Hello, For my blog archive pages, I like to use a pull-down where the selected month is selected.
For that, I want to compare the selected year and month - which are in the url, for example /blog/archive/2015/12/ and passed as context variables into the template - and compare them with the year and month of all the months in the archive pull-down. For me it gets difficult because the month from the url is converted using a dictionary. See: https://github.com/stephenmcd/mezzanine/blob/master/mezzanine/blog/views.py line 4. from calendar import month_name line 38. month = month_name[int(month)] My site is Dutch, but month_name gives me English names. In another multilingual site, the English version works fine, but the Dutch site does not. Compare: https://www.roominreturn.nl/en/blog/archive/2015/7/ https://www.roominreturn.nl/nl/blog/archive/2015/7/ What would be a proper solution? For me, one solution would be if the blog views passed the selected month as an integer into the context. But maybe there are other solutions? Currently, I am using in my template: <div id="archive"> {% with year as selected_year %} {% with month as selected_month %} {# YEAR: {{ selected_year }} MONTH: {{ selected_month }} for debugging #} {% block blog_months %} {% blog_months as months %} {% if months %} <h2 class="table-title">Nieuwsarchief</h2> <select name="archive" class="" id="archive-dropdown"> <option value="/nieuws/">Kies een maand...</option> {% for month in months %} {% ifchanged archive_month.date.year %} <option value="" disabled="disabled">{{ month.date.year }}</option> {% endifchanged %} <option value="{% url "blog_post_list_month" year=month.date.year month=month.date.month %}" {% if month.date|date:"Y" == selected_year and month.date|date:"F" == selected_month|lower %} selected="selected" {% endif %}> {{ month.date|date:"F" }} ({{ month.post_count }}) </option> {% endfor %} </select> {% endif %} {% endblock %} {% endwith %} {% endwith %} </div> Thanks for your help! -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Mezzanine Users" group.
