How to make DetailView in django 1.3?

Question

I am currently learning how to use class based views in django 1.3. I am trying to update the application to use them, but I am still not very good at how they work (and I read the whole class-based link like two or three times every day).

To the question, I have a space index page that needs additional context data, the url parameter is the name (there is no pk, and this cannot be changed, this is the expected behavior) and users who are not that space selected in their profiles, cannot enter it.

My functional code (works fine):

def view_space_index(request, space_name):

    place = get_object_or_404(Space, url=space_name)

    extra_context = {
        'entities': Entity.objects.filter(space=place.id),
        'documents': Document.objects.filter(space=place.id),
        'proposals': Proposal.objects.filter(space=place.id).order_by('-pub_date'),
        'publication': Post.objects.filter(post_space=place.id).order_by('-post_pubdate'),
    }

    for i in request.user.profile.spaces.all():
        if i.url == space_name:
            return object_detail(request,
                                 queryset = Space.objects.all(),
                                 object_id = place.id,
                                 template_name = 'spaces/space_index.html',
                                 template_object_name = 'get_place',
                                 extra_context = extra_context,
                                )

    return render_to_response('not_allowed.html', {'get_place': place},
                              context_instance=RequestContext(request))

My cool look (doesn't work, and don't know how to proceed):

class ViewSpaceIndex(DetailView):

    # Gets all the objects in a model
    queryset = Space.objects.all()

    # Get the url parameter intead of matching the PK
    slug_field = 'space_name'

    # Defines the context name in the template
    context_object_name = 'get_place'

    # Template to render
    template_name = 'spaces/space_index.html'

    def get_object(self):
        return get_object_or_404(Space, url=slug_field)

    # Get extra context data
    def get_context_data(self, **kwargs):
        context = super(ViewSpaceIndex, self).get_context_data(**kwargs)
        place = self.get_object()
        context['entities'] = Entity.objects.filter(space=place.id)
        context['documents'] = Document.objects.filter(space=place.id)
        context['proposals'] = Proposal.objects.filter(space=place.id).order_by('-pub_date')
        context['publication'] = Post.objects.filter(post_space=place.id).order_by('-post_pubdate')
        return context

urls.py

from e_cidadania.apps.spaces.views import GoToSpace, ViewSpaceIndex
urlpatterns = patterns('',
    (r'^(?P<space_name>\w+)/', ViewSpaceIndex.as_view()),
)

What am I missing for DetailView to work?

, , , sll url 'space_name' 'slug'. view slug_field , , URL. URL- 'slug' ( 'pk', ).

, get_object, queryset, model slug_field, get_object - .

get_object, , :

model = Space
slug_field = 'space_name'
