Re: Converting from Wordpress, upgrading users.

I am migrating a site from Wordpress to Django and I need the old

Maybe you can write an auth backend to continue using the Wordpress auth?

http://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/topics/auth/#writing-an-authentication-backend

If so, you could duplicate the userids and passwords in the django auth 
backend in parallel as each user logs in.


I first create auth.User

objects for all Wordpress users. Wordpress' login username does not
conform to Django's so I need to fix some of the usernames during
migration.


If you can figure out the name rules you might be able to fix them on 
the fly and notify the users that their userid has now been adjusted.


Just a thought

Mike



I then store Wordpress Credentials wp_user_login, wp_user_pass,
fixed_username (True is i need to fix there username during migration)
and a FK to the new auth.User in a separate table. My custom auth
backend will look up the Credentials by wp_user_login, then check the
password (hashing it with the same algorithm that Wordpress uses)
against wp_user_pass.

If the password hashes match and and fixed_username is False I can
update the auth.User's password and the upgrade is complete.

If fixed_username is True I need to provide an additional step of
having the User verify they like there new username, or provide a new
one. And then the upgrade is complete.

I would like to not have to recreate all of
django.contrib.auth.views.login to get this workflow working, but i
can figure out how to redirect to the "verify fixed username" page.

Anyone solve this before?

Re: Django compressor

[Casey S. Greene]

Assuming you  mean this:
https://github.com/mintchaos/django_compressor

From their example:

{% load compress %}
{% compress css %}
charset="utf-8">

p { border:5px solid green;}
charset="utf-8">

{% endcompress %}

This goes in your template.  Make the CSS for that page a separate file 
and only include it on the pages where you actually want it.


Hope this helps!

newbie

[km]

I have been reading django forms with media.
But I would like to use the latest jquery (1.4.4) + jquery-ui (1.8.7)
with a django (v1.2.4) based  web-application for forms and ui-design
in general.

1) does the latest jquery installed under MEDIA_ROOT conflict with the
default jquery library(v1.4.2) ?
2) jquery-ui provides widgets otherthan those act on form elements.
for example most jquery widgets manipulate  elements to make tabs
or accordion appear. In that case does the ui-design have to be
manually designed  and restricted to the templates ?

pls let me know.
thank you
regards,
KM

Personally I don't use named urls that way, I give each a unique name that is 
relevant to the view it's going to, like index, gallery-index, etc While 
my naming convention may mimic the app-view that namespaces would use. It 
doesn't have to be. The rule of thumb for me is "a unique name that fits the 
purpose of url". But last time I used django, I had started to use namespaces 
more than named urls.

[Vitaly Babiy]

The url docs talks about naming urls like this: myapp-comment, does it make 
sense to do this still when we have namespaces? With a namespace we could do 
myapp:comment this way the url name only describes the view and has 
no reference to the application name that its in.

booleanfield filter not working

[deecodameeko]

Hi,

I have the following model:

class MerchantFormFields(models.Model):

merchant_form  = models.ForeignKey(MerchantForms)
label  = models.CharField(max_length=50)
field_type = models.ForeignKey(FieldTypes)
required   = models.BooleanField()
dependency = models.BooleanField()
order  = models.IntegerField()
attributes = JSONField()

and use the following method to query:

def get_form_fields(self, dependency=None, order='order'):

self.get_merchant_form()

filter = {}
filter['merchant_form'] = self.merchant_form

if dependency is not None:
filter['dependency'] = dependency

return
MerchantFormFields.objects.filter(**filter).order_by(order)

No matter if I specify False/True/0/1 I always get all the fields
associated with the merchant_form and not the dependency field. If I
print the filter before the query I can see the dependency filter is
set:

When dependency is False:
filter: {'merchant_form': ,
'dependancy': False}

When dependency is True
filter: {'merchant_form': ,
'dependancy': True}

Even if I look at the query formulated:

{
'time': '0.109',
'sql': u'SELECT `merchant_merchantformfields`.`id`,
`merchant_merchantformfields`.`merchant_form_id`,
`merchant_merchantformfields`.`label`,
`merchant_merchantformfields`.`field_type_id`,
`merchant_merchantformfields`.`required`,
`merchant_merchantformfields`.`dependancy`,
`merchant_merchantformfields`.`order`,
`merchant_merchantformfields`.`attributes` FROM
`merchant_merchantformfields` WHERE
(`merchant_merchantformfields`.`merchant_form_id` = 3 AND
`merchant_merchantformfields`.`dependancy` = 1 ) ORDER BY
`merchant_merchantformfields`.`order` ASC'
}

I can see the filter is correct. I've even run this query and have
seen the result I'm looking for but when I run it in my code, I get
all fields for the specified merchant_form...

I really don't know why this is.

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Re: Handling huge fixtures

[Steve Bywater]

I use this exact dataset. Instead of using a fixture called
initial_data.json for that whole dataset, call it something else like
zip_code.json. You can use loaddata to load it whenever you are
setting up a new environment. For your tests, have a minimal subset of
zips in initial_data, or in another fixture that you specifically load
for the test cases that need it. Makes test running much easier.

If you think zip codes are bad, wait until you get to postal codes. :)

Localisation

[David Walker]

Despite reading round and round in circles in the documentation, I am
completely baffled about localisation and how it works.  I am not
trying to do any translation yet, but want to code money and date
formats right so that I don't have to rewrite things later.

It isn't even clear to me which locale things are being localised to.
I had presumed that everything would be localised to the browser's
locale, using the language setting, however it seems to be localised
to the LANGUAGE_CODE setting from settings.py.  Am I doing something
wrong?

Any help would be gratefully received.

Hi,

You should be also able to do:

sudo pip install Django --upgrade

which would do a system-wide installation or upgrade of newest Django
available in PyPI (ie. 1.2.4).

I prefer pip over other ways of installation when it comes to Python
packages, as easy as apt-get install

Converting from Wordpress, upgrading users.

[Sean Brant]

I am migrating a site from Wordpress to Django and I need the old
username and passwords to keep working. I first create auth.User
objects for all Wordpress users. Wordpress' login username does not
conform to Django's so I need to fix some of the usernames during
migration.

I then store Wordpress Credentials wp_user_login, wp_user_pass,
fixed_username (True is i need to fix there username during migration)
and a FK to the new auth.User in a separate table. My custom auth
backend will look up the Credentials by wp_user_login, then check the
password (hashing it with the same algorithm that Wordpress uses)
against wp_user_pass.

If the password hashes match and and fixed_username is False I can
update the auth.User's password and the upgrade is complete.

If fixed_username is True I need to provide an additional step of
having the User verify they like there new username, or provide a new
one. And then the upgrade is complete.

I would like to not have to recreate all of
django.contrib.auth.views.login to get this workflow working, but i
can figure out how to redirect to the "verify fixed username" page.

Anyone solve this before?

  Note that you can fix that quite easily by putting something like
this

for f in User._meta.fields:
if f.name == "username":
f.max_length=75

  somewhere in your code. Easiest in your models.py.

Re: django-admin.py startproject myproject - problem

[Casey S. Greene]

It looks like django is not in your site packages directory.  Did you 
specifically want to install the development version (that is what you 
linked to)?  If not, then a simple:

sudo apt-get install python-django
will install django in kubuntu (10.10 at least, and I think earlier).

Hope this helps,
Casey

Re: Django/Comet?

[Shawn Milochik]

Ethan,

Thanks for the reply. Since this isn't something a lot of people are doing I'm 
going to make my own way and report back. I just wanted to ensure I wasn't 
straying from what the community at large was doing, but since there's no 
consensus I'll just do whatever.

In my research yesterday, including a friendly chat in the #orbited IRC 
(freenode), here are the things I found:

Hookbox does more, but is heavier.
Orbited is once again under active development.
It's possible to use Orbited with Celery and RabbitMQ.
Hookbox replicates some functionality of Celery and RabbitMQ.

Based on this, and the fact that I'm already using django-celery and RabbitMQ, 
I'm leaning towards Orbited. I'm going to put together a little test project 
this weekend. If all goes well I'll probably stop there and just use Orbited. 
I'll put up a blog post with relevant code snippets. If something goes horribly 
wrong, or I get tremendously motivated, I'll do the same with Hookbox and have 
a better understanding of the differences.

Shawn

Signals and foreign key

[mrmclovin]

Hey,
Im trying to get the signal pre_save to work on my model but there
seems to be some problem with a foreign key or something. My model is
like this:

class BlogEntry(models.Model):
headline = models.CharField(max_length=100)
content = models.CharField(max_length=2000)
written_by = models.ForeignKey(User)
date = models.DateTimeField(auto_now=True)
project = models.ForeignKey(Project)

And here is where the form is processed and saved:

def form_valid(self, blogform): # post a blogentry
blog_entry = blogform.save(commit=False)
blog_entry.written_by = self.request.user
blog_entry.project = blog_entry.project #debugging shows that this
is a valid instance of the Project model
blog_entry.save()

return TemplateResponseMixin.render_to_response(self,
self.get_context_data())

And here's my signal reciever function

@receiver(post_save, sender=BlogEntry)
def project_blog_entry_signal(sender, **kwargs):
log = Log()
log.project = sender.project.field
log.content_type = Log.content_new_blogentry
log.save()

And here's the exception:
Cannot assign "": "Log.project" must be a "Project" instance.  @the line
-> log.project = sender.project.field in
project_blog_entry_signal() funktion

The sender object doesn't seem to pass the project as a model instance?

look into this too and would also love to hear if and how people are doing
it.  My impressions match yours -- I thought Orbited was the popular
solution, but when I looked into it recently the project seemed stalled, and
perhaps superceded by Hookbox.

Hookbox looks very nice -- the backend messaging server is designed to
integrate into your project with REST APIs, so it calls URLs in your
application to figure out how to respond to connections, subscriptions,
publications, etc.  And its frontend Javascript library is easy to use.
 I've never done Comet stuff before but I was able to install Hookbox and
get a simple prototype of persistent, multi-user, real-time draggable divs
running in a few hours.  The documentation is a bit outdated, though, and
it's also worth reading this recent thread:
http://groups.google.com/group/hookbox/browse_thread/thread/9ffa12884025a890

So I'm cautiously optimistic about Hookbox, but I'd love to hear what other
people are using.

Dynamic nested forms

[OrazioPirataDelloSpazio (Lorenzo)]

Hello,
I had to make a page with some dynamically added nested formset (all in
a page), for example:

Blog title:
Blog info:
--Entry title:
--Entry text:
Tags:
Add new Tag
-- Add New Entry
...
Add new Blog

Which is the cleanest way to do it with django?
I did it using 3 formset (blog, entry and tags), but code looks like a
mess.
Is there some easier way, as there is for Rails [1], for this quite
common task?

Lorenzo

Re: i18n issue with compilemessages

[Isaac XxX]

The problem seems to come from your python path, that is not well defined.

Try to define path in an absolute (not realtive) fashion.

import os

os.environ['PYTHONPATH'] = '/path/to/myproject'
os.environ['DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE'] = 'myproject.settings'

and then, apache should be able to execute compile messages

Greetings,

Isaac
