Thanks for putting this together. You've made it super simple for me to understand how to customize the Save method... something I wasn't too clear on. Thanks!!!

[drew]

Man thank you. I'm relatively new to Django and don't really know the extent of what it has to offer. This was exactly what I was looking for without realizing it beforehand.

I bought Anthony's course and I must say.... it's amazing! Just like Youtube... always nice and clear content! I'll share your channel with everyone I know :-)

[sebastiancastillo]

As always Anthony giving us very good tips. Thank you!!

[prateeksarangi]

Anthony can we use a pre_save signal rather than over riding the save() in the model class .

Happy with this approach too !! Got to know something new

[jeanpeuplu]

Thank you so much, I'm an apprentice and this is very useful at my job!

[nosratullahmohammadi]

Thanks for the tutorial. Can we get a value from another model to the target model?

[bridroid]

Nice. You should do one on custom save vs signals.

[deekshantwadhwa]

Great video. Create one on custom delete method too.

[ranaarifsb]

Hi!
I am using modelformset_factory and trying to save data on different data base like
form.save(using=“abc”)
This work fine with form but when using with modelformset shows an error that un aspected argument “using”
How to solve please

[richardalcantara]

can you show me how to save automatically set the save method for this:
Classroom model -
Chapter model -
classroom(foreignkey)
Lesson model -
chapter(foreignkey)
4 different file models (video, audio, image, pdf ...) which all have foreign key from Lesson.
Now I want to automatically set the default Lesson of the file model where I am currently in... rather than manually manuevering it in fill-up forms and/or admin site. Pls help

You make awesome tutorial please do the multi option kind of question forms that keeps spitting form for answers until there is no question or answer left. The kind found on django-quiz and django-multiple-users thanks!
