How to decide which document is being generated
Adalbert Prokop
Is there any possibility to decide inside the python code of the page
template which document is beeing generated?
What I want is the following:
I want to generate a calendar in the top corner of my blogpage. The
calendar on the index page should be the calendar for the actual month
(or better: the month at which the index page was generated).
The calendar in each of the archive pages should refer the month of the
archive page. Here I assume that I'm generating monthly archives.
I've found the shared.archives object, which contains all entries of all
archives. That's fine enough for extracting the entries' metadata. But
can I get the information which archive page or which category page is
beeing generated?
bye,
Adalbert

I think the variable 'pagename' should be defined. I haven't tested
this, but it can probably be used like this:
<#
if pagename == 'index.html':
...do this...
else:
...do that...

If your front page has a different name, use options['frontpage_name'].

This might just work. :) And now a last question: is there an object,
which contains only the entries, which will be published on the $pagename?
As far as I understand the philosophy of the shared-object it contains all
entries, not only those which will be included in the HTML document.

No, but there might be other ways to get this information. In
weblog.py, for example, the create_front_page() method stores this info
in self._fp_entries. For archive pages, there's the 'archives'
variable, etc. However, it would probably require some Firedrop hacking
to make these data available to the user, in a consistent manner.
