Permalink decorator pt. 2

Follow up

Since writing briefly about Django's permalink decorator I've had quite a few emails regarding the use of the permalink decorator and generic views.

Here is what works for me...

I often have the following urlconf in urls.py:

   urlpatterns = patterns('django.views.generic.date_based',   
   (r'^(?P<year>d{4})/(?P<month>d{1,2})/(?P<day>w{1,2})/(?P<slug>[-w]+)/$', 
    'object_detail', dict(info_dict, month_format='%m')),
   )

And the corresponding get_absolute_url method cut straight from my class looks like this:

   @permalink
   def get_absolute_url(self):
       """
       return
           absolute url of this object
       """
       #pylint: disable-msg=E1101
       return ('django.views.generic.date_based.object_detail', None, {
           'year': self.create_date.year,
           'month': self.create_date.strftime('%m'),
           'day': self.create_date.strftime('%d'),
           'slug': self.slug})
