But not for User.full_name, which is what are trying to access (and
subsequently failing while doing) in the __unicode__() method for the
Employee class (if the code you pasted is anything to go by with).

Is there an attribute or property that goes by the name `full_name`
defined on the User model? As far as I can tell, no. You can, however,
get to the full name associated with a User instance by calling the
User.get_full_name() method.

I am sorry I cannot provide any help, but I want to chime in to second
that I have faced this issue as well. Admin and non-admin pages load
fine on the local system, but when deployed on a remote server over
the Django development server, only non-admin pages load. If an
attempt is made to load admin pages, the browser eventually times out,
crashing the Django development server.

Oh, that's lovely, indeed. The thought of using the debugger never
crossed my mind. The OP may or may not have had a slightly different
requirement than mine, but for me the task of debugging a problem when
writing unit tests and subsequently the views being tested, may become
daunting. I could always drop to an interactive shell, instantiate
objects and inspect their contents and stuff, but the alternative to
use pdb the way you have suggested is much, much better and more
convenient.

You could always tap into process_step() (a method of the
FormWizard[0] class) and alter self.form_list dynamically based on some
criterion. self.form_list is a list of Form classes that are used to
create forms at different steps of the wizard.

If you want to avoid passing in a value through the template, you
could use boilerplate code such as the following in your view function
to inspect the HTTP_REFERER value in the HttpRequest object and
redirect or act accordingly:

 from urlparse import urlsplit
 referer = request.META.get('HTTP_REFERER', None)
 if referer is None:
 pass
 # do something here
 try:
 redirect_to = urlsplit(referer, 'http', False)[2]
 except IndexError:
 pass
 # do another thing here
 return HttpResponseRedirect(redirect_to)

I have used something along the lines of that in view functions from
which I wanted users to be taken back to the page they were on when
they called the view.

The default document root directory for Apache on 10.5.x is:
 /Library/WebServer/Documents

So, I should imagine that /Library/WebServer/, among other
alternatives, may be a suitable place to deploy production-level

What's the exact error? Does it complain of a certain decoder not
being available? Does it work when you load GIF images? If so, you
will have to compile PIL from source, paying close attention to
support for different image formats.

`is_valid` is a method bound to the BaseForm class. The expression in
the snippet above _will_ evaluate to True because it will return a
reference to the bound method, as opposed to return nothing, but will
not, of course, execute the referenced method.

The porting guide[0] is where you may want to start. I have a
medium-sized Django application on 0.97-svn that I want to migrate to
1.x. The need to migrate to 1.x in my case is not a pressing one, and
will likely be determined by the amount of labour required to port
against to what extent features in 1.x will facilitate development of
future change requests if any whatsoever---the application has seen
over five months in production now, after all.

The CSS specification[0] dictates that the surrounding quotes--be they
single or double--within the url() notation for describing URLs are
optional. Furthermore, it stipulates that if the given URL path is
relative, the absolute path is derived at by combining that relative
path with a base URL which, for CSS style sheets, is the base URL for
the style sheet. However, your guess is as good as mine about which
popular browsers adhere to that latter specification, in particular,
and which don't. Having said that, I should mention that I have in
web projects that I have worked on before, where style sheets were
kept within /static/css/ and the accompanying images in /static/images,
specified URLs for images within the CSS style sheets via URLs of the
form `/static/images/file.ext`, and found them to seamlessly work across
a diverse set of browsers.

How a field in a form in Django is rendered is determined by the
corresponding widget used for that field. To that end, Django offers a
great deal of flexibility when it comes to customising both the look
and functionality of form fields. Having said that, I should point out
without sounding condescending that one can specify and configure
different supported attributes of an HTML form element through the use
of the `attrs` attribute supported by Django widgets.

For example, to restrict the size of and specify a class for an input
field, the following can be used:

 text = forms.CharField(label="text", max_length=10,
  widget=forms.TextInput(
 attrs={'size':'10', 'class':'inputText'}))

One can toss in all manners of *supported* HTML attributes in there.

I have used, in a project before, a *third-party* SSL Middleware[0] to

from saying that it has worked a treat for my requirements. You may

As I suspected and pointed out before: You will have to specify which
field of `AccountNum' (since it is a ForeignKey) you want Django to
search against. You may probably want to use 'AccountNum__username' or
'AccountNum__email'.

It is documented here:

Do you mind sharing the class definition for this model? Is any of the
fields in the search_fields by any chance a ForeignKey or such?
Despite the fact that Django stipulates that search fields be some
form of text fields, I was able to reproduce what you described by
including a ForeignKey in search_fields without using the lookup API
follow notation---I tested on 0.97-pre-SVN-unknown.

For the current project I am working on, I had to do the same.  I
ended up modifying the User model.  Therefore, I am using a custom
Django of sorts.  The project is approaching its final stages; I have
not had any issues with anything from having hacked the User model.  I
couldn't think of any other workaround.

It appears that if I move `change_list_results.html` to TEMPLATE_DIR/
admin/ instead, django picks it up.

Customising admin change_list_results.html template

[Ayaz Ahmed Khan]

Is it possible to have a customised `change_list_results.html` in
one's TEMPLATE_DIR/admin/app_label/model/ directory?  I've it along
with change_list.html, and while changes made to change_list are
picked up, those made to change_list_results aren't appearing.  I may
be doing it wrong, I am not sure.

I am using django build from svn trunk.  Thank you.

Using validators against model fields

[Ayaz Ahmed Khan]

I have a model with a CharField against which I have defined a
validator, thus:

class Info(models.Model):
text = models.CharField(validator_list=[validators.isOnlyDigits])

When using a ModelForm of that Model in a view, Django fails to apply
the validators.isOnlyDigits validation check.  If model is edited from
admin, however, the specified extra validator is applied, and works.
I don't know what I am doing wrong or missing out on.  Any clues would
be really appreciated.

I am using the trunk build from svn of Django.  Thanks.

Thanks.  You are spot on.  I am working with a very recent SVN build
of Django.  I did not know the negation feature in Q objects is
something that was only recently added.

You don't need to derive a class from the User model.  This is a
common use-case.  You should be looking at Django Profiles:

That is weird.  The negation operator works fine here with the Q
syntax:

In [15]: Bringer.objects.filter(~Q(buyer__user__id=2) &
~Q(buyer__user__id=3))
Out[15]: []

Many thanks for taking out the time to build a test application.  I
really appreciate that.  Thanks.

Trying to follow in with your example, I realised what was going
wrong.  The login template I am working with extends a base template,
and so naturally fills in blocks only from the parent template.  The
{% ifequal %} expression, for some reason that didn't stand out
before, was placed outside of any of the required main blocks.  No
sooner than I moved the expression inside one of the main blocks that
it started to work as expected.

Many thanks, again.  :)

Here is what I have been doing.  I have been required to modify the
change_form templates in the admin for some of the models.  I open the
"add model item" page, view the source of the page, and copy the HTML
to a note pad.  I then hack it, and use it to make the custom
change_form template.  I only copy and hack the HTML within the
"breadcrumb" and "body content" blocks.  The blocks above those, I
copy from the change_form.html template provided in django/contrib/
admin/templates/admin.  The custom pages I have made look no different
than the Django Admin ones.  ;)

I, myself, am not passing that particular value.  I am calling the
built-in login view provided by Django -- which is ``from
django.contrib.auth.views import login''.  That view passes the "next"
as part of the context while rendering the login template.

I am not sure whether you can do what you want like that.  When you
render HTML from within a view, it will be displayed on the same URL
on which that view exists.  You could, instead of rendering the HTML
for step2 in the view for step1, redirect to another view written
specifically to deal with step2 functions.  For example:

def step1_view(request):
   if request.method == 'POST':
   form = Form(request.POST)
   if form.is_valid():
 # save data, etc
 return HttpResponseRedirect('/step2/')

Something like that.  Also, the form wizard in the development version
of Django is looking like a very handy feature:

Trying to get ifequal to evaluate to True

[Ayaz Ahmed Khan]

If a view is decorated with the `login_required decorator', an
anonymous user accessing that view is directed to the login page with
the URL the view exists on preserved in the "next" variable which is
passed to the login view and template.  In the login template, I am
trying to match the value of the "next" variable with a hard-coded
string.  However, no matter what I do, I cannot seem to be able to get
{% ifequal next "value" %} to evaluate to True.  The variable "next"
does have that particular value (I verified both by printing it out
and by making sure {% if next %} evaluates to True).  However, the
"ifequal" expression just doesn't work.

I have no idea why not.  Any clues will be much appreciated.  Thanks

Using regex mostly complicates things.  If I have understood your
requirement properly, the following may be a better and cleaner
alternative:

from django.models import Q

long_distance = Call.objects.filter(

~Q(dest_num__startswith='281') &

~Q(dest_num__startswith='713') &

~Q(dest_num__startswith='832') &

~Q(dest_num__startswith='1281') &

~Q(dest_num__startswith='1713') &

~Q(dest_num__startswith='1832 ')
  )

That is merely an example.  You can make up different conditionals
with the use of the Q feature.
