Reference Generic date views

classArchiveIndexView[source] : A top-level index page showing the “latest” objects, by date. Objects with a date in the future are not included unless you set allow_future to True.

dev

Reference Generic date views

classYearArchiveView[source] : A yearly archive page showing all available months in a given year. Objects with a date in the future are not displayed unless you set allow_future to True.

dev

Reference Generic date views

classMonthArchiveView[source] : A monthly archive page showing all objects in a given month. Objects with a date in the future are not displayed unless you set allow_future to True.

dev

Reference Generic date views

classTodayArchiveView[source] : A day archive page showing all objects for today. This is exactly the same as django.views.generic.dates.DayArchiveView, except today’s date is used instead of the year/month/day arguments.

dev

Reference Generic display views

classdjango.views.generic.detail.DetailView : While this view is executing, self.object will contain the object that the view is operating upon. classdjango.views.generic.detail.BaseDetailView : A base view for displaying a single object.

dev

Reference Built-in class-based views API

Most generic views require the queryset key, which is a QuerySet instance; see Making queries for more information about QuerySet objects.

dev

Reference Editing mixins

classdjango.views.generic.edit.ModelFormMixin : A form mixin that provides facilities for working with a ModelForm, rather than a standalone form.

dev

Reference Multiple object mixins

`context_object_name` : Designates the name of the variable to use in the context. `get_queryset()` : Get the list of items for this view. This must be an iterable and may be a queryset (in which queryset-specific behavior will be enabled).

dev

Reference Multiple object mixins

Requires that the view it is mixed with provides self.object_list, the list of object instances that the view is operating on. self.object_list may be, but is not required to be, a QuerySet.

dev

Reference

For example, here’s the user module from Django’s built-in django.contrib.auth app: WARNING: The “delete selected objects” action uses QuerySet.delete() for efficiency reasons, which > has an important caveat: your model’s delete() method will not be > called.

dev

Reference Admin actions

Action functions are regular functions that take three arguments: The current ModelAdmin An HttpRequest representing the current request, A QuerySet containing the set of objects selected by the user.

dev

Reference Admin actions

Next, we’ll need to inform our ModelAdmin of the action. This works just like any other configuration option.
