I have a client that has hundreds of documents that are tagged that we need to query and list on a page. I want to write a TemplateTag so its more reusable, but I have no idea how to query the builtin Wagtail image and document models. The below code is what I am starting with Document.objects.all() added for placement only. Any help would be appreciated.
@register.inclusion_tag(
'tags/_document_snippets.html', takes_context=True
)
def document_snippets(context):
documents = Documents.objects.all()
return {
'documents': documents,
'request': context['request'],
}
So I thought I would answer my own question for the benefit of others.
import get_document_model
from wagtail.wagtaildocs.models import get_document_model
create tag
@register.inclusion_tag(
'tags/_documents_snippets.html',
takes_context=True
)
def document_snippets(context):
Document = get_document_model()
documents = Document.objects.all()
return {
'documents': documents,
'request': context['request'],
}
add to template
{% for doc in documents %}
<a href="{{ doc.url }}">{{ doc.title }}</a>
{% endfor %}
