If you visit the Admin's documentation site (link in the top bar), under Models it will point you to the fact that Django magically creates a function for you to do just that. In your example this would be: something.get_kind_display() -- --Max Battcher-- http://www.worldmaker.net/ "I'm gonna win, trust in me / I have come to save this world / and in the end I'll get the grrrl!" --Machinae Supremacy, Hero (Promo Track) --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.
