As a Django beginner I'm working on the the tutorial provided by django docs at https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.5/intro/tutorial04/
In it they demonstrate a list of multiple polls that are listed using a query by publication date. Could I add another list to be also used in the template to be used as well. Example Displaying a list of latest polls by date and another by alphabetical order on the same page.
class IndexView(generic.ListView):
template_name = 'polls/index.html'
context_object_name = 'latest_poll_list'
def get_queryset(self):
"""Return the last five published polls."""
return Poll.objects.order_by('-pub_date')[:5]
Absolutely, you'll just need to write your own 'get_context_data' method that will retrieve those values and then they will be available in the view. Something like:
def get_context_data(self, *args, **kwargs):
context = super(IndexView, self).get_context_data(*args, **kwargs)
context['alphabetical_poll_list'] = Poll.objects.order_by('name')[:5]
return context
With this both {{ latest_poll_list }} and {{ alphabetical_poll_list }} would be available in your template.
