Sweet, thanks! I managed to use the stuff you provided to accomplish what I want; now, in views, I can just use Foo.object.all() (or similar) and the returned set will have already been filtered according to the "domain" of the user. Now I only have to figure out exactly what it is I've done... :-) I guess the principle is that a single request/response always runs in one and only one thread, so therefore I can tuck stuff away in thread local storage and access it down the line during the same request/response "cycle", right? Thanks again! Regards, johan --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.
