ddh_django_utils 0.9.1

Reusable Django app containing utilities for DDH projects

Provides a number of useful utilities for Django projects, particularly within the context of DDH projects.

Pagination

ddh_utils.utils provides the create_pagination function to generate Paginator and Page objects from the supplied parameters, handling any problems with the supplied page number. This just avoids repeating the example view code from the Django documentation.

The ddh_utils_tags template tag library provides the display_pagination inclusion tag, which outputs the navigation for a set of results, based on the supplied page.

Haystack

ddh_utils.views provides SearchView and FacetedSearchView classes that have better pagination than those in Haystack’s own views, and also add the request’s GET parameters to the context for use in pagination and facetting.

ddh_util_tags provides simple tags for creating URLs by adding and removing facets.
