Hi - I am trying to upload data from a CSV file. But I have to do some processing before saving the data (such as slugifying a field). I am trying to use the example provided by fellow users on this thread (http://groups.google.com/group/django-users/browse_thread/thread/ b12bfeb6af4978bb/88d3b1f40e3b4a8b?lnk=gst&q=modeladmin+as+a+batch +function#88d3b1f40e3b4a8b).
I am having trouble understanding the flow. What does "cleaned_data" do? Is it loading the entire file or just the first row? If latter, where is it iterating? I would appreciate if someone can shed some light on this routine, or share how you implemented batch import of data using django models. What I have is a CSV formatted data consisting of "school name, address1, address2, city, state, url, school type" and I need to create entries into the School Model, which requires an additional "calculated" field of a slug (based on school name) and a school type which is a Foreign Key to SchoolType. The latter two are what I am trying to process before saving the model. Help much appreciated. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.
