You can do something like this:
from django.db.models import Q
def my_view(request):
query = Q()
for i in range(1, 13):
chk = "var%d" % i
if request.has_key(chk) and request[key]:
query = query & Q(**{chk:True})
objects = MyModel.objects.filter(query)
You build up a dynamic "and" query with a term for each checked box in
the UI. Then you use that compound query to filter your model objects.
Now that I think about it, since this is an "and" you could also do:
def my_view(request):
query = {}
for i in range(1, 13):
chk = "var%d" % i
if request.has_key(chk) and request[key]:
query[chk] = True
objects = MyModel.objects.filter(**query)
The first pattern is a little more generic (would also work with an
"or").
