I recently had a need to modify the files associated with a ManyToManyField while saving the model in one of my django-based projects. I did some googling to see how to go about doing that, and realized that the ManyToMany data is saved after the save method is called. So, I thought I would outline what I did to work around that. I’m sure the code could be cleaned up a bit. So, suggestions are welcome.
I just pushed out my updated site to run on Django 1.0. The Django Foundation rolled out 1.0 on Wednesday of this week — just in time for DjangoCon 2008 this weekend. I’ve worked on the site a little the past few evenings to get it ready. For the most part, it was an easy move. A few more notes after the jump.
Well, this redesign has been brewing since the first of the year. I’ve been wanting to incorporate the “life stream” or “jellyroll” that I’ve been seeing so much of recently. Also, I wanted to remove the freelancer feel and turn it back to a more personal site.
Wow. This year started off with a bang. Around the first of January I was contacted by Josiah Roe to find out if I would be interested in a job with Coptix Inc. in Chattanooga, Tennessee. I have accepted a position as a web developer with Coptix and will start to work with them on February 18.
I’ve had discussions recently about RSS feeds with a couple different people, and the thing I’ve realized is how useful they are, but, at the same time, how neglected they seem to be, at least by the masses. I think this will change with Outlook starting to include an RSS reader in Outlook 2007. So, I wanted to take the time to introduce RSS feeds to those readers who have never used them before.
After many, many, many hours. I have finally arrived at a point where I think this thing is ready to go. The CMS has been completely overhauled to use Django instead of MovableType. I am strongly considering using Django for all future web development for Shelbybark Design.
