Sorry I was unclear...
I'm currently using the same song_dict for both podcast and
playlist.xml, which is 'queryset': Song.objects.all(),
That's fine for the podcast. In the template I reverse sort it on
pub_date, and it's perfect.
But for playlist I want something like: 'queryset':
Song.objects.all().order_by('?')[:30] as I don't want all of the
objects, and I need a random sample.
So, my question is, do I need to define a second dict for playlist, or
can I somehow modify song_dict in the URL line to just grab a random
30 items instead of all of them?
