[sami nathan]

Hi
Now i tried to parse the incoming request and send my response i tried
in the following way by  just sending what request came as it as response
(ECHO server).and i am very newbie i dont know how to parse the request. I

application is not accepting in django

My view looks like this :

elif request.method == 'POST':
print request.POST.QueryDict
return HttpResponse (request.POST)

Thank you, you are probably right.  I invesitage this; I just sent
an email to our IT department.  It may be though that all I can do
is to patch my local Django branch because the IT department might
refuse to change their configuration.

If both MIME parts are so different, multipart/alternative may be a
problematic approach anyway.

RE: Challenge with installing django on windows 7 64 bit

[Chris Matthews]

1) Generally "not a valid archive" means the file was corrupted during the 
download/copy or the download/copy did not complete. If you used ftp to copy 
the file and the file mode settings was ASCII (not binary) then you can have a 
corrupt file (because CR 0x0D gets converted to CRLF 0x0D0A). If that is the 
case then download it again. You can confirm it was corrupt if you keep the 1st 
version of your archive and compare it with the 2nd one (using DOS/Windows file 
compare command: comp file1 file2

2) You can see if Python's gzip likes your archive (from Python help):
import gzip
f = gzip.open('/home/joe/file.txt.gz', 'rb')
file_content = f.read()
f.close()

3) If it is a 64 bit/Windows 7 issue then:

Hi,

I am trying to extract the installation files from the

using winzip, 7z, cygwin and so forth. All these programs complain
that the file isnt a valid archive.

I used to work with django back in 2009 on Window. The installation
used to be off the extract of a zip file I remember. How do I get
going with the installation?

I appreciate any inputs on this

I don't know what's happening here, but I'm fairly certain it isn't
Django's fault.

It's clear that *something* is processing your mail -- the text/plain
container you've provided has a footer providing contact details for
"Dr Ulrich Krafft, Prof Dr-Ing Harald Bolt, and Prof Dr. Sebastian M.
Schmidt. That content wasn't provided by Django.

You can check the exact output of Django using the File email backend
-- put the following two lines in your settings file:

EMAIL_BACKEND = 'django.core.mail.backends.filebased.EmailBackend'
EMAIL_FILE_PATH = '/a/path/somewhere/mail'

(substituting an appropriate FILE_PATH), and you'll see the raw
content that is being sent by Django, one file per email.

No, it isn't, and 0.96 hasn't been supported in *any* capacity for
almost a year. For a year prior to that, it only received critical
security updates.

There are quite a few very important differences between 0.96 and 1.0
-- if you're just starting out, you *definitely* want to be using a
recent release. Django 1.2 is the currently stable supported version;
a new stable version (1.3) is due out very soon (hopefully within a
couple of weeks).

Maybe Django version 0.96 didn't use a get_version() function?

Have a look inside /site-packages/django/__init__.py to see 
what is happening.


If you are just beginning with django it would be better to start with a 
more up-to-date version. I recommend using the development version but 
if that worries you then at least the most recent production release.


I don't know for sure but I wouldn't be surprised if 0.96 is no longer

VERSION didn't actually "work". It is a constant which is an attribute 
of django. Bear in mind that django is just python code.


You can import anything from the django python package using dot 
notation. That includes constants in __init__.py.


I just had a look in there and see now why you were trying to call 
get_version(). The correct way to do that is ...


>>> import django
>>> django.get_version()
u'1.3 alpha 1 SVN-14914'

or

>>> from django import get_version
>>> get_version()
u'1.3 alpha 1 SVN-14914'
>>>



and why doesn't django-admin.py dumpdata work?


Because that isn't how python code works. Within the interpreter (and in 
your code) you need to import packages or modules without mentioning the 
.py file extension. Python relies on finding things via the python path 
and dot notation.


Try getting a shell command line or Windows DOS prompt and do ...

python django-admin.py dumpdata

django-admin.py dumpdata

Sorry to be the bearer of bad news, but this means your mail client is
broken (or, at least, misconfigured).

Although we now send HTML error mails, we still send the original text
mail, in exactly the same format as before. We do this by sending two
MIME enclosures in the message; a text/plain enclosure with the
raw-text version, and a text/html version with the full markup. The
first MIME enclosure is always the text/plain enclosure.

So - I don't know what mail client you're using, but you need to
convince it to display the text/plain option, rather than the
text/html option.

Yours,
Russ Magee %-)

Re: problem with compressed egg in mysqldb module

[Cindy]

To be specific:
mysqldb version 1.2.3
django version 1.2.4
python 2.6
freebsd 8.1

Another question: if django/python is somehow using the wrong method
to unzip the egg
(since I can "unzip" just fine in the listed directory) is there some
way I can configure the correct
one?

Again, thanks...

7-zip documentation says that it should be able to unzip tar.gz, but

Maybe it got corrupted and another download may fix it.

Maybe Windows 7 thinks it knows better than you and is trying to protect 
you from yourself by stopping you from doing what you want until you 
adjust the properties of the tar.gz file to take all responsibility from 
Windows so it doesn't have to worry.


Maybe you don't have Win7 installation privileges.

Once you get it opened, drill down until you see a directory containing 
setup.py and drag that directory to a convenient temporary location. cd 
into that temp dir and open a command prompt. At the command line do ...


python setup.py install

... which ought to put django into your site-packages directory.

You should not need cygwin unless you intend to compile python from 
source. Django is python all the way down.

Long admin emails

[Torsten Bronger]

Hallöchen!

I just upgraded from Django 13xxx to the current SVN.  Before the
upgrade, error emails from 500 errors to the admins lokked like
.  I liked that very much, especially
because the traceback was easily readable.

Now, they look like .  It's the
text/plain part of the email (my client can't display HTML).  Is
there a possibility to get the old, for me clearer emails back, at
least almost?

Tschö,
Torsten.

Re: Custom validation in model

[Shawn Milochik]

Overriding the clean method of the modelform is the way to go.

If you're getting an error about not having 'cleaned_data,' it could be because 
your custom clean method doesn't return anything -- you're responsible for 
returning it if you override it that method.

Custom validation in model

[Mario8k]

Hi,
Supose that I have a model with a from and to date:

class Foo (models.Model):
from_date = models.DateField()
to_date = models.DateField()

What is the correct way to ensure that from_date is always before
to_date?
For now, I'm using only the admin site.

One way, may be, is to use custom validation to the admin, like
suggest in 
http://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/ref/contrib/admin/#adding-custom-validation-to-the-admin.

But i think that is better to have a method to validate, inside model
logic, as suggested in an old thread
http://groups.google.com/group/django-users/browse_thread/thread/58c20c72f8b8725a/ec2a26c6118183fd?lnk=gst=validation#ec2a26c6118183fd

The latter one, does not work for me i dont know what i'm doing
wrong, i got an error msg :
'Foo' object has no attribute 'cleaned_data'

Mario.

Re: Need some ideas for how to implement a two-part form

[Shawn Milochik]

Try using formsets or model formsets.

http://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/topics/forms/formsets/

As for remembering some information about the form without displaying it, in 
your case it sounds like the guest form could have a foreign key to the party 
they're attending. You could exclude that  key from the form that is displayed 
to the user (using 'exclude' in the class meta). You can access the guest 
instance from within the guest form by using self.instance, so the party can be 
accessed via self.instance.party in your custom clean() and save() code.

Re: Error when adding to many to Many table via Admin

I fixed the problem; it appears I was using database settings for
Django 1.1; as soon as I included the full path for sqlite3, & added a

Re: custom Middleware for Django

[Piotr Kilczuk]

Hi,

More a Python thing, than Django.

You should never put custom code in the django package.

Generally you can put SWFUploadMiddleware inside, say, middleware.py in the
same directory as your settings.py.

Then you'd have to put:
'yourprojectname.middleware.SWFUploadMiddleware'

Once you understand how namespaces work, you'll be fine. At least until you
try do deploy using mod_wsgi ;)

Piotr

problem with compressed egg in mysqldb module

[Cindy]

Hi, all.  I'm getting this error, when trying to export my django site
to a new place:

TemplateSyntaxError: Caught ImproperlyConfigured while rendering:
Error loading MySQLdb module: bad local file header in /usr/local/lib/
python2.6/site-packages/MySQL_python-1.2.3-py2.6-freebsd-8.1-RELEASE-

When I install the module (I reinstalled it clean after finding the
above problem), I get the above egg as a zip file (and it unzips
without errors).  But I can't seem to use it.  I've been trying to
figure out what to do next -- I've considered trying to make it use
uncompressed eggs, but even though I've uncompressed it in that
directory (site-packages) it's not helping.  Does django have some way
of telling python to not use compressed eggs, but to look for
uncompressed stuff instead?  Or are there other suggestions/
solutions?  (I'm kinda hoping not to reinstall python itself esp. as I
hate changing /usr/ports default setups as it always bites me later
when i reinstall/upgrade things)

When I reinstalled py-MySQLdb, it created the egg in /root/.python-
eggs/MySQL_python-1.2.3-py2.6-freebsd-8.1-RELEASE-amd64.egg but after
trying to run the django stuff, that egg disappears, leaving
the .python-eggs dir empty, and giving me the above error message.

Using the latest version of django, python & mysqldb, on freebsd 8.1
(moving it from a freebsd 8.0 install, where it's working fine --
django & python versions the same on both).

Need some ideas for how to implement a two-part form

[j_syk]

I'm working on a project that requires a RSVP form for an event.

The first step of the form would ask first & last name, e-mail,
attending (yes/no/unsure), and total number of guests attending.
Currently I have this form correctly working and submitting to the
database.

The second step of the form would interact with a second table which
would be the guest list and it would only contain the first & last
name of each guest along with who registered them. It would give
enough forms to add the names of the guests from that party attending
(based on number submitted in the first step and only if the rsvp
response was Yes). The registered by column should be filled
automatically and be hidden on the client-side.
So far I have this working for just one name entry (pulls from POST
data).

So the real question is, what is the best way to go about adding a
secondary form which automatically provides enough name fields based
on the field filled in the first form? Also it should add the
registering guest's name to the first set of fields for convenience.

I'd be open to adding some sort of js/jquery/ajax/whatever to have the
form be all one page and dynamically add the number of name fields but
still save those to the second database table.

Many thanks for your comments; although it wasn't really what I wanted to hear 
- as I prefer the OO model over the relational.  I now feel that if I decide to 
use Django - not following a relational style will only cause me difficulties.

django CMS 2.1 final was just released!

[Jonas Obrist]

We are very proud to announce that a few moments ago, the django CMS 
team released the final release for version 2.1.0. This new version adds 
new exciting features to our CMS and fixes many issues.


Whats new in 2.1?

- Frontend-editing. This is probably the most noticeable new feature, 
allowing you to edit your CMS pages directly on the page, rather than in 
the admin panel. This feature even works for non-CMS pages, if they use 
the newly introduced Placeholder Fields, see the next point.
- Placeholder Fields. A new model field allowing developers to use the 
full power of the CMS plugin system on their own models. This feature is 
already used in some third party extensions, such as the cmsplugin-blog, 
which even uses the full power of plugins and placeholders to provide 
multilingual content.
- Improved Menu. With the new menu, it is easy for developers to extend 
the menu tree with custom menu nodes, to link to non-CMS content on 
their websites.
- Better Apphooks. Apphooks are the CMS way to integrate third party 
Django applications into the CMS. Coupled with the new menu and possibly 
Placeholder Fields, it is as easy as never before to make your Django 
application integrate seamlessly into the django CMS. You can even make 
your application CMS-ready, without having the CMS as a dependency!
- Better tests. We've increased our test coverage a lot and have more 
robust continuous integration, building against Django 1.2 and Django 
trunk as well as Python 2.5 and 2.6. We also decreased the time required 
to run the test suite by a lot, making it easier for developers to test 
their code.
- Better documentation. We've listened to all the feedback we got on our 
documentation and carefully improved and extended it. It is also hosted 
on readthedocs.org now, allowing us to provide you with multiple 
versions of our documentation with ease.
- More core developers. We increased our bus factor by adding more core 
developers, so welcome Ųyvind Saltvik and Eric Robitaille to the django 
CMS team! Of course we're looking forward to welcome more developers in 
our team. So go ahead and fork us on github and start hacking!


At this point, we would like to thank the over 150 people who 
contributed to the django CMS, without you, there would be no 2.1 
release today! We're looking forward to your future contributions and to 
all the developers contributing to the CMS.


Together with this new release, we also release our new django-cms.org 
website. We've update the design and integrate with amazing services 
such as djangopackages.com and readthedocs.org. Also, we now have a 
proper demo set up, which allows you to play around on a fresh django 
CMS instance. The demos are generously hosted by ep.io.


In the name of the django CMS developer team,

Jonas Obrist

It's fantastic practice.  In fact, in 1.3 the logging has its own configuration 
settings right in settings.py.

Re: Error when subclassing models.ForeignKey field

Hello again,

since no one responded untill now, I'd like to bring this back to attention.

If no one knows an answer to my question, maybe some one could give me
some hint what I could do?

Should I open a bug report?

Thanks in advance!

Challenge with installing django on windows 7 64 bit

[Magge]

Hi,

I am trying to extract the installation files from the
Django-1.2.4.tar.gz file that I got from the django website. I tried
using winzip, 7z, cygwin and so forth. All these programs complain
that the file isnt a valid archive.

I used to work with django back in 2009 on Window. The installation
used to be off the extract of a zip file I remember. How do I get
going with the installation?

I appreciate any inputs on this

Thanks

I can't help you with your problem, I don't know why they are behaving
differently. However, it is a universal truth of computing that given
the same input and environment, the same software will produce the
same result.
Somewhere along the way therefore, you must not have the same input,
environment or software. Establishing where the two differ will help
you solve the issue, I am sure.

Re: MySQL behavior about Warning/Exception

[etienned]

Thanks for your answer.

I have compared the .cnf on both of my servers and they are identical?

Then, in my settings.py file, I set my database options to
'sql_mode' : 'TRADITIONAL' and now I don't have the error anymore. So
that fix my problem.

But that doesn't explain the 2 different behaviors on 2 mostly
identical servers?

I don't use satchmo, but is there a third option for SSL, None? In my
SSL middleware, setting SSL to True implies that the view must be
loaded over SSL, setting it to False implies that it must not be, and
not setting it implies that the middleware should stay out of it.

If you can finagle that, then you should do so for your your AJAX
views, and refer to them in your templates/JS using URI references
rather than an absolute URI ('/foo/bar/' rather than
'http://wibble.com/foo/bar/'). This way, the browser will DTRT with
the protocol when making the ajax call - SSL when the view is loaded
over SSL, HTTP otherwise.

I understand the settings just fine. Are you saying that the dev

only serving the static media.

What do you have STATIC_URL set to? Is it different than your
MEDIA_URL?

Re: Restrict access to the whole application

[tobik]

Well, by an application I meant the 'subfolder' in your django project
directory, which you create using manage.py startapp 'appname' (or
maybe django.admin.py). That confused me. So if in your case an
application is a model inside database, then I understand that you can
use standard permissions and singal 'post_save'. I checked your code
 and the line 44
made it all clear.

When I understand it finally I am not sure whether I will go this way.
You know, my project is going to have like 3-4 stable applications. I
don't actually need to dynamically add new ones and the whole layer
for working with applications (view.connect) is a little bit brutal
for my needs. While discussing with you I found out that there is such
things like Middleware in django, so I will probably use it instead
(see the link in second post).

Anyway, I feel much smarter thanks to you! So thanks again for your
time.

MEDIA_ROOT is the path to the directory where your files will live.


MEDIA_URL is the URL the get to those files.

So if MEDIA_ROOT='/home/you/media'
and MEDIA_URL='site-media/' 

Attention never use MEDIA_URL='media/' because that url is already used by the 
admin interface.

Then if you want to view a file located at /home/you/media/thisFile.jpg you 
enter http://yoursite.com/site-media/thisFile.jpg.

The same counts for STATIC_ROOT and STATIC_URL.

I hope everything is clear now. I'm aware the docs are pretty much useless on 
these subjects. But then again that's about the only thing you can say bad 
about django's documentation.

Sorry if I wasn't that obvious this morning but I didn't sleep well and I had 
little time. But I could feel your frustration since I had the same problem 
going on some day's ago.

Good luck!

Re: Restrict access to the whole application

[Brian Bouterse]

Maybe this will clear things up, but if not, write back.  In my example an
"application" is a resource inside of a django project, not a django project
itself.  Your description of 'use_appname' is correct.  An app for me is a
model and so I have setup a post_save
signalon
that model so that when the model is created the post save signal
ensures
the permission is created.

The permission is then checked when a user goes to use an application using
standard django permission checking.  You could use this same scheme to
limit access to installed django application I could imagine.

Re: Restrict access to the whole application

[tobik]

Thank you for your answer. It is to much information for me and I am
not sure whether I understand it correctly :)

So basically you create for each application a corresponding
permission which looks something like 'use_appname'. If the user wants
to access 'appname' application, he has to have 'use_appname'
permission. And when these permissions are being created? When
starting a new application? (./manage.py startapp appname) And Django
just knows that permission named use_appname belongs to 'appname'?
It's a part of core? Sorry for my dumb question, I just don't know
much yet about how does Django work under the hood.

Btw I found also this  which could also solve my problem. It
wouldn't be difficult to modify the code in order to add support for
groups.

That is what I'm trying to do.

I don't understand this. One is a URL, the other is a file path. Why
would I set STATIC_URL = MEDIA_ROOT? Or did you make a typo and mean
MEDIA_URL? That might make more sense to me.

My question is, if I want to serve my apps' static files at the URL /
static/ and user-uploaded media at /media/ (Is this an unusual
requirement? Maybe this is typically only done in production?) what is
the best way to do this with the dev server, and should the docs be
strengthened to support this? The dev server, with DEBUG=True, does a
good job of serving my apps' static files at the URL rooted at /
static/, but it (obviously) 404's when a request is made for /media/.
So here I think I need to configure the new static serving view with
the URL pattern /media/ (and point it at my MEDIA_ROOT as I showed in
my original post).

Or, do most people (in dev. mode) set MEDIA_URL = STATIC_URL, and then
add the MEDIA_ROOT path to the STATICFILES_DIRS setting? Or do
something else?

Could some people could post their full (STATIC|MEDIA)_(ROOT|URL) and
STATICFILES_* settings for their dev server environment? I guess I am
looking for some "best practice" examples; for some reason this is
really tripping me up. Thank you.

Ok, thanks for this clear answer.
I've noted the "managed" option that might avoid errors on a sync but
as django still thinks these tables are updateable it's not a real
solution - and it's not wise to recommend django for the situations
mentioned in my first post.

So the django ORM is in the same situation as the Ruby-on-Rails ORM.
But, as opposed to Ruby, a possible solution already exists in the
form of SQLalchemy.
This approach has already been followed:
http://code.google.com/p/django-sqlalchemy/

Progress in this project seems a bit low, but maybe one day some
enlighted ghosts will take up the torch ...

Re: Restrict access to the whole application

That's indeed how a relational DB works, and Django's ORM doesn't try
to pretend the relational DB doesn't exists or is just a dumb 'bit
bucket'. So, while models ares defined as classes, these are mostly -
from this POV at least - "technical" objects wrapping the relational
model, and not "pure" OO domain objects (whatever a "pure" OO domain
object might be). This doesn't mean you have to go for an "anemic
domain model" neither - your relational schema is part of the "domain
space", and models (as well as managers) are also here to support
additional responsabilitie.

Some will talk about "OO/relational impedance mismatch" (ok, I cheated
- Daniel just did;)), but I don't see it that way as far as I'm
concerned - I'm using a relational model wrapped into an OO
representation, and that's just what I want for most apps.

Doesn't look to be directly possible from the Django's API; but I guess you 
could,

class Car(models.Model):
manufacturer = models.CharField(max_length=127)
name = models.CharField(max_length=127)

Although this does help, it leaves one question open:

How can we forbid only such pairs of objects that have the same value
in all of their attributes.

Example:

This should be allowed:

car1: manufacturer = "foo", name = "bar"
car2: manufacturer = "foo", name = "baz"

This should not be allowed:

car1: manufacturer = "foo", name = "bar"
car2: manufacturer = "foo", name = "bar"

You may find it best to collapse them into a single object; using the 'choice' 
option to allow the user to set the ticket's state.

You can jump in and change the model's data before the model is saved by 
over-riding the 'save' method in your model.

Below is one of my models.  My frequency attribute could be quite similar to 
what you need for your state field.  Below you can see where I'm setting a 
number of my attributes (based upon the parent object when the Charge object is 
created as an Inline) before this Charge is saved,

class Charge (models.Model):
CHARGE_FREQUENCY_CHOICES = (
(u'NRC', u'Non-Recurring'),
(u'MRC', u'Monthly'),
(u'QRC', u'Quaterly'),
(u'ARC', u'Annual')
)

frequency = models.CharField(max_length=15, 
choices=CHARGE_FREQUENCY_CHOICES)
   

def save(self, *args, **kwargs):
self.description = self.service
self.customer = self.service.customer
self.legacy_charge_id = None
self.prorata = False
self.created_date = datetime.date.today()
self.started_date = self.service.completed_date
self.expiry_date = self.service.expiry_date
self.terminated_date = self.service.terminated_date
super(Charge, self).save(*args, **kwargs)

In order that the user does not set (or need to set) the above fields, set the 
fields attribute of the Admin object so only the values you want the user to 
control are visible.  Here's mine,

class ChargeInlineAdmin(admin.TabularInline):
fields = ('frequency','amount', 'currency', 'vat_chargeable')
model = Charge
extra = 0

I've used the string form for forward references of models; but I still seem to 
get problems when performing the initial migration (using South) of the 
database as the table to which the forward reference points does not exist at 
the time of creating the initial table.

I've just tried using a basic syncdb and that works fine.  I presume I'm seeing 
problems as South's migrations work one app at a time; in contrast to syncdb 
that seems to install the whole project - only worrying about dependencies at 
the end.

Still; I feel circular dependencies are bad; even work arounds are possible.

Is there a recommended path to take with Django?

Kind regards,

aid

This is what's known as the object-relational impedance mismatch [1]. 
Unfortunately, as you've noticed, OO concepts don't map completely cleanly 
onto the relational model, and this is an issue with all systems that 
attempt to do it. Django does what it can to smooth over the gaps, but can't 
always do everything.

However, you should not be getting circular dependencies. Can you provide 
some examples? One place where I often see them is when two models in 
separate applications are related via ForeignKey, and the developer has 
imported each model into the other's models.py. But it isn't necessary to 
import them at all, as you can refer to models via strings: 

myfkfield = models.ForeignKey('otherapp.OtherModel')

so no circular dependency is declared. Does that solve your problem? If not, 
some examples will be helpful.

Customising the Admin Save Models in DJango 1.1

[Prof Falken]

Hi all,

I'm relatively new to DJango (I've been using it for about three
months) and so far I'm loving it - makes a really nice change from
PHP... ;)

I've run into an issue which my Google foo skills just can't find an
answer to - how to I edit the Admin models and the way that they are
saved?

I have two models, the first is a 'change request ticket' and the
second reflects the status of that ticket.  They are linked by a
ForeignKeyField on the first table.

The two problems that I have are:

1) Some of the 'states' should mark the ticket as closed, so when the
ticket is saved with the state of 'closed', it should be marked as
'completed' with the date and time the action was carried out.

2) Each ticket is created by a user, each additional piece of
information is created by a user.  Both sections should take this
information from the current session, not a drop down list, otherwise
I cannot guarantee that the reporting engine I am also writing will
return accurate data about who opened/edited/closed each ticket.

I don't particularly want to write my own forms for this, but it's not
something that I can find a way of doing.  I'm sure I'm not the first
to do this, however if I do get a solution through this group, I
promise to put up a blog post about it! :)

To answer a few questions I'm sure some of you will have:

Q) Why DJango 1.1, why not upgrade?
A) Because 1.1 is what ships with CentOS and that's what we use at
work.  Company policy is not to install from "source".

Q) Where is the code?
A) The code is part of the Edison project and the exact model can be
found at
https://github.com/proffalken/edison/blob/master/changemanagement/models.py

Kind regards,

Matt

Restrict access to the whole application

[tobik]

My first question is whether it is possible to restrict access to the
whole application from one place. I could write @login_required over
every function but is there a better way?

My second question is whether it is possible to use user groups for
restricting applications. I want for example that only users in group
'teachers' could access the 'teaching' application. I know that groups
are meant for something else but it would spare me a lot of time.

I've just started with Django so be patient with me :)

Django: Object Oriented or Relational Database?

[Adrian Bool]

Hi,

I'm creating a DB using Django for managing our companies data - customers, 
services, orders, billing etc.  I'm using the Django admin interface to manage 
the data.

I seem to be consistently at odds with myself and would be good to hear the 
community's point of view on this.

I'm defining the DB in Python; using objects and inheritance.  As such, when 
I'm doing this I'm thinking in an object orientated (OO) manner - a service 
uses a number of resources so I create a Service object with with either 
foreign key or many-to-many (as appropriate) relationship to the Resource 
objects.  This gives me nice referential integrity and I can be sure that the 
Service has valid connections to the Resources it requires.

It seems, however, that Django expects the models not to be defined in an OO 
manner.  For example; should I wish resources to be listed as Inlines on the 
Service's page  I can only do this if the foreign key is with the Resource - 
pointing 'up' the stack to the services - as possible to being pointed to by 
the Service.  Django seems to be defining stricture using an OO language; but 
expecting that structure in a more traditional, relational database, style 
where entries point up to their owners rather than the owners pointing down to 
their children.

In order to try to fit in with Django Admin I've ended up using both styles.  
Unsurprisingly this mixture of styles is now causing me problems with circular 
dependencies.  I know I need to jump one way or the other; but would be great 
to get some comments from experienced Django coders before I decide which way...

Any comments/advice welcome...

Cheers,

aid

Re: Django form(s) for intermediary models

[Ian Lewis]

Hi,

What you want to do here is use a Django "Formset" which contains your
ModelForms. Since you want to show one form per person
regardless of whether they are a member or not we can't use the
modelformset_factory() and will have to do some manipulation of the
initial data using the formset_factory() function instead. I haven't
actually run and tested the code below (user beware) but you'll need
to do something similar in order to do what you're describing.

See:
http://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/topics/forms/formsets/
http://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/topics/forms/modelforms/#model-formsets

Using the Membership form (I called it MembershipForm) from the previous poster:

from django.forms.models import formset_factory

def myview(request, group_id):
group = Group.objects.get(pk=group_id)

MembershipFormset = formset_factory(form=MembershipForm, extra=0)
if request.method == 'POST':
formset = MembershipFormset(request.POST)
if formset.is_valid():
# since the formset itself isn't a ModelFormset
# we need to loop over the individual ModelForms
# and save() them.
for form in formset.forms:
form.save()
# Do something
else:

# Make a person_id to membership mapping.
memberships = dict(map(lambda m: (m.person_id, m),
groups.membership_set.all()))
initial = {}
We need to order by pk (or some other field) here so that the
form indexes match.
for i,person in enumerate(Person.objects.all().order_by("pk")):
prefix = form.get_default_prefix()
membership = memberships.get(person.pk, None)

# Here we create the initial data.
# Add data for the each initialized form here.
# initial data is needed for every person in order
# to set the number of forms.
initial.update({
'%s-%s-person' % (prefix, i): person if membership else None,
'%s-%s-date_joined' % (prefix, i):
membership.date_joined if membership else None,
})
formset = MembershipFormset(initial=initial)

# do something
