Confused about model save/update

Hi

Sorry about the last email - fat fingered it.

For some reason I can't get the model.save() method to actually save
the data I want it to. I have tried using both save() and
save(force_update=True) without any joy.

I have the following model:

class Applicant(model.Models):
...
successful = NullBooleanField()
...

def mark_successful(self):
self.successful = 0
self.last_change_by = request.user
#self.save(force_update=True)
self.save()

def mark_successful(self):
self.successful = 1
self.last_change_by = request.user
self.save(force_update=True)
self.save()


I call these functions from the admin interface, via admin.py:

class ApplicantAdmin(admin.ModelAdmin):
...
actions = ['mark_successful', 'mark_unsuccessful']
...

def mark_unsuccessful(self, request, queryset):
'''Marks a group of applicants as unsuccessful'''
rows_updated = 0
for applicant in queryset:
applicant.mark_unsuccessful(request)
rows_updated += 1

if rows_updated == 1:
message_bit = "1 applicant was"
else:
message_bit = "%s applicants were" % rows_updated
self.message_user(request, "%s marked unsuccessful." % message_bit)



Can anyone see what's going wrong?

cheers
L.
