Django's admin is a few steps up from PHPMyAdmin or some other SQL GUI tool. Uless your use case for your user is precicely a create, read, update and delete interface to your data as represented by your model definitions, you probably will not have the moving parts you need to implement what you want... The minute you want more/different, is (most of the time) literally less work to just roll your own view and template which will give you much more control of the user experience and avoid the inevitable complaints about "why aren't totals at the bottom of tables? How come we have to used this wonky Year/Month/Date drill down? --- Mike -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.
