Question

I have a query in django that:

• gets the current category.
• based on that gets all it’s sub categories
• then make a query to get the articles that are contained in the above sub_categories

My template should be displaying all articles with divisions based on those sub_categories.

How might I do it?

thanks (:

{% for article in articles %}
    {% ifchanged article.category %}
        <p>{{ article.category }}</p>
    {% endifchanged %}
    <a href="#" class="item">
        <span>{{article.code}}</span>
        <span class="large">{{article.description}}</span>
        <span>{{article.family_name}}</span>
        <span class="small">{{article.last_cost|floatformat:2}}</span>
        <span class="small">{{article.sell_price1|floatformat:2}}</span>
        <span class="small">{{article.stock|floatformat:2}}</span>
        <span class="last">{{article.stock_consignments|floatformat:2}}</span>
    </a>
{% endfor %}

You can create a dictionary in your view code, with one entry per category that contains a list of the articles. So it looks something like this:

{ 'category1' : [ <all articles for this category> ], ... }

Will make it much easier for the template code.
