I created a simple_tag:
def news_for_this_page(page):
if page.entity_set.all(): # check page belongs to an entity first
e = page.entity_set.all()[0] # first entity will be only one
newslist = []
for item in e.newsitem_set.all(): # get entity's news items
newslist.append(item.headline) # add them to the list
return newslist
else:
return "No news is good news"
What this spits back into the page is:
[u'Man bites dog', u'Dog bites man', u'Nixon resigns']
so obviously I need to process that list, making it a <ul> and putting
in the links before sending that to the template.
To do this, I think I need my function to call another template to
render it appropriately - is that correct?
Are there any shortcuts in this process?
For example, to use my template tag I use {% news_for_this_page entity
%}. It would be neater to use something like {% news_for_this_page %},
since entity will always be set.
Thanks,
Daniele
