How to extend django.views.generic.date_based to return more "context variables"?

2008-04-14 Thread fizban
Hello, I'm trying to extend django.views.generic.date_based (specifically object_detail). The goal is to make it return more context variables (is that how they are called?) then it is supposed to return. In fact by default it only returns "object" (or the template_object_name name you pass),
