You can use this view to have a possibility to use ?paginate_by=x on your generic lists.
Example usage in urls.py:
`url('^list/', object_list_with_paginate_by,
{'queryset': Invoice.objects.all(), 'template_name': 'invoices/list.html', 'paginate_by': 10},
'invoices.list')`
10 is the default objects count per page.
For the first time parameter paginate_by is set in URL, we have to get it straight from there.
If the parameter is set, then also set the cookie for later requests without the parameter
If the parameter is not set, then we try the cookie or default value
- object_list
- cookies
- paginate_by
Just extends your models from this One... is abstract so, it will not generate a table.
Now, in your urls.py do this:
from django.conf.urls.defaults import *
from animals.models import Dog, Cat, Bird
urlpatterns = patterns('animals.views',
url(r'^$', 'index', {},Dog._meta.app_label),
)
dog=Dog()
cat=Cat()
bird=Bird()
urlpatterns+=dog.build_generic_CRUD_urls(Dog)
urlpatterns+=cat.build_generic_CRUD_urls(Cat)
urlpatterns+=bird.build_generic_CRUD_urls(Bird)
then you can create the templates, and get the urls like this:
{{ object.get_absolute_url }} View
{{ object.get_update_url }} Edit
{{ object.get_delete_url }} Delete
{{ dummy_object.get_create_url }} Create
dummy_object is a quick and dirty solution until I find some better...
With all these you can create 54 functional and low detail CRUDS in one hour. :D
Enjoy!
