Re: Safari bug with ios14 and scribble

Sadly this isn't working for me - would you expect this to do the trick, a listener on body?

window.addEventListener("touchmove", (event) => {
event.preventDefault();
});

Oh man! I have been trying to display an error in a specific field in my form, since several days ago! Thanks a lot!
This line of code: self.errors['sponsor_name'] = ["That user doesn't exists"]
Made my day!
Regards from Venezuela :)

I am by no means a Django expert so you should take my opinions with a grain of salt :)

You can add validation logic in the clean method, but I think that's generally a bad idea. In my opinion, it's better to have explicit validators. When you read the username input, you can see the validation required for that field, rather than hunting through the logic in the clean method.

It's one of the things I don't like about Django validators, that a multi-input validation is impossible without monkeying with 'clean' (although this may be different in newer versions since I wrote this). Messing with clean seems more like a hack. Its generally concerning when you have to use two different mechansims to provide validation.

Mike, excellent article. One question, though. Was there any particular reason why you didn't validate the username inside your clean method rather than creating a separate, custom validator? Couldn't both the username and password validations be done in 'clean()'? Thanks.

This is very helpful. I found a similar approach using a custom template tag, which might be simpler for some people:

Great article. After researching to find the best and most "usable" QR code generator, (to hopefully avoid the same sort of problems you mention above with users trying to scan it from my business card), I've decided to use snapmyinfo.com. Thanks!

You hit the nail on the head that the biggest hurdle as to get people to explain how to decode and use QR codes. We are integrating QR codes into a series of young adult eco mysteries to seamlessly flow the story on the printed page to video clips that let the reader see and hear what the characters in the story are seeing and hearing!

Great article. We tell our clients much of the above on a daily basis - refreshing to see people are starting to understand QR codes.

Also important with QR codes is the data inside the code. It's vital that the information is **useful** to the person scanning the code - so for example, on a business card - links to information about the person - a downloadable contact - some social media etc etc.

Hey Jon. It looks like you may need yo use the "HTML mode" of your blog's editor to paste the badge. Some blog editors try to be "smart" and prevent you from being able to paste regular HTML code. Let me know if this helps, if not I can dig deeper into your particular blog platform.
