I think the documentation on creating your own authorization backend is 
what you need.


http://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.2/topics/auth/#writing-an-authentication-backend

It's very simple to do, and you can do it however you want. For example, 
it would take you about five minutes to write one that authorizes the 
username and password against a Gmail account or your own database.

Re: Looking for IDE + FTP

2011-02-08 Thread broz

I've been curious about workflow with Django sites (or other
frameworks for that matter). I LOVE being able to remote edit. I can
see where this request is coming from. If I want to edit a file on the
server, I just open it up on my local machine, edit, and save. The
SFTP transfer all happens behind the scenes. This is very efficient.
There are no risks. I am editing a test instance. I do use version
control, but that's not what this is about.

In order to work on my code locally, I need to have a system set up
locally that mimics the remote system. So, I need to have a running
database, and a web server, and some other pieces and parts. My local
instance will not match the remote instance, ever. The remote uses
virtual hosts, the local one does not. The remote is an older version
of apache. The remote uses Oracle. Perhaps I could set my local system
up with old apache, and old Oracle. The remote server is remote, so
there's performance issues to consider.

I can set something up locally, fiddle, fuss, make it work, and then
ship the changes to the server. Whoa, it doesn't work on the server,
because my local system is just not the same.

This is why I want to remote edit my files. I want to test on a test
instance on the same server that will run the production version when
I'm done. And that's what I do with BBEdit.

BBEdit does remote editing very very well. It's not an IDE.

With BBEdit, I open the file, edit, test, edit, test.

PyCharm is a great IDE, but it doesn't remote edit. I download, I open
the file, I edit, save, upload, test, edit, save, upload, test, edit,
save, upload, test. Pydev works this way too. Wingware, I donno.
Komodo? I donno.

I would welcome enthusiastically, some recommendations on workflow,
given the constraints of the IDEs we have. There are lots of people
out there smarter than me.

Thanks for bringing up this topic!

Re: How should I properly impliment HTTP(S) auth (REMOTE_AUTH) in django?

2011-02-08 Thread ivan sugiarto

greetings,
a year ago I had the same problem and did not found any solution, after that
i started to build my own HTTP(S) single sign on using PHP (but recently i
ported on the Django) with the work flow like this

login :
clients (consumer) check the credential server using hidden iframe
server (single sign on) check whether the browser has the session and check
whether the clients is on the database using hashed api key
if it has the session server send (via post ) user credential without
password (username, role, email etc)/but also i provided the username using
csv that can be modified to json
clients check if the request ip is from the server if yes then the post
parameters is accepted
servers redirects user to server (hidden iframe)
the clients created the session

you can check it on

https://github.com/ivansugi/django-single-sign-on--soekarno-

i hope it match your requirement

Fabfile for a multi-server project

2011-02-08 Thread mack the finger

I'm working on building a fabric deployment for a project with a
fairly complex environment. There will be 2+ app servers running
django code, a few database servers running in some kind of master/
slave configuration, a rabbitmq server, a mail server, some load
balancers, etc. There will be over 12 different machines at least. My
question is how should I write fabric scripts for all these servers? I
realize this isn't a fabric group, but I imagine there are a lot of
people here who have used fabric extensively, and fabric doesn't have
its own group...

Right now I plan on having a separate repository for both server
config files and deployment scripts, and another separate repo for the
django application code. The deploy repo will have a 'deploy' folder,
and then inside that folder there will be an 'app' folder, containing
the fabfile for apt-get installing, as well as pip installing all
requirements for the app server. I'll also have a 'db' folder which
will contain a fabfile with a task for apt-get installing postgres, a
task for copying over postgres config files, etc. Eventually, I'll
have a separate folder for each type of server, with it's own fabfile.

Is this the right way?  Does it make much sense to have it split up
like that? Would it be easier to have one fab file for all different
servers?

How should I properly impliment HTTP(S) auth (REMOTE_AUTH) in django?

2011-02-08 Thread Sean W

This is a re-post of my stack overflow question here
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/4939908/how-should-i-properly-impliment-https-auth-remote-auth-in-django

Hi,

I am in the planning phase a new project. I want to be able to control
multiple relays from my android powered phone over the internet. I need to
use an HTTP based server as a middleman between the phone and the relays.
Django is my preferred platform because Python is my strongest skill set.
This would not be a "web app" (with the exception of the admin interface for
managing the user and their access to the relays). Rather, the server would
simply provide an API in the form of HTTPS requests and JSON encoding.
Though, I should note that I have never done any web development in my life,
so I don't know best practices (yet). The authentication method should meet
the following criteria:

- Works over HTTPS (self-signed SSL)
- Provides multi-factor authentication (in the form of something you have
and something you know)
- Be reasonably secure (Would be very difficult to fool, guess at. or
otherwise bypass)
- Is simple in implementation for the server operator and end user on the
mobile client
-

Is lightweight in in terms of both CPU cycles and bandwidth

I plan to use the following scheme to solve this:
1. An administrator logs into the web interface, creates a user, and sets
up his/her permissions (including a username and a password chosen by the
user).
2. The user starts the client, selects add server, and enters the
server URL and his/her credentials.
3. The client attempts to authenticate the the user via HTTP auth
(over SSL). If the authentication was successful, the server will
generate
an API key in the form of a UUID and sends it to the client. The client
will
save this key and use it in all API calls over HTTPS. HTTP auth is only
used
for the initial authentication process prior to reviving a key, as a
session
scheme would not be nessessary for this application. Right? The client
will
only work if the phone is configured to automatically lock with a PIN or
pattern after a short timeout. The server will only allow one key to be
generated per user, unless an administrator resets the key. Hence,
simple,
mobile, multifactor authentication.

Is this sound from a security standpoint? Also, can anyone point me to an
example of how to use the HTTP auth that is built into Django? From a Google
search, I can find a lot of snipits witch hack the feature together. But,
none of them implement HTTP auth in the wayit was added to Django in
1.1.
The official documentation for REMOTE_AUTH can be found
here,
but I am having difficulty understanding the documentation as I am very new
to Django.

Quoting http://www.aptana.org/products/studio2:

File Transfer & Synchronization
Support for one-shot as well as keep-synchronized setups. Multiple
protocols including FTP, SFTP and FTPS. Ability to automatically
publish your application to selected ISPs and hosting services.

Version control is never an overkill, if the setup is so simple (like
in Git or Mercurial - that git init doesn't really cost you anything).
Plus it solves 3 major problems:

1) Keeping history for your own sanity. Too many times I seen people
go crazy over code that "suddenly stoped working even if I revert the
change".

2) Backups - pushing your code to remote sites like Bitbucket or
Github is a great way, to make sure you don't lose or your work.

3) Deployment - Instead of uploading stuff via FTP, you can just push
your changes to the site. This wil proably require some more knowledge
about VCS, but it will save lots of time.

I recommend Gvim, although it takes time to configure and tune
it. As for uploading, simply run a devserver locally and then after
a few days (or a week) of work, upload everything in bulk, perhaps
using a version control system. Basic use of version control is
actually
very easy to pick up and the nice bonus is that you can clean up
code as needed, deleting parts that you don't use anymore, without
fear of losing them: you can always go back in history and retrieve
it. This leads to cleaner code IME.

What does the model look like, and how many rows does your query
return?  The Oracle backend has to do some extra processing over the
data to get its results into the expected format.  This may be what
you're seeing, although I would be surprised if it is really
dominating the query time by that much.  LOB columns can also slow the
backend down significantly, since we have to make extra round-trips to
the database to read their contents.  Neither of these things would be
included in the recorded query time.

If your model includes LOB columns or has a large number of fields,
then your best bet is probably to use QuerySet.defer() or
QuerySet.only() to limit the fields returned to those that are
specifically of interest.

You're not doing anything wrong -- you've hit one of the slightly
sharp corners of class-based generic views.

You can still use a decorator -- but at the point of deploying a view.

login_required(MyView.as_view())

You can't decorate the MyView class itself -- Django doesn't provide
the tools to turn a view decorator into a class decorator.

As you've noticed, you can override the dispatch to decorate the view
as required, and if you have a common authentication pattern, you can
put that logic into a mixin.

In a general sense, the problem that Django has as a project is that
while login_required is a very common decorator for checking
authentication, it isn't the *only* decorator that can be used.

Authentication -- and decorating views in general -- is a fairly
common patterns, though, so we obviously need to do something to
address this. There have been a couple of discussions about the best
way to implement that feature. However, these discussions are a work
in progress. In the interim, a mixin is probably the best approach.

Yours,

If you work in Windows I would recommend PyScripter. It is lightweight and

NetBeans)

It also features code completion, debugging, etc. I've used it to debug

imported tuples/variables don't get translated

2011-02-08 Thread Ivo Brodien

If I import some tuple which is used for choices in a forms.RadioSelect widget, 
then the choices don’t get translated

models.py:

BOOL_CHOICES = ((True, _(u'Yes')), (False, _(u'No')))

forms.py:

from models import BOOL_CHOICES

1) does work an translates the choices
form.fields['accomdation'].widget = forms.RadioSelect(choices = ((True, 
_(u’Yes')), (False, _(u'No'

2) does not translate the choices
form.fields['accomdation'].widget = forms.RadioSelect(choices = BOOL_CHOICES)


something similar happens for a label

STATIC = _(u”mystring”)

...label = STATIC does not work
...label = _(STATIC) does work


Is this a bug or a desired behavior or am I missing something?

Re: Looking for IDE + FTP

2011-02-08 Thread Austin Govella

I use Textmate ($55?) for editing. Great color coding for html, ruby,
php, javascript, css, and python. :-)

I use Terminal (free) for Subversion and Git (version control). I'd
highly recommend Git. It is easier to use and les of a hassle than
Subversion.

I use Cyberduck (free) for FTP and Mac's Finder (free) for browsing directories.

It's not much of a difficulty to edit and save a file in my editor,
switch to the finder window and then drag the changed file onto
Cyberduck where it uploads it.

The Git workflow is the same, except I switch to the Terminal instead
of finder and type in a Git command instead of dragging a file to
Cyberduck.



Don't let all the version control peeps get you down. I edit files for
live sites directly on the server all the time. Dangerous? Can be.
Sure, but it really depends on what kind of site you're working on.

I think a better bridge between your current process and version
control is to have two versions of your sites hosted on your server:
one for testing/staging, and the other one for production. You can
make your edits and FTP them to your testing server, and if everything
works, you can FTP the changes to the production server.

Gets you the "testing before breaking" without having to learn a
version control system.

2011-02-08 Thread Bram de Jong

Hi,


we want to write some testing code, but our site uses Solr for
indexing. The test cases we are running are testing -among other
things- the searching.

problem is: we need to run some additional code to index the stuf the
fixtures just inserted into the DB.

as far as I read it the django unit tests run setUp before the
fixtures are loaded...
is that correct?

Don't do this. Please. Really really really don't do this.

It is an incredibly bad idea to edit code and upload it directly to the 
site. There are so many easy ways to break the site. You should be storing 
your code in a version control system, and exporting and deploying from 
there. FTPing code to the live server is a disaster waiting to happen.

Looking for IDE + FTP

2011-02-08 Thread Karen McNeil

I have three Django sites that I've been working on recently and I've
been doing most of the development work in Dreamweaver.  I don't use
any of the wysiwyg features (or, pretty much, any of the Dreamweaver
program features), but I like it because I can do all the the code
edits and the FTP transfers all in one program.  I like being able to
grab a remote file, make some code changes, save and upload all at
once, and view a nice graphical display of the file structure for the
local and remote sites.

Problem is, Dreamweaver's code view is definitely not built for
Python, and it doesn't look like they have any plans to support it any
time in the foreseeable future.  Which means that I get no color-
coding of the code, and I'm constantly getting indentation errors.

I've always had Dreamweaver on my computer (a Mac) and so have never
used a separate FTP program, and the only IDE I've ever used is IDLE.
I used IDLE when I was first learning Python, but now that I'm working
with the websites, I find it much more convenient to just open the
files from within DW.  Does anyone know of another, Python-friendly,
program that I could use for both code-editing and ftp?

Re: Slow performance with Django when connected to Oracle

2011-02-08 Thread dw314159

Ian,

Thank you for the prompt reply!

I am observing the same behavior in the Django shell. Here the actual
query runtime is about the same between Oracle and PostgreSQL back-
ends, but the total turnaround time is about 18 times longer with
Oracle. I believe the following code demonstrates this case:

from django.db import connection
import minilims.log.models as log
import time
time_list = []
for n in range(0, 20):
 t1 = time.time()
 entries = log.Param.objects.filter(log = 6).order_by('stuff', 'id')
 entry = [x for x in entries]
 t2 = time.time()
 time_list.append(t2 - t1)
print len(connection.queries), 'queries ran.'
average_time = sum(time_list) / len(time_list)
# display minimum, average, and maximum turnaround time
print min(time_list), average_time, max(time_list)
# display average query time
print sum([float(x['time']) for x in connection.queries]) /
len(connection.queries)

The above code in the shell using a PostgreSQL backend reports:

>>> # display minimum, average, and maximum turnaround time
>>> print min(time_list), average_time, max(time_list)
0.203052997589 0.211852610111 0.234575033188
>>>
>>> # display average query time
>>> print sum([float(x['time']) for x in connection.queries]) / 
>>> len(connection.queries)
0.0557

However, running the same code with an Oracle back-end, after
restarting the shell, results in:

>>> # display minimum, average, and maximum turnaround time
>>> print min(time_list), average_time, max(time_list)
3.59030008316 3.64263659716 4.33223199844
>>>
>>> # display average query time
>>> print sum([float(x['time']) for x in connection.queries]) / 
>>> len(connection.queries)
0.05825

Any ideas?

Thanks!

The correct way to send messages

2011-02-08 Thread Daniele Procida

In the clean() of an admin form I want to give the user some warnings.
So this is what I do in the admin -

class SomeForm(forms.ModelForm):
class Meta:
model = SomeModel

def clean(self):
self.warnings = []

self.warnings.append("Warning: you seem to be confused.")

return self.cleaned_data


class SomeModelAdmin(admin.ModelAdmin):
form = SomeForm

def response_change(self, request, obj):
for warning in SomeForm.warnings:
messages.warning(request, warning)

return super(SomeModelAdmin, self).response_change(request, obj)

Is that the correct way to do it? It works, but is that how it is
supposed to be done?

Thanks,

Daniele

You're testing for the keys, instead of the values.

You have a single radio button, whose name is "rLkIn" (any reason you can't 
use readable names?). So that's the key in request.POST. The value will be 
the selected button:

if request.POST.get('rLKln') == 'rcontainsLkln'

However, you really really should learn Django forms, which does all this 
for you.

ModelAdmin.filter_horizontal in class without m2m relation declared

2011-02-08 Thread galago

To precise:
I have 2 models:

class Job(models.Model):
name = models.CharField(max_length=150, unique=True)
slug = models.SlugField(max_length=150, unique=True)
class JobType(models.Model):
name = models.CharField(max_length=150, unique=True)
slug = models.SlugField(max_length=150, unique=True)
job = models.ManyToManyField(Job, blank=True)

In admin.py I want to make some customizations:

class JobTypeAdmin(admin.ModelAdmin):
prepopulated_fields = {'slug': ('name',)}
filter_horizontal = ('job',)

 All is fine. Is it possible, to add filter_horizontal to Job model. What i 
mean: In Job edit want to have all job types displayed with nice 
filter_horizontal and with ability to manage it as it should?

Thanks in advance.

Ordering/sort_by from a custom method

Dear Gurus,

I've made a custom method for getting the score (from django-voting)
for a giving Model:

class Link(models.Model):
episode = models.ForeignKey("Episode", related_name="links")
url = models.CharField(max_length=255, unique=True, db_index=True)

def __unicode__(self):
return self.url

def get_score(self):
return Vote.objects.get_score(self)['score']

Now I want to make a custom manager to getting the top-scored links
for the given episode. AFAIK, you can't sort by a custom method, so
I'm trying to apply the ordering through sorted(), like this links
says:

http://stackoverflow.com/questions/981375/using-a-django-custom-model-method-property-in-order-by
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/883575/custom-ordering-in-django

So, what I have now is this:

class LinkGetTopScores(models.Manager):
def get_top_score(self):
return sorted(self.filter(episode=self.episode), key=lambda n:
n.get_score)

class Link(models.Model):
episode = models.ForeignKey("Episode", related_name="links")
url = models.CharField(max_length=255, unique=True, db_index=True)
get_top_score = LinkGetTopScores()


So of course this isn't working because of the self.episode stuff...
But I've to filter somehow by episode (the ForeignKey), and I don't
know how. Is there anyway of doing this?? What I'm doing is right or
there would be an easier way of doing this?

Thank you,
Andres

My first piece of advice is discover the return key on your keyboard.

The second is to ask a question.

Well, the first thing to see when deploying a django project is the
settings.py file. Here you'll see the database information.

Then the second step will be testing it (with the command python
manage.py runserver, it should start the development server, NOT for
using in production).

The last thing will see the Apache configuration, and it'll depend if
you're using wsgi or fcgi... More information here:
http://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/howto/deployment/
http://www.djangobook.com/en/beta/chapter21/

Hope it isn't that difficult, you can see the configs from the old
server, right?

Good luck!

Hello. I hope someone is maybe having a slow day and can spend a
little time with me. Here's the whole story: Several months ago, our
company started a django project. This project was headed by one man.
Well, as of early January, he is no longer with the company. Now, we,
the survivors, have the task of completing the project. Oh, little
more background: Everything was set up on an Amazon cloud server. I
think originally the project seemed simple enough to be run on a
“small cloud”. So, here is where we are at now:  This one report
actually turned out to be a monster and took several hours to run.
That’s not good; that report needs to run in a few minutes with more
data being processed. So, I created a “large cloud” (with AutoScaling,
a feature not available to small clouds), installed Apache, PHP,
MySQL, Python, and Django. I used SCP to copy the data from one server
to another. Now, I need to align the configuration files to make it
all work on the new server. This is where I need help. The small
server was a Ubuntu distro and the large is a SUSE Enterprise 64-bit

Problem with 'resolve' in non-root Apache installations

2011-02-08 Thread Rodrigo

Hi.

I'm stuck with a problem concerning the 'resolve' and 'reverse'
functions.

urls.py:
urlpatterns = patterns('',
  (r'^points/', include ('points.urls')),
  (r^deliveries/, include ('deliveries.urls'))
)

points/urls.py
urlpatterns = patterns('points.views',
  (r'^(?P\d+)/$', 'point_dispatch')
)

deliveries/urls.py
urlpatterns = patterns('deliveries.views',
  (r'^(?P\d+)/confirmed/$',
'delivery_confirmed_conflicts_dispatch')
)

In one of the templates in the 'points' app I use the {% url %} tag to
generate the url of a Point.
Afterwards, that url is sent in a POST request to the 'deliveries' app
to confirm that the point is conflictive.

The problem arises when I run the application in a non-root
environment in Apache
(with 'WSGIScriptAplias /conflictsapp /path_to_my_django.wsgi')

Then, the '%{ url }%' tag and the 'reverse' function honor the
SCRIPT_NAME sent by mod_wsgi and return urls of the form '/
conflictsapp/points//

However, the 'resolve' function does not take into account
SCRIPT_NAME, and when I run 'resolve' against one of the mentioned
urls it throws a 404. So far I've solved it by stripping SCRIPT_NAME
before calling 'resolve' but I don't think that's optimal.

Is this a normal behavior, or am I misunderstunding reverse and
resolve?

Thanks in advance.

Kind regards,
Rodrigo.

form.Fields normalize to a python value. That python value must be
assignable to the model field you are trying to update. You cannot
assign a string to a foreign key field, it expects an instance of the
object that it is a foreign key for.

The solution is to use field that normalizes to the correct value, in
this case a ModelChoiceField. If you don't want it to appear, you can
still use a HiddenInput widget, but it must be a ModelChoiceField if
you want to assign it to a foreign key field.

How To Populate A Dropdown List

2011-02-08 Thread hank23

I have coded a form which will display some data in a dropdown
selection box. The data is being populated from a a queryset that I
have setup in the form's code. However the entries in the dropdown
only display as objects of the table from which they're being
retrieved, and don't display the actual field data that I was hoping
to have it display. So how do I specify in the form which of the table
fields is to be the display field and which is suppoed to be the
underying key value to be passed when and entry is selected? Thanks
for the help.

admin users permissions question

2011-02-08 Thread jean polo

hi

I created some User Profile in my app.
Each user can add some posts and now I'd like one user to be able to
view/modify only his/her posts in the admin, and not the posts from
other users.
I have no idea about how to do this.

Any hint or link to a tutorial/doc would be very helpful, so far I can
only list all posts for all users (in the admin of course).

thanks !

Class-based views & authentication

2011-02-08 Thread Pascal Germroth

Hi,

I'm new to Django, but since this project will take a while I'm already
using 1.3 alpha since it will probably be released when I'm done…

As I understand it, the preferred method now are class-based views. But
I seem to be missing some kind of AuthenticationMixin… right now, have
to override `dispatch`, add the authentication decorator as one would
for function views, and call super.

To make things a bit easier, I'm about to write my own mixin for that so
I only have to provide a method that checks if credentials are OK.


Or am I doing this completely wrong?

As I was saying, Satchmo is likely the way go to. However, don't

If you're not competent to support your customers in Django, use
another tool. Learn Django and implement a Satchmo store to teach
yourself, then when you know what you're doing you can offer to
maintain Django sites for your customers.

Satchmo is a mature (nearly) out-of-the-box shop solution which is
well suited to many shops. It has a history of being a bit hard to
install, but I hear that has changed in the last months. Its community
is helpful too.

Nevertheless, its sheer size might be a bit too much for a beginner,
and if you do not need everything Satchmo offers you might be happier
with a simpler app such as Plata:

http://readthedocs.org/docs/plata-django-shop/en/latest/index.html
https://github.com/matthiask/plata/

(Yay, promoting my own projects. I eat my own dogfood, though)

You'll find a lot of blog applications around. Some only allow posting

You might want to take a look at django-social-auth or

I think you have installed Django 1.0 and are following the tutorial
for Django 1.2.

As someone for whom performing magic is a hobby, I'm compelled to
point out this secret all magicians know:

There's no such thing as magic.

Therefore, if you want the appearance of magic you must be
well-prepared. If you "look at the other hand" when Django's magic
happens with model inheritance, you'll see contenttypes doing its
dirty work.

Django actually closes the connection after each HTTP request, not
each individual query.  This means that if you were running your
timing tests in a request-less environment (i.e. through the Django
shell), you would not expect to see any slowdown caused by this.  It
also means that if you are running more than a few queries to serve
each request, the overall effect may be less noticeable.

Have you tried tracing the code during a request?  It would be helpful
to have at least a general idea of where it's spending so much time.

Ian

problem with tutorial

 Hi, 

I startet exploring django today and I'm currently stuck.
Right now I'm doing the 3 part of the tutorial, where it says Design
your URLs.

I editet the urls.py so it looks like this:

from django.conf.urls.defaults import *

from django.contrib import admin
admin.autodiscover()

urlpatterns = patterns('',
(r'^polls/$', 'polls.views.index'),
(r'^polls/(?P\d+)/$', 'polls.views.detail'),
(r'^polls/(?P\d+)/results/$', 'polls.views.results'),
(r'^polls/(?P\d+)/vote/$', 'polls.views.vote'),
(r'^admin/', include(admin.site.urls)),
)

Now if i go tho http://localhost:8000/polls/ i get the following error:


AttributeError: 'AdminSite' object has no attribute 'urls'

Can anyone tell me what i did wrong ?!

E-commerce site

2011-02-08 Thread Arun K.Rajeevan

Hi all,
I was a java programmer before I started to code in python.
For the last 1yr I use python and loves it.

I'm new to django, but tried django tutorial and used web2py before for a 
few websites.
Now, I had a bid for an e-commerce site.

I don't want to go for magneto or the like, because I don't know PHP nor do 
I like to use that language.
The one e-commerce solution I found and looks promising is Stachmo 
 http://www.satchmoproject.com/
which is django based.

How stable that project is? Or do you recommend the use of it?
Is there any other python  based solutions?

If I choose to go for stachmo, I'm most likely sure that I'll end up with 
lots of problems because I'm not that familiar with django, can I hope to 
get some good support from you guys (I heard a lot about django-users group 
is very supportive) so that I will not end up in bad customer reputations? 
!!

I need:
* an e-commerce site (not complex, we may have a max of 20 different 
products), 
* a forum with support, downloads/updates, product registration, Personal 
account page/shipping details/preferences/etc, 
* a blog
* social media integration

Please suggest a starting point, and django applications that can be 
integrated to create this product in a rapid manner.
Also, if you suggest the use of an ide, please mention which one. currently 
I'm happy with geany (a text editor + some more)
Don't worry about the fact I'm new to django, I'm fast to adapt.

Looking for reusable adressbook/contacts apps

2011-02-08 Thread Christian Gagneraud


Hi there,

Trying not to reivent the wheel, I'm looking for some contact 
management django app in a professional context (clients, manufaturer, 
...).
I'm looking for something providing a company, office, employee, and 
allowing to manage international addresses, phone, fax, email, IM, 
websites.
I'm looking for something simple. Of course I could roll my own, it 
doesn't seem complicated, but as all these "doesn't seem complicated" 
things, I'm sure I'll have to spend some time especially regarding the 
international address support.


So far I've found:
http://code.google.com/p/django-contactinfo
https://github.com/mthornhill/django-postal
http://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/ref/contrib/localflavor
https://github.com/myles/django-contacts
https://bitbucket.org/jdriscoll/django-addressbook

Does anyone have any feedback on any of these?
django-addressbook seems the most promising to me.

Thanks,
Chris

If you refer to the documentation I linked to[1]

"""
add(obj1[, obj2, ...])¶
Adds the specified model objects to the related object set.

Example:

>>> b = Blog.objects.get(id=1)
>>> e = Entry.objects.get(id=234)
>>> b.entry_set.add(e) # Associates Entry e with Blog b.
"""

Please go read the documentation. You do not create M2M links by
passing them to the object constructor, you add them to the object
post construction.

1) Use a ModelForm, which would do this for you. [1]
2) M2Ms aren't created when you create the initial instance of an
object, you must first create the object, and then relate it.
Semantically, creating an M2M link between two objects is creating a
row in a links table between them, with the row containing the primary
key of one object and the primary key of the other object. Therefore,
both objects must exist in the database before you can link them, and
your question is simply "How do I create an M2M link between two
objects", which is well answered in the docs [2].

It's fundamental to Python programming generally - and, I would have 
thought, Java and Ruby (although not PHP) - that if you want access to an 
object in a scope, you need to pass it into that scope. In order for you to 
access request.session within that __init__ method, you'll need to 
explicitly make the request object available there, which means passing it 
in when you initialise the form.

I usually do it like this:

class MyForm(forms.ModelForm):
def __init__(self, *args, **kwargs):
request = kwargs.pop('request')
super(TeacherForm, self).__init__(*args, **kwargs)
...etc...

now initialise the form in your view:

form = MyForm(request=request)

Explicit is better than implicit. If you want models from app 'base'
installed on your system, you add the 'base' app to INSTALLED_APPS.
Otherwise, its a series of $MAGIC working out what apps/DB tables are
required, and $MAGIC is never good - might as well be using rails.
