Useful Template Tags¶
All of the templatetags are located in templatetags/scheduletags.py. You can look at more of them there. I am only going to talk about a few here.
To load the template tags this must be in your template
{% load scheduletags %}
querystring_for_date
¶
- Usage
{% querystring_for_date <date>[ <num>] %}
This template tag produces a querystring that describes date
. It turns date into a dictionary and then turns that dictionary into a querystring, in this fashion:
>>> date = datetime.datetime(2009,4,1)
>>> querystring_for_date(date)
'?year=2009&month=4&day=1&hour=0&minute=0&second=0'
This is useful when creating links as the calendar_by_period view uses this to display any date besides datetime.datetime.now()
. The num
argument can be used to say how specific you want to be about the date. If you were displaying a yearly calendar you only care about the year so num
would only have to be 1
. See the examples below
>>> querystring_for_date(date, num=1)
'?year=2009'
>>> # Now if we only need the month
>>> querystring_for_date(date, num=2)
'?year=2009&month=4'
>>> # Now everything except the seconds
>>> querystring_for_date(date, num=5)
'?year=2009&month=4&day=1&hour=0&minute=0'
