Django has a very good templating system which would let you conditionally output different views based on permissions. --- Andrew Gwozdziewycz [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://ihadagreatview.org http://and.rovir.us --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.
