You don't have to write all the filter statements at once, you can add them incrementally. I usually do this kind of thing like:
var1 = request.GET.get('var1', None) var2 = request.GET.get('var2', None) var3 = request.GET.get('var3', None) object_list = MyModel.objects.all() if var1: object_list = object_list.filter(var1=var1) if var2: object_list = object_list.filter(var2=var2) if var3: object_list = object_list.filter(var3=var3) But I'm usually not dealing with 12 variables (and I often do more than filter in each if block), so you might want to go with something more clever if that's too much typing for your case. Just off the top of my head (untested!): object_list = MyModel.objects.all() for key, value in request.GET.items(): if value: object_list = object_list.filter(**{key: value}) --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.
