Well you could have some kind of mapping between GET args and model attributes. I have one view like that where I process GET key values and stick them directly into a .filter() after a bit of processing, i.e. Model.objects.filter(**kwargs). Not sure if that answers your question, but hope it helps. I think what you are after is GET string processing, not sure of a way around the grunt work. -- Milan --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.
