hi In my models save() method I want to check if an Article with same name already exists.
class Article(Model): name=models.CharField(max_length = 1024, unique = True) def save(self): self.name=self.name.strip() if Article.objects.filter(name__iexact=self.name).count()!=0: raise Exception('article with name %s already exists'%self.name) When I create an article thru a ModelForm and give an existing article's name ,it raises an exception and causes 500 server error.I want to catch this exception and display an error message instead of letting the program crash.Can someone tell me how and where I can do this?Should I do this in the view? thanks harry -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.
