Question

I have one model for different types of entries:

POST = 1
PAGE = 2
ARTICLE = 3
ENTRY_TYPE = (
    (POST, "Blog Post"),
    (PAGE, "Page"),
    (ARTICLE, "Article"),
)

entry_type = models.IntegerField(choices=ENTRY_TYPE, default=POST) 

And function to find out absolute url for different types of entries based on it type:

def get_absolute_url(self):        
    if self.PAGE:
        return '/%s/' % (self.slug)
    elif self.ARTICLE:
        return '/article/%s/' % (self.slug)
    elif self.POST:
        return '/blog/%s/' % (self.slug)

But this function doesn’t work, and i can’t find out, why. For all types of entries function return ‘PAGE’ url.

Answer 1

You should be looking at the value of self.entry_type, e.g.:

if self.entry_type == self.PAGE:
    return '/%s/' % (self.slug)
