Hi, I have model with field that has attribute unique set to True. I know newforms are not able to handle such a validation as this is DB related. However I read at newforms doc page that it is possible to provide method called clean_<field>() that can do custom validation. My problem is that method is supposed to access the data via self.cleaned_date and I create form by using form_for_model hence I do not know how to write such a method.
Can anyone point me to right direction or best practice? Handling this at form.save() seem not right to me. My idea was to create custom validation method that would try tu pull object from DB with <fieldname> set to same as in cleaned_data['fieldname'] and if it exists it would raise ValidationError. But I have no clue how to do that at the moment. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.
