Do you have objects in the database?
And I just noticed that you were using .get(pk=1). You should be using
.all(). .get() returns a single instance, but object_list expects,
well, a list :)

Not sure, without seeing your models. You can always follow
relationships though, even in templates.

Re: Output category name in a generic view
Thanks Jay but for some reason django doesn't like that - nothing is
output in the view??
While I'm here - if I get that to work how would I take that one step
further and output that categories cescription text - does it make a
huge difference if the dict reads:
ammonite_dict = {
'queryset': Category.objects.get(pk=1),
'allow_empty': 'true',
}
or
ammonite_dict = {
'queryset': Product.objects.filter(categories=1),
'allow_empty': 'true',
}
I think I've messed up a few things along the way because django is
behaving strangely
Cheers,
Allan

Yep, you can use 'extra_context', like this:
(r'^glassware/ammonite/$',
'django.views.generic.list_detail.object_list', dict(ammonite_dict,
template_object_name="products",
template_name="products/products_list.html",
extra_context={"title":"Glassware"})),
Then in the template, you can have
{% block title %}{{title}}{% endblock %}
If you look at the documentation, I think just about every generic
view can take 'extra_context'.

Output category name in a generic view
If I have a dict in my urls.py set up to obtain all products in a
category like this:
ammonite_dict = {
'queryset': Category.objects.get(pk=1),
'allow_empty': 'true',
}
and then use a generic view to map that url:
(r'^glassware/ammonite/$',
'django.views.generic.list_detail.object_list', dict(ammonite_dict,
template_object_name="products",
template_name="products/products_list.html")),
so (a simplified) products_list looks like this:
{% extends "base.html" %}
{% block title %}Glassware{% endblock %}
{% block content %}
{% for object in object_list %}
{{ object }}
{% endfor %}
{% endblock %}
Which all works fine, I get a nice list of products in that category -
problems occur when I want to dynamically add the category title or
description etc. Is there an easy way to do it using generic views?
Many Thanks
Allan
