I can compute these values by inspecting both the Orders and Reimbursetables. Is that the best way?Rule 1 of database design - Don't replicate data. Ever. You need to have a serious look at your requirements, and make sure that any given datum has one, and only one representation in the table. If you're looking for some pointers on the sort of representations you should be striving for, try searching for "Third Normal Form" -
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Third_normal_form is not a bad starting point.In your case, I would be asking questions like: - Will the expenditure account always be the same as the Reimbursement account? If so, don't keep the account reference twice.
- Will the reimburse_for amount always equal price*count on the related expenditure? If so, don't keep the amount separately- Can a single order be part of multiple expenditures? If not, why does Order relate 1-n with Expenditure?
An entity-relationship model might help you sort out these details:http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Entity-relationship_modelOnce you have your model sorted out, you can use SQL to pull data from multiple tables, and you can use SQL to perform calcuations based upon data from multiple tables.
for example:SELECT tableA.field1, (tableA.field1 * tableB.field2) AS total FROM tableA INNER JOIN tableB ON tableA.join_id = tableB.idDjango provides access to this sort of thing using a combination of select, where and tables clauses. Select allows you to add additional attributes to the objects you are retrieving; tables allows you to force other sources of data into a query, and where allows you to add additional constraints (such as a join constrain). The previous SQL query would end up something like:
>>> tableAs.get_list(select={'total', 'tableA.field1 * tableB.field2'}, tables='tableB', where='tableA.join_id=tableB.id')[obj1, obj2,...]Then, to look at your total:>>> obj1.total

Can I pass a python iterator to a template?
I want to display a grid view of some of the data from a large database. I want to manipulate each data row prior to displaying it, so I can't just let the template code do the database read work. Since the dataset is potentially large, what I want to do is write an iterator which will read the model's data (using get_iterator()', manipulate the data rows, and then yield a dictionary (what Django seems to call a 'context') for each row. Then I would pass my iterator in to the template, and use a 'for' loop in the template to get each row of the data and fill in the data values. When I actually try this, I get a traceback ending with: /home/mike/Work/projects/django/trunk/django/core/template/defaulttags.py in render 83. context.push() 84. try: 85. values = self.sequence.resolve(context) 86. except VariableDoesNotExist: 87. values = [] 88. if values is None: 89. values = [] 90. len_values = len(values) So, am I completely off base here? Is what I want to do not possible, or is there another way I can tackle this?

In my environment I didn't want all LDAP users to be able to login to the application, only thosee userrs that had had been explicitly created in the django user db. So the flow is this: If user in django userdb: check user password via ldap (or whatever) auth method. I have written a very simple pluggable auth module that does all of this and has support for LDAP. I'll put it up in the django wiki next week when i get back to work if anyone is interested.

Re: specifying a model with a field computed from other fields
You're absolutely right, I could simply compute those values as required. I also confess to not having very much dbase design experience so your commentary is valuable. My question was also partly motivated by the documentation on the _pre_save method, which seemed to suggest it might serve my purpose. My motivation here is there are tables other than Reimburse that will do very similar things, but require some unique attributes. So I was looking for a way to assess expenditures in one place, rather than inspecting multiple tables. Of course I realise common things like count and price belong in expenditures, bit I'm still faced with the issue of needing to associate that expenditure with an Account. And that means if I want to determine the status of an account I need to look at all tables in which expenditures are being made. Modifying Russell's model, I'll add a Order table and put price and count into Expenditure: -- model -- class Account(Model): owner = CharField() class Order(Model): catalogid = IntegerField() vendor = CharField() account = ForeignKey(Account) expenditure = ForeignKey(Expenditure) # diff class Reimburse(Model): account = ForeignKey(Account) reimburse_for = CharField() expenditure = ForeignKey(Expenditure) # diff class Expenditure(Model): price = FloatField() count = IntegerField() account = ForeignKey(Account) I can compute these values by inspecting both the Orders and Reimburse tables. Is that the best way? Comments appreciated. --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.

One concern I have had with your question is *why* you want to make this a foreign key? Since expenditure is duplicating information that is already available, it is slightly bad database practice to include it in there (your model is not in any "normal form" in the nomenclature). Is there some reason you need a foreign key here, rather than just a separate value? After all, if you were doing this as a pure database problem (rather than through Django), it would be recommended that you never store expenditure, but just compute it from the raw values when needed (which is pretty fast, since it involves a join on one field).

Re: LDAP _without_ built-in Django user authentication
OK, I was confused about why Django still needs usernames in its database even though LDAP is the new authentication method. I thought it would require authenticating via LDAP, then checking for the user _and_ pass in Django's database. I didn't realize that I will only have to copy the username (not the password), and that authentication does not need to occur a second time against the Django user list.

Re: specifying a model with a field computed from other fields
Thanks for your response and sorry about the cryptic nature of the query.

I want to be able to record this transaction in an expenditures table - recording the cost and account. I want expenditures to be a ForeignKey, but I want to create it based on values entered (num_units * unit_cost, account).

Search for the following rule in the file /media/css/changelists.css:
.change-list .filtered table, .change-list .filtered .paginator,
.filtered #toolbar, .filtered div.xfull { margin-right:160px !important;
width:auto !important; }
and change the margin-right to 180px. It's the sixt rule from the top in
the unmodified css file.
To get the changelist columns background to also be 180px from top to
bottom you may have to make the following image 20px wider:
/media/img/admin/changelist-bg.gif
Don't know if that's all that needs changing. But it should get you started.
cheers

models and forward declarations
Hi, I try to throw django on an existing database. Unfortunately, there are cyclic foreign key dependencies between tables, and I'm looking for a way to express this in the model. (I use the magic-removal branch from cvs). Is there a way? Something like class Bah(Models.model): ... class Igitt(Models.model): bah = Models.ForeignKeyField(Bah) ... Bah.igitt = Models.ForeignKeyField(Igitt) ? Any suggestions welcome ... I'm also interested whether anyone has tried to use an existing database with Django.

Re: LDAP _without_ built-in Django user authentication
If it was my decision I'd simply use Django's authentication. Unfortunately it's my supervisor's decision, and he wants me to use LDAP _exclusively_ so that's what I have to do. I don't know much about LDAP, but from what I understand users can be grouped based on their level of access. For example, if John Doe has a new user account on our LDAP server, then he would be in the catch-all Employee group. However, to gain access to the web app he would need to be the in DjangoUser group (or whatever). Thus, even though he can be authenticated by LDAP, he wouldn't have the necessary group permissions. --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.

Re: table needs all fields filled in?
Hi, blank=True should allow you to submit a partially-filled form, but you have a lot of core=True fields in there as well, perhaps you have too many? From the Model Reference documentation http://www.djangoproject.com/documentation/model_api/; core For objects that are edited inline to a related object. In the Django admin, if all "core" fields in an inline-edited object are cleared, the object will be deleted. It is an error to have an inline-editable relation without at least one core=True field.

AND the documentation on forms shows an action with no trailing slash for "create_form" so I never thought that a trailing slash was needed. see http://www.djangoproject.com/documentation/forms/ in the finished version of the "create_form" template it uses "action="." with no trailing slash. So, why is it that action="." as in the documentation with no trailing slash is ok but action="rated" isn't ok?

Re: why is my view for a submitted form not getting a POST?
What is happening is that Django is redirecting your request from "rating" to "rating/" (which is the correct location). Unfortunately POST information is lost in this redirect.

(i.e. never got to the "if request.POST").it barfs on the foo = bar line and the debug info shows: Request Method: GET ... GETNo GET data POST No POST data
I thought that clicking on the SUBMIT button would be a post methodand that request.POST would be true (and POST would bepopulated)... but it's not. Because it gets an exception at the"foo=..." line, I know that it is getting to that view when I click
submit.Huh? ? What's happening? What am I doing wrong? ?p.s. although it never gets to the line "... request.POST['rating']",is that the right way to write it to pull the input field named "rating"

Re: LDAP _without_ built-in Django user authentication
Whats the problem with faking a user ? I would reccomend during you LDAP auth code you simple create a user in django.users if it doesnt already exit. This can be compeltly transparent to the user, they will never know. I tend to like to have to setup users to my small admin sites, cause everyone who works for the company shouldnt have access to it even though they could auth via ldap correctlty. --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.

CSS issues
Hi Folks,
I've copied the admin css to be used for my views, but I've added in
this custom section which is a modified version of the FILTER COLUMN
from changelist.css:
/* FILTER COLUMN (CUSTOM VERSION) */
#changelist-filter-custom {position:absolute; top:0; right:0;
width:180px; border-left:1px solid #ddd; background:#efefef; margin:0;}
#changelist-filter-custom h2 {font-size:11px; padding:2px 5px;
border-bottom:1px solid #ddd;}
#changelist-filter-custom h3 {font-size:12px; margin-bottom:0;}
#changelist-filter-custom ul
{padding-left:0;margin-left:10px;_margin-right:-10px;}
#changelist-filter-custom li {list-style-type:none; margin-left:0;
padding-left:0;}
#changelist-filter-custom a {color:#999;}
#changelist-filter-custom a:hover {color:#036;}
#changelist-filter-custom li.selected {border-left:5px solid #ccc;
padding-left:5px;margin-left:-10px;}
#changelist-filter-custom li.selected a {color:#5b80b2 !important;}
Basically what I've changed is the width in the first item (from 160px
to 180px, as well as removing the z-index so that a custom calendar
item pops up okay. Problem now is best illustrated with a picture:
http://www.greenleaftech.net/members/mthaddon/django_css
