I'm new to Python and Django, and I'd like some advice on how to layout the code I'd like to write.
I have the model written that allows a file to be uploaded. In the models save method I'm checking if the file has a specific extension. If it has an XML extension I'm opening the file and grabbing some information from the file to save in the database. I have this model working. I've tested it in the built-in administration. It works. Currently when there's an error (it's not an XML file; the file can't be opened; a specific attribute doesn't exist) I'm throwing an custom "Exception" error. What I *would* like to do is some how pass these "Exception" error messages to the view (whether that's a custom view or the built-in administration view) and have an error message displayed like if the forms library was being used. Is that possible? I'm starting to think I'm going to have to write the validation checks again using the forms library. If that's the case, is it possible to still use the built-in administration template, but extend the form it uses to add these custom validations? Anything to help my confusion would be appreciated. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.
