Sounds like the template tag is what you're looking for. Basic template tags are pretty easy and there are some nice helper functions that facilitate the process. They're detailed in the documentation for template tags. That way, your view only needs the brains to pass in what's needed for the template tag's context, and the template can choose to render the tag or skip rendering the tag. -tim --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.
