Basically, I want to be able to do something if the value of a field
changes in a model.
c = Category.objects.get(pk=1)
c.name = "New Name"
c.save()
At any point (when the model is saved, when the value is set, etc.) is
it possible to compare the old and new value? The first thought that
popped into my head was something like this. I know this exact code
isn't possible, it's just an example of what I'm trying to do.
class Category(models.Models):
def save(self):
if self.name.old_value != self.name.value:
do something fun here
super(Category, self).save()
If something like this isn't built in to Django, I was thinking of
writing a custom field and overwriting __set__() to store the old
value somewhere, since that seems to be the only place that would have
access to the new and old value.
Any thoughts on whether that's the best method?
