Views

Easy news uses django generic views system to render pages. Easy news has several url handlers (I mean named patterns):

• news_list - if settings.ENABLE_NEWS_LIST is True, shows list of publicated news
• news_archive_index if news_settings.ENABLE_NEWS_ARCHIVE_INDEX is True, shows content of django.views.generic.date_based.archive_index view
• news_archive_year, news_archive_month, news_archive_day - if settings.ENABLE_NEWS_DATE_ARCHIVE is True, shows news archive by given date
• news_tag_detail - if you use django-tagging and settings.NEWS_TAGGING is True, easy_news provide list of tagged news
