I have a model A, which has a ForeignKey to model B. A ------> B
When B is deleted I want to save the As that are pointing at B by repointing them at a different B if possible. To do this I have a pre_delete signal registered for B models. Unfortunately does doesn't work. Django follows the relationship from B to A, and deletes the As before signaling the pre_delete event for B. So, and event that could save the As happens too late. Now, I could use a pre_delete for A, but then I won't know that the A is about to be deleted as a direct result of B being deleted, so I can't possibly tell that B is about to go away, so I should move the pointer to B to another B. This could simply be an admin directly deleting an A. So, signals fail me here, do they not? The only way to do this is to override the delete method in B and take action there instead. I'd prefer to avoid that by using signals. Mike -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.
