This was easier as expected (+1 for dj; any comments welcome): --- my modelFields.py: from django.db import models from formFields import NULLCharFieldF
class NULLCharFieldM(models.Field): def formfield(self, **kwargs): "Returns a FormField which returns an empty string as None instead of ''." defaults = {'form_class': NULLCharFieldF} defaults.update(kwargs) return super(NULLCharFieldM, self).formfield(**defaults) --- --- my formFields.py: from django.core import validators from django.forms.fields import * class NULLCharFieldF(CharField): def to_python(self, value): "Returns a none-empty Unicode object or None." if value in validators.EMPTY_VALUES: return None return smart_unicode(value) --- Next I will try to adapt things like date interval in days etc. Axel --- PGP-Key:29E99DD6 ☀ +49 151 2300 9283 ☀ computing @ chaos claudius -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.
