how do i use {% url ... %} with class based views?

Exactly the same. Your urlpatterns have names, right?

not all free wifi are created equal :/

mattmcc: uh... didn't put names. i just relied on full paths to the view function. guess i'll add those now. thanks.

Names are better for almost all cases, because they let you use the same view twice.

And of course you should be able to change the view for a given pattern without having to edit your templates.

mattmcc: by use the same view twice, you mean like http://paste.ofcode.org/bpEh2RAPKxDuf4bSrECSwt ?

Yeah.

got it. i've been getting by with just capturing stuff from regex to do the same thing.

Is there an easy way to confirm that a prefetch_related call is actually working?

SQL logs?

mattmcc: yeah...had a feeling that might be the answer. I don't think I have that enabled.

mattmcc: Oh, I didn't realize this went to the Django logs. Nice.

mattmcc: You've made my day, thanks.

Sssh. We're writing unit tests.

I have a DetailView class that implements a basic get_object method . I would like to refer to an attribute of my object in the get_context_data method, what is the easiest way to do this?

self.object.foo
