Re: Custom Validation on Inline Generic Foreign Key

[John]

I went ahead and hardcoded checks for fields that as of today I know
will only be in one of the models. I would still love to hear any
cleaner solutions if anyone has them.

Re: Custom Validation on Inline Generic Foreign Key

Any ideas?

In the inline model's validation I could hardcode checks for data that
I expect will only be in one of the models, but that does not seem
like the best option. I am still hoping for a simpler alternative to
this.

Thanks.

Custom Validation on Inline Generic Foreign Key

[John]

Hi there,

I am writing an app with Django where I have a model with a generic
foreign key. I
am looking to do some validation on this model based on the
content_type of the
generic foreign key. When I am modifying this model on its admin page,
I am
able to easily determine the content_type because it is in the form
data. Then I
can do a 'switch' on the content type to perform the correct
validations.

When I use the Model with the generic foreign key inline in another
model, I
can't seem to find the content_type or content_id in the form data. I
would expect
there is a way to get that models content_type from within the inline
model's form.

So am I missing something here, or is there a better way to approach
this problem?

Thanks is advance.
