Re: model form validation

let's make an example: in the datetime fields of the forms there will only be a time, which is ok for the user. the date will be added later by some background logic, for convenience.

practically:
- the user enters "0300" in the datetime field.
- I make "0300" into date=0, time=03:00, valid field.

if you have any other idea how to do this - don't hesitate :) . and maybe (hopefully) this will also solve the mysteriously vanished datetime values.


Thanks!
Axel.

What exactly are you trying to accomplish? I'm not sure overriding is_valid is a good idea; it's not a part of the validation -- it's how a model knows that the validation was successful.

In your sample view, you're calling is_valid on the formset, not the forms in the formset. That would explain why your 'is_valid' is never called.

You can iterate through the formset to get at the actual form instances inside.
