filter users by group

Hello,

I am banging my brain against the wall but it doesn't help and all I
get is brain damage. Maybe you can help me find a solution for the
following problem?

How can I add a filter to the django admin User interface (/admin/auth/
user/) so I can filter Users by Group?

What I have thought of, is:
1. Alter the template templates/admin/auth/user/change_list.html and
edit it to add a list of existing groups as links.
2. Redirect to ?group_id=1. THIS STEP FAILS!
3. Write a custom UserAdmin and overwrite the queryset method to show
only users of a group, thus:

class UserAdmin(admin.ModelAdmin):
model = User

def queryset(self, request):
group_id = request.GET.get('group_id', '')
if group_id:
return Group.objects.get(id=group_id).user_set.all()
else:
return super(UserAdmin, self).queryset(request)

try:
admin.site.unregister(User)
except admin.sites.Unregistered:
pass
admin.site.register(User, UserAdmin)

The missing link is step 2. How on earth do I get a request.GET
parameter through django's normal filtering process/ how can I combine
it. When I try '/admin/auth/user/?group_id=1', django redirects me to
'/admin/auth/user/?e=1'

Any help and tips will be very much appreciated, thank you!

If someone's has ever done this, I'd really like to know!

Wim
