I was messing around today with django-gencal but the lack of an easy to follow documentation was a bit of a problem. I got some help from the official Django docs but most especially from this excelent post/howto from James Bennett.
PS: Just needed to reference this for future use. My delicious account has way too much stuff.
Hey Marco,
Glad you got it working. I'm actually improving gencal's documentation this week as it /is/ a bit hard to follow. Hopefully it all worked itself out. Thanks so much for trying it out!
Hi Marco,
Could you provide me a snippet code showing how you are using the gencal module. It would save me some times :)
Thks
Hi J-Chris,
The current version of gencal is probably a bit different than the one I tested, but anyway..
View:
from django.shortcuts import render_to_response, get_object_or_404
import datetime
def index(request,year,month):
cal_items = [{ 'day':datetime.datetime(2008,6,30), 'title':"Concert at Huckelberries", 'class':"concert", 'url':'/foo/2' },
{ 'day':datetime.datetime(2008,6,4), 'title':"BBQ at Mom\'s house", 'class':"restaurant", 'url':'/restaurants/9' }]
return render_to_response('project/index.html', { 'month': month,
'year': year,
'cal_items' : cal_items })
In the template all you need is this:
{% load gencal %}
{% gencal cal_items %}
