Hello all, I have a model where I've overridden the save method. In a specific case (validation fails against an external web service), I would like to prevent the save from happening. I have implemented this by not calling super.save in this case.
(see http://www.djangoproject.com/documentation/model-api/#overriding-default-model-methods) The problem I'm running into is that when a create/save is initiated from the admin interface, I have no way of alerting the user that the save was not successful. Since the form validates, the admin screen returns with the "____ was added successfully" message. Here are the three paths I've gone down: 1) I can call get_and_delete_messages() on the user, then add my own new message, however a) this seems a bit hacky, and b) I don't have access to the request inside model.save. 2) I can override save_add in admin, but I would like to avoid having to duplicate the extra logic I'm doing in save(). 3) I can implement this step as a pre_save signal, but I found no way to stop the save once things are in motion. (raise an exception?) Am I missing something obvious? Any thoughts? Thanks!
