writing Null instead of the default value to the database in default object manipulator

[anonymous]

I have a field definition:

main_photo = meta.IntegerField('main_photo', default=0, blank=True)

and when I'm using generic views, with a template without that field, django tries to write NULL to the database, whereas in my opinion it should put 0 .

You can't leave out any fields from a generic view in trunk.
It will treat this as if the field is blank, and it will fill it with NULL.

This is fixed in new-admin : you can provide a 'follow' argument
to suppress fields,

eg (r'^{/whatever/$', 'create', {}

'app_label' : my_blog,
'module_name': entries,
'follow' : {'main_photo': False },

} )

See NewAdminChanges.
