i think so. the view is where you manage _what_ is shown, the template is where you manage _how_ is shown. from that, filtering is usually more apropriate to be done on the view. i usually don't worry too much about the template assuming the view works in a specific way, since templates are _so_ rarely reusable (except for inheritance, but i don't think it's your problem) i don't really get what do you mean by "would have to make assumptions about the type of context variables", filtering data (in the view) usually shoudln't change type of variables (querysets are still querysets), it should only change the content of them. -- Javier -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.
