I'm looking at a problem and see how to solve it, probably badly, with eval(), but don't see what the right solution is.
I want to use Jeditable more or less to make fields on models editable. Jeditable sends the HTML ID, as well as updated value, when someone makes an in_place edit. I am following a convention where the HTML ID is something like *model*_*field*_*id*, and I would like an Ajax view to do some error checking and if the provided ID is appropriate, take an ID of entity_description_1 to pull up the Entity with id 1 and set its description field to the updated value. I see a way to do this with eval, badly, but what I'd guess of Django is that there's a way to call .get(model_name) or something like that to avoid an eval. Is there a dynamic equivalent to directory.models.Entity.objects.get(pk = 1) or instance.description = value where "Entity" and "description" are effectively replaced by dynamically provided values? -- → Jonathan Hayward, christos.jonathan.hayw...@gmail.com → An Orthodox Christian author: theology, literature, et cetera. → My award-winning collection is available for free reading online: ☩ I invite you to visit my main site at http://JonathansCorner.com/ -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.
