Thanks for your reply, Peter. When I set live = BadManager(), it properly returns posts, so maybe the issue is with my LiveEntryManager:
class LiveEntryManager(models.Manager): def get_query_set(self): return super(LiveEntryManager,self).get_query_set().filter (status=self.model.LIVE_STATUS) As for your other suggestions: 1. I haven't set list_display or list_filter for this model. 2. I don't seem to have imported another "models" Live is my default manager because it filters down to published posts. I like your method of adding a "published" method, thus keeping objects intact. However, I was following a tutorial for writing custom templatetags to fetch objects for any installed model: http://www.b-list.org/weblog/2006/jun/07/django-tips-write-better-template-tags/ For the templatetag to filter down to published Entries, I need to have 'live' as the default manager. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.
