Hi Julien
in fact you don't even have to write view for it you can use generic
view as follows:
put in your url.py:
---------------------------------------
from yourproject.cities.models import City
urlpatterns = patterns('',
......
(r'^custom_widget.js',
'django.views.generic.list_detail.object_list', { 'queryset':
City.objects.all(), template_name='custom_widget.html' } ),
............
)
------------------------------------------
with this line you hook all together: model view template and url
recommeded read about generic views :)
good luck
