signals documentation question

The 1.5 docs say ... Where should this code live? You can put signal handling and registration code anywhere you like. However, you'll need to make sure that the module it's in gets imported early on so that the signal handling gets registered before any signals need to be sent. This makes you

You're close. Your reverse calls should be: return redirect(reverse('student-reports', kwargs={'year': year})) _Nik On 10/29/2012 4:11 PM, Lachlan Musicman wrote: > Hi, > > I'm struggling to get the syntax right for a url reverse function. > > I have a form that asks for a Model type (ChoiceFie
