You should only have trusted users in the admin anyway, so I don't see
what the problem is with incrementing IDs, but auto generation is
easy. You just need to create your own save() method that sets the ID
and then calls the existing save() method of the model class. For
example:
def save(self):
self.id = self.getRandom();
super(Foo, self).save()
That should do the trick. Though depending on your use, you'll want to
first check if self.id exists so it won't give a new one on each
save(). I do the same thing for one of my models to use a UUID.
