Newbie with generic views

Hi guys,

I'm trying to make a generic view to see some data, and I'm
having
some trouble.

I have some objects already in the database for the model
I'm trying
to generate this for.

Here's my urls.py:
#=====================
from django.conf.urls.defaults import *
from django.views.generic.list_detail import object_list
from mysite.myapp.models import Competitor

competitor_list_info = {
    'queryset' :   Competitor.objects.all(),
    'allow_empty': True,
	'template_name': 'competitor_list.html'
}

urlpatterns = patterns('',
         #snip#
	 (r'competitors/$', object_list, competitor_list_info)
	)
#=====================


And here's my simple template, competitor_list.html:
#=====================
{% extends "base.html" %}
{% block content %}
<ul class="objectlist">
{% for choice in field.choices %}
<li class="{% cycle odd,even %}"><a
href="{{ choice.url }}">{{ choice.label|escape
}}</a></li>
{% endfor %}
</ul>
{% endblock %}
#=====================

And I get no output...

What am I missing here? Can someone point me in the right
direction? I
can't seem to find any good documentation on writing
templates for
generic views.

Thanks,

Mike

What is field.choices ? object_list doesn't pass _field_
variable to
context.

see Template context section

Hmm...

Looks like I need to access the object_list context... that
seems to
be the first step that I'm missing...

I understand better somewhat already...although a link to
any
resources anyone might know of would be nice...

Thanks.

Mike

I'm on my way. Thanks...sometimes asking the right question
is the
best way to answer it for yourself :(

competitor_list.html
=========================
{% extends "base.html" %}
{% block content %}

<ul class="objectlist">
{% for object in object_list %}
<li><a href="{{ object.id }}">{{
object.fullname }}</a></li>
{% endfor %}
</ul>
{% endblock %}
