hi kevin,
you could convert to int in the model's save() method
class MyModel(models.Model):
def save(self):
self.hexval = int(str(self.hexval), 16)
super(MyModel, self).save()
or whatever hex->decimal method you need for how you have the hex val
stored.
but then how to get it back into a hex representation when someone goes
to edit the field? the only thing that comes to my mind is javascript
but i'm sure there's a less hackish solution :)
best
jake
