Not sure what you are trying to initialize, but you could call an initialization method from your initial view method. If it is like a new game or new project or new whatever - I have the user click on a start button which then calls a function (in the project or game or whatever model) that retrieves or resets a bunch of variables and creates a new object from that model. Likewise I have some initialize functions in models that create new "seed" data for a new account and are called and executed from the on-submit method that is specified in the login form. Is that what you are trying to do? --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.
