i understand that, but the problem is that such thing is quite hard to integrate into the admin-framework. because i do not control the model (the model is django.models.auth.users). my previous solution was like you mentioned. i had my own view, with all the code entered, but i kept fighting with things like the history for the model object, permissions, custom links in the admin-index-page, things like that. in other words, the current solution (javascript based) is an implementation-hack, but integrates cleanly with the admin-framework. the old solution was a clean implementation the integration of which was a hack :)) but if you have an idea how such a custom view can be nicely integrated into the admin-framework, just tell me (i still have the sources for that view). gabor --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.
