Django 1.2: How to connect pre_save signal to class method

Question

I am trying to define a \"before_save\" method in certain classes in my django 1.2 project. I\'m having trouble connecting the signal to the class method in models.py.

Answer 1

Rather than use a method on MyClass, you should just use a function. Something like:

def before_save(sender, instance, *args, **kwargs):
    instance.test_field = "It worked"

pre_save.connect(before_save, sender=MyClass)
