how to delete in the admin - strategy needed

[Mike Dewhirst]

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


I want to delete a bunch of "child" records when a "parent" record is 
deleted. While I'm using that terminology they are not actually related 
in the usual sense. All however are in foreign key relationships with 
the same owner/master.


The child records all know which parents they have because the parent 
added its mark to a field in the child when the child record got created 
and linked to the master. In fact if that child had been added by 
another parent, the next parent just adds its mark instead of adding 
another child.


When a parent gets deleted from the master, its mark is removed from all 
the child records it was involved with and if it was the only mark the 
child gets deleted too. Or at least that is what I want to happen.


My question is:

In overview, how should I be doing this?

At the moment I'm trying to do it all via model methods calling various 
managers because it feels like the right place to do it.


I have tried to make a custom manager with use_for_related_fields = True 
but still get the same error.


Thanks for any help

Mike

+1 for sorl. I have been using it for a while now with no significant
problems, and has made thumbnail generation a non-issue.

Sorry for the slightly off-topic statement here, but since we're
talking about Sorl :) - the one problem I've had is this:
In general, I want images to be resized in the format the user uploads
them - i.e. if a user uploads a PNG, I want the thumbnail to be a PNG,
and if the user uploads a JPEG, I want the thumbnail to be a JPEG. It
seems a bit silly, but I have not found a way to do this - I set an
option in settings.py for THUMBNAIL_FORMAT = "PNG", and then all the
thumbnails are PNG, which is non-optimal. And if I set the format to
JPEG, it will take uploaded PNGs with transparencies and convert them
to JPEGs without transparency, which is, again, unacceptable ..

I had looked around a fair bit in the docs, etc. but did not find a
way to specify something like "keep format of uploaded image" - this
was some time ago, though, so I'll check again - if anyone has dealt
with this, though, would love to know how :)

Cheers,
Sanjay

Re: On the fly image resize

[Spencer Summerville]

Hello, there are a lot of solutions to resizing images in Django. I commend 
you for wanting to create your own solution, but one of the greatest things 
about Django is that there's tons of projects that people have made that 
solve your problems and usually there's enough of them that you can find 
one that implements itself in a way that lets you do what you want to do. 
I'm not a great programmer and usually these modules are taken from 
websites that in order to function, they have had to work properly in an 
environment where anything can go wrong.

In my own experience, sorl-thumbnail has never let gotten in my way, it 
lets you do what you want and if you want to do something special you can 
easily write your own functionality. Don't want to use PIL? Use ImageMagick 
or write your own class. Have some sort of radical key value cache that 
nobody has ever heard of? Write your own class. Do you want to generate 
thumbnails in a batch process or in the model or in the template? 
sorl-thumbnail lets you choose what you want to do.

what you suggested is a difficult process where we need to look into

Re: On the fly image resize

[nYmo]

Thanks Kelly, this looks like what I was looking for. Will give it a 
try. So far my self implementation looks like this:


  def medium_image(self):
return self.get_cache_image_path((400, 400))

def small_image(self):
return self.get_cache_image_path((128, 128))

 def get_cache_image_path(self, size):
"""Create cached image file and return the path to this file"""
#split file path to list to separate folder and file
folder_file = self.image.__str__().split('/')
#get base filename with extension
file_name = folder_file.pop()

#get full folder name
folder_name = "/".join(folder_file)

#extract file extension from file name
extension = file_name[-3:]
#extract clean file name for cached file
cached_file_name = file_name[:-4]
#create unique cached file name from size
cached_file_name += "_%sx%s" % size
cached_file_name += ".%s" % extension

self.create_cached_image_file(cached_file_name, folder_name, size)

#return path to cached file
return settings.MEDIA_URL + folder_name + '/cache/' + 
cached_file_name


 def create_cached_image_file(self, cached_file, folder, cache_file_size):
"""Create cache folder and cache image file but only if they 
don't exist already"""

cached_folder = settings.MEDIA_ROOT + folder + "/cache/"
#if cached folder does not exist create it
if not os.path.isdir(cached_folder):
os.mkdir(cached_folder)

#if file does not exist already then create it
if not os.path.isfile(cached_folder + cached_file):
im = Image.open(self.image.path)
im.thumbnail(cache_file_size, Image.ANTIALIAS)
im.save(cached_folder + cached_file)

This is within my model and in my template I can call 
{{model.medium_image}} or {{model.small_image}}. Works so far but is not 
"DRY" and also still I create a copy of each uploaded image. Will now 
check sorl-thumbnail.

Any other thoughs?

I know that there are some nice packages out there where such

django setup advice for AWS Elastic Beanstalk

[Phil]

Hi,

I am following the steps here to setup django on aws...
http://docs.aws.amazon.com/elasticbeanstalk/latest/dg/create_deploy_Python_django.html

I got as far as step 6 but when I "git aws.push" I never see the django "it 
worked" page, only the green beanstalk page. I'm sure where I've gone wrong 
is where Ive placed particular files/ folders so was just looking for some 
advice/ clarification on where everything should be.

So I created my virtualenv("~/web/mysiteenv/"), activate it, pip installs 
etc. From inside that folder I create my djangoproject("mysite"). So the 
files/ folders I'm unsure about are the following:


   1. I run "git init" from "~/web/mysiteenv/mysite"
   2. Where should beanstalk folder("AWS-ElasticBeanstalk-CLI-2.2") be? I 
   had it at "~/web/mysiteenv"
   3. I run "eb start" from "~/web/mysiteenv/mysite"
   4. Where should I run "mkdir .ebextensions", I ran it inside 
   "~/web/mysiteenv/mysite" I put the config file in the ".ebextensions" 
   folder.

If anyone can see where I've gone wrong I would be very grateful to you. 
I've deleted the project so I can start over.

I do

echo yes | ./manage.py collectstatic

Django Admin or Site from scratch

[Yogesh Kamble]

When to use Django Admin Interface and when to use our template for 
displaying data and playing with data? Suppose I want to create web site

Re: DateTimeField stored as None

Changing pub_date to DateField() class worked now and now I am able to see 
date values stored in the pub_date column.

DateTimeField stored as None

[Rootz]

I made several attempts to store/update the current date in a model. I used 
both admin page and the shell  to save/update a datetimefield value of my 
model and then after querying the record it return None for datetimefield 
column.

Secondly my method was_published_recently() does not work.

I am guessing maybe its because I am using sqlite3 correct me if I am wrong?

I am using sqlite3 db engine.

models.py  

from django.db import models
import datetime
from django.utils import timezone


# Create your models here.

class Poll(models.Model):
question = models.CharField(max_length=200)
pub_date = models.DateTimeField('Date Information')

def __unicode__(self):
return self.question

def was_published_recently(self):
return self.pub_date >= timezone.now() - datetime.timedelta(days=1)

class Choice(models.Model):
poll = models.ForeignKey('Poll')
choice = models.CharField(max_length=200)
votes = models.IntegerField()

def __unicode__(self):
return self.choice

Re: On the fly image resize

[nYmo]

Thanks to all of you for your thoughs on this. I think I will try to 
build my own solution based on PIL. And then check out a already 
developed plugin and try to improve my own solution.

Hi all,
I'm new to django and also python but have already some programming 
experience. I'm currently creating my first application in django and 
get stucked because I'm looking for the best way to resize uploaded 
images.
I'm already so far that I can upload/delete/update my images and show 
them in my view. Now I want to resize the images for my view and 
thought about the best way?


First question: Is it possible to resize the images on the fly? For 
example I uploaded an image in 1920x1080px and now want to transform 
it to 400x200 or something similar when the view is being loaded? Is 
this a convenient way in django or not?


The only other way in my opinion could be to resize the image during 
the file is being uploaded. What I don't like about this is that I 
have more than one copy of one image only because of different image 
sizes.


Any other thoughs?

I know that there are some nice packages out there where such 
problems are already solved. But since I'm new to django I want to 
learn by myself how to accomplish the basic stufff :)


Thanks in advance

Regards nymo

for the python-mysqldb error, here is what I generally do:
install python-mysqldb from apt-get, so 'sudo apt-get install python-mysqldb'
and then when creating the virtualenv, make sure to tell it to use
system packages where available with:
virtualenv --system-site-packages .

Then it should use mysqldb from the one installed by apt, which should
generally work better with the version, etc. on your machine than the
one installed from pip.

Hope that helps,
Sanjay
