Thanks, I did a little changing around but what you recommended was
spot on. Here is the final view
def slideshowAPI2(request):
error = False
if 'id' in request.GET and request.GET['id']:
id = request.GET.get('id')
ids = id.split(',')
object = slideshow.objects.filter(id__in=ids)
return render_to_response('slideshow.json', {'object':
object})
if 'year' in request.GET and request.GET['year']:
year = request.GET['year']
object = serializers.serialize("json",
slideshow.objects.filter(publishdate__year=year))
html = "%s" % object
return HttpResponse(html)
else:
error = True
return render_to_response('slideshow.json', {'error': True})
