Hi ! I have a similar situation. (disclaimer:-- I have tried turbogears & web2py before. But could not find the following functionality there. So I have signed-in here to see whether I can get it in django). My form is composed of fields from various tables. When a user interacts with form, he/she

If your mail reader reformats text, IMHO it's broken. At a minimum, it ought to give you the option of seeing a message without "helpfully" reformatting it. I see little harm in asking (politely) that people go through the significant hassle of posting code in two places (one of which may be inac

To be honest, I often think about how an e-mail list is actually one of the worst media to help with coding. Here's some food for thought: wouldn't it be better if we had a django-help project that combined django snippets, a stack overflow-like ratings system (an incentive to both good questions

Just because dpaste breaks integrity of django-users doesn't mean that e-mail is the "right" forum. E-mail doesn't preserve code formatting or syntax highlighting which is legitimately annoying. Also lots of coders still use text based e-mail (I don't but others do) so html syntaxing won't always
