This is probably really basic stuff, but I just can't get my head around it. Sorry if this has been asked and answered before, I tried to look for it, but maybe I wasn't looking for the right thing.
So on my blog pages I want a list of previous entries. I'm mostly using date based generic views, so what I'd like is to see the current entry and links to the previous x entries in a sidebar. I also want them displayed on a more specialized front page, as well as a couple of flatpages. The natural thing to do seemed to be to write an inclusion tag. Initially I simply wrote one that would return a slice of Entry.objects.all(). This was easy enough. However, this only displayed the last entries, not the previous entries to the one being currently displayed. So now I'm trying to make a more generic inclusion tag that takes parameters, something like oldentries(current, offset), but this is where I get stuck. How can I see which entry I'm currently looking at? Is there a way to get its index number? I know I can get its ID, but how to convert that into a useable number for the slice I can't figure out. Is there perhaps a much simpler way of doing this?
