For example, altering 'pana.our.org''s netgroups field, the following save() method results in this debug line which makes no sense to me:
CHANGED: Device pana.our.org had old netgroups [{'name': u'testnetgroup', 'desc': u''}] and now has new netgroups [{'name': u'testnetgroup', 'desc': u''}] Both the new and old netgroups in that line are identical and reflect the NEW value. Working code would state: CHANGED: Device pana.our.org had old netgroups [{'name': u'testnetgroup', 'desc': u''}] and now has new netgroups [] class Device(models.Model): # ... netgroups = models.ManyToManyField(Netgroup, null=True, verbose_name="Netgroups", blank=True) # ... def save(self, *args, **kwargs): try: # # Get the THEORETICALLY old data from database for this device # oldnetgroups = Device.objects.get(pk=self.pk).netgroups.values_list() except: # This is likely a brand new device object, so can't look it up oldnetgroups = None # # Compare the THEORETICAL old netgroups value with the theoretical new value # if (oldnetgroups != None) and (oldnetgroups != self.netgroups.values_list()): prefix = 'CHANGED' else: prefix = 'UNCHANGED' if oldnetgroups != None: fd = open('/tmp/test.log', 'a') fd.write('%s: Device %s had old netgroups %s and now has new netgroups %s\n' % (prefix, self.name, oldnetgroups, self.netgroups.values())) fd.close() super(Device, self).save(*args, **kwargs) -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.
