Oh, and just one more advice: you can also use the forms.ModelMultipleChoiceField to nicely spit-out a checkbox for each "option" on the Model in a "field", without having to hard-code anything. I also ended up using a custom widget for this field (overriding the CheckboxSelectMultiple), in order to easily modify the markup of each checkbox AND to put a mini-icon beside the checkboxes (from the model's image) instead of text... a really DRY and fast way to generate this filter-forms.... and for colors, you could even use the slug as a class to define the background of a transparent image or so... it just makes fun thinking about all this possibilities ;-)

I think you are right. It would be easier to create my own local-app. I am going to try that. And yes, my idea was to create some context-processors which are going to grab de variables from the GET data that the form is going to yell. This is just in an attempt to remove the "apply" o "refresh" button. Less click, people are lazy :p
Thank a lot!

    Hi,

    I wouldn't do it with tags.

    The first reason: they use generic relations so it can be
    sometimes more complex to make things work the same as with
    "normal" relations. But the main reason for me to avoid using tags
    in your case would be, that it would be very difficult to group
    your attributes, like Material: gold, silver, .... Colors: red,
    green, ... , etc. And lets say use something like a filter-box or
    something based on this goups.

    I think a more flexible and still very easy approach would be to
    use a model for each attribute-group, like:

    class Color(models.Model):
        product = models.ManyToManyField(Product, blank=True, null=True)
        name = models.CharField(_("Name"), max_length=30)
        slug = models.SlugField(...)

    So this way you can filter your products on a selected color like:

    Product.objects.filter(color__slug==myslug)

    You can integrate this Attributes on the admin Product-page adding
    an inline to the object

    For integrating this new attributes on the admin's product page,
    look at my answer (username = andzep) on stackoverflow:

        Hi, I'm building a webstore. I am going to sell Jewelry here,
        so the thing
        is that I have my main categories like "earrings, necklaces"
        and so on. But
        I need some attributes like "Material, color, stone, size".
        But these can't
        be Options because not every product is available in all
        colors or all
        sizes and I don't fell comfortable with attributes because I
        need a way to
        list all this attributes and be able to filter the result as
        per attribute
        selected.
        So I was thinking about installing Django-tagging, it seemes
        this is more
        or less what I need. The only problem is if I am going to be
        able to have a
        tree like distribution for my tagging? and do I have to
        modify the product
        models in order to implement the tagging?
        Thank you in advance.
