Well.. yes, but it's the wrong way to solve the problem. You _could_ write a template tag that takes arguments and passes them to a query set. However, this would be a bad idea, as it requires you to start mixing view logic into templates. The real solution is to write your own view in user space that has the queries you want. There seems to be a popular view that the admin pages are somehow magic, and that writing your own views is hard, and that the easiest solution for every problem is to 'hack the admin view' to make it useful for whatever end-user problem exists. Seriously - the admin view isn't magic. It is made up of fairly ordinary generic views, and a couple of pretty templates. The only slightly difficult bit is the fact that it dynamically determines all the available models in the database. However, if you are developing your own site, you don't need this sort of dynamic discovery - it's just as easy to set up your urlpatterns manually on a per-applicaiton basis. It will almost _always_ be easier to write your own view (or set up a generic view) than to 'hack' the admin view. If you are really smart about it, you can continue to use the pretty admin templates in your own views. The admin view is there as a convenience for (strangely enough) administration, not as a baseline that can be tweaked to produce a deployable application. Django isn't Zope - Django is a framework for building new applications, not a Zope-like application that only requires configuration before deployment.
