how to add new message prompt in base template?
Hi, I adopt django-messages as one of my site's application. Does anyone know how to add a new message prompt in base template? I mean how I can get one application's data in base template. Does this make sense? Thanks in advance! -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.

Timer and Caching
My users have a lot of information provided as json by django when they log on my application. Instead of computing this json each time someone logs in, i would like to cache it. I think about having it as a string that I would simply copy to the response object. However, some actions must make update this string as they modify information it contains. But I don't want to update it if a lot of user actions are done in a too little time. Typically, i'd like to have a kind of timer. If another action is done within N seconds, it will cancel the timer and restart it. When the timer timeout, the update of the cached data must be done. Is there a native system providing this kind of feature? Should I code my own timer/thread managing code to do this? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.

Ok, so just replace this line:
feed = urllib.urlopen("http://vimeo.com/api/v2/video/7875440.xml";)
with,
feed =
urllib.urlopen("http://vimeo.com/api/v2/video/%s.xml"; % v.vimeo_code)
This replaces the code in the URL with the current vimeo_code in the loop.
I think we're on the same page; give it a shot and see how it goes.

I'm sure someone will have a more concrete reason for doing it one way
or the other. Personally though, it's a matter of style. I prefer
having it in the view function because then I can see immediately that
extra http calls will be made when looking through my code. If I used
a tag filter, I would have to look at the view function to find the
template, then the template to see if custom tag filters were used,
then the .py files for the tag filters to see what it's doing.
Tag filters are pretty simple things; the Django docs link I gave
should be easy enough. Feel free to post questions if you get stuck
though.

Re: Parsing XML in the template? (New to Django and Python)
Thank you for the response. I don't believe I explained well enough
exactly what I'm trying to do.
I have table Video with a field vimeo_code. Each vimeo_code has its
own XML file. The XML file I used in my views.py is just a random
video I saw on vimeo. I need to replace the vimeo_code so the XML file
I'm parsing looks like http://vimeo.com/api/v2/video/vimeo_code.xml
Would it be a better idea to do this as a tag filter? Any additional
information for me if I do it that way?
Thanks again, I appreciate your help.

Never mind, got it. the forms package merely provides the interior of the ; the markup, plus any submit buttons, are the responsibility of the template (or other code).

You could try something like the modified view above. It loops through
every video, gets the thumbnail URL, creates an object containing the
video model instance and the thumbnail URL, and adds it to the list
videos_context.
You could then access them in your template like this (assuming
there's a name field in your Video model):
{% for v in videos %}
{{ v.video.name }}
{% endfor %}
The alternate way of doing this is to make a tag filter, see

Re: How to create multiple 'submit' buttons using 'forms' package
Ken, You just put the submit buttons in the HTML form as you would normally. The submit button isn't part of a Django Model or Form. It really doesn't make sense there; there's no data there.

Re: New to django, python, etc. - ForeignKey question
The error is occurring here as you have mentioned -
rolestartdate = models.DateField(default = \
Project.objects.get
(pk=project.id).startdate)
You're right that Django creates an attribute named id for every model
without a primary key explicitly specified, but I suspect the issue
here is that Django is trying to resolve 'project.id' before the
Project model has been fully initialized. Also, Django is trying to
resolve project.id for the model class, and not a model instance which
won't work as model classes do not contain data.
I believe 'default' can only be used to specify static values, not
values that depend on other models (there is no defined behaviour for
that, so if it works, it's by chance and might not work later).
To do what you want, I suggest you override the save method in the
model, and add the startdate from the related Project model to the
Role model.
I'm a bit rusty on this, but something like this should work:
def save(self):
if self.project != None:
self.rolestartdate = project.startdate
#don't worry about handling if self.project == None; foreign keys
are required by default and the superclass' save method will raise an
exception
super(Role, self).save()

New to django, python, etc. - ForeignKey question
I am using the code shown below. The part causing the problem is the

As part of that role, I would have an attribute that records the start
and end date of the person's involvement. The problem seems to be

as the startdate of the project to which the role is linked.

I get the following error:

I was under the impression that django creates an attribute on every
model, foo.id, that serves as a primary key.

Parsing XML in the template? (New to Django and Python)
Hello :) I am working on a small video site that allows a user to add
a video to the site by submitting a Vimeo.com or Youtube.com URL. I'm
trying to display thumbnails without hosting them. For Vimeo videos I
need to parse an XML file to find the thumbnail location.
On my homepage I would like to display the 5 newest videos. As of now
I'm displaying every video in the database on the homepage. Each video
will have a different thumbnail and XML file to parse. As of right now
my "main_page" in my views.py file looks like this:
def home_page(request):
template = get_template('home_page.html')
video = Video.objects.all()
feed = urllib.urlopen("http://vimeo.com/api/v2/video/7875440.xml";)
tree = ET.parse(feed)
root = tree.getroot()
vimeo_thumbnail = root.findtext("video/thumbnail_medium")
variables = Context({
'video': video,
'vimeo_thumbnail': vimeo_thumbnail
})
output = template.render(variables)
return HttpResponse(output)
How can I parse a different XML file for every video? Thank you much.
Again, I am new and could be going about this completely wrong and
gladly accept any feedback you have.
Thank you,
Matt

ModelFormSet foreign keys display
Hello List,
I am having problems getting the forms within a modelformset to display
as I wish. I'm using
Django 1.1 with python 2.6.
The model class is:
class Availability(DefaultColumns):
"""Record analyst availability."""
date = django.db.models.ForeignKey(WorkShift)
analyst = django.db.models.ForeignKey(Analyst)
status = django.db.models.ForeignKey(AvailabilityStatus)
(DefaultColumns inherits from django.db.models.Model)
This is the WorkShift model referenced in "date":
class WorkShift(DefaultColumns):
"""A shift as originally generated."""
rota = django.db.models.ForeignKey(WorkRota)
date = django.db.models.DateField()
shift_type = django.db.models.ForeignKey(ShiftType)
def __unicode__(self):
return u'' % (self.date, self.shift_type)
class Meta:
"""Internal class."""
ordering = ['date']
The form used by the formset looks like this:
class AvailabilityForm(django.forms.ModelForm):
"""ModelForm for Availability model."""
status = django.forms.ModelChoiceField(
queryset=rota.models.AvailabilityStatus.objects.all(),
empty_label=None,
widget=django.forms.RadioSelect)
def __init__(self, *args, **kwargs):
django.forms.ModelForm.__init__(self, *args, **kwargs)
self.logger = logging.getLogger('rota.forms.AvailabilityForm')
self.logger.debug('Initialisation complete.')
class Meta:
"""Meta class."""
model = rota.models.Availability
I want the form to display the date as a read-only field, however so far
I
can't make this work. The code here outputs the date as a selectable
ModelChoiceField. If I declare date in the ModelForm class I always end
up
with the id from the WorkShift object rather than the date itself.
Can you advise how I can declare date (or do something else) to make this
work as I'd like?
Many thanks,
Kev

Re: Pydev + Django + Ubuntu 9.10
Turkan, Perhaps this will help. I just have done this (PostGIS/Eclipse/Pydev/Django on Ubuntu 9.10) and it's working great! After having problems because I had installed Postgres 8.4, I found the script below, on the net somewhere. Modify, as appropriate, if you don't need GIS. You may also want this, for full support in pgadmin3: apt-get install postgresql-contrib-8.3 cd /usr/share/postgresql/8.3/contrib psql -U postgres < adminpack.sql Getting Eclipse working took some time, and I learned a lot from this: http://www.socialtext.net/hearplanet/index.cgi?action=display;is_incipient=1;page_name=http%3A%2F%2Fblog.vlku.com%2Findex.php%2F2009%2F06%2F10%2Fdjangoeclipse-with-code-complete-screencast%2F Best, Liam > # Script for installing Django, PostgreSQL, and PostGIS > # Run with sudo > > # Install Django: > apt-get install python-django python-django-doc > > # Install PostgreSQL 8.3 > apt-get install postgresql-8.3 python-psycopg2 pgadmin3 > > # Packages needed by GeoDjango (gdal is optional, but useful) > apt-get install postgresql-8.3-postgis binutils libgdal1-1.5.0 > gdal-bin libgeos-3.1.0 proj libpq-dev > > # Set yourself up as a PostgreSQL superuser > su - postgres > createuser --createdb --superuser `whoami` > > # Create the template spatial database > createdb -E UTF8 template_postgis > createlang -d template_postgis plpgsql # Adding PLPGSQL language support. > > # Allows non-superusers the ability to create from this template > psql -d postgres -c "UPDATE pg_database SET datistemplate='true' WHERE > datname='template_postgis';" > > # Load the PostGIS SQL routines > psql -d template_postgis -f > /usr/share/postgresql-8.3-postgis/lwpostgis.sql > psql -d template_postgis -f > /usr/share/postgresql-8.3-postgis/spatial_ref_sys.sql > > # Enable users to alter spatial tables > psql -d template_postgis -c "GRANT ALL ON geometry_columns TO PUBLIC;" > psql -d template_postgis -c "GRANT ALL ON spatial_ref_sys TO PUBLIC;" > exit turkan wrote: > Hello. > > I know ... this topic was discussed quite often.

Pydev + Django + Ubuntu 9.10
Hello. I know ... this topic was discussed quite often. But all the hints I found don't really help to setup Eclipse/Pydev under Ubuntu 9.10 for Django 1.1 (from the official Ubuntu repositories). I tried to follow this tutorial (http://solyaris.wordpress.com/ 2007/05/16/how-to-djangopydev-on-feisty/), but /usr/share/python- support/python-django/ is not present anymore under Ubuntu 9.10. So I tried to add /usr/shared/pyshared/django, usr/share/python- support/, /usr/lib/python/django to the PYTHONPATH, but without any success. My projects still come up with many "undefined variable" errors. For example an error is presented for User.add_to_class. add_to_class (add_to_class is unkown), even if User seems to be known. I read that it is difficult for the IDE to recognize all variables, cause of the way some of those are generated on the fly (I am also new to Python). But is it possible to get error free projects with Django + Pydev? Why does Aptana for example does provide such a good Ruby support? Does Python/Django provide more dynamic stuff than Ruby?

Re: DRY up your Django templates with Showell Markup
I wrote this rather quickly. It allows you to put a template.showell
file in each app folder, and will render the templates on demand if
you call "render_showell_to_response(...)". It'll check the last
modification time of the .showell files, and re-renders them if
they've changed, allowing you to come close to ignoring any running of
the Showell pre-processor on your own.
===
import os, sys
import showell
from django.conf import settings
from django.utils.importlib import import_module
from django.shortcuts import render_to_response
from datetime import datetime
_SHOWELL_FILES_ = []
def render_showell_to_response(template, *args, **kwargs):
'''
Monitor any templates.showell file in an app folder
for changes, and republish them if necessary before
serving up the request
'''
# Get a list of app showell files
# Runs only once
if len(_SHOWELL_FILES_) == 0:
for app in settings.INSTALLED_APPS:
m = import_module(app)
for path in m.__path__:
sfile = os.path.join(path, 'templates.showell')
if os.path.exists(sfile):
_SHOWELL_FILES_.append(sfile)
# Check the date of each showell file
for sfile in _SHOWELL_FILES_:
if not hasattr(settings, '_SHOWELL_LAST_RENDERED_') or \
datetime.fromtimestamp(os.path.getmtime(sfile)) >
settings._SHOWELL_LAST_RENDERED_:
#print 'Republishing %s' % sfile
showell.publish(sfile)
# Set the last time we looked
settings._SHOWELL_LAST_RENDERED_ = datetime.now()
# Render normal template
return render_to_response(template, *args, **kwargs)

[ANN] obviews: object oriented views
Hi all, My first post to share an habit of mine that you might find useful: it deals with views and wraps them into objects. I have replaced the functions with objects for a while now, found it very handy and add pieces of code here and there in my little home- land, but never shared it. Which might be common, but still not really grateful. So I am refactoring all bit by bit and making some releases when I feel its readable. The starting point if you are interested could be on www.obviews.com, a demo web-site that will replace any long speech. Do not hesitate posting some feedback, Manu -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.

I like to think of an app is to Django as a Class is to Python. That it is an encapsulation of code including attributes (models) and methods (views) that provide some sort of defined value when combined with other Classes (apps) to make a project. -Preston > > Regards, > Wayne -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.
