Rahul, this is a str.split() error and it happens when there are less pieces than str.split() expects.
An example: >>> fullname = 'John Smith' >>> (first_name, last_name) = fullname.split(" ") >>> print 'first:', first_name, '- last:', last_name John - Smith >>> fullname = 'John' >>> (first_name, last_name) = fullname.split(" ") Traceback (most recent call last): File "<pyshell#6>", line 1, in <module> (first_name, last_name) = fullname.split(" ") ValueError: need more than 1 value to unpack >>> There weren't 2 parts in fullname. That's why the error occured. Back to your problem, the same is happening with your updated_on field. I'd make default=request.now on it. BTW, try organize the traceback. It helps people helping you. -- Vinicius Assef.
