Hi All

I am beginner in using django framework and I'm trying to do a project 
with a different directory structure but it's not working and I don't 
know what I am doing wrong.

Follow an example for what I am doing:

project
`-- core
|-- app1
|   |-- __init__.py
|   `-- models
|   |-- __init__.py
|   |-- model01.py
|   `-- model02.py
`-- app2
|-- __init__.py
`-- models
|-- __init__.py
|-- model03.py
`-- model04.py

As I've read in some tutorials, I've updated the __init__.py in models 
directory adding all the references contained on models files. For 
example, I updated the file project/core/app1/models/__init__.py 
adding all the model classes I had inside model01.py and model02.py. I 
also added a "class META" inside all the classes I have in my models 
like this: (example for app1)



*project/core/app1/models/__init__.py:*
/from modelFoo01 import */
/from modelFoo02 import */


*project/core/app1/models/model01.py*
/from django.db import models/
/

class foo01(models.Model):

 (...)
//
/

/
//
class Meta:
//
app_label = 'app1'


/
class foo02(models.Model):

 (...)
//
/

/
//
class Meta:
//
app_label = 'app1'

/
/
*
*
*
*
**project/core/app1/models/model02.py**
**/from django.db import models/**
**/
/**
**//
class foo03(models.Model):

 (...)
//
/

/
//
class Meta:
//
app_label = 'app1'


/
class foo04(models.Model):

 (...)
//
/

/
//
class Meta:
//
app_label = 'app1'

/
//**
/
/
In the settings.py file, I updated INSTALLED_APPS adding the values 
'core.app1' and 'core.app2'.
When I try to sync with DB, nothing happens. When I set the command 
"python manage.py sql core.app1" I get the message: "/Error: App with 
label core.app1 could not be found. Are you sure your INSTALLED_APPS 
setting is correct?/".


At first glance, my guess is that you should call them app1 and app2 if 
your settings.py file is in project/core.

I have already tried many different ways to make this thing works, but 
it doesn't work.

What is my mistake? Please, anyone could help me on this?

Thank you in advance.

Importing file to Models - Temporary store to allow confirming?

[Victor Hooi]

heya,

We have a CSV file that we are importing into a Django application, and then 
creating the appropriate models and relationships.

At the first page, we have a file upload form where the user selects a file.

We then parse the file, and return a second page showing them what would be 
created, any validation errors etc.

The user can then decide whether to proceed or not (or possibly to correct 
any areas on-screen).

What would be the best way of storing the temporary interim models, before 
it actually hits the database proper?

The CSV file will be fairly big, possibly around 200 Kb in size, and create 
several hundred models.

Should I store this in the database somewhere, and label those models 
"temporary"? It seems a bit heavy just for a confirm, and I'm not sure if 
it's appropriate use of the database. Or is there some way we could store it 
in Django sessions? Or any other way to do it?

Cheers,
Victor

Re: need more than 1 value to unpack error

[Python_Junkie]

I found the error.

After reviewing my own post and realizing that I was getting the same
error regardless of the syntax that I was using, and only when I was
using a template, I realized where the solution was.

The settings.py The template directory was not set up.

It is all good now.

The calls you are showing returns lists of dictionaries. Dictionaries have
no specified order.

The order_by call you've tried in a couple of places orders the elements in
the lists, based on the values in the specified columns. It has nothing to
do with "column order".

If you describe what you are trying to achieve someone might be able to
help. You should not be caring about "column order" when using Django.

You'll be more likely to get help if you provide the traceback that goes

Your database doesn't have some content the code is expecting.

Your choice of base for experimentation seems a bit odd to me.
djangoproject.com isn't intended (so far as I know) to be a re-usable
project. I don't know that you are going to find anywhere what assumptions
the code makes about  what content is pre-existing in the database.

can i control select column order in a queryset?

[Joe Linoff]

Hi Folks:

I am a newbie who is really enjoying Django. It is a great system and has 
really saved me a lot of time but I am having a problem trying to control 
the column order in a queryset.

In SQL my queries would look something like this:

  -- column order #1
  SELECT 'Third','Second',First' FROM test ORDER BY 'Third' ASC;
  -- column order #2
  SELECT 'First','Third','Second' FROM test ORDER BY 'First' ASC;

In Django 1.3 I am doing this:

# column order #1
data = 
test.objects.values('Third','Second','First').order_by('Third').all()
data = test.objects.values('Third','Second','First') # tried this as 
well

# column order #2
data = 
test.objects.values('First','Third','Second').order_by('First').all()
data = test.objects.values('First','Third','Second') # tried this as 
well

Unfortunately, the columns are always returned in the same order. 

What am I doing wrong? I am trying to do something that isn't supported?

Regards,

Joe

how to override a ModelChoiceField in order to add FKs directly in a TextInput?

[snfctech]

I can get text inputs rendered fine by setting the widget to a
TextInput like so:

myrelation = ModelChoiceField(MyRelatedClass.objects.none(),
widget=TextInput)

But I still get ModelChoiceField validation errors on validate:

'Select a valid choice. That choice is not one of the available
choices.'

Can I disable the ModelChocieField validation or override it?  Or can
I override the ModelChoiceField entirely?  I tried using

myrelation = IntegerField(widget=TextInput) but get:

Cannot assign "123": "MyClass.relation" must be a "MyRelatedClass"
instance.

Any tips would be greatly appreciated.

Directory structure issue.

[Frederico Betting]

Hi All

I am beginner in using django framework and I'm trying to do a project with
a different directory structure but it's not working and I don't know what I
am doing wrong.
Follow an example for what I am doing:

project
`-- core
|-- app1
|   |-- __init__.py
|   `-- models
|   |-- __init__.py
|   |-- model01.py
|   `-- model02.py
`-- app2
|-- __init__.py
`-- models
|-- __init__.py
|-- model03.py
`-- model04.py

As I've read in some tutorials, I've updated the __init__.py in models
directory adding all the references contained on models files. For example,
I updated the file project/core/app1/models/__init__.py adding all the model
classes I had inside model01.py and model02.py. I also added a "class META"
inside all the classes I have in my models like this: (example for app1)


*project/core/app1/models/__init__.py:*
*from modelFoo01 import **
*from modelFoo02 import **


*project/core/app1/models/model01.py*
*from django.db import models*
*

class foo01(models.Model):

 (...)
**

**
class Meta:
**
app_label = 'app1'


class foo02(models.Model):

 (...)

class Meta:
app_label = 'app1'

*
*
*
*
*
*project/core/app1/models/model02.py*
*from django.db import models*
*
*
*
class foo03(models.Model):

 (...)

class Meta:
app_label = 'app1'


class foo04(models.Model):

 (...)

class Meta:
app_label = 'app1'

*
*
*
In the settings.py file, I updated INSTALLED_APPS adding the values
'core.app1' and 'core.app2'.
When I try to sync with DB, nothing happens. When I set the command "python
manage.py sql core.app1" I get the message: "*Error: App with label
core.app1 could not be found. Are you sure your INSTALLED_APPS setting is
correct?*".
I have already tried many different ways to make this thing works, but it
doesn't work.
What is my mistake? Please, anyone could help me on this?

Thank you in advance.

Fred

need more than 1 value to unpack error

[Python_Junkie]

I am just getting started with django.  Have been a python developer
for a number of years

I am following the examples in the book The Definitive Guide to Django
and the same error keeps popping up.


"need more than 1 value to unpack"

I understand what it is trying to say, but I do not see where the
problem lies.

I have written 2 almost similar functions.
The first works ( I know that it is not elegant code)
The second gives me the above error.

def current_section(request):
title="This is the best web page"
fp=open('my_page.html')
t=Template(fp.read())
fp.close()
html=t.render(Context({'title':title}))
return HttpResponse(html)


def current_section(request):
title="This is the best web page"
return render_to_response('my_page.html',{'title':title})

Also, in the first fucntion above I am getting the same error when I
use the {% include 'nav.html' %} in my_page.html

and I am also getting the same error when I use template tags.

It is happening in so many areas, that there has to be something
commonly incorrect.

Any suggestions would be much appreciated.

While the ultimate error here appears to be in Django code, line 23 of your
views.py file is higher up in the traceback, and that is the line causing
the problem. You are not passing the correct parameters to
direct_to_template. I'm not going to lay out what the correct parameters
should be (you could work that out for yourself by reading the docs),
because you shouldn't really be using direct_to_template there.

The common pattern for processing forms in a view is laid out here:

https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.3/topics/forms/#using-a-form-in-a-view

(Looking at that example I notice it should be updated to use render, not
render_to_response, but the overall pattern for the view is still correct.
Note that in the case of successful POST processing, the code in that view
returns a redirect, not a regular response. This is a general web
application pattern, not specific to Django, you can read about the reasons
for it here for example: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Post/Redirect/Get )

Besides not redirecting after a successful completion, you are using two
different templates for different flows through your view, which is also
probably not what you want. You are using register.html for the initial get
of the page, and regcheck1.html for the case where the posted forms don't
validate successfully. In general you should be using the same template for
these cases.

If you mean mod_wsgi for nginx, i am not able to help you, but if you mean
nginx + uWSGI, you will probably only need to enable post-buffering in
uWSGI (--post-buffering 4096 will be enough).

Remember to use 0.9.8.1 (latest stable) as it contains a much better
wsgi.input implementation.

Re: Foreign key dependent model's data not getting saved !

[CareerDhaba tech]

Hey,

Thanks Karen for the reply. I have been trying many things on this form and
trying to save both the models data using one form in a single instance. I
did try the commit=False method too but it gave an error which i couldnt

That is a somewhat misleading description of the problem since the code as
you have posted it would not just fail to save the userprofile it would
raise an exception on the attempt to pass user to RegForm, since RegForm as
you have shown it is not expecting user as a keyword argument.

The right way to handle saving model forms which have explicitly excluded
necessary data is described here:
https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.3/topics/forms/modelforms/#using-a-subset-of-fields-on-the-form

In this case you would want to save the originally-created RegForm instance
uprofile with comit=False, then set the user attribute to the user returned
by the other form save, then save the user profile instance:

up = uprofile.save(commit=False)
up.user = userid
up.save()

I'd first try running with current 1.3.X branch code. This ticket:

sounds like it might be related, and has been fixed on the 1.3.X maintenance
branch.

You might want to have a look at form_designer:

https://github.com/matthiask/form_designer

It contains a FeinCMS content type (form_designer.models.FormContent),
the rest of it isn't FeinCMS-specific. A FeinCMS installation isn't
needed either.

If you want to write a view yourself, the code should be structured
similarly to the render() method of FormContent.

MongoDB just for one app and MySQL for the other parts of the project.
I know, it sounds weird but can you please let me know if that's even
possible ? if not, I would appreciate the ideas to achieve this
requirement.

Thanks,
sanket

Hi,

Was looking for possible django apps that help one build custom forms "on
the fly" from the admin screens.

Re: django 1.3 timing out on empty POST request

Thanks for the response Bruno.

Your comment made me think I forgot to mention that the issue only
happens in production when django is behind nginx.
I'm not sure how to run pdb in this context.
Any ideas where else to look?
