Thanks for the tip. I don't think the override will work in my
particular case because I don't always add the defaults. I have a
check box on the form "Add default DNS Records" and I check for this
in the view:
if form.is_valid():
domain = form.save(commit=True)
if request.POST.__contains__('addDefaultDNS'):
d = DNSRecord(domain=domain, type='NS', data='ns1.mydomain.com',
aux=0, ttl=7200)
new_d = d.save()
d = DNSRecord(domain=domain, type='NS', data='ns2.mydomain.com',
aux=0, ttl=7200)
new_d = d.save()
Two of the ideas I have are:
1. Add a new model to the app, defaultDNSRecords, then copy the
defaults during the save. This has the benefit that the defaults can
be edited in the app.
2. add some form of dict to settings.py and loop through it.
Is there any standard for doing this sort of thing?
