ANN: django-overextends

[Stephen McDonald]

Hi all,

As we know, circular template inheritance in Django templates isn't
possible, and usually doesn't make sense. There are some cases though,
where it can be extremely useful. Particularly when overriding sufficiently
complex templates in third-party apps.

I've just released a small installable app called django-overextends that
allows you to use circular template inheritance if required:

https://github.com/stephenmcd/django-overextends

I recently wrote about the rationale and approach for it here:

http://blog.jupo.org/2012/05/17/circular-template-inheritance-for-django/

Cheers,
Steve

Hi,

Thank you in advance!

Django Database Improperly Configured when function called outside of Django

[Group Mail]

Hi,

I asked the following django-related question on StackOverflow the
other day and didn't get much of a response, so I figured I'd ask you
all here.

http://stackoverflow.com/questions/10881249/django-database-improperly-configured-when-function-called-outside-of-django

Is my database configuration (in the linked post) incorrect? It seems
fine to me...?

Thanks!

Brian

1.2 ModelForm.is_valid() backward incompatible change

[ydjango]

>From 1.2 release notes (backward incompatible change):
"Much of the validation work for ModelForms has been moved down to the
model level. As a result, the first time you call
ModelForm.is_valid(), access ModelForm.errors or otherwise trigger
form validation, your model will be cleaned in-place. This conversion
used to happen when the model was saved. If you need an unmodified
instance of your model, you should pass a copy to the ModelForm
constructor.

I am migrating from 1.1 to 1.3. Some of my code rely on model not
being cleaned in place. As  some fields become read only and should
not be changed. This 1.2 functionality makes those field empty. Also I
save the model and not the form in these cases.

So as per documentation, to get around it, I need to pass a copy of
model to form. What is the best way to get a copy of model:
1) use deepcopy?
2)  get the object twice from db? (slow as more db access)

Any downsides to using deepcopy? Anything I need to be careful about?

Anyone else also had this issue and any suggestions.

No, they have no relations

You have to install mod_wsgi (or use some other HTTP server than Apache,
there are a number of options). Django's runserver is based on
wsgiref.simpler_server[0] which provides a very simple server for
testing and development, it is *not* suitable for production.

Re: Is there anything like 'static' templates

Hi,

have a look at django-staticgenerator.
The original URL is no longer valid, but there is a fork here (but also 
quite old):

https://github.com/timetric/django-staticgenerator*

*i hope that helps

This is mostly out of curiousity.

Let's imagine a site containing mostly static HTML files.
However due to laziness / ease of changing the overall sites layout
and the option of using django compressor for the included .css .js files
I wondered how I could use templates and still serve the resulting files
directly by the web server (have them located in 'static' / 'media')


So is there any tool helping with such a work flow?

- Edit modify Change the 'static' templates
- running a build script (or a modified 'collect-static' script)
   creating the resulting html files from their 'static' templates

   and then potentially create the related 'django-compressed' files in

Re: What the difference of django 1.4 runserver with mod_wsgi?

[Hendrik Speidel]

Hi,

manage.py runserver is an embedded webserver for development and 
debugging purposes only.

Do not use it in production!
Use mod_wsgi, uwsgi, gunicorn or sth. for production.

See: https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/howto/deployment/
