How to manage feeds with subclassed object in Django 1.2?
- by Matteo
Hi,
I'm trying to generate a feed rss from a model like this one, selecting all the Entry objects:
from django.db import models
from django.contrib.sites.models import Site
from django.contrib.auth.models import User
from imagekit.models import ImageModel
import datetime
class Entry(ImageModel):
date_pub = models.DateTimeField(default=datetime.datetime.now)
author = models.ForeignKey(User)
via = models.URLField(blank=True)
comments_allowed = models.BooleanField(default=True)
icon = models.ImageField(upload_to='icon/',blank=True)
class IKOptions:
spec_module = 'journal.icon_specs'
cache_dir = 'icon/resized'
image_field = 'icon'
class Post(Entry):
title = models.CharField(max_length=200)
description = models.TextField()
slug = models.SlugField(unique=True)
def __unicode__(self):
return self.title
class Photo(Entry):
alt = models.CharField(max_length=200)
description = models.TextField(blank=True)
original = models.ImageField(upload_to='photo/')
class IKOptions:
spec_module = 'journal.photo_specs'
cache_dir = 'photo/resized'
image_field = 'original'
def __unicode__(self):
return self.alt
class Quote(Entry):
blockquote = models.TextField()
cite = models.TextField(blank=True)
def __unicode__(self):
return self.blockquote
When I use the render_to_response in my views I simply call:
def get_journal_entries(request):
entries = Entry.objects.all().order_by('-date_pub')
return render_to_response('journal/entries.html', {'entries':entries})
And then I use a conditional template to render the right snippets of html:
{% extends "base.html" %}
{% block main %}
<hr>
{% for entry in entries %}
{% if entry.post %}[...]{% endif %}[...]
But I cannot do the same with the Feed Framework in django 1.2...
Any suggestion, please?
