Re: Password Generator
I also ran into this problem when trying to create new users in the Django admin interface. According to the Django documentation "We've added extra security to the stored passwords in Django's authentication system. Thanks to a patch from GomoX, passwords are now stored with a salt and use SHA-1 encryption instead of MD5." If anyone could shed some light on a SHA-1 password generator it would be much appreciated.

Re: How get user, included in generic views?
I don't know how to replicate it right now (I tried logging out and
deleting cookies, no dice) but it did happen to me once or twice while
I was developing something. If you only find this problem when you
aren't logged in then treating 'not user' as equivalent to
'user.is_anonymous' should be ok.
{% if user and not user.is_anonymous %}
Welcome, {{ user.username }}. Thanks for logging in.
{% else %}
Welcome, new user. Please log in.
{% endif %}
This is only a work-around: if you can replicate it then I'd say it's
ticket-worthy.

Limiting table editing in admin interface
Can anyone tell me if it's possible to limit which entries within a given table can be edited in the admin?

Re: Having trouble with views
Wow, thanks for the help! I do understand the principle of views and
templates now, but I still need some help.
I have managed to get out the slug name of my projects in
"mydomain/portfolio/". But I don't know how I write the view for the
detail page or how I get the right URL to the detail.
I want the URL to be "mydomain/portfolio/category_slug/project_slug"
like "mydomain/portfolio/3d/house/".
My urls.py looks like this:
from django.conf.urls.defaults import *
from myproject.portfolio.models import Project
from myproject.portfolio.models import Category
urlpatterns = patterns('',
# Polls:
(r'^polls/$', 'myproject.polls.views.index'),
(r'^polls/(?P\d+)/$', 'myproject.polls.views.detail'),
(r'^polls/(?P\d+)/results/$',
'myproject.polls.views.results'),
(r'^polls/(?P\d+)/vote/$', 'myproject.polls.views.vote'),
# Portfolio:
(r'^portfolio/$', 'myproject.portfolio.views.index'),
(r'^portfolio/(?P\d+)/$',
'myproject.portfolio.views.list'),
(r'^portfolio/(?P\d+)/(?P\d+)/$',
'myproject.portfolio.views.detail'),
# For homepage:
(r'^$', 'django.views.generic.simple.direct_to_template',
{'template': 'homepage.html'}),
# Uncomment this for admin:
(r'^admin/', include('django.contrib.admin.urls')),
)
My portfolio/view.py looks like this:
from django.shortcuts import render_to_response
from myproject.portfolio.models import Project
from myproject.portfolio.models import Category
# Create your views here.
def index(request):
latest_project_list = Project.objects.all().order_by('-created')
return render_to_response('portfolio/index.html',
{'latest_project_list': latest_project_list})
my portfolio/index.html looks like this:
Projects
{% if latest_project_list %}
{% for project in latest_project_list %}
{{
project.title }}
{% endfor %}
{% else %}
No Projects are available.
{% endif %}
I don't think my urls.py is correct for this type of setup, but Im not
shure. Would really appreciate all the help I can get. And thank you
again Malcom for all your help!
My portfolio app is still missing from the main menu inside admin, but
still works if I type in the direct url to it.
"mydomain/admin/portfolio/project/" . If anyone could spot the error in
my model.py (posted in the first post) that is causing the portfolio
to disappear, please let me know!

Re: How get user, included in generic views?
Hi,
I do actually have a very similar problem, and I've also checked the
more common errors (settings file,...).
I put in my templates:
{% if user.is_anonymous %}
Welcome, new user. Please log in.
{% else %}
Welcome, {{ user.username }}. Thanks for logging in.
{% endif %
But then, I only can see in my browser:
Welcome, . Thanks for logging in.
Any hint would be greatly apreciated, thanks!

Request context processors - shortcut
i'm going to be using custom context processors a lot so i've written
my own shortcut to invoke RequestContext and get a template rendered.
this is my function:
def render_to_response_with_context_processors(template_name, request,
args={}):
"""
this function was written to provide a "shortcut" when using
context processors
if i use this a lot i'll come up with a better (shorter) name
"""
t = template_loader.get_template(template_name)
c = RequestContext(request, args)
return HttpResponse(t.render(c))
this is the only way i could get context processors specified in the
setting TEMPLATE_CONTEXT_PROCESSORS to be run in a view. i basically
want to know if what i do is the "correct" way of doing things and also
if there are other way of getting context processors to run. (i.e. not
having to invoke RequestContext)?

OpenDocument and django
Hi ;).
Let's start with some presentation, please jump ahead for the
interesting stuff.
We (I mean my company) have evaluating some options to make a kind of
"business intelligence" web application. Basically a simple web page
where users make some selections, the app query a database and returns a
spreadsheet with some (well, some thousands of lines) data to further
process.
I had make some test with Zope and the zopedb product. Even make some
small test app. But I don't like it a lot, except by the way it
generates openoffice documents with the ZPT (Zope template system).
Some weeks ago we try Django. I made our test app (it's probably going
into production next week, yes it was a very nice test app. No I'm not
sure about it, it has been done with the svn version of django and I'm
not too confident to put it on production, even if this app is only
going to be used by 4 or 5 users).
HERE GOES THE INTERESTING STUFF
We search google for some info on opendocument support in django and we
find nothing. Creating spreadsheets was our goal so we develop something
similar in the test app. We add a module to create odt documents, odt
stands for "open document text". They are the .doc of openoffice.
We decided to share it here to get some feedback. We are planing to
restructure it to make it able to produce spreadsheets. It could
probably be easy to expand to work with the other open document formats,
or even with the Office XML files.
It's just a small script that relies on the power of the django template
system.
Usage:
1) Installation : Just drop the openoffice.py module in your app dir.
2) Create the document: Create an odt document, as complex as you like.
If you use openoffice to do it, please go to the configuration and
uncheck "Optimize XML for size". This will make the XML of the saved
file much more human readable.
Save it to a file like test.odt
3) Somewhere in you template path make some dir to store the document.
Let's say it will be called test
4) Unzip test.odt inside test.
5) Locate and edit context.xml file. Treat it as a any django template.
6) In your views add:
from yourapp.openoffice import *
def odt(request):
return odtgen('temp',{context},'filename.odt')
The odtgen function expects the name of the dir where the original file
is unpacked, a context used to render context.xml and a default filename
for the attachment.
The scripts imports the zip library, so it must be installed. I believe
it's installed by default with python, but I'm not completely sure.
It should be considered pre-alfa software. I haven't even tried it in a
production server yet.
The download link:
http://www.box.net/public/m8q3p8thnj
And that's all.

you ;).

Hi all, There is now a screencast showing a step by step installation of a real-life Django application on a WebFaction account. The 19 minute screencast shows how to: - Install a default Django application using our control panel - Make it available over HTTPS as well (useful for the admin area) - Create a database using the control panel - Change your database password using the control panel - SSH into your shell account - Replace the django module with the latest subversion version - Replace the django default project with your own project - Configure your project settings, sync your database - Restart your Apache+mod_python instance - Play with the admin area - Play with the actual application The screencast can be downloaded from http://blog.webfaction.com/django-screencast Many thanks to Ian Holsman (http://feh.holsman.net) for making this screencast. Remi. http://www.webfaction.com - Hosting for an agile web PS: Since I'm posting here I'll also answer two questions that we get a lot: yes you can use the latest subversion Django code on our accounts (this is what is done in the screencast) and yes you get your own Apache2+mod_python instance which you can stop/start on your own :) --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.

Template tags and context processors
greetings,
i have been working on a template loader to retrieve templates from the
database. after integrating the loader to work with the django's
admin, i now serve up templates from both the file system and the
database, for both the public and admin sites. one problem, however,
is with templatetags that retrieve django template code from the
database. the root of the problem is that the templatetags use the
Context object rather than the RequestContext object, which contains
all of the information contained in the TEMPLATE_CONTEXT_PROCESSORS
tuple stored in the settings.py file. so, for example, the auth object
is unavailable to me, which means i cannot use a code block like:
{% if not user.is_anonymous %}
logout
{% else %}
login
{% endif %}
which is stored in the database and which i retrieve using a
templatetag. in my template tag, i tried to over-ride Context with
from django.template import RequestContext as Context
and i did the same in my views file, but neither worked. i read in the
documentation that generic views use the RequestContext by default, but
my pages that use generic views were not rendering the templatetag
properly either. the rendering process for templatetags happens long
after the view phase, it seems.
can anyone suggest a way to force the use of RequestContext instead of
Context when creating template tags?
thanks in advance.
yours,
steve

Re: FileBrowser Test Version
a new version of the filebrowser is available for download. CHANGES: 001: You may define an initial directory for each FileBrowseField by adding a path to the help_text: Like "FileBrowser: /images/blog/" or "FileBrowser: /documents/pdf/". 002: Sorting algorithm also works with Python 2.3 now (thanks Archatas) 003: Additional slashes are only used for folders now I still need to look at the breadcrumbs. thanks for your feedback, patrick Am 11.07.2006 um 12:39 schrieb Archatas: > > Very nice, but there are some gotchas/bugs: > > 1. to make it work on Python 2.3, you need to change > line 198 in views.py > file_list.sort(cmp, lambda x: x[int(o)]) > to > file_list.sort(lambda x, y: cmp(x[int(o)], y[int(o)])) > (sort method takes only the comparisson function as a parameter in > Python 2.3) > > 2.

Re: The JavaScript ManyToMany Widget & view

That's because it's generated entirely with JavaScript. The admin views create a normal HTML 'select' element in the page, but also ensure that the files 'SelectBox.js' and 'SelectFilter2.js' are included inside script tags; these contain the JavaScript which turns the normal 'select' into the nice filter interface. Code is in these files: http://code.djangoproject.com/browser/django/trunk/django/contrib/admin/media/js/SelectBox.js http://code.djangoproject.com/browser/django/trunk/django/contrib/admin/media/js/SelectFilter2.js -- "May the forces of evil become confused on the way to your house." -- George Carlin --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.

Hello there, Is there a way to constrain a DateField with a choices tuple? I want the admin to restrict dates to valid months and years only.

Re: Including a php script in a template
I think, the only way to do that is to call the php script in shell
from the Django view, retrieve the results into a string, and to pass
it to the template.
To execute a command in the shell from withing Python, you should
write something like this:
import os
put, get = os.popen4("ls") # replace ls with php --parameters filetoexecute.php
result = "".join([line for line in get.readlines()])
Try that, maybe it will lead you to success.

Re: FileBrowser Test Version
thanks. I will take a look at the bugs mentioned by archatas - so there'll probably be a new version for download later today. SVN: I´ve never worked with SVN (well, besides using django), no idea how to do the setup. It´d be very useful but I don´t have the time to digg into that right now. patrick Am 11.07.2006 um 12:53 schrieb Phil Powell: > > This is fantastic stuff!

Re: FileBrowser Test Version
Very nice, but there are some gotchas/bugs: 1. to make it work on Python 2.3, you need to change line 198 in views.py file_list.sort(cmp, lambda x: x[int(o)]) to file_list.sort(lambda x, y: cmp(x[int(o)], y[int(o)])) (sort method takes only the comparisson function as a parameter in Python 2.3) 2. The links in the admin breadcrubs are not relative as in the original admin, therefore I need to change all templates if I have my django project in some directory instead of in the root of the domain. 3. If I upload an image to the root of uploads, the thumbnail isn't showed, because of additional slash in the path that is added next to the dir_name which doesn't exist. I think, you should also check whether dir_name is set at all, and only then add that slash at the end. 4. It works in Firefox, but it seems a little bit strange and may not work in other browsers, because all the uploaded images are being accessed with additional slash at the end of the URL. That were my notices. But on the whole, great work!

Please help - FCGI installation woes
Hello guys, I'm having a lot of trouble trying to install a Django app on a shared hosting (servage.net). The support people, even though they're very friendly an all, don't know crap about Django or how to install it. They're OK for normal tasks, but it gets a little deeper, they forward my request to a 'Senior' tech, and that can take a full day until the ticket gets answered (usually unsuccessfully). The problem is, I'm stuck with them and must get this app to work VERY soon (remember, perfectionists with deadlines?). I really want this to happen, since the alternative is to continue regurgitating C# crap that I'm just sick and tired of. So, enough of ranting. Can anybody direct me into a step-by-step explanation of the install process? I've look here (http://www.djangoproject.com/documentation/fastcgi/) but I just don't know what to do. I tried the last entry (create .htaccess and mysite.fcgi), but to no avail -- I don't really know how to test or see whether Django is installed, running, or whatever. Since I don't have shell access (they don't support ssh for 'security reasons'), I understand I won't be able to use manage.py, so "syncdb" will have to be via phpMyAdmin or similar, and so on. Here's what I did: * Downloaded the latest DJango snapshot onto $webroot/django_src * Created a file for my project at $webroot/avtopage I don't really know how to continue. Questions arising are: * How do I tell the installed Python to 'see' django_src? If that's thru symlinking to $python/site-packages/, the tech support guys told me they can do it. * What do I do to have my 'avtopage' directory (accesible via http://domain/avtopage) to be Django-enabled? ... but I'm sure I'm missing something big here. (it shows it used the development server to work on the app, doesn't it?) I just don't know where to look, sorry to sound so whiny, but I don't have anybody else to turn to but you, the community. Thanks for the time to read this, and if you can help me out, you don't know how big of a Django evangeliser you'll find in me! (at least in Slovenia, where I'm currently based) =) Best regards and thanks a million, -- Carlos Yoder http://carlitosyoder.blogspot.com --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.

Re: User never logs out
In my opinion (having gone through this problem), that would only mask the issue at hand, not solve it. I think it would be better if the code in the documentation used RequestContext instead of Context, specially the code in the tutorial. Maybe also throw in why RequestContext is used and what do we get from it for free. --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.
