Re: Internationalization and localization

[Radek Valachovic]

Thats what I was also thinking about to do it like that, I have couple
websites in django but still beginner learning, with django_easymode I
created entire website that translates itself just
by switching between languages /en/ /it/ etc... so I can add
unlimited...but I would like to know also your way that pretty much better
for me because I don't need to depend on 3rd party plugin..

is there a way you could send me a zip of small working example?

thanks

But the "action" and "pk_set" arguments contain this information.

You mean that the webserver that Django itself recommends in

Re: Does anyone know any blogs that write about how to quickly install and deploy a django application on Amazon EC2?

[Jeff Heard]

http://kencochrane.net/blog/2011/06/django-gunicorn-nginx-supervisord-fabric-centos55/

I would go there.  It's not Amazon EC2 specific, but Amazon's distribution
by default is a Centos-based one, so everything should be in the same
place.  Plus, he very helpfully gives you code you can use to get
everything running quickly.  The hardest thing is getting nginx running
within the main initlevel, but even that is not hard, just tedious.

This does not, however, tell you how to setup S3 storage to be Django's
file backend.  You'll have to look somewhere else for that

False. I pointed out what the author clearly stipulates.

"I’m a sys admin NOOB. I am also teaching myself to code. This is my first 
time setting up this stack so there are probably going to be some 
bugs/security issues I conveniently side stepped just to get it to work."

"This is obviously not secure enough for a ‘production’ environment."

If that's what you want to model your deployment after, be my guest. I 
hardly think it's fallacious of me to suggest someone do otherwise.

I don't care a whit about what "the cool boys" are doing. What I care about 
is a production deployment that works efficiently and reliably and that is 
diagnosable when something doesn't work. Apache fails those criteria; nginx 
and lighttpd pass (in my opinion and the opinion of many other developers 
who have used these technologies for non-trivial web applications in 
production environments).

I agree that it looks like self.object is None, so you can't set 
self.object.user as Russ wrote.


How about the following:

def form_valid(self, form):
form.instance.user = request.user
return super(CreateCampaignView, self).form_valid(form)

I haven't had a chance to test the code. I hope that it works, or at 
least leads you in the right direction!

buildbot emails the dev team with results including link to logged i/o

My project is a prototype at this point and I use PostgreSQL on the dev

At the moment I'm dropping and syncdb'ing tables but I'll use South as

I'm not ready to move code into production but I think that will be much

Re: not sure how to unpack a list within a tuple within another list inside the template

[Bill Freeman]

Mario,

While there are syntaxes for doing this sort of thing in the template language,
I would expect the template to start looking messy, and be hard to maintain.

May I suggest that you wrap this stuff in a class to provide attribute
like access
to the data that you need?  This puts the access logic in python, and makes
the template code more transparent.

Re: reverse() with keyword argument driving me batty

[J. Cliff Dyer]

Your URLconf is broken.

The (?P) regex fragment gives you a keyword argument of jobkey,
but it only matches a zero length string.  You need to include a regex
to specify what you want jobkey to match.

(?P[0-9a-fA-F]*)

Cheers,
Cliff

Social conference website?

Good morning,

I am building up a social-conference website in Django for a
university clubs' comedy-revue.

I will open-source it under the two-clause BSD license.

Features I would like to implement:
• User accounts automatically generated on attendance registration
• Ticket, Sponsor and paraphernalia sales through a PayPal gateway
• Document collaboration area (built off askbot) for Writers

I have seen a variety of Django-based conference websites. Which would
you recommend I build off to ascertain the aforementioned features?

reverse() with keyword argument driving me batty

[John DeRosa]

Hi all,

I'm running Django 1.3, and I can't get a simple reverse() with keywords to 
work.

My urlconf has this:

   url(r'^results/text/(?P)/$', 'textresults', 
name='exporttextresults')

My code does this:

   exporturl = reverse("exporttextresults", kwargs={"jobkey": returned_key})

And I get this error:

   *** NoReverseMatch: Reverse for 'exporttextresults' with arguments '()' 
and keyword arguments '{'jobkey': 
'40756766e8de9e0994536cf11773267d469c3a4ed77da53e89b8bc1de6c9'}' not found.


What's the right calling sequence for a reverse to an URL with a keyword 
argument?

Thanks,

John

Re: Need to examine and act on old vs. new at .save() time

[Furbee]

The only other way that I could think to do it would be to write your own
M2M object. Just an object with two foreign key fields to reference X and
Y. In that object you could overwrite the save method to check for which
relations currently exist for a given reference to X and update
accordingly. I'm not sure this would work for you, but it might be an
alternative, although it violates the DRY principle.

Dennis,

Several.

A web-only solution won't work.

I found the 'm2m_changed' signal yesterday, read that you can't
determine *what* changed by using it, and also ended up directed
to some open bug reports... etc... and threw up my hands.

To the best of my digging, there is no way to accurately tell
in SomeModel.save() whether the previous value of MyM2MField
and the new value are the same, and/or what the differences
are.

I ended up completely restructuring stuff (I'll spare you the
details) so that I can just say "whatever .netgroups looks
like AFTER save, make LDAP look exactly like that."  This
is essentially what Tom Evans suggested in his reply.  It's
inefficient, and clearly a workaround, but is at least doable.

It boils down in LDAP-terms to saying "replace all attribute
values for X with the following full data.  I don't care what
your old data was."  ... instead of saying, "remove value Y
from the 1000 values set on X"  :|

Thank you all for your efforts to help.

Re: Removing Save functionality from Admin

You can rewrite the *has_add_permission* method of your admin class and
return False.

Re: Primary key for read-only models

Had recently kinda the same just that I have 2 tables without a primary

maybe since it's read-only you could create a view with a field that
concatenates the parts of the composite key

Re: Does anyone know any blogs that write about how to quickly install and deploy a django application on Amazon EC2?

[Stuart Laughlin]

No offense to the author, but I would advise ignoring that blog for
the following reasons:
  # author admits he is a non-sysadmin noob
  # he installs everything globally rather than using virtualenv
  # he uses apache instead of... well... anything else
  # there does not appear to be anything in there that is specific to
ec2

Bonus reason:
  # he uses mysql instead of postgres

In fact there really isn't much of a difference between installing/
deploying to ec2 compared to installing anywhere else, so any good
article you find on django deployment will work on ec2.

Where this does not hold true is if you are looking to create the node
and deploy your app all in one step. In this case you will want to use
something like chef (or puppet I assume, though I have only used
chef).  Be forewarned that it gets quite deep in terms of mastering
all the concepts.

 http://wiki.opscode.com/display/chef/Build+a+Django+Stack

I reckon you could also do something like that, perhaps a bit more
crudely, with shell scripts and fabric. I haven't seen any good
examples of that though.

The value is does not send to the directly to the model.
Django-inplace-edit does verification, if you need a special verification
you can create an adaptor and overwrite the method "get_form", this returns
a specify form with a clean method.

See this:

http://pypi.python.org/pypi/django-inplaceedit#adaptor-api

Or this extension:

https://github.com/goinnn/django-inplaceedit-extra-fields/blob/master/inplaceeditform_extra_fields/fields.py

restricting choices of foreign key to objects owned by user

[kenneth gonsalves]

hi

note: this is in admin.
I have a model called Child. Child has foreign key to Project. There are
many projects, but each user is only allowed to add a child to the
projects he belongs to. I have restricted the ProjectAdmin queryset so
that the user can only see his projects in the project changelist. But
when the user goes to add/edit a child, the dropdown shows *all*
projects and not only the projects he belongs to. Any clues on how to
achieve this?

I'm guessing it's the initialization vector for the dict, though I'm not
sure why he used this for a non-ordered dict.

>>> dict([(1, [2, 3]), (5, [6, 7, 8])])
{1: [2, 3], 5: [6, 7, 8]}

DefaultDicts are dicts, when you iterate over dicts directly you iterate over 
their keys not pairs of (key, value). So your dict does not look like this, it 
looks like this:

{order1: [customer2, customer1], order2: [customer3, customer5, customer6]}

and there is no way iterating over it will yield anything but its keys

Either use `dict.iteritems()` to iterate over (key, value) pairs or iterate 
over it and then dereference the values corresponding to each key.

A defaultdict operates just like a normal dict in that iterating over it 
just returns the keys. Usually you would do {% for order, customers in 
final_d.items %} to iterate over both keys and values.

However I'm confused by your initial description. What you show is not a 
dict at all, but a list of 2-tuples (each containing a string and a list). 
Is that a single value of the dict, or what?

You haven't defined a form. Just calling a model instance "form" doesn't 
make it one.
Plus, of course, at no point are you passing the POST values into the 
instantiation.
See https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.3/topics/forms/modelforms/ for 
modelforms, 
and https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.3/topics/forms/#using-a-form-in-a-view 
for the general pattern of how to instantiate a form from the POST.

"Current" timezone in admin

[Danny W. Adair]

Hi,
With 1.4 timezone support I was wondering if/how django admin supports
the current user's timezone.
There's no corresponding HTTP header like "Accept-Language" so I guess
the timezone must be set in the session (looked up from a profile or
whatever).

Is there a hook that allows the "current" timezone to be set for
admin, so that it uses it for datetime display/submission? Maybe a
middleware that expects a session variable configured/named in
settings?

With full timezone support I also think it may be worth adding
timezone to the standard User model, with a default None that falls
back to settings.TIME_ZONE

Cheers,
Danny

Staging (dev,test,prod) in django

[Thomas Guettler]

Hi,

in my environment there are three stages: dev, test, prod.

Every stage has its own linux user, and all three stages can live on different 
hosts.

The application is installed in $HOME of a user with this name schema:

   proj_customer_S  (S is d=dev q=qualtitytest  p=prod)

There are some custom scripts to:

 - Compare database tables and source code between dev--test and test--prod
 - Push/Pull source code from one stage to the next.

I want to get rid of these custom scripts, and use open source application.

There are some tools: For example Chef, Puppet but they are for cloud 
solutions. Looks too big for me.

Fabric: could be used to implement "diff files" and "diff database-table".

How do you handle staging?
 - Deploy the source code and static files
 - diff files between stages
 - diff database tables.

  Thomas

You need to convert the new lines to html code there are 2 templatetags 
for doing so:

Hi

I have a column which is a TextField. When we look at django admin it 
appears as a box.


models.py
add_detail = models.TextField()

Let say you write the following text in that  add_detail textbox in 
django admin :-


 Mission Impossible 4
 Actor : Tom cruise

I am displaying this add_detail in template in the following way:-


{{add_detial}}


I have to display it in a box with proper alignment so i am using it 
in a table format.


Now when you look at the template It will appear like this:-

 Mission Impossible 4 Actor : Tom cruise

What i want is the way it is saved in admin add_detail field in 
whatever manner whether he gave whitespaces,breaks,press return

it should appear exactly the same in html. How can i achieve this ?
