To use it, append all your model save methods with a IntegrityError catcher.

This is really awesome way but it raises error in separate page of Exception handling. isn't there any way so that even this custom error could be displayed over page the form where input data would be taken.
In other words how can I display this error on same page of form

This is rad! It took me a while to figure out how to create integrity checks on the many-to-many add method, and this was a huge relief to find. Thank you!
