Re: merge data from multiple models

Hi there,

Templates can do lookups into a dictionary, see
https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.4/topics/templates/#variables
(check the "Behind the scenes" section).

From what you've described, I'd try to prepare the necessary data in
a view (using caching, if possible at all), build the appropriate data
structure to be displayed and then use the template layer to do a
"dummy" display. Then you'd have the full power of Python at your
disposal to perform the best access to your data and combining the
models together into and array of items or a dictionary, depending on
your need.
