The Django book is out of date. Are you running version 1.0? If so
you'll need to follow the online documentation, instead of the book.
See http://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/ref/contrib/admin/--

models.py
`
from __future__ import division
import os
import tempfile
import Image
from django.core.files import File
class Picture(models.Model):
name = models.CharField(max_length=200)
thumbnail = models.ImageField(upload_to='thumbnail')
def save(self, force_update=False, force_insert=False):
orig = Image.open(self.thumbnail.path)
name = os.path.basename(self.thumbnail.name)
width = 100
height = 100
thumb = orig.resize((width, height), Image.ANTIALIAS)
thumb_file = tempfile.NamedTemporaryFile('w+b')
thumb.save(thumb_file,'JPEG')
self.thumbnail.save(name, File(thumb_file), False)
thumb_file.close() #tempfile is deleted upon close:)

Where else in main Apache configuration files or .htaccess files is PythonPath directive mentioned? Can you better describe the directory hierarchy and not say '...'. Actual directory listings (ls -las) of each of the directories you have already added to PythonPath would help. This would be so much more predictable if using mod_wsgi. Python path stuff in mod_python is a PITA and causes so many problems, although documentation for mod_python setup doesn't help much. :-( BTW, what version of mod_python are you using?

Re: pythonpath problem
Right. And the PythonPath directive ought to do the trick, but it clearly isn't. The server belongs to a friend who gave me permission to everything under the redfenceproject.com directory (one above redfence), and I created the apps folder, so I'm not sure what the problem is.

Re: pythonpath problem
I have a handful of apps in that folder. I can add it to sys.path using sys.path.insert(0, path) and they import fine after, but that only lasts one session. How do I make it stick?

released (this was after the book was written). To get the latest

I do the following to print out only 2 decimal places from a float: >>> x = 35. >>> print "%.2f" % x 35.00 You can use float() instead of print to get a float type back, but that is probably not the most efficient way to do things. -- Best, R --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.

Re: Admin form
Hi Sadeesh,
first of all i thank you for reply me..
Sadeesh i tried your code but again i am getting module error
Traceback erro:
File "/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/django/core/urlresolvers.py",
line 132, in _get_callback
raise ViewDoesNotExist, "Could not import %s. Error was: %s" %
(mod_name, str(e))
ViewDoesNotExist: Could not import admin.site. Error was: No module
named admin.site
when i manually checked again then there i get one folder named admin
within contrib and that is folder so we can import the folder itself
so i saw that file inside sites folder then i tried to import like
from django.contrib.sites import admin but again same error..
Thanks

Your libmysqlclient_r.so.15 file can't be installed in a standard
location. Where is it installed? Do you have anything set in your user
environment so it can be found when you run it as you? Apache runs as
a different user and will not have your environment.

# (r'^blog/', include('blog.foo.urls')),
(r"^admin/", include("django.contrib.admin.urls")),
(r"^pro/book/$", "blog.blogapp.views.bookentry"),
)

How to show only 2 decimal places in my view?
Hello, I have the following code: /// b = Choice.objects.filter(choice=a.collection.id) for cb in b: discount_price = cb.price.name * Decimal(str(.75)) cb.price.name = discount_price assert False, cb.price.name /// Basically I'm just decreasing my price by 25%. However, when I do this my new value contains 4 decimal places. 37.5000 or 135.. What do I need to do to only show 2 decimal places. I know how to do it in my template.

Oh, right. I missed that error initially. Yes, you're doing it
incorrectly. The first positional argument to a form (which is what you
are passing in) is the data from the form submission. Passing in that
data means the form is treated as a "bound" form, so the data is
validated as part of displaying the form, so that errors can be
displayed. Since you only passed in one of the many required values, you
get all those errors.
What you really want to pass in is initial data. This is done with the
"initial" parameter to the form constructor. So your GET branch would
look like
form = newFenceForm(initial={'auth_id' : auth_id})
I thought "initial" was documented in the forms documentation, but I
cannot find it right now, so maybe that's been missed. In any case,
that's the way to do it.

Re: hidden fields in forms
OK, thanks for your suggestions (and yes, I meant "POST").
The problem now appears to be how I initialize the form's value of
auth_id! If I use just
{{form.as_p}}
in my template, I get the following html:
(Hidden field auth_id) This field is
required.
This field is required.
Teaser:
This field is required.
Url:
This field is required.
Address:
This field is required.
Range:
No value is initialized for auth_id ... so perhaps the problem is in
how I'm calling the constructor for newFenceForm?

Nothing look immediately wrong to me. So, the first question here is whether you've checked the permissions on apps/? Apache will need execute permissions for the "other" section in order to traverse into that directory. Since you suggest that things inside redfence/ are imported fine, it sounds like the permissions are okay at least down to that level, so I'd have a look at the redfence/apps/ permissions. How are you verifying that nothing imports from apps/? For example, I would try putting a really simple file in there that, when imported, prints a message to sys.stderr (and then calls sys.stderr.flush() because modpython buffers stderr) and check the Apache error log for your virtual host. Essentially, take Django out of the equation for the time being. You could even put the little test function from the modpython documentation into that directory and use that as the handler to check the python path is set up correctly. (As an aside: I doubt that you need to specify django.root in that config. That option is only need if you SCRIPT_NAME is *not* going to be '/'.)

Well..you aren't passing auth_id to the template, you are passing
form. auth_id is a field inside your template. Can you post your
template?

hidden fields in forms
I'm just not getting this. I've looked at many examples and can't seem
to pass a hidden value into a form.
The problem is that I initially get to the form with GET, and then
instantiate the form with PUT. The key that I need is part of the
original URL, and I'm trying to push it down into the PUT data as
well, but failing.
I have
(r'^fences/newFence/(?P.*)$', 'newFence'),
class newFenceForm(forms.Form):
teaser = forms.CharField(max_length=40)
url = forms.CharField()
address = forms.CharField()
range = forms.IntegerField()
auth_id = forms.CharField(widget=forms.HiddenInput)
def newFence(request, auth_id):
if request.method == 'POST':# if the form has been submitted
form = newFenceForm(request.POST)
if form.is_valid():
# do the geocoding
print form.cleaned_data['auth_id']
print form.cleaned_data['teaser']
print form.cleaned_data['url']
print form.cleaned_data['address']
print form.cleaned_data['range']
# save the object
u = User.objects.filter(auth_id = id)
# show them the new map
return HttpResponseRedirect('../../fences/fenceMap/
%s'%auth_id)
else:
print auth_id
form = newFenceForm({'auth_id' : auth_id})
return render_to_response("map/newfence.html", {'form': form, })
I call this with, say, '.../newFence/chris' and the first time through
it prints 'chris' and instantiates the empty form. But where my
template says
the string between curlies is always empty.
What trick am I missing to get that data initiated? Should a
HiddenInput widget be rendered differently in the template?
(I'm happy to take suggestions for a different way to crack this, too
- the problem is that I have to do some post processing on the input
data before creating the object, or I'd use a generic view.)
Thanks.

Sounds like there might be a bug in the third-party handler (pyisapie)
that you're using. parse_file_upload is a member of the
django.http.HttpRequest class, not a module-level member.
While you're over filing a bug about that portion of pyisapie, you could
maybe file a bug suggesting very strongly that they don't recommend
putting it in django/core/handlers/ (I'm assuming their documentation
told you to put it there; if you did it on your own, then that's still
bad practice). That isn't necessary (since it can be imported from
anywhere on your Python path) and makes it look like, in the traceback,
that there's a problem in django/core/ somewhere. But the problem is
with this third-party module and entirely beyond our control. There's no
need for third-party modules to change Django's source distribution like
this.

Malcolm

Sort Table Headers after data has been rendered via a POST request
I am hoping someone from this list may have some ideas on a solution to a problem I am facing... I am using a SortHeaders class to perform ascending and descending filtering on table column headers. (The SortHeaders is found on Django Snippets, http://www.djangosnippets.org/snippets/308/, and works well!) This works great when performing simple queries based on GET parameters. My Question: how to implement the same table header sorting after a POST request? In my case I am submitting a form to search for items and then rendered the queried data with table headers which are intended for clickable sorting. The problem is that when I click on the table headers the data is sent as a GET request and thus the POST query never takes place. Any suggestions on solutions? The only idea I have is create a form around the column headers with the search filters embedded as hidden inputs. Then when a user sorts the table columns by clicking on a column header, the same search request would be submitted and the data would be ordered by the desired column. My biggest problem with this approach is that I can't get the data to be submitted as a post request it always seems to be submitted as a GET request. Hopefully all of this makes sense... if not, let me know and I'll shed some light with examples. --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.

This code works fine now, but I can see it getting slow. > I'm not sure of a pre-built way of doing this, but if your data is guaranteed to be sorted, you can take advantage of that, and improve the performance of the algorithm. Use a binary search rather than iterating through the whole current_projects list. You can also use the Python keyword 'in' instead of comparing each term: for b in output_list: if b not in current_projects: new_projects.append(b) Even this will give you a bit of a performance boost, because 'in' doesn't (shouldn't?) iterate through the whole list in every case. I don't believe that 'in' will take advantage of a sorted List, so if it really matters to you, you could implement your own function that does. Another thing that may speed things up: right now you are building the output_list up, and then building the current_projects list up, and then comparing them one by one. You could build the current_projects list, and then instead of putting the items in 'output_list' into a list, do the comparison there: if item not in current_projects: new_projects.append(item) Of course, this won't work if you are getting a list as input, and not the individual items.

Function-based objects in admin "Change..." page.
Hello.
I'm using Django v1.
When I want to add a column in an admin list page, I just create a
function in the associated model class and add it to the
"list_display" tuple in the same model class. For instance, if I
wanted to create a link to a reference id that would show up as a
column, I would do something like this:
def link_to_reference(self):
try:
id = Reference.objects.get(id=self.referenced_by_id).id
except Reference.DoesNotExist:
return 'Does not exist.'
return ''+str(id)+''
link_to_reference.short_description = 'Referral ID'
link_to_reference.allow_tags = True
Then do this:
list_display = ('somefield1', 'somefield2' ... 'link_to_referrer')
This always works well for me. Now I am trying to do something similar
on an admin change form. Instead of using the "list_display" tuple, I
try the "fields" tuple like this:
fields = (('Section 1', {'fields': ('field1', 'field2' ...
'link_to_reference'})))
I get a "FieldDoesNotExist" exception.
Does anyone know a (simple) way perform this type of function-based
sudo-field creation on the admin change form?
Thanks in advance.

A view takes a request, parses it, and returns the response. This process holds true for html, an image, pdf, or office document. You'll likely want to use PIL for the actual manipulation/operation, but as long as you can get the binary content of the image into Python, you're fine. Simply set the mime type and content of the response, and you're good to go. There are examples in the Django documentation on how to do this with a PDF, but the response object instance creation will be basically the same for an image as well. Take care!

Compare Lists for Unique Items
I've been working with Python and Django for the past week or so and thus far it's been great. My question is more of a general Python question than it is a Django question, but hopefully I can get some help or a link to an appropriate doc/website. So far I've not been able to dig up much useful information up on Google. The application that I'm working on checks a CVS repository for all active projects and returns a list of the corresponding project names. I'd then like to put these names into a database. We start a few new projects every week, so our CVS repo grows fairly quickly and I'd like to be able to have the database stay current, either with a cron job or by a user starting the processes. So far all that works, but since CVS will always return a full list of projects, and I only want one entry in the database per project, I need to filter out the new projects. Right now I'm just comparing what the CVS return list contains with what is in the database. Here is the code that I use. Output_list is from CVS and current_projects is from the database. Is there a faster way to do this, or a built in method in Python? This code works fine now, but I can see it getting slow. for b in output_list: found = False for i in current_projects: if i.name == b: found = True if not found: new_projects.append(b) Thanks for the help, Alex --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.

Copy data from 1 model to another
Model A has 50 fields. Model B has 20 of model A's 50 fields. I am trying to make a nightly cron job that will make a queryset of model A based on a filter and copy that information into model B. I also don't want it to copy the information if it already exists in model B. Does anyone know a good way to do this? I thought I might be able to make an empty instance of model B and somehow get the field names, but that isn't working. If I could do something like that, I could iterate through the values of model A's queryset and compare them to model B. If one of the fields match I could copy the data in and save the instance. --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.

Dynamic image creation
Hello, I'd like to be able to generate images dynamically for a Django-based website, and I'm wondering how best to go about it. The idea is to do certain things to existing images, such as superimpose them on a background. The set of base images will be more-or-less static; it's just the operation performed on it which might change, so I don't really want to create an image model and have to instantiate it for each image. Rather I'd like to be able to simply put them in a directory, so I can make a request for 'imagename-operation.png', and have my application check to see if it exists in a cache, and if not, look for 'imagename.png' in the base images directory and apply the given operation to it. I'm fine with the image operations, but I can't decide where I should be doing this work. I'm tempted to do it all in a view, so 'imagename' and 'operation' are parsed from the request name and passed to the appropriate function, which returns the image. Doing it in the view however doesn't really feel right, and I wondered if perhaps I would be better with some custom middleware, or something else entirely. Does anybody have any advice?

What's your server setup (Apache? lighttpd?) and within that config, what's your $PYTHONPATH set to? My guess is that it doesn't include the directory containing your urls.py which, for mod_python would be a line like PythonPath "['/path/to/project'] + sys.path" Since it's working from your manage.py shell, are you either running manage.py from within that directory (if so, try running it from another directory such as cd ~/tmp ~/dev/proj/manage.py shell to see if it still works), or do you set your $PYTHONPATH in your current shell (such as your .bashrc)? -tim --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.

Re: GeoDjango in Ubuntu 8.10, Segmentation Fault
Justin, I reran my tests with the latest version of Apache on my 8.10 test machine. I am no longer getting the Segfaults with either worker or prefork. I am now getting an Invalid SRS type "wkt" error (that I assume you are now running into). I have tried several things (including downgrading PostGreSQL to 8.3.4 from 8.3.5 and switching my GDAL directory to an invalid location but have not been able to duplicate the Segfault problem. (I had an invalid GDAL directory specified when I was testing last week, but switching it back now gives me the expected OGR failure exception). Let me know whether any further testing that I can do would be useful (maybe seeing whether compiling GEOS and GDAL works with the newest Apache version?)? Thanks, for now the downgraded Apache version is working without any problems.

I have tested Komodo Edit and personally I like best vim + extensions, Eric4, Eclipse + pyDev or actually Netbeans. I you haven't tested yet give Netbeans a look. In my opinion this is the way to go on Python development. Eclipse+pyDev and Eric4 actually have more Python options, specially on refactoring, but Netbeans interface is much clearer and the combination of auto completion and documentation is really good. I also like very much the svn diff tool with syntax highlight. Eclipse and Eric4 have a more svn interface. From Netbeans I don't like that the auto completion shows all the packages that are in the project even if they aren't related to it, and that it shows the pyc.

Newtonian solution required to fire off a data processing script on the server (REST or SOAP)
I am very much interested in Newtonian solution of using a function to fire off a data processing script to run over the internet. I will be very grateful if you can advise me on passing parameters from an HTML form to button associated with a script and fire an external script off to carry out full execution, monitor its progress and return an innerHTML with link (a name string of) the file generated back to allow user to download the result. The script run over a period of 2 to 3 minutes. Necessary are the following steps: * user submits data to the server from a web page using an HTML form; server redirects the browser to a status page that says "script is running"; * in the background, the server fires off a worker script that does the job; the server monitors the script to see when it's done (this monitoring can be tied to the status page: when the user reloads the status page, the server looks at the script to check if it's done); * user refreshes the page (or the page refreshes itself) until script is finished, and the page says "script finished; here are the results" * some kind of cleanup of data, either with a cron job or manually by the user Regards.

Re: Reusable forms!
You have to pass form instance to all pages context where it is used. You
can do it explicitly or write custom context processor or (the better
solution) write custom inclusion tag.

Re: GeoDjango in Ubuntu 8.10, Segmentation Fault
> Based on comments in a separate thread, GeoDango may have issues with > multithreaded configuration. Which Apache MPM was being used for each > Apache version, prefork or worker? The worker MPM uses threads and so > that could be the culprit. Yes -- the libraries GeoDjango uses, GEOS and GDAL, are not thread safe. Thus, it is highly recommended to use the prefork version of Apache. > In a Python Shell, I am able to perform queries on my spatial models > successfully. In a web browser, I get a plain white screen if any > code is executed that works with spatially enabled models. I created an Ubuntu 8.10 VM to try and test out this problem. However, the only way that I could reproduce your exact problem (segfault upon HTTP request) is when using the mpm-worker (threaded) Apache. When using the prefork, however, I was able to get both mod_python and mod_wsgi to work with a simple demonstration app [1]. I think mpm-worker is the default when you do `apt-get install apache2`, so make sure you have it removed, e.g., `apt-get remove apache2-mpm-worker; apt-get install apache2-mpm-prefork`. BUT, I found another issue -- while I could login to and browse the admin interface, whenever I tried to view a geographic model an exception would get raised (but no segfault) deep in the admin widgets [2], crashing the app. While this crash occurs in 8.10 it does _not_ happen in my 8.04 VM. Thus, this leads me to believe that it may be a manifestation of the same troubles you're experiencing. Moreover, this admin crash happens with _both_ mod_python and mod_wsgi in 8.10 (mod_wsgi configured with `threads=1`). Needless to say, this behavior has me perplexed at the moment, and due to my finals I'm not going to have a lot of time to dig in deeper until next month. Perhaps there's a clash of the libraries that are linked to Apache and the ones used by the packaged versions of GEOS/ GDAL, or maybe it's caused by Ubuntu's AppArmor (confined to just CUPS in 8.04) -- but these are just potential possibilities. > Justin was good enough to run a test case I created and was unable to > duplicate the error. I'm wondering now about the exact versions of > Apache and other components that might be causing the problem. I still have the CentOS 5.2 VM, and I'll test it out again, but I'm not sure yet that this could be the same issue as you reported in October. It's a different distribution that used significantly older versions (that also worked in my tests).

However, I can't get this to work: class Job(models.Model): progress = models.PositiveSmallIntegerField() def get_progress(self): snippet = u"Progress is %d" % self.progress return mark_safe(snippet) What happens is that the "" and "" gets translated into "" and "

Re: Usage opinion wanted
Hi, Thanks for the wonderful inputs. All right, I will give you the actual scenario and maybe you guys can help me further: I think the application should have 4 modules, interconnected with each other and accessible via proper user perms: 1. The front office: This will have all student records, their results, records of staff etc. + Fee/Donation collection, salary distribution modules etc. 2. The academic administrator: This will have all academic records of students + managing academic calender + this might also have certain modules for *building up* question/activity bank for students etc. 3. Manager: This will have financial records + inventory + bus management system etc. 4. Teacher: This will have all basic info + academic records of students + *viewing* question/activity bank. (This module might be accessed via 2-3 PCs kept in staff room) I want to have good UI for creating & viewing question + activity bank and also managing academic calender, as that will be used by people who are not much computer savvy. Rest I guess, would be mostly data manipulation. I think not much networking is involved here, right, apart of course from accessing the database server? I guess, now that I have read your emails and have noted down my requirements, I would rather go with django, right? Thanks once again! Regards, Saurabh.

It's perfect. I've used that and this: http://www.pointy-stick.com/blog/2008/10/15/django-tip-poor-mans-model-validation/ to combine the model and form validation.

Re: multi field validation
Alessandro, I'm not exactly sure what you're asking, but I think you want to know how to check multiple fields (possibly against each other) when submitting a form in the admin. Let me know if I'm off-base here. Take a look at: http://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/ref/contrib/admin/#adding-custom-validation-to-the-admin You can do multi-field validation by adding a clean() method that will run after every clean_FIELDNAME() method, and can do any checking you need, and raise a ValidationError if it fails. -Jeff On Nov 25, 4:29 am, "Alessandro Ronchi" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > It's not possible to validate a model in admin checking multiple forms > conditions? > > is there any example or code snippet ? > > -- > Alessandro Ronchi > Skype: aronchihttp://www.alessandroronchi.net > > SOASI Soc.Coop. -www.soasi.com > Sviluppo Software e Sistemi Open Source > Sede: Via Poggiali 2/bis, 47100 Forlì (FC) > Tel.: +39 0543 798985 - Fax: +39 0543 579928 > > Rispetta l'ambiente: se non ti è necessario, non stampare questa mail --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.

Re: Usage opinion wanted
Saurabh, I have spent the past year developing a GUI application (using wxPython) that communicates with a server (using Twisted), which connects to a PostgresQL database (using SQLAlchemy.) It has been a very rewarding experience learning and using all of these tools. However, the learning curve was quite steep--especially getting all of the libraries to work with each other. I've also worked on a number of Django web applications in the same time. Having written web sites/applications since the early days of the web, I can safely say that Django is the best tool for doing so. Period. It makes me regret the years I spent working with PHP. You obviously have serious programming experience--C++ (especially graphics work) is much harder than anything you'll be dealing with for this application. So really, it depends on what set of tools you *want* to learn. HTML, CSS and (basic) Javascript are very easy to pick up--almost negligible when compared with learning a GUI toolkit and networking library (or dealing with connections manually, which is very painful.) Another thing to consider are deploying the application. With a GUI app, you'd need a way of deploying and updating for every machine it runs on. With a web app--make your change on the server and you're done. How many people would be using the app? Then there's the matter of how complicated of an interface you really need. What does the application need to *do*? For most things, a web app would suffice. I went with a desktop app because (eventually) the app will need to incorporate a very UI-intensive scheduling module. If most of your app will be simple forms, and displaying lists of data--go with Django. I started writing this e-mail with the intent of giving a balanced opinion, but it seems that I think you should go with Django. If you can tell me more about your app and what it will need to do, I can try to give you some better advice, but really, it boils down to this: writing a GUI app will take *much* longer than writing the equivalent with Django. However, you may have to sacrifice some usability. -Jeff On Nov 24, 8:24 pm, "Saurabh Agrawal" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Hi group: > > I hope that you good people here could help me with a decision I am finding > hard to make. > > I am about to develop a MIS type application for a Non for profit > organization teaching young children in India. > > I am trying to use this opportunity to make myself learn python, and if > required the whole web based development paradigm using django. > > I have experience of c++ graphical algorithms development. > > Now obviously this application would be database based and database > manipulation would be the major part.

Well... This is the whole point of a model layer : centralizing model- related stuff where it belongs. Also note that Python being highly dynamic, you can add new methods at runtime to an existing class, which is very handy when using third-part applications: # mymodel.py from thirdpart.model import Person def get_age(self): return calculate_age(self.birth_date) Person.get_age = get_age HTH --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.

Your user profile is a model after all and it needs to reside in your database for get_profile to work. To be honest, it seemed to me your post was a thinly disguised jab at the docs. We all feel the way you do at first, that everything is hard to find. But if you keep reading the docs and studying other people's source code (check out all the django apps on code.google.com), you'll get the hang of this. I realize we all learn differently and at our own pace. I think that the django docs are some of the most well written and comprehensive docs I have seen for an open source web framework. Seriously. Have you ever looked at another frameworks docs? If you find the docs lacking on some point, write a Trac ticket. The developers are very responsive to documentation requests in my one single experience. They understand the value of good docs. I also encourage you to get on the IRC channel. You can get fast pointers from experts that way if you are stuck. And finally, don't forget the actual django source code. Learning how to navigate it and find things in it is very useful. If you are confused about the docs, take a peek at the code. You will also learn something about python that way.

admin can't update: AttributeError 'parse_file_upload' for a model with no file field
Hi,
I am trying to update a object via admin interface. Nothing fancy, and
it all goes well on my local environment, as it does many times

But in the production site, I get an AttributeError:
'module' object has no attribute 'parse_file_upload'

This happens for every model and every add / edit operation.
The model in example does not have a file or image field. Where does
this 'parse_file_upload' thing come from?
Due to the production environment limitations, the site should run
under a fixed URL, /pws/. This does not cause any problem within the
application, though. Can it be the cause of the admin sites weird
behavior?
Thanks for any comment,
oMat

Re: django documentation
Hello Brian i allready saw those hints on the djangoproject/djangobook homepage and that was the reason i was writing this post. Imagine i am new to django, i read "i have to add those lines to my model and do some stuff on the setting.py file and run syncdb" then everything is ok and i can use get_profile to load the profile . I did that but running get_profile raises exceptions. I took quite a bit to realize that the profile does not get generated automaticly (checked in db table) but you have to create it by yourself. I mean its just one sentense more but it would save many searching on the web. Also take a look on the groups: " Groups Groups are a generic way of categorizing users so you can apply permissions, or some other label, to those users. A user can belong to any number of groups. A user in a group automatically has the permissions granted to that group. For example, if the group Site editors has the permission can_edit_home_page, any user in that group will have that permission. Beyond permissions, groups are a convenient way to categorize users to give them some label, or extended functionality. For example, you could create a group 'Special users', and you could write code that could, say, give them access to a members-only portion of your site, or send them members-only e-mail messages. " Now try to use this infomation. The documentation should point out, that i have to create the groups with the Admin, that i have to add the users in the Admin to those groups. It should also tell me if/how i can add/remove users to group by code? Or creating the groups by running syncdb (probably i have to use some dumpload) What i want to say is that the provided infomation is not realy usefull for someone begining django. I have to read the docs and then start searching on the web to figure out how to use the functionality. Thats what seems insufficient to me. And this are only 2 aspects i wrote down as a example. Now i just ordered 2 Books on Django and one on Python :) Hope they will cover functions more complete.

Re: I18N not working
Woohoo! Looks like I solved it. The error I had made was that inside my locale folders I had named Swedish "sv_se" which wasn't right. I looked into the django/conf/ locale folder and saw that there they referred to Swedish as "sv". So by changing the folder names Django finally found them. Oh, and I can concur that the LocaleMiddleware is not needed to translate per-app. Thank you everyone for your help!

ok then, thanks for the help.
However, I didn't see your response till just now (I sent the initial
question via gmail and expected that it wouldn't automatically add
repsonses to that conversation in gmail, but it seems it doesn't)
Anyways, I spent some time after work today playing around with it and
reading django model documentation and trying to figure it all out,
and the following works
class Committee(models.Model):
year = models.IntegerField()
members = models.ManyToManyField('Member')
class Member(models.Model):
name = models.CharField(max_length=50)
degree = models.CharField(max_length = 50)
desc = models.TextField()
position = models.ManyToManyField('Position')
class Position(models.Model):
year = models.IntegerField()
position_type = models.ForeignKey('PositionType')
class PositionType(models.Model):
title = models.CharField(max_length=50)
desc = models.TextField()
Even with default settings for admin interface :)
Only thing I need now is the "add another" button for the relationship
fields to show up even when there isn't already an instance of the
object in question in the database.
I say this, because, let's say for example the admin page for
committee.
If there is already at least one member in the database, then the
control for the members field will have this nice little green '+'
that allows me to create more members, however if there is no members
already in the database, it isn't there.
(same with foreignKey fields)
for further illustration, screenshots :)
with no objects : http://delfick.test.googlepages.com/noObjects.png
with at least one object : http://delfick.test.googlepages.com/moreThanOne.png
Thankyou

Re: generating a list of click-able links to a detail page
Donn, Daniel,
Thanks for your advice. I combined both your ideas together and now
have a solution to my problem.
It was pretty difficult though; that documentation is a little hard
core. For example, there were references to post_save_redirect
throughout the documentation but no explanation or example of where to
put it. Eventually, I stumbled across an answer on these mailing lists
(the solution I found was to pass the model and post_save_redirect by
putting them both into dict())
I'm really exited about Django and I can already see that it is an
amazingly powerful framework that would make it possible to build
complex applications quickly and efficiently. However, although the
first 4 chapters of the documentation tutorials got me really far,
beyond that point it has felt so far like I reached the end of a path
only to find myself in the thick of a jungle.
I'm enjoying learning though, and really appreciate the help from the
people on this list.
Thanks

Re: Best IDE for Django and python?
I think pydev + eclipse + aptana is the best choice, just configure correctly python PATH in pydev so the autocomplete works fine, debug your code with the extra option runserver 8080 --noreload works fine too, create external tools django commands, improve your pages with aptana, use firefox as your web-browser with addons FIREBUG installed (debug JavaScript, inspect HTML code, net speed). I used to work with Java but Python is relly good. On Tue, 2008-11-25 at 15:27 +0300, Nikolay Panov wrote: > I'm using just gvim + some plugins (help.vim, autocomplpop.vim, > snippetsEmu.vim, ...).

The testing documentation could certainly be improved - not just raw API, but lots of tutorials and cookbook stuff. As soon as I work out where I put my +4 Fountain of Infinite Time, I'll get right on this. In the meantime, if anyone wants to contribute documentation, this is certainly an area where help would be appreciated.

Re: Admin form
Hi Praveen,
You add these lines you can get the admin interface...
Coding:
***
from django.conf.urls.defaults import *
# Uncomment the next two lines to enable the admin:
from django.contrib import admin
admin.autodiscover()
urlpatterns = patterns('',
(r'^admin/(.*)', admin.site.root),
)

That would in fact be even better because it means you don't rely on "os" and on the file system, which is good if you're dealing with AppEngine I suppose. Tim, I couldn't agree more. There is a big lack of practical examples in the documentation. Most of what I learned was from django's test suite itself or from popular third party apps. Eric Holscher recently started a discussion on his blog [1] about this, and I tried to reply to it in my blog [2]. Let's keep the discussion going (I mean, not necessarily in this thread, but on blogs and forums maybe)! It'd be great to improve the doc. It would open the doors of testing to the community and everyone would eventually benefit from it! Russ and Malcolm (if you're still here :) ), I'd love to hear your view on this, as I know testing is very important in your eyes.

Re: Testing dynamic templates

Is there some master index of documentation for "if you want to test X, see Y.py or http://Z for an example of how to do it"? where X is any of a number of Django features such as models, views, templates, middleware, filters, template-tags, forms, database-configurations, custom field-types, etc?

Admin form
Hi All, i am very new bie of Django, i have started work on before 3
days.
I am following DJango book. I am playing with 6 chapter "Using the
admin interface"
In my urls.py file i set the url for admin
from django.conf.urls.defaults import *
urlpatterns = patterns('',
# Example:
# (r'^blog/', include('blog.foo.urls')),
(r"^admin/", include("django.contrib.admin.urls")),
(r"^pro/book/$", "blog.blogapp.views.bookentry"),
)
but when i am running in browser http://127.0.0.1:8000/admin its
giving me error
File "/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/django/core/servers/
basehttp.py", line 277, in run
self.result = application(self.environ, self.start_response)

basehttp.py", line 634, in __call__
return self.application(environ, start_response)

line 197, in _get_urlconf_module
self._urlconf_module = __import__(self.urlconf_name, {}, {}, [''])
ImportError: No module named urls
and when i checked manually in that directory there were no urls.py
file
in usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/django/contrib/admin/
how may i resolve that problem. i followed each and every steps of
Django book
