admin ordering for NULL fields

2011-05-27 Thread Dennis Schmidt
In the admin panel I set a (descending) ordering on a model's date field. That's fine of course.

object = eval(request.POST['type']).objects.get(pk=int(request.POST ['id'])) should work. But you have to be very careful with what's inside of your 'type' param, since it will get executed as Python code. So always make sure nobody can inject malicious code there. On 18 Jun., 18:40, Bastien wr

Hi there, this might be a trivial question but my search within the django documentation and google didn't give me any helpful results. In Ruby on Rails you can simply do this x = Model.new({:param_x => 'x', :param_y => 'y'}) where the params are some model fields. The hash you can provide ther
