When saving a model, I need to be able to access its ID field like this: class MyModel: ... def save(self, force_insert = False, force_update = False): v = self.id # Do something with v
super(MyModel, self).save(force_insert, force_update) However, if the model is being created for the first time, self.id is None, so I need a way to find out what the ID is going to be. So far I've come up with this: class MyModel: ... def save(self, force_insert = False, force_update = False): v = self.id if not v: if MyModel.objects.count() > 0: # Do other MyModel objects already exist? v = MyModel.objects.latest(field_name = 'id').id + 1 else: v = 1 # Do something with v super(MyModel, self).save(force_insert, force_update) Am I calculating the correct ID here? --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.
