Re: Avoiding huge IDs after deleting data

[Nigel Legg]

Two thoughts:
1.  If you are analysing tweets, why are you deleting on a daily basis?
Wouldn't a longer term view give you a better picture?
2.  Why not use the status_id field from the tweet as your id? The twitter
have the problem of dealing with it's size, and you will (should, or at
least could) be getting it in the JSON you download.

Re: got different result from same filter in requests(django1.5)

[Zhouhf]

I found, each request will call a new connection to mysql in django1.4 
while not in django1.5,
in django1.5, connections will be cached and reused by new requests. Thus, 
there be a problem,
the MySQLdb need a  explicit connection.commit() before or after every 
connection.execute() in order to
get the latest updated data from mysql (UPDATE or INSERT could be execute 
in another shell or connection).
And, the django1.5 does not do connection.commit() before any filter() by 
default.
Then, I think the next step is to find out if there is any option in 
django1.5 to do this commit()

Testing with legacy data

[Jani Tiainen]

Hi,

I've legacy database that is rather large (around 300MB) containing lot more 
than just data (triggers, stored procedures and such).

Now how I can test with such a data? Preferably I would like to load data to 
database, run test, rollback changes and run a next test.

But I really wouldn't like to recreate database from the scratch everytime or 
not to import data every time. 

Any suggestions how I could proceed?

Best way to make a view for a simple post-comment page?

[Ben Spatafora]

Beginner here looking for advice as to the simplest, best-practicey way to 
do this.

Right now I'm just piping a generic, class-based DetailView to a template 
that displays an instance of a "Post" model and all of its ForeignKey 
"Comment" model instances.

I'd like to keep things as simple, even generic as possible (seems like 
CBVs are good for this?), as the only additional functionality I need is 
the ability to create and delete comments. I'm looking to have a simple 
form (just a textarea) beneath the original post, as well as beneath each 
comment (all these forms will at some point be hidden behind a link by 
default using Javascript).

I've been trying to figure out the best way to do this, but there seem to 
be multiple possible ways, and it's hard to determine which would be best. 
Nudges in the right direction appreciated.

Sure. Use a lightweight framework.

Then you need to expose a series of API endpoints, so you add a URL routing
library to your stack.

Then you discover that you need to supply your API with data, so you need
an ORM or some other data library.

Then you need to handle user inputs, so you need a data validation library.

Then you need to handle authentication, so you plug in a bunch of
authentication and user account library.

And all of a sudden, your "lightweight" framework is the same weight the
same as Django -- except that you've had to spend a bunch of time
evaluating ORMs, URL routers, data validators, and authentication
libraries, learning out how they work, and working out how to tie them all
together.

Don't get me wrong -- there are some very good lightweight frameworks, and
a lightweight framework *might* be the right solution for your situation --
it's impossible to say without more details. Ultimately, you need to
evaluate your own situation and make a call.

However, don't fall into trap of believing that "lightweight" frameworks
are a panacea that avoid all the 'bloat' of Django. Django is the size it
is for a reason. Lightweight frameworks have made design decisions to omit
features, and those design decisions have consequences.

https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.5/ref/django-admin/#sqlcustom-appname-appname

you can provide custom SQL commands that are executed right after
table creation by syncdb.  in short, just add
"/sql/.sql" or
"/sql/..sql" files.


i guess South also provides some way to express the same change as a migration.

Rather than deleting records could you truncate the table instead? Then
you can reset the sequence with this...

TRUNCATE mytable RESTART IDENTITY

Re: Avoiding huge IDs after deleting data

[Sean Whalen]

How can the models be configured to use bigserial? I know I could convert
the tables myself, but that is not helpful for distributing the app.

It looks like someone requested that feature three years ago.

Re: how get user session name in models django??

[Bill Freeman]

By session name, I presume that you mean the name of the user whose request
caused you to call a model method.

If that is correct, then you can't unless the view logic has passed the
request object (or equivalent, such as the username) to the model method in
question.  (There are various schemes using thread local storage to allow a
middleware to save request based information where indirectly called code
can find it without the cooperation of the intervening code layers.  They
are a pain to get "right".)

instead of "producing smaller ID values" (which could potentially
collide if you decide to keep a few "old" records), try switching to
bigserial.  even if you get a million requests per day, producing a
billion new records, you won't exhaust the keyspace before several

Avoiding huge IDs after deleting data

[Sean Whalen]

I have a Django/PostgreSQL application to analyze data from tweets. The 
dataset increases by thousands of records with each request. I am using the 
database primarily as a relational cache, so I had planned to delete all 
records every 24 hours to permit new requests, without needlessly 
increasing the size of the database.

However, because the Django ORM uses the 
SERIALdata
 type to store the IDs in the DB; the IDs get larger, even when all 
existing records have been deleted. Eventually, I will run out of key 
space. What can I do to make Django produce smaller ID values?

Update to the list of images

[Hélio Miranda]

Hi
My problem is this, I have a field that is a list of ids of the images 
stored in a register.
The issue is that I want to insert an image, and then later want to add 
another image over it erases the list and put there just the id of this 
image saved now, and I wanted to update the list, leaving the id that there 
was and added the new.

My code is this:
def uploadEquipment (request, id):

 if request.method == 'POST':

 my_painting Club.objects.get = (id = id)
 print my_painting.equipment
 files = []

 request.FILES.getlist for f in ('file'):
#  guard file in GridFS
mf = mongoengine.fields.GridFSProxy ()
mf.put (f, filename = f.name, legend = 'Hi')
# -
files.append (mf) # update the list
my_painting.equipment = files
 my_painting.save ()

Someone can help me how to do this?

REST is a style of url patterns, you still need something to respond to
those requests with data in the right format:

the nav entry to be highlighted by default is a function of which page is
being viewed.  Further, I presume that you know which page to display
because a GET request was issued (either vanilla or AJAX), and the path
part of the URL (possibly in combination with query parameters, if you have
a truly complex scheme) allows the combination of your urlpatterns and view
functions to know what to render.  It follows (to me, at least) that the
information available in the request is enough to know which item should be
highlighted.

If that's correct, then nclude whatever attribute you need to on a navi
entry object that it can be compared with a value derived from the request
(either in your view, in a template tag, or (best) placed in the context by
a template context processor (still has to be a request context to give you
access to the request object)).  Use this with an "if" tag to control
adding a class to the "li" element (for instance) which, in common with
simple CSS, highlights it.

There are also schemes with mutually unique classes on your "li" elements,
the same, or related, class as for the one to be highlighted on a
containing element, and a set of CSS rules, one for each highlight-able
menu item, to highlight the "li" if the outer class is an ancestor of the
corresponding "LI"'s class.  This is messy, potentially requiring
dynamically generated CSS if your Nav tree changes dynamically.  The use
case is where you are pulling new data through AJAX to morph the page into
a new one, so that a new menu item should be highlighted.  The JavaScript
need only change the class on the outer element, allowing your to to avoid
having to loop across the nav removing the one highlight class (from the
first approach), or from the one that your JavaScript knows was
highlighted, before applying it to the newly selected "li" (mutually unique
classes are still a help to this JavaScript).

Oracle reconnection

[Jerome Cordonnier]

Hi,

I am currently working on an custom python application, and I am using 
Django (v1.5.1) as backend module to handle my database connection. This 
application basically use 3 differents thread, that all access to the 
database thanks to Django, and if everything work fine with Mysql, I have 
an issue with Oracle.

The problem is if my application loose the connection to the database, let 
say because of a network failure, it never succeed to reconnect to Oracle 
event when the network come back alive (work fine with mysql).

My oracle configuration :
ORACLE = {
'default': {
  'ENGINE': 'oracle',
  'NAME': 'oracle_database',
  'USER': 'oracle_user',
  'PASSWORD': 'oracle_pwd',
  'HOST': '',
  'PORT': '',
  'OPTIONS': {
'threaded': True,
'use_returning_into': False,
},
  }
}

I tried to use django.db.close_connection() and 
django.db.connection.close() without any success.

Is someone have an idea of what I am doing wrong ?

Thanks !

Hi,

How do you fill the JSON?
You use the Document class as Main entity ?

Because if you have a Document entity, simply use the internal
reference to the related object.

example:

Assuming that you are filling a Map and then use the map for a
quick JSON transform.

{
'Document id': document.id ,
'Related Layout id': document.layout.id
,
'Related Layout Name', document.layout.name
,
}

or you can perform a query using the Django orm, using the
document_id as filter.
Example:

layout =
Layout.objects.get(document_id=)

This is just a guess of how things works on your program... but
maybe it's a starting idea.
Or maybe I've misunderstood you problem and I'm totally wrong :D

Regards
Giulio.

Re: implement gmail type address adding functionality in django

[Fred Stluka]

Roopa,

The word to search is "autocomplete".

Check out:
http://api.jqueryui.com/autocomplete/

It is a JavaScript widget.  We use it with Django.  It runs in our
Web page, and does an Ajax call to our Django code, which
pulls the list of completions from our DB.

I want to implement the functionality available for adding email
address in gmail in my application.

In gmail,in compose mail if we type the 1st character of the email
address,it will show the list of suggested email address.The same
concept,i want to implement in django for contact name.The list of
names are saved in database,so typing any letter of the name,it
should show the list of suggested names and from that user can
select the name.

I need some post or blog to get an idea to do this.

Re: PDF generator in Django

[graeme]

I recently used Latex and it worked fairly well.

I had to write a little function to escape latex special characters, and 
you have to be a bit careful with some characters when mixing Latex and 
Django templates.

It would not be easy if you needed to insert formatted text into the 
template, but it works fine, is well tested and documented, and the results 
look quite good.

Are Web frameworks useful in mobile first world?

[zweb]

Are web frameworks useful in mobile first world of today?

With apps required to support multiple front ends including Mobile and Web, 
is using a web framework like ROR or Django more of a liability.

Would not a light weight rest framework be better?

( Note: I really like Django. It is an awesome web framework.)

Bring real data tables with FK

[Mário Idival]

Good morning,
I have this situation:

I have 3 classes, Document, Layout and Company

1 Document has 1 Layout 1 and Company ..
Document class:
layout = models.ForeignKey (Layout)
company = models.ForeignKey (Company)

I have a search page that is being filled by JSON, then the data layout and
the company is returning the ID of them respectively, and the ideal would
be to show the names of each data (Name and Company Name Layout) ..

How can I accomplish this query so that I quoted above?

Sincerely, o /

got different result from same filter in requests(django1.5)

[Zhouhf]

recently I ran into a problem whitch doubt me a lot,

I did some UPDATE in MySQL:  UPDATE tablename SET content="B"  where 
content="A";
and commit, exit shell of MySQL
then **with no reload uwsgi**
model.objects.filter() in views.py just got different result in 
requests，like：
(request1)   http://.../request/:   --- got -->  {"id": 1, 
"content": "A"}
(request2)   http://.../request/:   --- got -->  {"id": 1, 
"content": "B"}
(request3)   http://.../request/:   --- got -->  {"id": 1, 
"content": "A"}
(request4)   http://.../request/:   --- got -->  {"id": 1, 
"content": "A"}
(request5)   http://.../request/:   --- got -->  {"id": 1, 
"content": "A"}
(request6)   http://.../request/:   --- got -->  {"id": 1, 
"content": "B"}
   # this is wrong

   **after reload uwsgi**
(request1)   http://.../request/:   --- got -->  {"id": 1, 
"content": "B"}
(request2)   http://.../request/:   --- got -->  {"id": 1, 
"content": "B"}
(request3)   http://.../request/:   --- got -->  {"id": 1, 
"content": "B"}
(request4)   http://.../request/:   --- got -->  {"id": 1, 
"content": "B"}
(request5)   http://.../request/:   --- got -->  {"id": 1, 
"content": "B"}
   # this is correct

filter(parameters** ), parameters is all the same (unchanged),  but 
diffrent return,
then I test in django1.4.5,  no such problem,
this happens in django1.5.0 and 1.5.1  and ...


so I wonder if I did someting wrong or there is anything wrong with 
django1.5,
Anybody has the same problem? Or ,anyone can help? thanks!

I've been using wkhtmltopdf as well. It's very easy to use. Results are
ok, but not stellar. Sometimes the font kerning feels a bit of. I use it
to generate PDF invoices and for that use it's just fine. I probably
wouldn't feel comfortable to use it for something like an e-book though.

Hi,
I got it working at a basic level by just registering against UserAdmin.
from django.contrib.auth.admin import UserAdmin
admin.site.register(Customer, UserAdmin)
For custom fields, I just needed to add them to fieldsets.
However, even though I could view/edit users, adding new Users failed - the 
forms seemed to be looking specifically for auth_user.

Apparently this is something that could be made easier?

Is that something that could be in 1.6?

Hi,
When you add a Django User through the admin, it presents you with a initial 
screen to enter a username and password  (/admin/auth/user/add/), and then 
handles hashing for you.

Also, when you go to edit a User, it gives you a Change Password form (e.g. 
/admin/auth/user/2/password/)
I'm using a custom user model in my Django app, by inheriting from 
AbstractCustomer.

If I add this to the admin now, password is just a standard textbox, and 
obviously if I create a user through that, I can't login since I assume it's 
not hashing the password.

Is there any way I can use the normal Django User admin forms with a custom 
User model?
Secondly, I tried creating a user via the create_user() method on my custom 
User object - I still wasn't able to login to the admin using that 
username/password, which I thought was weird.

Have you read the documentation on this issue? 
https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.5/topics/auth/customizing/#custom-users-and-the-built-in-auth-forms

The docs discuss what you have to do in order to get your User model 
represented in the admin, and also provide a worked example.
If you've got a specific question that isn't covered by the docs, or if you're 
confused by what the docs say, let us know.

Yours,Russ Magee %-)

Re: Using standard Django admin User forms for Custom User model?

[Victor Hooi]

Hi,

I got it working at a basic level by just registering against UserAdmin.

from django.contrib.auth.admin import UserAdmin
> admin.site.register(Customer, UserAdmin)


For custom fields, I just needed to add them to fieldsets.

However, even though I could view/edit users, adding new Users failed - the 
forms seemed to be looking specifically for auth_user.

Apparently this is something that could be made easier?

https://code.djangoproject.com/ticket/19353
http://stackoverflow.com/a/17496836/139137

Is that something that could be in 1.6?

Cheers,
Victor

Re: Problem with static in Django 1.5 virtualenv

No, when DEBUG is False, Django does not serve or do anything with
your static files.

You are expected to run "collectstatic" command to collect your static
files in to the folder indicated by settings.STATIC_ROOT, which is
then expected to be made available by you at the URL indicated by
settings.STATIC_URL, ie not using django at all.

This is documented fully in the section of the docs "Deploying static files":

"""
The basic outline of putting static files into production is simple:
run the collectstatic command when static files change, then arrange
for the collected static files directory (STATIC_ROOT) to be moved to
the static file server and served. Depending on STATICFILES_STORAGE,
files may need to be moved to a new location manually or the
post_process method of the Storage class might take care of that.
"""

https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.5/howto/static-files/deployment/#serving-static-files-in-production

This is not a bug, this is how it is supposed to work.

Cheers

Tom

So, not using django?

That error message from mysql indicates that the data supplied is too
large for the column specified and has been truncated. Either your
table structure does not allow for 242 characters in that column, or
that's not the URL you are trying to insert. This WFM when I attempt
to reproduce your issue.

implement gmail type address adding functionality in django

[roopasingh250]

I want to implement the functionality available for adding email address in 
gmail in my application.

In gmail,in compose mail if we type the 1st character of the email 
address,it will show the list of suggested email address.The same concept,i 
want to implement in django for contact name.The list of names are saved in 
database,so typing any letter of the name,it should show the list of 
suggested names and from that user can select the name.

I need some post or blog to get an idea to do this.


Cheers!

i have used wkhtmltopdf for this .. not a django / python tool per se, but
I could make my pages as normal with a template, etc. and then point
wkhtmltopdf to the URL and it generates pretty clean PDFs .. I found it
easier to generate html / css and then have another tool take care of
converting that to a PDF, and wkhtmltopdf worked quite well for that. Your
use-case may vary, but if that seems interesting and you need any help /
clarification, let me know ..
