Don't know why you think you can't filter on a ForeignKey. The documentation says this: Set list_filter to activate filters in the right sidebar of the change list page of the admin. This should be a list of field names, and each specified field should be either a BooleanField, CharField, DateField, DateTimeField, IntegerField or ForeignKey. http://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/ref/contrib/admin/#list-filter There's a whole class in django.contrib.admin.filterspecs devoted to filtering on related items. -- DR. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.
