Why would you want to write a Hello World program in a framework? Try writing a very large app in a framework and then try using bare PHP. Compare how much longer and how many more bugs do you get using bare PHP. Compare how many SLOC it took in each. Which is easier to maintain? Caching can be used to recover speed.

Re: Next previous links from a query set / generi views
Yup, if you have non-null date/datetime fields on your model, each
model will automatically get "get_next_by_FOO" and
"get_previous_by_FOO" methods, where FOO is the name of the datetime
field:

Reversed URLs problem
Hi folks, I'm having trouble with reversed urls when they are being called as template tags. I posted my question on Stack Overflow last week with no adequate responses. I'll copy it here (with slight modifications) for convenience. http://stackoverflow.com/questions/2189119/project-name-inserted-automatically-in-url-when-using-django-template-url-tag I have my urls named like so in my root urls.py file... ... url(r'^login/$', 'login', name='site_login'), ... This allows me to access /login at my site's root. I have my template tag defined like so... ... ... It works fine, except that Django automatically resolves that url as / myprojectname/login, not /login. Both urls are accessible. Only one is defined. Why is the projectname being inserted to the url automagically? This occurs for all url tags, not just this one.

I just release an small app that could be useful for some developers.
The idea is from http://dummyimage.com/

Re: satchmo customization experiences? customizing existing e-com vs. roll-your-own
You may get some more answers on the Satchmo list but I assume all those folks are on this list too. I'll attempt to provide some answers here because it's probably of interest to the broader community. Whenever I hear people talking about writing something from scratch, I think about these two articles - http://www.codinghorror.com/blog/archives/001284.html http://blog.bitquabit.com/2009/07/01/one-which-i-call-out-hacker-news/ First off, I realize Satchmo is nowhere near the same as stack overflow but the principal is the same. Satchmo has been under active development for almost 3 years and it's by no means complete and nowhere near perfect. That being said, it does do a lot & has a lot of thought put into how to balance ease of use and functionality with the ability to customize. There could be a lot of debate about how well we've managed to do it & reasonable people could disagree about our approach; but there is a fairly significant amount of work to start from scratch. In fact, if Satchmo seems too much overkill for your needs, then you might want to look at some of the alternatives (which I have no personal experience with) like: http://djwarehouse.org/wiki http://www.getlfs.com/ Or if you feel you need to write one from scratch, this is probably as good a place as any to start: http://django-ecommerce.blogspot.com/ Now, to answer your earlier question about how to customize Satchmo, a lot depends on what you actually need to do. Writing a custom shipping module or modifying the templates is trivial. If you need to yank out the entire product model and use something new then it might be more of a challenge. If you can discuss a bit more about the changes you would need to make, we can probably provide some more guidance on the relative difficulty of getting them done. -Chris On Sat, Feb 6, 2010 at 12:57 PM, snfctech wrote: > I'm building an order entry and tracking system for a Food Co-op for > their case and special orders.

satchmo customization experiences? customizing existing e-com vs. roll-your-own
I'm building an order entry and tracking system for a Food Co-op for their case and special orders. We don't need the system to be on-line (at the moment), but many of the system requirements are already present in many existing e-commerce solutions (product catalog/search, order entry screens, order tracking/history, etc.) Initially, I was thinking of building the system from scratch using web2py or Django. (The RoR Spree project looks pretty interesting, too - but I'm already writing a product/customer ETL in Jython and don't want to balance the two languages - both Python and Ruby are new to me.) Web2py doesn't have any existing e-commerce project, so that lead me to look at Django/Satchmo. I'm guessing the Satchmo customization necessary is probably on the order of 20-30%. The question is whether that 20-30% customization is going to be more of a headache than rolling my own clean order-entry and tracking system with nothing extra I don't need. Has anyone had a similar experience they can share? I would be especially interested in anyone's experiences with customizing/extending Satchmo.

It pulls the User correctly, and there is an object there...but it won't let me store it on the front-end form, cause user_id is not set or something of that sort.

Re: Problem setting up mysqldb 1.2.3c1 on Mac 10.5.8 Leopard

If you read the thread no one agrees with me, but its working great for me so far. Since I'm a noob as well, it could prove a mistake down the road. However I did fix the build problem before i abandoned it.

Getting endless redirects when accessing root url
Hi everyone,
I'm new to Django and tried to set up a little project using
flatpages. Here's my url conf:
from django.conf.urls.defaults import *
from django.contrib import admin
admin.autodiscover()
from django.contrib.flatpages.views import flatpage
urlpatterns = patterns('',
(r'^/$', flatpage, { 'url' : 'home/' } ),
(r'^admin/', include(admin.site.urls)),
(r'', include('django.contrib.flatpages.urls')),
)
But I can't access the root url (127.0.0.1:8000). The browser aborts
because of to many redirects. When looking at the console output of "./
manage.py runserver" there are about 20 of this messages:
[06/Feb/2010 16:47:38] "GET / HTTP/1.1" 302 0
What am I doing wrong?
Thanks in advance! :)

A typical production deployment environment will have multiple threads and/or processes handling requests simultaneously. Thus current state of the DB when a request is received is not necessarily going to be the same as current state of the DB by the time the request processing thread gets around to actually making the update -- one request processing thread could have already passed the point of accepting an update but not quite gotten around to making the change in the DB when a 2nd request processing thread decides it's also OK to accept an update. Last one to actually issue the update wins, the other thread's update is lost. Using an atomic SQL UPDATE with a WHERE clause specifying the version requirement, which is what QuerySet update() allows, pushes the responsibility for dealing with this race condition onto the DB.

how to do object lookup using hour ,minute
hi I am a beginner with python and django and am writing my first application.I need to retrieve some objects of my model class created at different minutes in an hour.The class stores a datetime value in a 'creationtime' ( DateTimeField )and have an associated 'subject' string which can get repeated in many objects(ie object has one to many relation with subject).Only the 'creationtime' is unique for an object. How can I get a unique object using MyModel.objects. get()? When I checked the lookup docs ,it says it cannot do lookup on hour or minute ,but only on year,month,day.. Also I want to display the details of a single object.Do I need to create a unique slug? Is it possible to create a slug from DateTimeField 's value? (The prepopulated_fields in ModelAdmin doesn't accept DateTimeField and ForeignKey ..so I am not sure if I can use it in slug field). Also, how should I create the get_absolute_url for the class?

At least, not as I understand them. I'm looking at the next architectural level up. For example, creating an md5 or sha1 hash directory under a file root, where file uploads can be organized in /mm/dd folders. And providing the linkage from the user account in the SQL db, to their binary file directory. I was hoping someone else had packaged this kind of support for binary-objects-stored-in-files in a nice and purty application. :-) I'll chew on this more.

Provide an Etag with the read, then when the update comes in check if the ETag matches what is calculated for the current state of the DB. If it does, let the update through. If not, then force the user to retry based on the new state. Cheers, Malcolm -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.

Site wide configuration in admin
Hi all I'd like to provide site wide configuration settings in the admin panel. I'd like users to be able to edit things like the front page text and specify a featured event (represented by a model). How can this be achieved?

I was doing a list comprehension along the lines of list = [ x for x in Computer.objects.all() ] which seemed to work, but your __cmp__ method looks much nicer. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.

ModelAdmin.get_readonly_fields with ForeignKey's
Hi Guys, I was trying to use the newly introduced ModelAdmin.get_readonly_fields method to mark a OneToOne relation as read only - something along the lines of: models.py: class Book(models.Model): title = models.CharField(max_length = 50) ... def __unicode__(self): return '%s' % self.title class BookInventory(models.Model): ... book = models.OneToOneField(Book) def __unicode__(self): return '%s' % self.book admin.py: class BookInventoryAdmin(admin.ModelAdmin): def get_readonly_fields(self, request, obj = None): if obj is not None: return ['book'] else: return [] While this works just fine, the one problem I'm having is that instead of showing the title of the book (i.e. - calling Book.__unicode__), the admin simply shows the primary key value of the Book. This issue was bug #342 in Django Trac - [1] - and was fixed in changeset 11965 - [2]. Does anyone have any ideas about how to get the title of the book to show up in the admin page for BookInventory, instead of it's primary key value?

A custom tag or filter should do it. Alternatively computed value of verbose_name can be passed to the view via extra_context.
