After more continued poking, I seem to have got things in the correct
place.
Using the example given at docs.djangoproject.com as a starting point,
I have the following in my admin.py:
#admin.py
from snufkin.media_mngr.models import Media
from snufkin.media_mngr.forms import MyMediaAdminForm
from django.contrib import admin
class MediaAdmin(admin.ModelAdmin):
form = MyMediaAdminForm
fieldsets = [
(None, {
'fields': [('media_loc', 'is_active'), 'media_name',
'media_size',
'media_hash']
}),
(None, {
'fields': ['b_type']
}),
]
admin.site.register(Media, MediaAdmin)
I then created a file called forms.py that contains the following:
#forms.py
from django import forms
from snufkin.media_mngr.models import Media
class MyMediaAdminForm(forms.ModelForm):
class Meta:
model = Media
def clean_media_loc(self):
return self.cleaned_data["media_loc"]
This all seems to work correctly or at least the admin interface still
works when I run the test server. However, obviously I'm not
validating anything at this point. I am going to continue along this
path, but if anyone would care to post some additional guidance it
would be greatly appreciated.
