django-tel new features
Hi everyone,
django-tel is an app that helps you make "click-to-call" URLs in your mobile
web apps. More details are on its github page:
http://github.com/hilomath/django-tel/tree/master
Since its initial announcement here a few weeks ago, a template tag
named "telify" has been added. telify will find all phone numbers in a block
of text and transform them into "tel:" hyperlinks. So your template can
include something like this:
{{{
{% load tel %}
{% telify %}Call 800-555-1212 to get your free gift today! (Not
866-555-1212, that is something else entirely.){% endtelify %}
}}}
...which will finally produce an HTML response like this:
{{{
Call 800-555-1212 today! (Not 866-555-1212, that is something else
entirely.)
}}}
I have not tagged any version yet. But what's up there now will be very close
to the official 1.0 version to be released soon. License is GPL version 3.
Hope you find this of value. Please let me know of any comments, bug reports
or feature requests.
Cheers,
Aaron

Re: django-tel : telephone URL support for Django

The tel filter creates the well-formed tel: hyperlink automatically. So where
as {{"800-COLLECT"|phone2filter}} renders as this in the html response:
800-2655328
... {{"800-COLLECT"|tel}} renders as this:
800-COLLECT
That's the main difference.
django-tel is more about RFC 2806 (tel: urls) than the phone-to-numeric
conversion.
Excellent question; thanks. I should put this in a FAQ or the README.

django-tel : telephone URL support for Django
Hi everyone.
I've put up a django application providing a template filter, "tel", that
helps format telephone URLs. This is helpful when writing mobile-optimized
web sites, or other contexts you want "click-to-call" to work.
For example, you can say something like this in your template:
{{{
{% load tel %}
Call {{"800-222-CASH"|tel}} now to get free money!
}}}
This will render into the following HTML:
{{{
Call 800-222-CASH to get free money!
}}}
For now, please download from the github page:
http://github.com/hilomath/django-tel/tree/master
Django-tel is currently in development, and does not even have a release
number set. But it's featurefull enough to be useful and has no known bugs at
this time (except for non-USA support; see README.txt.)
Any comments, bug reports, etc. are appreciated, and can be communicated to
myself. Or use the github issue tracker.
Cheers,
Aaron

And it depends on the rest of the social site's design. Pinax is likely to be a helpful library for you. However, you will first need to get clarity about what the precise features will be and how they are used (i.e. user interface).

Re: changing apache mod python
Hm. It involves this module Deportista. I haven't heard of it, so I'm assuming it's either a third-party library you are using, or one a module made in house. You might try this: (assuming unixy environment) 1) At a shell prompt, set PYTHONPATH to the value you included in the attached error report page. (you know how to do this? If not, look up setting and exporting environment variables.) 2) Also set DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE 3) Start a python interpreter 4) type in "import entrenatech.views" Does this reproduce the Deportista importerror? If so, that is a good clue. On Wednesday 01 July 2009 12:55:05 am Miguel wrote: > The error is: > ViewDoesNotExist at / Could not import entrenatech.views.

But from what you've said so far, there are a few possibilities. First, your python code itself should be able to work fine with python2.6. Python 2.x is almost entirely backwords-compatible as versions increase, so your python 2.5 code should run just fine. However, Django 0.96 itself might be incompatible. I know that in the run up to the 1.0 release, they had to shake out some unicode and other minor errors that reared up in 1.0. If that is the case, you would probably want to try running your web app in django 1.0, porting it if need be. Finally: is it possible that the import error just has to do with a change in virtual host settings? I.e., in the Apache (virtual) host configuration, are you sure the PythonPath setting is correct? Perhaps some library location shifted, or something related to this changed during the upgrade. I'm afraid "downgrading" the server itself - even just mod_python - is really hard, messy and error-prone. Hopefully something written above points you to an easy solution. If not, I'd say (without knowing anything about your web app) your best bet is to port the site to django 1.0. Good luck.

Re: how to disable URL auto-completion

However, the link > produced by the code above became > http://mySite/myURL instead of myURL. So if myURL is http://www.time.com, > the resulting link becomes http://mySite/http://time.com, which is Interesting. What version of django are you using? In 1.1beta, the site URL is not prepended in my test installation. However, it still does not do what you want; you would only want to encode a portion of the url, not the whole thing. The url encoding of "http://time.com"; is "http%3A//time.com". Not what you want. Right? In this example, you'd just want to say in the template: Click this (The safe filter is needed in case there are any query params, e.g. "http://time.com?x=1&y=2"; - you don't want that "&" to become "&", etc. See the template docs for the "safe" and "escape" filters if you're not sure what this means.) Now, if you truly do need to urlencode a path in a URL, you'd need to apply that separately. E.g. to get the result "http://time.com/who%20is%20he%3F";, you want to urlencode "who is he?" only, and leave the rest of the URL unmolested. The simplest way is probably to do the processing in the view code. Use python's urllib.quote or urllib.quote_plus functions on the path, append it to the toplevel domain url to create the full myURL. Then pass myURL directly to the template as above (again, remember the "safe" filter). This is the best approach for you most likely.

Do you use a skeleton for new django sites?
Hi all, When creating a new django based website, my first step used to be to invoke "python manage.py startproject". The files created would be the first or second commit into version control for that project. I found, however, that I would always make a similar set of changes right after: certain configurations and changes to settings, creating an apps directory (module), 404 and 500 templates, etc. So what I do now is I have a separate project, which I call django-skel, that is just a new project file layout with the changes I already want to make for every project. For each new project, I just export from that, copy the files into the new project space, and commit. Over time, I'll discover something new I'll want to add to all my django sites. So I just make that change to django-skel and forget about it. Does anyone else follow this technique? Or do you have some different approach that solves this problem for you?

Yes.

Not with that single statement. However, you can use this feature with
different prefixes by making multiple calls to the patterns function. Like
this:
{{{
urlpatterns = patterns('mysite.polls.views',
(r'^polls/$', 'index'),
(r'^polls/(?P\d+)/$', 'detail'),
(r'^polls/(?P\d+)/results/$', 'results'),
(r'^polls/(?P\d+)/vote/$', 'vote'),
)
urlpatterns += patterns('mysite.widgets.views',
(r'^widgets/$', 'index'),
# etc.
)
}}}
Note that the first call says "urlpatterns = patterns", while the second
says "urlpatterns += patterns". This works because patterns is a function
that returns a simple Python list.
If you do this, be careful that the first mention of urlpatterns is an
assignment (=) and all subsequent mentions are appends (+=). Otherwise
you'll loose all the url patterns that preceded the final assignment... an
error that can drive you nuts if you don't know to watch out for it.

An addendum to others' replies - since I have several django sites still
around that were made with different releases of django from the past two
years, I like to put this in my settings.py:
{{{
from django import VERSION as DJANGO_VERSION
assert (1,1) == DJANGO_VERSION[:2], DJANGO_VERSION
}}}
(If, for example, this particular django site is expecting version 1.1.)

Does a django social sharing widget app exist?
Hi. Is anyone aware of a django app that helps with providing social-network
sharing buttons to pages?
I'm talking about services like Add to Any (http://addtoany.com/), or the
Wordpress plugin known as Sociable (http://yoast.com/wordpress/sociable/).
Ideally this would be a django app you could just add to the installed apps in
settings.py, set a few config variables, then include something like {%
social_share_buttons %} in the template.
If this exists, google doesn't seem to know about it. Maybe I need to write
it...

registration module - log user in upon activation
Hi all,
I'm using django-registration 0.6 to handle user account creation:
http://code.google.com/p/django-registration/
When the user activates their account (by following the activation link that
they are emailed), what I'd like is for them to be logged in right away. As
far as I can tell, this is not currently supported.
Has anyone found a way to make this happen? One approach would be to wrap the
activate view in a custom view, that also logs the user in - something like:
{{{
from django.contrib.auth import authenticate, login
from registration.models import RegistrationProfile
from registration.views import activate
def activate(request, activation_key):
'''
Wrapper around registration module's activate view, which logs in user
'''
prior = RegistrationProfile.objects.get(activation_key=activation_key)
resp = activate(request, activation_key)
after = RegistrationProfile.objects.get(user=prior.user)
# The activation key is reset to the string "ACTIVATION_KEY" if
# the activation is successful
if after.activation_key != activation_key:
# user account has been activated
login(request, after.user)
return resp
}}}
Unfortunately this does not work: django.contrib.auth.login requires that
authenticate() be successfully called first. Within the view here, though, I
don't have the password - the salted hash is stored in the User database, but
not the plain password, which is what authenticate requires.
Suggestions appreciated!
Thanks,
Aaron
