Currently in my forum app, the topic last modified date is auto set:
topic_modification_date = models.DateTimeField(auto_now = True,
blank=True)
I want to set that to false and explicitly set it when certain views
happen (namely, new topic or new posts). I don't want it to set when
other things happen (like deleting a post).
So, in my view, I've imported datetime, and it works fine in other
views that need it. But in the add_topic view, it's returning null.
Here's a truncated version of the view:
def add_topic(request, forum_slug):
if request.user.is_authenticated():
forum = Forum.objects.get(forum_slug=forum_slug)
manipulator = Topic.AddManipulator()
if request.POST and len(request.POST.copy()
['post_text']) > 1:
page_data = request.POST.copy()
page_data['topic_posts'] = 1
page_data['topic_views'] = 1
page_data['topic_modification_date'] =
datetime.datetime.now()
page_data['post_text'] =
html2safehtml(page_data['post_text'],valid_tags=('b', 'a', 'i', ...
'blockquote'))
manipulator.do_html2python(page_data)
new_place = manipulator.save(page_data)
I even tried just returning datetime.datetime.now() from within the
view, and that worked. But when I try to save it to the database, it's
null.
Any ideas?
