I’m trying to create an archive so I pass to the view the arguments year and month.
However, I get an error with the code below and I can’t figure out what it means and how to solve it:
Exception Type: TypeError
Exception Value: archive() got an unexpected keyword argument 'year_id'
Exception Location: /usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/django/core/handlers/base.py in get_response, line 115
What can be wrong?
views.py
# loop over years and months
def mkmonth_lst():
if not Post.objects.count():
return []
# set up vars
year, month = time.localtime()[:2]
first = Post.objects.order_by("created")[0]
fyear = first.created.year
fmonth = first.created.month
months = []
# loop over years and months
for y in range(year, fyear-1, -1):
start, end = 12, 0
if y == year: start = month
if y == fyear: end = fmonth-1
for m in range(start, end, -1):
months.append((y, m, month_name[m]))
return months
def archive(request, year, month):
posts = Post.objects.filter(created__year=year, created__month=month)
context = {'PostList': posts, 'Months': mkmonth_lst()}
return(render, 'archives.html', context)
urls.py
url(r'^archives/(?P<year_id>d+)/(?P<month_id>d+)$', views.archive, name='archives'),
Update:
models.py
class Post(models.Model):
title = models.CharField(max_length=100)
body = models.TextField()
created = models.DateTimeField(auto_now_add=True)
url = models.URLField(null=True, blank=True)
video = models.FileField(upload_to = 'video', verbose_name = 'Video', null=True, blank=True)
picture = models.ImageField(upload_to = 'post', verbose_name = 'Picture')
tags = TaggableManager()
def __unicode__(self):
return self.title
Template
<h3>Archivo</h3>
<p>
{% for month in months %}
{% ifchanged month.0 %} {{ month.0 }} <br /> {% endifchanged %}
<a href="/blog/archives/{{month.0}}/{{month.1}}">{{ month.2 }}</a> <br />
{% endfor %}
</p>

Answer
There is something wrong with your parameters names :
def archive(request, year, month):
Replace year
and month
by year_id
and month_id
and it should work.
EDIT:
For your second error, and accordingly to this question, your archive()
view does not return a proper response.
Here is your code, fixed :
from django.shortcuts import render_to_response
def archive(request, year_id, month_id):
posts = Post.objects.filter(created__year=year_id, created__month=month_id)
context = {'PostList': posts, 'Months': mkmonth_lst()}
# the error was here
return render_to_response('archives.html', context)
Edit 2 :
Your template can’t iterate through months
because the var does not exist in context:
context = {'PostList': posts, 'Months': mkmonth_lst()} # Not correct
context = {'postList': posts, 'months': mkmonth_lst()} # Correct
Do you see the difference ? You use caps for your variables names (“Months”) in the first one, while the template rendered, which is case-sensitive, looks for a lower case variable (“months”).
