The fix has been in Django since the day it was publicly released: 'raw_id_admin=True'. You think World Online runs sites with tens of thousands of users and hundreds of thousands of stories without running into that? ;) > 2. file uploads are the most vital part of freesound.

I keep meaning to write a blog entry on how easy it is to do this in newforms-admin; all the ugly hacks people have come up with to try to do this just go away. > 4. profiles and get_profile() in the django User.

Big overhead how? get_profile() hangs on to its result so it won't need to query again. Also, the "hacky" method is dangerous when you have multiple sites (if Site A and Site B both want to add a field of the same name, whose field "wins"?). -- "Bureaucrat Conrad, you are technically correct -- the best kind of correct." --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.
