I've written an app called django-filter which seems like it may be what you want: http://github.com/alex/django-filter/tree/master . Here's an example of it in use with a ticketing appliation: http://imgur.com/BPpmf.png Alex -- "I disapprove of what you say, but I will defend to the death your right to say it." -- Voltaire "The people's good is the highest law." -- Cicero "Code can always be simpler than you think, but never as simple as you want" -- Me --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.
