Now that you're luxuriating in the "done for you" aspect of Django, check out the ModelForm object. It gives you the goodness you seek. I don't think that setting up your URL system the way you describe is a good idea. It's a complete security failure, so you'd have to handle permissions anyway

Hi Ondřej. For your question #1, you could create a field in the model itself and then use signals[1] to populate it upon the saving of a "vote" instance. #2: The validation should all be done during form validation[2], prior to save. Using a Form or ModelForm. That way, the user can get frien
