You may want to think about storing the weekdays as numeric equivalents e.g. 0 = Sunday, 1 = Monday etc. Then you could use a CommaSeparatedIntegerField to store any combo you need - see: http://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/ref/models/fields/#commaseparatedintegerfield http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1208698/how-do-i-use-commaseparatedintegerfield-in-django http://www.pubbs.net/200908/django/9885-how-to-use-selectmultiple-widget-with-commaseparatedintegerfield-.html Alternatively, you write a custom field - see: http://www.davidcramer.net/code/181/custom-fields-in-django.html -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.
