thank you

:)

with a ManyToManyField with intermediate model, can i get the nifty filter_horizontal interface?

Magus: sorry, should have thought ahead: http://pastebin.com/d14f0fa9e

well of course that won't work

you can't use a tag in a tag

i'm just trying to wrap my head around template tags for the first time... i don't quite understand?

the for loop is looking for a VARIABLE named mfgs

not a tag

you CANNOT use a tag in a tag like that

you also can't return a queryset or object through a simple_tag

simple_tags do something and return strings

a full tag can edit context in its render()

so you can do a query and insert the data into context

django-template-utils has tags that do what you're after, you could look at them as an example

or just use them

ok great, i'll look for that

thanks!
