Re: Seeking reviewers for a "Guide to Idiomatic Django Deployment"

[pnichols104]

This sounds great!  I'm still learning myself (coming up on 2 years 
experience) so I'm a little hesitant to volunteer to offer opinions on 
content, but I'm an excellent proofreader and would love to help out.  I 
talk English much good and spel grate.

Best,
Paul

Re: Issues saving a formset form with multiple forms.

[pnichols104]

Hey Jason--

You defined the save method as needing the user parameter, but you don't 
pass that in.  Try that (assuming user should equal request.user).  Good 
luck!

Django tables 2 with django-autocomplete-light

[pnichols104]

I'm trying to populate a django table with autocomplete light so that the 
user can fill in data in the table, which would then be saved (the whole 
table is in a form tag).  I have the table working to display the existing 
data and I have the autocomplete working in model forms (well, a team 
member got that part working), but I don't know how to combine the two. 
 The docs are a bit of a mystery to me, but maybe if someone could at least 
point me in the right direction I'd greatly appreciate it.
