I'd like to create a method to do this for me. But where? Why not take the example of User (from django.contrib.auth), and put it in a custom manager? If you want to create a User, you write: newuser = User.object.create_user(username='foo',...) which creates a new user with the provided arguments, saves it, and returns the instance. Look in django.contrib.auth.models for UserManager for implementation details.

Where to put function to instantiate and save a model object?
I have a model called "Log" which logs access to certain pages or sets variables that we're tracking. The way I'm inserting new records into the log table is like this: Log(user=request.user, session=request.session.session_key, varname='somename').save() But I'm finding that I'm writing the above line in a number of places. I'd like to create a method to do this for me. But where? I thought about putting it in the model but can it be a method of Log itself? Can I call something like Log.set_log(request, varname)? Would this need to call __init__ or something? If not, would it make sense in the view file of the code that's using it? It's really not a "view" itself. Thanks for any advice. -Rob --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.
