it's the only sensible way. you wouldn't put the database access code in the template, right? similarly, there's no need to deal with less-than-optimal structures in the template. the view code is the appropriate place to gather all relevant data, transform it to a presentation-friendly format and pass to the template just for rendering. -- Javier -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.
