Need a tip on how to architect this code to be more extensible

[Sontek]

I wrote this open source project that allows you to use the django
admin pop-ups in your own views but I want to give it the ability to
have the view extended so they can pass excludes and instances to the
form before its display... currently the code looks like this:

from django.contrib.auth.decorators import login_required
from django.shortcuts import render_to_response
from django.template import RequestContext
from django.http import HttpResponse
from django.utils.html import escape
from tekextensions.forms import get_model_form, normalize_model_name

def add_new_model(request, model_name, form=None):
normal_model_name = normalize_model_name(model_name)

if not form:
form = get_model_form(normal_model_name)

if request.method == 'POST':
form = form(request.POST)
if form.is_valid():
try:
new_obj = form.save()
except forms.ValidationError, error:
new_obj = None

if new_obj:
return HttpResponse('opener.dismissAddAnotherPopup(window, "%s", "%s");' % \
(escape(new_obj._get_pk_val()), escape(new_obj)))

else:
form = form()

page_context = {'form': form, 'field': normal_model_name}
return render_to_response('popup.html', page_context,
context_instance=RequestContext(request))

So I'd still like to allow them to get the automatic adding of the
javascript httpresponse and autocreation of the form using the
model_form_factory but would allow them to get the form and pass
instance=...  and exclude = ('whatever', )so that they can
customize/tweak the generated form

Some OpenSource Work?

[Venkatraman S]

Hi Guys,

So, i stumbled on http://cargocollective.com/ and was quiet impressed with
it. Would someone(with expertise in CSS/Javascript)
be interested in working with me and do an open source equivalent for this?
A light weight CMS which offers the basic
features (like video,images,text) and the ease of modifying the
design/layout; a CMS that can be easily be deployed,
maintained and upgraded without much hassles.

I can take up the django(db design et al) part of the work, but need someone
who is really a pro in the UI side of things, as i
quiet suck on those front.

The conditional logic in View or Template depends on what you want to
show/not-show in the template -- if its just a small section that you want
to conditionally show, then prefer the auth check in the template, else move
it to the view.

It seems like a perfectly sensible plan to me. You will probably find
that you can define a hierarchy of templates, with the basic look and
feel provided by the top-level templates.

Sub-templates aren't always necessary.

Re: populating model values into form

[Michael Sprayberry]

You will need to make an admin.py and follow these directions

class FormAdmin(admin.ModelAdmin):
prepopulated_fields = {"slug": ("title",)}
slug can be what ever field you want to populate and title is where you are
populating from, as far as I know you can only populate from within the same
area.


then you need to register form and formadmin

admin.site.register(form, formadmin)

Re: If logged in show X, if not Y

[Andre Terra]

I think a more elegant approach would be to have a main template with {%
block some_name_for_the_part_that_changes %}, and have two different
template (logged_in.html and not_logged_in.html) that both extend said block
in 'main.html'.

Then, as Xavier suggested, move the "if user is authenticated" part to the
view:

if is authenticated:
  render logged_in.html
else:
  render not_logged_in.html

Andre Terra

Re: If logged in show X, if not Y

[robos85]

Hi,
I've read about {% if user.is_authenticated %} and m template is going
to have the same structure, but some block will have different content
for logged users. Additionally there will by some more buttons.
I wondered if there's some other way to divide it.
By no I have that plan:
define 1 mainframe template. In it I'll include some sub-templates. In
that sub-templates I'll make {% if user.is_authenticated %} and
include the destination template or do the stuff.

Is this plan ok?

Re: MySQLdb

[Xavier Ordoquy]

Hi,

You should contact your system administrator if you don't have any 
login/password. If you installed mysql by yourself, read your distribution 
guides or the installation guide. There's no universal settings for this and it 
will depends on what/where/how you installed it.
As for importing databases, assuming you have a sql dump, it's as easy as mysql 
mydatabase < myfile

Xavier.

Re: If logged in show X, if not Y

[Xavier Ordoquy]

Hi,

You may want to look at the authentication contrib application that comes with 
Django.
Esp here: http://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.2/topics/auth/#id7

Another solution if you intend to have totally different templates would be to 
check within the view the user state and render a different template.

Xavier.

RE: Django book

[Sells, Fred]

Check amazon.com
I like the definitive guide to Django, but it's pretty much what you
find online.  Pro Django was not very useful to me.  There are others
now listed and I just ordered 2 of them, based on reader's comments.

I'm using django with flex, so I don't get into the template stuff much
FWIW.

* I'd prefer printed books.

Re: Key 'buscar' not found in "

[bvcelari]

Fixed on the worst way
adding each parameter on "my_url" var, and write it again on the
template, really ugly, but is not nice at all.
like this behind each filter:
  my_url += '=' + mi_form.cleaned_data['option1']


Thanks!

You can either create a custom widget and
ModelAdmin.formfield_overrides [1] or (if you need to customize the
data processing as well as the display, create a custom form and use
ModelAdmin.form [2].

Re: Django on a hosting service

I saw this, too, but worried that it would still require apache to have
mod_fastcgi installed.  Otherwise, how would apache know what to do with

   AddHandler fastcgi-script .fcgi

in the .htaccess file?  If it is indeed possible to do this, I would be
interested in hearing from someone who has done it.  How did you do the
local install of Django?  And how did you set up the paths and site
settings?

Yes, that was the Plan B that I have been looking into.  I'm pleased to
see that it coincides with your recommendation :-).

View getting called twice for each GET

[Roy Smith]

I've been playing around with django, building a toy app just to get
the feel of it.  I've been going nuts trying to figure out why my
index method has been getting called in all sort of places I didn't
expect.  I finally figured it out and thought I would share this with
the group (hopefully to prevent other django newbies from making the
same mistake).

I had a catch-all url defined:

urlpatterns = patterns('',
(r'^db/query/mn_id/', 'db.views.query_nm_id'),
(r'^db', 'db.views.index'),
(r'', 'db.views.index'),
)

I was seeing index() being called twice when I did a GET on "/db", and
if I did a GET on "/db/query/mn_id", I'd see query_mn_id() get called,
followed by a call to index().  It turns out the second GET in both
cases was my browser (Chrome on OSX) asking for "/favicon"!  Duh.

The clue that set me on the right path was that if I reloaded the page
with the "Reload this page" button, I got the behavior described
above, but if I navigated my history with the back and forward arrows,
I didn't get the extra call to index().I little sleuthing with
tcpdump showed what was going on, and logging request.get_full_path()
in each view method verified this.

What's really weird is that the /favicon GET isn't logged by
development server (python manage.py runserver).  For example,
runserver prints just:

[28/Nov/2010 09:36:57] "GET /db/query/ HTTP/1.1" 200 5

but I see in my application log:

DEBUG:root:/db/query/
DEBUG:root:/favicon.ico

Why don't both requests get printed?

Splitting date and time from Models

[beginner]

Hi all,

Suppose I have this model:
class Job(models.Model):
job_id = models.AutoField(primary_key=True)
job_title = models.CharField(max_length=50, verbose_name =
"Title")
job_desc = models.CharField(max_length=500, verbose_name =
"Description")
active_datetime_fr = models.DateTimeField('time')
active_datetime_to = models.DateTimeField('time')

def editDatefr(self):
return self.active_datetime_fr.date().strftime(DATE_FORMAT)

def editDateto(self):
return self.active_datetime_to.date().strftime(DATE_FORMAT)

def editTimefr(self):
return self.active_datetime_fr.time().strftime(TIME_FORMAT)

def editTimeto(self):
return self.active_datetime_to.time().strftime(TIME_FORMAT)

how do I split active_datetime_fr wherein I need to have an input of
separate date and time
example:
   Active Date From:
  Date:   Time:

Thanks in advance,
Cheers

Add Content from a Custom View to the Django Admin Change Form

[jough]

I'd like to add a derived field to a default ModelAdmin.fieldsets like
I would by specifying a method and adding it to the
ModelAdmin.list_display property, but there doesn't seem to be an easy
way to do that (if there is ANY way to do that).

The default Django Admin list view seems to have a lot more options
than the change form view does.

Let's say I have two fields for a location: latitude and longitude,
and instead of displaying them on a change form I want to display a
Google Maps Static Map image instead - I already have a method that
will return the src url for the image - I just need a way to add that
image to the model change form instead of showing those two fields.

The documentation says you can add custom views to the admin forms,
but provides no guidance or examples, and I really just want to add a
derived field to a single model, not every instance of the change form
view.

Splitting date and time from Models

[djangobeginner]

Hi,
suppose I have the models.py:

SHORT_DATE_FORMAT = "%d - %b - %y"
DATE_FORMAT= "%Y-%m-%d"
TIME_FORMAT= "%H:%M"

class Job(models.Model):
job_id = models.AutoField(primary_key=True)
job_title = models.CharField(max_length=50, verbose_name =
"Title")
job_desc = models.CharField(max_length=500, verbose_name =
"Description")
active_datetime_fr = models.DateTimeField()
active_datetime_to = models.DateTimeField()

def __unicode__(self):
return (self.job_title)
def From(self):
return 
self.active_datetime_fr.date().strftime(SHORT_DATE_FORMAT)
def To(self):
return
self.active_datetime_to.date().strftime(SHORT_DATE_FORMAT)
def editDatefr(self):
return self.active_datetime_fr.date().strftime(DATE_FORMAT)
def editDateto(self):
return self.active_datetime_to.date().strftime(DATE_FORMAT)
def editTimefr(self):
return self.active_datetime_fr.time().strftime(TIME_FORMAT)
def editTimeto(self):
return self.active_datetime_to.time().strftime(TIME_FORMAT)

how do I spit the active_datetime_fr model field into two possible
inputs, example:
Active Date From:
   Date: (Date Input) Time: (Time Input)

Thanks in advance

Recommended Django development companies

[Kyle]

I'm looking for companies on-par with PivitolLabs (which is Rails
focused) but that focus on python web stacks, particularly Django.
Can anybody offer recommendations?  I'd greatly appreciate it!

I've never tried this, but if I understand the documentation here
correctly:
http://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.2/howto/deployment/fastcgi/#running-django-on-a-shared-hosting-provider-with-apache
you shouldn't need anything in particular. It looks like it's possible
just to install flup locally as part of your Django install, and
editing .htaccess to get Apache to rewrite requests so that they go
there.

Otherwise, if you do have to move, you could certainly do worse than
Webfaction.
