28048	Allow generic date views to use related fields as date_field	Lefteris Nikoltsios	Saurabh 	"For example if we have some models like that:

{{{
class Blog(models.Model):
    title = models.TextField()
    pubdate = models.DateField()

class Article(models.Model):
    blog = models.ForeignKey(Blog)
    title = models.TextFIeld()
    pubdate = models.DateField()
}}}

the following view:

{{{
from django.views.generic.dates import MonthArchiveView

from .models import Article


class ArticleMonthArchiveView(MonthArchiveView):
    queryset = Article.objects.all()
    date_field = 'blog__pub_date'
}}}
