Blah... I could have sworn that worked when I tried it yesterday.
but when I went to start working on it today..that method is returning
the changed values as well... very strange... I might have to resort
to calling the values from the DB again before doing a save :(
On Aug 29, 4:34 pm,
Maybe it's a bug in my branch..I'm using the multiple db branch... but
the other method Mike pointed out appears to work. Tomorrow I'm going
to tie it all together and have my save method only fire save if there
are dirty fields, and log what data has been changed into my event
table...
Thanks
Hmm. It works in shell for me, I'm not sure what the difference might
be. It only keeps _original_data for the life of the instance, so if
the view completes, the next view is a different instance. You could
make a pickle field to persist it, if you wanted to keep track of the
changed values.
Ahh..this appears to work! Thanks!

You can simply override the __init__ method and take a copy of the
values then:

I tried using the signals... but setting a new value on the record,
seems to also set it on the _original_data ...which is odd...maybe I'm
not seeing something stupid that I'm doing? If I change my
marketing_status_name data in my view and save, the new data is in
both the _original_data, and in
You could probably use the post_init signal to make a copy of the
model values for comparison in your save method. I'm doing something
similar to create a special manager object each time a certain model
instance is created.
Something like this...

Thanks..but I'm already overriding save, and creating an event
record... I need to know how to do something extra when the data is
loaded initially. I know I could query the record again into a new
object and use that for the original values..but that seems pretty
hackish ...so I'd prefer to
