Two things that I'd do. If it's a one off that you'll want to have a list of stuff in these models then just make a view. Otherwise I would recomment writing an inclusion tag for the tempatating system for each model. Information about inclusion tags can be found here (http://www.djangoproject.com/documentation/templates_python/#inclusion-tags). > MerMer > > > > > --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.
