I want this field to be saved encrypted in the db, but appear unencrypted everywhere else. My question is which combination of field methods should I use?
I have gotten parts of this working with various combinations of the methods below, but can't get it all to work. Using one method makes modelform save work, but then I can't access the field directly with model.secret because it is still encrypted. If I use the to_python method, I can access the field with model.secret but the modelform handling breaks. class EncryptedCharField(models.CharField): __metaclass__ = models.SubfieldBase def save_form_data(self, instance, data): setattr(instance, self.name, encrypt(data)) def value_from_object(self, obj): return decrypt(getattr(obj, self.attname)) #def to_python(self, value): # return decrypt(value) class MyModel(models.Model): secret = EncryptedCharField(max_length=100) -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.
