Added a list of recent articles on WBO

A small new feature on WBO was added, the list of 5 last articles, displayed under the menu. Once again, Django does it so easy.

Just create a new file named article_tags.py in the folder templatetags of the article application.

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10

from django.template import Library from ..models import Article register = Library() @register.inclusion_tag('article/tags/recent_articles.html') def get_recent_articles(number=5): articles = Article.published.all()[:number] return {'articles': articles,}

Add the template (recent_articles.html) in subfolder tags of the article application:

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10

<span class="menu_section_title">Recent articles</span> <ul> {% for article in articles %} <li class="with-disc"> <a href="{{ article.get_absolute_url }}"> <span class="menu_articles_title">{{ article.title }}</span> </a> </li> {% endfor %} </ul>

And the stuff is ready to use. In a template, just load the article tags and use the new tag:

1 2 3 4

{% load article_tags %} <div id="recent_articles" class="menu_section"> {% get_recent_articles %} </div>

Now I'm starting to work on a hierarchical tree of articles. Stay wired on WBO for new adventures with Django and especially with regroup tag !!
