django filters

[rahul jain]

Hi,

In my model, I have set up one filter which helps in filtering out the
results on admin Panel. The way its works now
that its displays the old objects first and then the most recent ones. Is it
possible to make it other way around ?.

Let me know.

This is going to be a hosted solution and if I add LDAP maintenance to the
new things they have to do, I think they'll go back to shuffling Excel files
back and forth via email.

One Apache log-in and then one Django log-in? Blech.

Let's see what anyone else has to say...

Problems with url encoding

[Caumons]

Hi everybody.

I am having problems with the urlencoding. I explain. In a template I
have the following code:

Return to list

In the view I pass the variables slug_platform and num_pag to the
template, but the problem is that when I click the link it brings me
to the following page (copy/paste from the developing server):

/plataforms/wii%26pag%3D1/HTTP/1.1" 404 1738

As you can see there are these % symbols and I do not know if Django
does an automatic urlencoding, but then the URL does not match with
any pattern because of these symbols! But if I test the code with an
html validator it gives me errors because it says that this line is
not urlencoded.

I have also tried doing this:
Return to list
but this raises a syntax error in the template

I do not know what to do and I also do not know if when we do
something like request.get["something"] you have to unquote it or it
is not needed.

Thank you so much.

If it has to be secure rather than just wishful thinking the webserver 
must demand credentials. If you are using Apache, that means .htaccess 
files which point to a list of credentials for each group.


Maybe you could obtain a django authentication backend which Apache can 
use as well? On an Intranet you should be able to access LDAP 
connectivity somewhere - Microsoft AD, Novell eDirectory or Linux LDAP.


I'm very interested in your progress here because I have to travel this 
road in the medium term future.


I have done a test implementation of Peter Herndon's django-ldap-groups 
with eDir and one of the next steps for me is to look at the Apache LDAP 
docs.

Re: If is first time logging in

[Nick]

 I am, but I'm not opposed to custmizing one. This part of the project
will undoubtedly get bundled as a reusable registratioon and login app
for other projects so it doing what I'd like it to do is more
important than convenience.

Output data across models in XML

[Andrew]

I'm trying to make a webservice that outputs XML representation of
data from a model. The model itself looks roughly like this:

-
class Product(models.Model):
short_description=models.CharField(max_length=300)
long_description=models.CharField(max_length=2000)
price=models.DecimalField(decimal_places=2, max_digits=6)
store=models.ForeignKey(Merchant)
def __unicode__(self):
return self.short_description

class Merchant(models.Models):
name=models.CharField(max_length=20)
zip=models.CharField(max_length=6)
category=models.CharField(max_length=10)

   def __unicode__(self):
return self.name
--

What I've done so far is this:

--
zip='12345'
category='food'
products_list=Product.objects.filter(store__zip=zip,
store__category=category)
xml=serializers.serialize("xml",products_list,field=('short_description','price','store'))



It works, and I get XML back, but the 'store' data is just the id for
the Merchant table. What I want instead is the name of the store. I've
tried replacing 'store' with 'store.name' and 'store__name' to no
avail -- how can I get the XML serializer to return a data member of
the 'store' object instead of just a pointer to that object?

If it's not possible with serializer, what's the best way to do it?

Thanks
Andrew

group password

[Junkie Dolphin]

Hello everybody,
I am coding a django app for performing an online, anonymous
experiment system. The idea is that we give a login code to a group of
participants (e.g. students at our university) and tell them a
specific time window (usually a couple of hours) during which they can
login to the website using that code we gave them (hence no
registration required). Once they login the website randomly matches
pairs of participants for a game (the actual experiment).

The key factor here is anonymity. We don't want participants to give
us any personal information, but still we need to identify each
anonymous user in order to do the random matching.

What would be the best solution? I was thinking to use the builtin
authentication system but I don't know if it would be better to extend
django.contrib.auth.User or just use a plain form.

-Giovanni

Re: If is first time logging in

[Nick]

I have an expanded user form right now. Here is the sign up process.

user registers using username, email, password

It sends and activation link to that email.

User clicks on the link and they are activated

User logs in

Here is where I would like the extended profile to pop up the first
time. When they pass through the login screen to their home page (each
user has a home page with a selection of different actions).

I can kind of see where you are going with what you have, I'm adding a
field to check to make sure the forms are finished?

I'm not too worried about users not filling out the profile, this is a
site built for submitted obituaries and the users will be funeral
homes so filling out the form is a necessary part of their job. I just
want to know how to make it really obvious to them the first time they
login.

Re: If is first time logging in

[Dejan Noveski]

Best will be if you make Useraccount model that will inherit from User, add
field formsets_passed = BooleanField(initial = False)

The reason why i think this is better idea is, user might leave the page
before finishing the aditional forms. That way, next time it will be second
login and you will be able to show them again.

Re: trying not to do any operations in template, but not sure i can avoid it.

[Bill Freeman]

You could put a method on your basket object which calculates the shipping.
Then if the basket object is included in the context, you can trivially call it.

Or perhaps better, fix up you all_purchases iterable to append it.
Something like:

   def add_shipping(purchaces_iterable):
  for i, p in enumerate(purchases_iterable):
 yield p
  yield Purchase(name="Shipping",
amount=Decimal(PER_ITEM_SHIPPING)*(i+1)...)

If is first time logging in

[Nick]

I'm trying to figure out a way to see if it is a users first time
logging in after registering on the site. If it is then I will pass
them through some formsets, otherwise I let them go to their profile
page.

I tried using date_joined == last_login but that doesn't work, as the
last login date changes the second you log in.

Anyone ever done anything like this?

Any thoughts?

trying not to do any operations in template, but not sure i can avoid it.

[shofty]

not sure if i've totally missed the point of the correct way to do
this.

because i couldn't get the django-cart project to do what i wanted
(and more because there is a note on the page explaining its got bugs
and that i should have been able to fix them but not detailing said
bugs) i decided to write my own cart. and called it basket ;)

the basket works and is super simple. its built to create html for
submission to google checkout. which works.
the code that generates the html follows.

{% for purchase in all_purchases %}






{% if forloop.last %}
end of loopsss
{% endif %}
{% endfor %}

consider this situation though. the shipping option is a fixed cost
per item, which google doesnt allow you to configure in their options
exactly as the client wants it.

so you think it'd be easy to just wait for the last item in the
basket, then sum the number of items (forloop.counter) and multiply it
by the flat rate. but i dont think im supposed to do maths in the
template am i?

so my alternative is to do the maths based on the number of items in
the basket at creation of the dict in the view.

This is the problem that is presenting the possible bug. I have to use
{{ m.SomeField }} in my template rather than {{ m.somefield }} as you
suggest should always be the case.

I am using a raw query because I couldn't for the life of me get the
related object query for Checkin.objects.filter(...) to work.
Sometimes I actually find the ORM more confusing than raw sql ;)

I don't think basing it off of last_login will work, because they may
login and then stay logged in for 2 weeks or whatever you have your
cookie settings set to.

I have a piece of middleware that maintains a dictionary of username,
datetime key/value pairs in the cache. If the requesting user is
authenticated I update their timestamp in the dictionary. I then
iterate over the dictionary and delete entries that are older than
some threshold.

I then have a template tag that retrieves the dictionary from the
cache and displays the names.

Re: File/Folder permissions for deploying Django app

[Shawn Milochik]

To some extent it doesn't matter. Just make sure your code is as secure as any 
private information you wouldn't want others to have access to.

When Django is running in a production environment, there is a Python instance 
listening on a port on your system. Your Web server (Apache, nginx, whatever) 
will direct requests to your Python instance and accept the responses. At no 
time are any of your templates or Python scripts exposed to or processed by the 
Web server the way CGI, ASP, or PHP scripts would be.

List of Users online

[EmileZola]

I want to list the logged in users on my index page and was wondering
what was the right way to do this.


Can I do it similar to this ?
def index(request):
return render_to_response('index.html', {
'online_users': User.objects.filter(last_login > delay)
})
delay being "now - 15 minutes" or something like that...


Is there a way to use is_authenticated() in that context ?
Should I use a MiddleWare instead to acheive this ?

Another important point is how to display the contents for a key in a

I don't know why you think that makes any difference here.

In any case, your question is not about forms, but about templates.
The template docs show you exactly how to do an attribute lookup.

The same information is in the 1.1 manual:

I clicked 'docs.djangoproject.com', then 'Forms - overview' halfway

Extremely simple question that I can't get a simple answer for in Docs

[pyfreak]

Frustratingly enough, docs.djangoproject.com tells you how to print
out the HMTL for a single field in your form, but it uses a shell to
demonstrate it:

 f = ContactForm()
>>> print f['subject']
   
>>> print f['message']


However, I need to know how to do this in a template

I tried placing my form in the template like {{ f['subject'] }} and I
get TemplateSyntaxError.  Of course using my own form and existing
fields


What is the syntax for this.

I tried all types of search terms to hopefully catch a thread with
someone doing this, but ended up at zero.

Template tags variables cannot be None, False, True?

[Peter Coles]

Do tags not support the literals None, False, or True? Why would
numbers and strings be supported, but not these? It is possible to
pass these as variables into the context (even in a context processor)
as {'None': None, 'True': True, 'False': False} and it's possible that
someone may be using variables named like this with completely
different values, but it seems odd to me that they're just not
supported out of the box.

If I try passing a None into a tag, I get a "VariableDoesNotExist"
error ("Failed lookup for key [None] in…")

Furthermore, it seems really simple to support by adding something
like this into the top of template.Variable.__init__ (just above the
try)

literals = {'None': None, 'False': False, 'True': True}
if var in literals:

Re: send_mail not firing

[Nick]

Welp, indentation error:

def save(self):

needed to unindent so it was called when the form was process, instead
it was waiting for an error to trigger it, which it wouldn't do
because the error halts the form from processing.  There goes 13 hours
of my life I'm never getting back.

Re: send_mail not firing

[Nick]

It looks like the problem isn't with send_mail, its the save override
on the form, the is_active = False isn't setting that option in the DB
either, so it is skipping over the save options. Here they are again:

forms.py:
class RegisterForm(UserCreationForm):
email = forms.EmailField(label="E-Email")

class Meta:
model = User
fields = ("username", "email")

def clean_email(self):
email = self.cleaned_data["email"]

try:
User.objects.get(email=email)
except User.DoesNotExist:
return email

raise forms.ValidationError("A user with that email address
already exists.")

def save(self):
user = super(RegisterForm, self).save(commit=False)
send_activation(user)
user.is_active = False
user.save()

and the view:

def register(request):
if request.method == 'POST':
form = RegisterForm(request.POST)
if form.is_valid():
new_user = form.save()

return HttpResponseRedirect("/obits/")
else:
form = RegisterForm()

return render_to_response("obits/register.html", {'form': form })

So, the username and all of that are saving by the user.is_active and
send_mail are getting skipped

Re: Is it possible to add a table on my database with a django code ?

[Pep]

:) Thanks for your answers.

Effectively, I won't do this but I was curious on manipulate a
database like this. However it could be useful in a few project with a
limited number of users.

I would probably approach this need by periodically resetting the queries
rather than attempting to figure out how to stop the logging entirely when
DEBUG is True. django.db has a function reset_queries that it uses to reset
the query history at the beginning of each request.

If you wrote a management command, you could add it to the crontab for
your VPS with it running every 30 mins or faster, that syncs any user
that isn't already in sympa.

You could have a boolean field on a profile of a user, and when a user
is successfully added to Sympa, the boolean is set to true.

That way you don't have to catch any events, just make sure your cron
job runs regularly to keep the two in sync.
Cheers,
Dan

user registration extras

[appel268576]

hi there.

I am having some issues and don't really know where to go to with
this.

I am using the django-registration from bitbucket which is very handy,
however I would like to pass extra items upon registration such as
'first name', 'last name' etc.

any ideas?

If you create a new Django project & app, include admin and auth in
INSTALLED_APPS, and run the tests, they pass. I'm aware of some issues with
built-in auth and/or admin tests failing depending on specific project
settings, see for example: http://code.djangoproject.com/ticket/11077. That
ticket references discussions on django-dev covering the broader (still
open) issue of integration testing versus application testing. It's possible
that broader issue is what you are running into here.

However, so far as I can tell I have never seen a report of these auth
remote_user tests failing before. I can find no mention of such failures in
trac nor in my mail archive of django-users. So I have no idea if this is an
integration/application test issue or something else. The first things to
figure out would be what's different about your project compared to a
newly-created one that is leading to these tests failing. You have not given
any specifics about your project so I'm not really sure what might be
causing these failures.

Re: Sync user objects with sympa mailinglist

Hi thanks for your replies,

I couldn't run the django page on a different server, because I only have
one VPS running.

But I understand there isn't a way to catch "events" on a database update.

Re: What architecture do you use for media?

[Michel Thadeu Sabchuk]

Hi Andy,

I do not use a different server for media yet but it is in project.
Maybe I could help:

> 2. Do you typically use a different hosting company for the media

There is the Amazon S3 and Rackspace Cloudfiles services. With then,
you don't buy a space demand, you pay for disk space and bandwith
usage, in my case, they will be cheaper than an another vps for media
server.

I don't know Amazon S3 very well but I know Rackspace Cloudfiles, the
problem is that I can't have a path like this:

/media/main/folder1/folder2/file.jpg

I need something like this:

http://mediax.server.com/group1/file1.jpg

If you are starting your project, it could be easier to align.

There is cases of django and Amazon S3 on google and the Rackspace
Cloudfiles has a python lib too.

I use nginx in front of apache, if it is a media path, nginx takes
care of it without talk to apache. The apache server is used only for
django paths.

This is better than nothing but isn't the best choice. If i hit a site
with a separated media server, the page loads quickly because the page
and his media files load at the same time. There are hardware gains
too.

I hope I could help.

Best regards.

You would have to write a management command that did the sync.

Your command could then make use of the bulk load command as outlined here:

http://www.sympa.org/manual_6.1/database#importing_data_from_a_text_file

All you would need is a management command that either wrapped around
that creating a stream of text which could then be piped in or that it
did that for you.

Alternatively if you wanted to run the django instance on a different
machine (recommended++) you could make use of their SOAP server.

I would recommend having a look at Suds, a really nice python package
for talking to soap services.

reverse('django.contrib.auth.views.login') in auth tests returns /login/ rather then value set in LOGIN_URL

[Filip Gruszczyński]

In my settings I have set:

LOGIN_URL = '/accounts/login/'

Now if I run ./manage shell and type:

In [3]: reverse('django.contrib.auth.views.login')
Out[3]: '/accounts/login/'

which is ok. However, when I run one of the tests from django.contrib.auth:

def test_current_site_in_context_after_login(self):
response = self.client.get(reverse('django.contrib.auth.views.login'))
self.assertEquals(response.status_code, 200)
site = Site.objects.get_current()
self.assertEquals(response.context['site'], site)
self.assertEquals(response.context['site_name'], site.name)
self.assert_(isinstance(response.context['form'], AuthenticationForm),
 'Login form is not an AuthenticationForm')

reverse('django.contrib.auth.views.login') returns /login/. Why is
that? Is that a bug and I should file it in the issue tracker or maybe
I am doing something wrong?

Calling the model clean() even though validation errors have already been
noted is consistent with the way form validation is done: the form-wide
clean() is called even when validation errors have been raised for
individual fields. It's up to the form-wide clean() to make sure the values
it wants to work with survived the earlier cleaning attempts; this is noted
for example here:
http://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/ref/forms/validation/#cleaning-and-validating-fields-that-depend-on-each-other.
Similarly a model clean() method must be aware that the values it has may
not be valid per earlier validation that has been run.

In this specific case one way to deal with the issue would be to use a
try/except block and catch the DoesNotExist. If one is raised, you may
assume that that error has already been noted by the form cleaning, and just
ignore it.

(I am a little confused by your model definition though -- you have
departure and arrival defined as ForeignKeys to different models, so I don't
see how they would ever compare as equal, unless your actual code is
checking some attribute on each rather then equality of the foreign key
values themselves?)

Yes you can, as long as you have a model to create. How to do it is a
little convoluted, and the need to do this in reality is rare, but
here is how I would do it

1) Create a dynamic_models app that has a models.py that only has the
required imports
2) During registration at the point you activate the users account you
have a method that will append a new model to the dynamic_models
models.py file. The model must be uniquely named
3) Then once the new model is in the file call 'call_command('syncdb',
verbosity=0, interactive=False)'

And poof you have a new model in the DB for each user registered.

Details on programmatically calling management commands can be found
in the django documentation.

Now that I have told you how to do it I would like to hear your use
case because there is an 80+% chance you dont need to do this to
achieve the results you are looking for.

Form validation

[derape]

Hey there,
i've got a problem with the form validation.
I have a form where I need the currently logged in user, to check some
stuff. So I did this in the form:

def __init__(self, user, *args, **kwargs):
self.user = user
super(UpdateUserForm, self).__init__(*args, **kwargs)

And I pass the user in in the view

user = User.objects.get(pk=request.user.id)
from = UpdateUserForm(user, ...initialstuff...)

Somehow now all the validation methods aren't executed anymore
(clean_), not any of them. Without my own constructor it works.
Does anyone know why?

Thanks for your help

DjangoPluggableApp - A ReusableApp implementation

I've released DjangoPluggableApp so:

- developers can easily create and distribute a setuptools ready
application with a simple command[2]

- end users can install and configure an application without having to
read a bunch of docs and editing settings parameters and urls[3]

DjangoPluggableApp is not intrusive. This mean that:

- end users can use applications that not have a DjangoPluggableApp
entry_point in their projects
- an application based on the provided template can be used by end
users without DjangoPluggableApp installed.

DjangoPluggableApp is well tested. This mean that:

- the package itself is tested
- the application template is tested.

The work still in progress but it's already stable and usable.

Hope you'll enjoy it.

What architecture do you use for media?

[Andy Kelley]

I'm doing the first website where I need it to scale and want to host
the media on a different server than the one with the django code. I'm
going to have a lot of users uploading files ranging in 10 KB to 20 MB
in size. I estimate that the average user will upload 20 MB per week.
I have several questions about how all this works:

1. How do you get uploaded content from the django server to the media
server?
2. Do you typically use a different hosting company for the media
server than you do for the django server? If so, can you suggest any
names?
3. (I just thought of this) Or do you just literally mean a different
server, as in the software. Meaning use the same hardware server but
use for example lighttpd for serving media and apache wsgi for serving
django.

Re: css files are not loading properly for admin screens

[Oulom Souvannavong]

It is right

It is needed to have more information to help you.

Give some logs trace :

when you lunch your ./runserver.sh  :
- what are the HTTP Request logs when your browser try to find the CSS
files.
- what are your settings concerning the HTTP access at your unix directory [
HTTP server ? STATIC serving ?]

Re: Sync user objects with sympa mailinglist

Hi,

Re: Proxy models and object instantiation

[janedenone]

I found the (obvious) solution:

def __init__(self, *args, **kwargs):
super(Page, self).__init__(*args, **kwargs)
subclasses = {
'blog' : BlogPage,
'log' : LogPage,
'index' : Page,
}
self.__class__ = subclasses[self.page_type.name]

Thanks,
Jan

Re: How create M2M through with out PK?

[David De La Harpe Golden]

On 19/05/10 10:42, Daniel Roseman wrote:



How remove PK from table "libs_content_has_people" and don't use it?


You can't. Why would you want to?


Well, the natural primary key for a M2M table is quite typically 
composite and django's ORM just doesn't support composite primary keys 
right now.   IF you're trying to wrap an existing DB that uses composite 
primary keys with the django ORM, it's kind of a pain. Of course, you 
don't _have_ to use the django ORM if it's not fit for that purpose - 
SQLAlchemy supports composite primary keys fine IIRC, but is all a 
little more complicated than the Django ORM.


One "trick" that can help right now in some circumstances is to just lie 
and set the declared django model primary key field to just one of the 
columns in the true composite primary key. Then _reading_ data via the 
django ORM (at least 1.1.x, haven't got to trying the trick on 1.2 yet) 
will actually "happen to work" ...Just don't try to save!


I for one do believe composite keys could be added to the django orm 
without really hurting its user interface simplicity. Though not without 
complicating its implementation of course.  Say have a CompositeField 
model field that takes a list of underlying fields and translates 
to/from some dict-like CompositeValue python object wrapping the 
relevant underlying fields of the instance. ...and then "just" rework 
the ORM layer be able to handle them and constraints on them, including 
use as a primary key.


Wouldn't it be nice to be able to say

class OhAndAPonyToo(models.Model):
class Meta:
   db_table='existing_table_that_i_cannot_change'
people = models.ForeignKey(People)
content = models.ForeignKey(Content)
id = models.CompositeField(('people', 'content'), primary_key=True)
pony = models.CharField(max_length=10)

I expect CompositeForeignKey and perhaps even CompositeManyToMany and 
CompositeManyToCompositeMany fields could also be defined

(somewhat akin to GenericForeignKey implementation-wise)

order_by happens in the database. If you want to sort with
python you can use sorted():

  http://wiki.python.org/moin/HowTo/Sorting/

Your QuerySet gets a list during sorting. This means all items
need to fit into the memory.

contrib.auth test failures persist to 1.2

[Filip Gruszczyński]

I have just installed Django 1.2 hoping, that my test suites will
finally work flawlessly and I won't have to watch tests from
django.contrib.auth fail. But, here they are again. Does anyone have
any idea, how I can get rid of those? I would really like to see no
errors, because this way we could easily automate testing and detect
any true errors.

This has nothing to do with tuples. 'p' is not a tuple, but an
instance of Comment.

h = HoldComment.objects.get(pk=mypk)
h.HoldComments.add(p)

Re: css files are not loading properly for admin screens

[Sam Lai]

Your Django instance isn't set up properly to serve media. Have you
configured your web server (Apache, nginx, Cherokee etc.) to serve
media? If so, what URLs are they mapped to? You need to set that into
the MEDIA_URL variable, e.g. /media/. What you have now doesn't look
right.

MEDIA_ROOT tells Django where your media files actually reside on your
machine. This would be something like /home/your_website/media/.

Once you have done that, you need to tell Django how to access the
admin's media files. Start by symlinking your admin's media directory
into your MEDIA_ROOT. Let's say you symlink it into admin, so it can
be accessed by MEDIA_URL/admin/

ADMIN_MEDIA_PREFIX tells how to access the admin media from the web.
It is separate to MEDIA_URL. Assuming the above (i.e. your admin media
symlink is inside the MEDIA_ROOT), you would set it to /media/admin/

Once you've done all that, it should work.

Reference -
http://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/ref/settings/
http://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.2/howto/deployment/modpython/#id3

There's also a doc that tells you specifically how to set this up, but
I can't find it at the moment.
