You give it a list of all dates where you have entries, and it prints a single date - in the default format. If you want a different list of dates to be printed, then you will need to pass that list into your view so your template can iterate over it. Make sure you handle the case where no entries are available, either by not rendering those dates as links, or making sure that you have the empty case handled on the view. As for formatting the date, Django provides filters that can do this: http://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/ref/templates/builtins/#date > 2.

The same way you incorporate any other piece of a Django template - using {% extends %} http://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/ref/templates/builtins/#extends Yours Russ Magee %-) --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.
