Re: Best way of getting objects within a certain date range (method or manager)?
Yes, it sounds like a custom manager will do the job. Here's what I
added:
class CurrentManager(models.Manager):
def get_query_set(self):
return super(CurrentManager,
self).get_query_set().filter(event_date
> datetime.date.today())
class Event(models.Model):
ATTIRE_CHOICES = (
('C', 'Casual'),
('F', 'Formal'),
)
slug = models.SlugField(prepopulate_from=('name',), unique=True,
help_text='This field will prepopulate from the name field.')
name = models.CharField(max_length=200)
location = models.ForeignKey('Location')
description = models.TextField(help_text='Please use http://daringfireball.net/projects/markdown/syntax;>Markdown
syntax.')
event_date = models.DateField()
start_time = models.TimeField()
finish_time = models.TimeField()
attire = models.CharField(max_length=1, choices=ATTIRE_CHOICES)
featured_event = models.BooleanField()
featured_event_photo = models.ForeignKey(Photo, blank=True,
raw_id_admin=True, null=True)
category = models.ForeignKey(Category)
objects = models.Manager()
current = CurrentManager()
Only, when I try to get the current Event objects via the Django
shell, I receive an error:
>>> Event.current.all()
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "", line 1, in
File "/home/ypknox/webapps/django/lib/python2.5/django/db/models/
manager.py", line 67, in all
return self.get_query_set()
File "/home/ypknox/webapps/django/ypknox/apps/events/models.py",
line 8, in get_query_set
return super(CurrentManager,
self).get_query_set().filter(event_date > datetime.date.today())
NameError: global name 'event_date' is not defined
It sounds like I'm using "event_date" without defining it first. But
the examples in the Django documentation do the same thing. What am I
doing wrong?

Use a custom manager, definitively. cf James Bennett's post on this

Best way of getting objects within a certain date range (method or manager)?
I'm wanting to display only current (vs. expired) calendar events via
my Django events app. Each event has a date that it will occur. But
I'm not sure of the best method to get only the current events in the
db.
Current events are those whose date is less than or equal to the
present date. They are expired when the present date is greater than
the event date.
I have been able to display only the current events in the generic
list view for all events by doing the following in my URLs:
event_list_info = {
'queryset' : Event.objects.filter(date__gte=datetime.date.today()),
'allow_empty' : True,
}
What's the best way to do this in my models?
