If somebody isn't interested in helping you, they won't reply to the original mail, not spend a few thousand words and four responses trying to help work out what is going on and untold hours trying to repeat the problem. If you don't like using Django, that's fine, but having followed this thread, I can say that you are leaping to some fairly large and unjustified conclusions and being very unfair to Karen and Ramiros' efforts.

Sorry if I have come across as a bit short with you. Feeling a bit under pressure at the moment with a report I have to do for work. I'll try and explain things in a bit better detail for you. Hopefully it will help with understanding Django documentation, which in my opinion is not too clear in some areas in relation to mod_python setup. :-) The whole point of virtual hosts as supported by the 'Host' header in HTTP/1.1 requests, is that it is possible to support multiple named hosts on a single IP address/port. Thus it is sufficient to have a single Listen directive for just port 80. As you already had, you do also need to define the NameVirtualHost directive appropriately to enable virtual host resolution on that port. The wildcard, ie., '*' means that this virtual host resolution will occur no matter what IP address was used. So the directives: Listen 80 NameVirtualHost *:80 would be fine. The next thing is to define a VirtualHost container for each virtual host. Since as explained above, the whole point of virtual hosts is support more than one site on an IP at same port, you didn't actually need a separate IP for each site. The only time you might really need multiple IPs on same box for web hosting is if you wanted to use the box to host a different site, but have it be hosted using a different web server instance. For example, people often use nginx or lighttpd to host static media files. If not on a different box and want everything to appear at port 80, you need multiple IPs. Each web server would then only listen on IP address for that server. That is rather than '80', would listen on 'A.B.C.D:80'. Anyway, ignoring multiple IPs and assuming only one, the VirtualHost containers would then be: ServerName kennethdavid.net DocumentRoot /home/kdwadmin ... ServerName carclubhub.com DocumentRoot /home/kdwadmin2 ... That sets up the virtual hosts, but not Django itself. For Django, since you want to mount Django at root of the virtual host, ignoring issues of where Django code is located for now, configuration would be: ServerName kennethdavid.net DocumentRoot /home/kdwadmin SetHandler python-program PythonHandler django.core.handlers.modpython SetEnv DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE mysite.settings PythonDebug On PythonPath "['/home/kwadmin', '/home/kwadmin/mysite] + sys.path" SetHandler None SetHandler None Note that no 'django.root' option is required for Django 1.0 if mounted at '/'. That option is not relevant to older versions of Django. Note that both parent of Django directory and the Django directory are listed to reduce chances of problems if you didn't list 'mysite' in module references in urls.py or elsewhere. The above assumes that the static file directories are under DocumentRoot, thus: /home/kwadmin/styles /home/kwadmin/images These should be physical copies of the directory/files and not a symlink if Apache not configured for allowing following of symlinks under directory associated with DocumentRoot. The other site would be similar: ServerName carclubhub.com DocumentRoot /home/kdwadmin2 SetHandler python-program PythonHandler django.core.handlers.modpython SetEnv DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE mysite.settings PythonDebug On PythonPath "['/home/kwadmin2', '/home/kwadmin2/mysite] + sys.path" SetHandler None SetHandler None Only other thing to add is that because Apache r

It failed after it imported your settings file the first time, so I

it looks like it's just failing to recognize it as a Python package.
Any chance you got rid of __init__.py (empty file in the mysite

But, perhaps I am misinterpreting your tone, and I do in fact like to help fix Django bugs, which this seems to be, so I'll just say: Django is not "my product". None of the $0.00 you paid for Django found its way into my pocket. I'm a contributor, one among many. That doesn't make Django "mine". Nor does one bug remove Django from the class of software that "works". There would be precious little software you could call "working" if that was the case. > I tried to use Django 0.92 when it was the latest > version and inspectdb fell over.

Community members contribute according to their own interests, abilities, and availability. You've apparently hit a bug, due it seems to your database having characteristics not considered by whoever wrote inspectdb. That's unfortunate. You've reported it -- thanks for that. Please realize, though, that in an all-volunteer community getting an obscure bug that you happen to care about fixed may require more from you than simply reporting the problem, posting a fix that happened to work for your specific case, and threatening that failure to fix the bug will scare away untold numbers of new users. > > Yes, my fix was fragile.

So developing a more robust fix is not going to be high on my priority list. Since you can recreate it, it might be good for Django and helpful to the next person who happens to start out with a similarly configured DB if you chose to make the effort to develop and post a more robust fix, but that's entirely up to you.

I'm fairly new myself rv, so I doubt I can help you much. But, if I
were in your shoes right now, I'd delete the folder you created and
start the tutorial over. It couldn't hurt you too much to review what
you've done and it shouldn't take too long to do it a second time
anyway.

It is unclear here whether you are talking about static files, eg. images and stylesheets, or Django code. You should never stick Django directory containing code inside of a Apache DocumentRoot directory for a host.

Ie., does '/' work, does '/ images/...someimage.jpg' work, does some sub URL for part of your application work? In other words, is the thing that doesn't work static resources or dynamic resources? When you say you get nothing, what do you mean by that, do you get a blank page, or simply not what you expect? If any don't work, is the error response a generic Apache error page or a Django specific error page? Have you looked in the Apache error logs to see if there are any Python error messages in there, or even an indication that the Apache process has crashed with a segmentation fault? Have you got DEBUG set to True for Django so that if Django is generating the error that the error details are returned in the web page? Right now I can only guess at a few things. The first is django.root as I mentioned, if you are indeed mounting Django at root of site. The second is PythonPath doesn't also include Django instance directory in addition to its parent. This latter will be an issue if in any part of your code or urls.py file references stuff within the project without explicitly referencing the site name. To make any further guess you need to expand on the vague information you have already provided as what constitutes don't work and what exactly you were expecting to see. BTW, it is presumed you properly restarted Apache between making configuration changes.

Re: python.conf question, multiple sites on same server?
there is currently only one virtual host set up, for the site i'm working on. I do not need anything to happen with the other url. my django files are in a folder at the same level as the root folder of the site. i simply need a virtual host for www.website.net that sits at /home/ site1/ on my server that has a django directory at /home/site1/mysite to work. the django files themselves at /mysite work just fine, and were working before i attempted to set up the virtual host. and www.website.net was working just fine as well with the way the 's are currently set up, before the virtual host stuff was added. i figure i'm missing something before the first that is causing the issue of the directory for the django apps not to be read. I do not want to set them up in the public_html directory as that is the main site directory, which if per chance i need to give someone access to that... i don't want them in the django directories at all. the server itself is a virtual server from godaddy running red hat 7 w/ apache and mod_python. I was looking at a few pages and they mention DocumentRoot... should this be to /home/site1 or to the project files? how does PythonInterpreter need to be applied?

"Unsupported format character" always means you've forgotten to put
something after the '%' sign (in this case, Python is saying that it is
seeing '/' instead of a valid character). So look at your '%' character
and notice that you are missing, for example, a following 's' ("%s/...",
not "%/...").

Re: python.conf question, multiple sites on same server?
i currently only have two sites, one is not being developed at this time.. but w/o the virtual host that site displays the same apps and info at it's url as the site i am working on, which i do not want to happen. what i have copied for my virtual host is really everything i have. As i said, i have not been able to find much documentation on this so i've been unable to mess around with it myself beyond this point (as this is really only what the djangoproject site shows) each site sits like so... /home/(username)/ username being the base directory... so say /home/site1/ and /home/site2/ both have a /public_html/ directory in them which the server reads as the base level for the site. but with the locations set up in python.conf /mysite/, which is at the same level as public_html in the site1 directory is being used for the apps. location '/' results in being able to target the apps via the first slash in the url after the site name, which is the desired result. however now, i get the apache works page at "www.website.net" and page not founds on anything else that worked previously to attempting to set up the virtual host On Jan 3, 8:50 pm, Graham Dumpleton wrote: > BTW, with mod_python, if trying to host multiple Django sites inside > of same VirtualHost, you must set PythonInterpreter directive > differently for each. > > You really need to provide a more complete example showing all the > sites and how they site with respect to each other and the VirtualHost > in the configuration. > > Graham > > On Jan 4, 12:47 pm, Graham Dumpleton > wrote: > > > On Jan 4, 12:17 pm, garagefan wrote: > > > > I've read the documentation, and it doesn't seem clear enough, or > > > provide a fully working example? > > > > i've copied what i have in my python.conf file, keep in mind that i > > > have removed site specific names and have made them generic > > > > NameVirtualHost *:80 > > > > > > > ServerNamewww.website.net > > > > > > > Presumably you mean /mysite here and not the root of the web server. > > This needs to match what you have set django.root to. > > > Graham > > > > SetHandler python-program > > > PythonHandler django.core.handlers.modpython > > > SetEnv DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE mysite.settings > > > PythonOption django.root /mysite > > > PythonDebug On > > > PythonPath "['/home/html'] + sys.path" > > > > > > > > > SetHandler None > > > > > > > > > SetHandler None > > > > > > > > > > i get no python errors, however when i go to the site i receive > > > nothing. these locations worked previous to attempting to set up a > > > virtual host. i assume *:80 is the port? in which case, i suppose it > > > may be possible that the port is incorrect? in which case, i'm unsure > > > as to where to check this... i assume under the apache conf file? --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.

no, as then i would need to use, for example... www.website.net/mysite/* instead of www.website.net/* for the various apps. as i said the locations worked perfectly before attempting to create the virtual host. right now i need to have this virtual host point to the correct website on my server. would i change server name to be an ip address? as each website on my server has a unique address, while having the same port? since 80 is the open port for apache On Jan 3, 8:47 pm, Graham Dumpleton wrote: > On Jan 4, 12:17 pm, garagefan wrote: > > > I've read the documentation, and it doesn't seem clear enough, or > > provide a fully working example? > > > i've copied what i have in my python.conf file, keep in mind that i > > have removed site specific names and have made them generic > > > NameVirtualHost *:80 > > > > > ServerNamewww.website.net > > > > > Presumably you mean /mysite here and not the root of the web server. > This needs to match what you have set django.root to. > > Graham > > > SetHandler python-program > > PythonHandler django.core.handlers.modpython > > SetEnv DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE mysite.settings > > PythonOption django.root /mysite > > PythonDebug On > > PythonPath "['/home/html'] + sys.path" > > > > > > SetHandler None > > > > > > SetHandler None > > > > > > > i get no python errors, however when i go to the site i receive > > nothing. these locations worked previous to attempting to set up a > > virtual host. i assume *:80 is the port? in which case, i suppose it > > may be possible that the port is incorrect? in which case, i'm unsure > > as to where to check this... i assume under the apache conf file? --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.

Re: python.conf question, multiple sites on same server?
BTW, with mod_python, if trying to host multiple Django sites inside of same VirtualHost, you must set PythonInterpreter directive differently for each. You really need to provide a more complete example showing all the sites and how they site with respect to each other and the VirtualHost in the configuration.

Well, I got all my templates to work. Could someone tell me if it was
just me missing something or if there are mistakes in that book in
regards to tagging? I've been following along with the Hedged Down
website and they have said nothing about that. But in the
link_detail.html template in the book it says this:
{% if object.tags.count %}
This link is tagged with
{% for tag in object.categories.all %}
{{ tag.title }}
{% if forloop.last %}{% else %}
{% ifequal forloop.revcounter0 1 %}and {% else
%}, {% endifequal %}
{% endif %}
{% endfor %}
{% else %}
This link doesn't have any tags.
Now when I used this none of the tags would show up on the pages. I
always got "This link doesn't have any tags".
Then it hit me that the Link model doesn't have a category field. So
the "for tag in object.categories.all" code wouldn't work.
But, ultimately, what I had to do was load tagging_tags into the
template and use the template tags that are related to the django-
tagging application. So, the code for having the template distinguish
between a link and an entry tag went like this:
{% load tagging_tags %}
{% for item in object_list %}
{% tagged_objects item in coltrane.Entry as goods %}
{% if goods %}
{{ item.name }}
{% else %}
{{ item.name }}
{% endif %}
{% endfor %}
I also had to load tagging_tags into the link_detail.html and work
with those tags to get the tags to show up for that page.
But at this point, I no longer need any help, but I sure would like to
know why nobody else mentioned this when blogging about this book.
And if there was an easier way to do this then the way I chose.

If the reference to "comma insertion" is for commas as 1000s

def floatcomma(value):
"""
Converts a float to a string containing commas every three digits.
For example, 3000.65 becomes '3,000.65' and -45000.00 becomes

intpart, dec = orig.split(".")
intpart = intcomma(intpart)
return ".".join([intpart, dec])

This is specifically for currency output on invoices.

Comments Framework and Authentication
Hi all -
I am having a bit of difficulty with the Django comments framework -
more specifically, dealing with comment modifications by site users as
well as moderators.
Basically, I have a site in which users can post comments (using the
out-of-the-box commenting framework). I'd like to have a flexible
comment deletion environment in which comments could be deleted by the
user associated with the model attached to the comment or the original
poster of the comment - e.g., for a blog posting, I'd like the blog
writer to be able to delete inappropriate or offensive comments, but
I'd also like the commenter to be able to delete a comment they made
if they had second thoughts about it.
The commenting framework supports basic permissions for a user to
moderate comments via the "perms.comment.can_delete" value. However, I
obviously don't want to grant this permission to every user; this
would mean a malicious user could just delete comments at will whether
they belonged to them or not. I believe it's possible to do all the
logic to find out if a user is allowed to delete a comment in a custom
view and then forward the request to the official deletion view - but
then I still run into the check if the user is authorized to delete
comments or not. I am really loath to change the core commenting code
itself. Is there a better way to do it?
Here's a quickly hacked together template that kind of shows what I'm
trying to do (along with all my debugging junk):
{% if perms.comment.can_delete %}
You can delete comments.
{% else %}
You cannot delete comments.
{% endif %}
{% ifequal comment.user_id user_profile_id %}
...display a button to delete...
{% endifequal %}
{% if my_page %}
...display a button to delete...
{% endif %}

Flat-file Field
I am trying to figure out how to create a model field that doesn't pull from the database but instead pulls from the file system, shows it in the forms as a Textarea, then just saves it back to file system when the model is saved. In my mind it seems pretty simple. I have read the custom models page in the documentation but keep running around in circles. I can think of two ways to do it. Write a custom object that handles it or somehow extend the FileField. It seems that the FileField option would be the better of the two options. I can get the form to show a textarea but have no idea what I need to override to get the value of the textarea to be populated with the contents of a file and then have that pulled from the form to be put back into a file.

Re: getting "duplicate key violates unique constraint" error from form even with "unique_together" in model
Thanks Karen, that fixes the problem in the django admin. At least now I know that everything is ok on the database and model fronts. However, in my own form it is still not validating this relationship. Here is what I have right now: in a forms.py file there is a base form for the Case model: -- class CaseFormBase(forms.Form): office = forms.ModelChoiceField(widget=forms.HiddenInput, queryset=Office.objects.all()) case_no= forms.CharField(max_length=20, label="Case No.") ... class Meta: model=Case -- This base form is used for other forms which need to dynamically build their option lists. This is the form for adding a new case (in a file called 'cases.py'): -- from app.forms import CaseFormBase class NewCaseForm(CaseFormBase): county = forms.ModelChoiceField(queryset=County.objects.filter (activecounties__office=office, activecounties__active=True )) ... # form is validated and processed here: if request.method=='POST': f = NewCaseForm(request.POST) if f.is_valid(): new_case = (...) new_case.save() -- Since this does not seem to be working, for now I've gone back to my clean method which manually checks for duplicates. I'd rather do it the 'right' way by using 'unique_together' but it doesn't seem to be cooperating with my setup. --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.

I've just took 15 seconds and followed the same process creating a test user and I can login perfectly to the code.djangoproject.com site. Something slightly weird: after activating the account, I followed the link to login for the first time, once I entered the user name and password I got redirected to the djangoproject.com site and going back to code.djangoproject still didn't show me as logged in.

Re: I would like to report a bug but I can't log in
I'm using MySQL 5.0.51a on Ubuntu Hardy Heron. As you say, this is a somewhat obscure bug. I guess the question is, do you want your product to work or not? You've acknowledged it's a valid problem. I tried to use Django 0.92 when it was the latest version and inspectdb fell over. I can't remember whether it was the same problem. Anyway, at the time I just lost interest and ignored Django for a year. So I'd gone to the trouble of installing the product, I'd bought and read the book, and when I went to use it it fell over on the very first thing I tried to do. That's a pretty good way to stop users from getting very far with your product. But hey, you develop your product how you like. Yes, my fix was fragile. I didn't have the inclination to spend a lot of time fixing a product which until then had done nothing for me. I presume there are people who know a whole lot more about the code than I do who can maybe even log into the website. mysql> select column_name, referenced_table_name, referenced_column_name from information_schema.key_column_usage where table_name = 'expansions' and table_schema = DATABASE() and referenced_table_name is not null and referenced_column_name is not null; +-+---++ | column_name | referenced_table_name | referenced_column_name | +-+---++ | basegame| games | BGGID | | expansion | games | BGGID | +-+---++ 2 rows in set (0.14 sec) --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.

Re: How to populate a form field with a Select widget
Following on from this example, I am trying to use values from a table
to populate a choicefield (and been at it for 2 days trying every
method I can find in google)
Clearly from the output below, I am creating the wrong kind of data
type, but don't know how to change it:
THIS VERSION WORKS:
>>> CHOICES = ( ('P', 'Pending'), ('A', 'Active'), ('D', 'Done'))
>>> print CHOICES
(('P', 'Pending'), ('A', 'Active'), ('D', 'Done'))
>>> fuel_type = forms.ChoiceField(choices=CHOICES,widget=forms.Select ())
>>> print fuel_type.choices
[('P', 'Pending'), ('A', 'Active'), ('D', 'Done')]
>>>
THIS VERSION DOES NOT:
(fails with Caught an exception while rendering: need more than 1
value to unpack)
>>> CHOICES = Car.objects.all().values('fuel_type','fuel_type').distinct()
>>> print CHOICES
[{'fuel_type': u'Petrol'}, {'fuel_type': u'Diesel'}]
>>> fuel_type = forms.ChoiceField(choices=CHOICES,widget=forms.Select ())
>>> print fuel_type.choices
[{'fuel_type': u'Petrol'}, {'fuel_type': u'Diesel'}]
Any help as to the best way of doing this would be great - I also need
to add 'Any Fuel' as the first option as this is for a search form.

RELEASED: django-batchimport 0.1
Greetings All, I've just finished the 0.1 version of django-batchimport and have released it on code.google.com. Go to http://code.google.com/p/django-batchimport/ for more information (and SVN checkout). This application can be added to any django project to give it batch import capability via uploaded Microsoft Excel file (or other formats saved as XLS). This allows for someone with a spreadsheet of, say, users to easily upload it and add it all at once. While batch importing in django is easy to do via fixtures, this reusable app is aimed at being for non-developer end users of your web application. The process by which this app does it's work is completely dynamic, inspecting both the spreadsheet and the django models dynamically at runtime. No prior knowledge of either the model into which the user is importing or the spreadsheet uploaded is required. The only prerequisite is John Machin's xlrd library (http:// www.lexicon.net/sjmachin/xlrd.htm), python 2.5+, and django 1.0+. See the website for full details and please drop me a note on the django-batchimport-users group if you have questions or comments. Thank you.

Custom SQL not installed while running test suite
I have an app that provides some custom SQL statements for populating the
test database (located in /particles/sql/particle.sql). The app's database
table (particles_particle) is populated correctly when I run the test case
for the app (i.e. python manage.py test particles) but the database table is
not populated when I run the entire test suite (i.e. python manage.py test).
The testing output seems to indicate that the custom SQL was loaded
('Installing custom SQL for particles.Particle model') but no records appear
in the database and a test that verifies the number of expected records
fails.
The testing output is included below.
Any ideas on why the custom SQL records are not appearing?

Form Media
Hello,
I am trying incorporate Form Media in my forms and I'm having some
trouble interpreting how this is done via,
http://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/topics/forms/media/
My goal is to use the admin/media/css/form.css in my template.
Here is my form:
class ApprovalForm(ModelForm):
class Meta:
model = Approval
fields = ('approval_type','approved','url','comment')
class Media:
css = {
'all': ('layout.css','form.css',)
}
I send my form to my template and try to reference,
form.media but I dont have any values.
In my template I do this just to test.
Form Media: {{ form.media }}
I get no output...
I did a test in the shell and iform.media gets assigned correctly.
any help on where I'm going wrong is appreciated!

No, if any of the fields involved in unique_together are not present in
cleaned_data during form validation (the editable=False one is not) then the
check cannot be performed. county/case_no may be a dupe but without a value
to check for office the form validation cannot determine if the three
together are going to be unique.

I don't understand this. When I try your model code and only specify these
two in unique_together I get a form-level validation ('Case with this County
and Case no already exists.') error trying to specify a duplicate
county/case_no.

ipdb causing problems with docstring tests of default apps
I have noticed that running unit tests for my own apps can interfere with the testing of some of the django internal apps (auth, sessions, sites, etc.). I have been using ipdb to debug and to help write views and tests, and it appears that importing the ipdb module (import ipdb) causes many of the docstring tests of the default apps to fail. Anyone know why this happens? I would like to continue to use ipdb (it is quite useful), but I also would like to be able to include the docstring tests for the default apps in my testing suite. - Tyler -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/ipdb-causing-problems-with-docstring-tests-of-default-apps-tp21266209p21266209.html Sent from the django-users mailing list archive at Nabble.com. --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.

custom field value representation
Hi, Suppose I have the following model: class Document(BaseModel): name = models.CharField(max_length=150,blank=True) description = models.TextField(blank=True) file = Models.FileField(upload_to="data/documentation/document/%Y/%m/%d",blank=True) And suppose I've a model I created through the admin interface and uploaded a file named "document1.pdf" Then, when modifying this database entry (in admin->change_form) I see the previous value as data/documentation/document/2009/01/03/document1.pdf" Is there any way to get this value shown as just "document1.pdf" without the relative path?.. What i want, is to hide to the end user the filesystem location of the uploaded file. I've accomplished this in the change_list by defining a custom method on the model that returns just the file name.

However, I cannot navigate to the other static page by means of the (href) link on the first page (or the other way around). The relevant part of the xHMTL file for my question looks like this: General Access Process Visualize I looked into auto-escaping, that didn't solve it. So, i'm a bit lost atm Who can help me out? :) --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.

Re: Migrating MySQL -> Postgre, any working solutions?
Not the most exciting, but you could always use the orm to pull data out of the old db and thenswl to put it into the new one(or vice versa).

Re: is it possible to provide initial data for a model with a foreign key to User model?

Yes, it is possible. If you have a model something like:
class Person(Model):
user = ForeignKey(User)
name = CharField(...)
this will serialize something like:
{
"model": "myapp.person',
"pk": 1,
"fields": {
"user": 3,
"name": "Fred"
}
}
The reference to a user is just the primary key of the object you want
to refer to. If you want a more comprehensive example using your own
models, try creating some instances using the Python API, then use the
manage.py dumpdata command to produce sample fixtures.
Generally speaking, you don't need to worry about the order of
initialization. In your fixture, you can define the Person then the
User, or the User and then the Person - it doesn't matter.
If you're using SQLite or MySQL with MyISAM tables, there is no
referential integrity to worry about, so you can create a Person that
refers to a User that doesn't exist yet. As long as you eventually
create the User, you won't have any problems.
If you're using Postgres, all the fixtures are loaded in a
transaction, and referential integrity isn't checked until the end of
the transaction. As long as the Person and the User are both loaded at
the end of fixture loading, the order in which they are created
doesn't matter.
The only exception to this rule is MySQL with InnoDB tables - which,
because of its retarted referential integrity, insists on checking
references at the end of every commit, rather than at the end of the
transactional block. This means that you have to manually check that
the fixture with an ordering such that the User is loaded before the
Person.
Until MySQL fixes its referential integrity rules for InnoDB, this
limitation can't be avoided in the general case. Any form of circular
reference between models will always pose difficulties - there is no
way to provide an ordering that is guaranteed to load successfully.

Re: Tutorial Problem
I just started using Django as well
Are you sure you have not made any changes to your settings file?
Only a guess!

Re: swapping out request.user in views
I agree that hacking request.user is a bad idea here. Write a function for your view that returns data for a given user ID, then call it with the owner or visitor's ID. I would also have two separate views unless what the users are doing is very similar.
