the fallback mechanism is, of course, all Django code. The fallback isn't something that's built into Django, sadly, but was relatively easy to implement by just wrapping Django's date-based generic views in some views of my own. Really it's just a simple 'try except' block that catched a 404 error and instead returns a redirect. Not too shabby, if I do say so myself:
from django.template import loader
from django.http import Http404, HttpResponseRedirect
from django.views.generic import date_based
def archive_month(request, year, month, queryset, date_field, month_format='%m', template_name=None, template_loader=loader, extra_context=None, allow_empty=False, context_processor=None, template_object_name='object', mimetype=None, allow_future=False):
try:
return date_based.archive_month(request, year, month, queryset, date_field, month_format, template_name, template_loader, extra_context, allow_empty, context_processor, template_object_name, mimetype, allow_future)
except Http404:
return HttpResponseRedirect("/%s/" % year)
def archive_day(request, year, month, day, queryset, date_field, month_format='%m', day_format='%d', template_name=None, template_loader=loader,extra_context=None, allow_empty=False, context_processor=None, template_object_name='object', mimetype=None, allow_future=False):
try:
return date_based.archive_day(request, year, month, day, queryset, date_field, month_format, day_format, template_name, template_loader, extra_context, allow_empty, context_processor, template_object_name, mimetype, allow_future)
except Http404:
return HttpResponseRedirect("/%s/%s/" % (year, month))
(Also check out nifty syntax highlighting! Based off this snippet from Django snippets, modified to remove the Markdown bits. And by highlighting, I of course mean formatting. I'll be adding fun colors and such to it in the near future.)
