I had at one time included the following and ended up putting it back
so that syncdb would actually create the columns. Without it the
table is created with the column being made. I am assuming this is
correct but am not sure.
def db_type(self):
return TextField().db_type()
Thanks for pointing out passing attrs because I did that originally.
This is more because i am auto generating forms for all loaded models
using a generic add object application I wrote. I chose this route
because I didn't want to have to manually create forms for each.
Thanks again for your input.
