Displaying events by month

[grimmus]

Hi,

I am trying to output upcoming events in the following format

June 2012

12th - Event 1

15th - Event 2

July 2012

1st - Event 3

August 2012

20th - Event 4

My model is very simple with just a title and dateTime field. I am unsure how i could output the months followed by the events in the style above. I guess nested loops would be necessary but would i need a separate loop for each month output ?

Thanks for any tips.

First, order by date in your query:

events = Event.objects.order_by('date')

Then in your template, use the ifchanged tag (https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.4/ref/templates/builtins/#ifchanged):

{% for event in events %}
    {% ifchanged event.date.month event.date.year %}
        <h2>month here</h2>
    {% endifchanged %}
    <li>item here</li>
{% endfor %}
