A way I've handled this in the past is with the permissions system. I have a model called CurrentSpecial, which I use to populate a div on the main page with whatever the current sale/special/whatever is. For any user (other than myself) that is allowed to login to the Admin and make changes, I make sure that the only permission they have for that model is "can change currentspecial" (so they *don't* get the "add" or "delete" permissions). This essentially enforces a limit of one instance of this model in the db. They can go in and change whatever the current details are for that special, but they can't delete it, and they can't add new ones. Not the greatest solution in the world, but it works. Anyone have any better methods? Jay P. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.
