Belated thanks, Karen-- I was indeed logged in (as "root") in a nearby
admin screen.
I'm having a devil of a time conceptualizing this model, & I know what
I have below isn't correct. I'm trying to set up a simple form; each
user would get to select how convenient several different
meetingtimes would be for them:
Mon 1:30-3:30, Tu 10-12, Th 1:30-3:30, F 1:30-3:30
...would be the times, & the convenience choices would be as below ("I
can make this time regularly", etc).
Seems like it should be really simple, but I can't get my head around
it. I put in the unique_together bit thinking that would prohibit a
user from selecting two different convenience levels for the same
time, but that's probably not the way to go about that either.
I got our product database online remarkably quickly w/Django, but
this simple little poll is really proving to be my Waterloo, & I
really feel like I need to get my head around it before I can go any
further w/the framework. Thus, any suggestion/help much much
appreciated!
