just my 2 cents, but I would go with the contenttype framework I would make an event model to stare basic calendar data, like date, time, owner, and a link to anything else (test/quiz, fieldtrip, etc) this way if you later decide to add a new even type, let's say party, you won't have to code anything but the party model. Then you can make all the queries to the general event model, and reach the related objects from there. As a basis you might like django-event-calendar[1] as well, but remember that it's more basic than you. (Though might be nice to "upgrade" according to your plans. :)) [1]: http://code.google.com/p/django-event-calendar V --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.
