Slug field name example with DetailView

gistfile1.py

# urls.py
urlpatterns = patterns('',
    url(r'^something/(?P<slug>\d+)/$', MyView.as_view()),
)

# views.py
class MyView(DetailView):
    slug_field = 'my_cool_field'

This is the final version of what I ended up with:

# teams/url.py
from django.conf.urls.defaults import patterns
from teams.views import TeamList, TeamDetail

urlpatterns = patterns('',
    (r'^/?$', TeamList.as_view()),
    (r'^(?P<slug>[\w-]+)/*$', TeamDetail.as_view()),


# views.py
from django.views.generic import DetailView, ListView
from teams.models import Team

class TeamList(ListView):
    queryset = Team.objects.order_by('-name')

class TeamDetail(DetailView):
    model = Team

If that is the sort order that you use the most, you can make it the default in the model's Meta class 😄 then you don't even need to define a special queryset

oooOOOoo. I'm off to try that now. I can be back to needing no code in my view (for now).

how do you invoke the get_absolute_url in the list view?
my model has this get_absolute_url:
def get_absolute_url(self):
return reverse('blog:detail', kwargs= {'slug': self.title})

my urls.py:
url(r'^(?P[-\w]+)/$', PostDetailView.as_view(), name='detail'),

and my views.py:
class PostDetailView(LoginRequiredMixin, DetailView):
model = Post
template_name = 'blog/details.html'
form_class = CommentForm
slug_field = 'title'
slug_url_kwarg = 'slug'

so in the list template, i invoke the get_absolute_url like this:
{{ articles.get_absolute_url }}
and also tried:
{% url 'blog:detail' articles.title %}

it gives the same error as:
NoReverseMatch at /blog/

Reverse for 'detail' with arguments '('Hello Third',)' not found. 1 pattern(s) tried: ['blog/(?P[-\w]+)/$']

pls help me, guys
