Hi Aaron,
This is a brilliant example and I thank you for it. I built your example and this works fine. Thank you for your time and effort.

When I try to do the same with my own code the def add_somename() works fine. The def edit_somename() is where I am having trouble. I cannot see where I have gone wrong.

What is happening is the _id is being dropped. For instance the following is what Django is reporting back…
[03/Oct/2012 22:17:41] “GET /depot/ HTTP/1.1″ 200 5831
[03/Oct/2012 22:17:48] “GET /depot_edit/2/ HTTP/1.1″ 200 779
[03/Oct/2012 22:17:54] “POST /depot_edit// HTTP/1.1″ 404 3903

In the final line /2/ is replaced by // or so I believe to be the case. I believe the problem is in views.edit_somename. This does not happen in your example.

I am only learning Django, learning the hard way most of the time

If you need my code I will gladly forward it to you, I prefer to ask. People can be very busy, I know.

Thanks again for the effort and time that you have put in,
Tommy.

Finally a simple example that works, i’ve trying to post data in for ages now. You are a few steps ahead of me, i’ve come from PHP and that logic doesn’t apply, but warming to Django.

Thanks for the exmaple.

THANK YOU! I agree with Ross – this example helped me get my site up and going (or the basics of it anyway)

I like your article. I downloaded your code and ran the site. It only lets you put in phone numbers in the admin app. Is that what you wanted? or is there a missing view?
