Use the 'verify_exists' argument, set to False, as explained in the docs: http://www.djangoproject.com/documentation/model_api/#urlfield -- "May the forces of evil become confused on the way to your house." -- George Carlin --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.
