You could probably consider using post_save signals and make things a
bit little more generic.
Thanks - I'll read up on that ...

I want to update a history record whenever a particular record
changes.
Is it reasonable to call a method from within the save method of a
model to go off and do the work?
def updatehistory(recordx):
""" if HistoryX doesn't exist, insert it so the RecordX
author can add commentary. Also, add to the story with
changed values from recordx every time RecordX.save() """
pass
class RecordX(models.Model):
... various fields including 'ancestor' ...
def save(self, **kwargs):
super(RecordX, self).save(**kwargs)
updatehistory(self)
class HistoryX(models.Model):
relation = models.OneToOneField(RecordX, to_field='ancestor')
story = models.TextField()
Is there a better way?
Thanks
