Django snippets: Link filter

Link filter

@register.filter
def link(object):

    return '<a class="%s-icon" href="%s">%s</a>' % (object.__class__.__name__.lower(),
						    object.get_absolute_url(),
						    object)

Almost too dumb to be worth posting but its saved me a lot of typing.

Instead of:

<div>
    <a href="{{ object.get_absolute_url }} class="object-icon">{{ object }}</a>
</div>

just put:

<div>{{ object|link }}</div>
