    <p>I have the following urlconf:</p> <pre><code>urlpatterns = patterns('page.manager.views', url(r'^$', 'pages', name='page_manager-pages'), url(r'^add/$', 'add_page', name='page_manager-add_page'), url(r'^(?P&lt;page_id&gt;\d+)/', include(object_patterns)), ) </code></pre> <p>The 'pages' view must return an object list of all pages. The user will be offered several display/search options through a side menu: - created: any/ past 6hours/12hours/24hours/week - Status: any/ status_1/status_2/status_3 - Duration: any / duration_1/duration_2/duration_3 etc.</p> <p>These options are used to select which values should be presented to the user and can be used in combination, eg: created=any, status=status_1, duration=duration_1</p> <p>My question is, how best to achieve this in Django? </p> <p>What I have so far: I can subclass a generic view for list objects, creating a view which takes the arguments(created, status, duration, etc) and provides the proper queryset(with the chosen[or default] ordering options passed along with the other arguments).</p> <p>To pass these arguments, query strings seem to be right for this, since we are selecting from a resource(the list of all pages). Yes/no?</p> <p>I'm also aware we get this information from request.GET.get('argument_name').</p> <p>But how to create the links for the search options? eg: any, any/ status_1/status_2/status_3. We need to know which are already active, so...template tag? An easier way perhaps?</p> <p>Is this the proper solution to handle this type of thing in Django, or is there a better way?</p>

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
