So right, flask is easier and help you get job done faster. But if you want
to build a more scalable application for an enterprise Django is your
friend.

Hello, django is an awesome tool in the hands of a great developer who know
how to use it. You're on the right track because django is great for
building scalable web applications and restful APIs. I am always ready to
do my best to help as I can in the django community. If you need any
assistance or questions, you can reach out to me.

Retrieving csrftoken value with CSRF_USE_SESSIONS enabled

[Arthur Rio]

Hi,

While working on turning on CSRF_USE_SESSIONS for a project, I noticed that
the documentation recommends the following to retrieve the value:

```
{% csrf_token %}

const csrftoken =
document.querySelector('[name=csrfmiddlewaretoken]').value;

```

I am wondering why not doing the following instead?

```

const csrftoken = “{{ csrf_token }}";

```

Is there some other security benefits I’m not thinking of?

Regards

Arthur

Re: ElementTree problem saving images

[Arthur Antoine]

The image urls are being set to None on every iteration where the id 
doesn't match. Try setting all of the urls to None before the loop, then 
remove the else blocks.

[arthur sherman]

i get the following errors in the apache2 error.log:

Requirement.parse('Django>=1.5'))

but when i attempt upgradinging django apt-get install reports that i'm at 
the latest version:
 apt-get install python-django
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree   
Reading state information... Done
python-django is already the newest version.
The following package was automatically installed and is no longer required:

how to initiate an interactive python script from an html cgi?

[arthur sherman]

i have a python script which currently runs in a shell cli.
i'd like to initiate this script from a web page.
the closest i got was to have the output displayed on the webpage (w/o 
linefeeds),
but it crashed when requesting input via raw_input().
i simply did 'exec python-script-name' from the cgi.
ok, i now understand why it crashed and why the output is displayed 
primitively
it's  now my understanding that django can help.
where's the best place to start?
tnx
ams

Re: Config: DB or git?

[Arthur Alvim]

There's a really nice project called python-decouple. (
https://github.com/henriquebastos/python-decouple/)

You can store you vars on .ini or .env files and ignore then on git.
Install

pip install python-decouple

<https://github.com/henriquebastos/python-decouple/#usage>Usage

On your settings.py.

   1.

   Import the config object:

   from decouple import config

   2.

   Retrieve the configuration parameters:

   SECRET_KEY = config('SECRET_KEY')DEBUG = config('DEBUG',
default=False, cast=bool)EMAIL_HOST = config('EMAIL_HOST',
default='localhost')EMAIL_PORT = config('EMAIL_PORT', default=25,
cast=int)

Re: Django GenericRelation not working

[arthur . muchir]

Thanks Daniel for your answer.

I didn't know I could use a simple FK in this case. I will try using it. I 
didn't want to directly inherit from GenericMedia because I don't want to 
merge ContentType datas (content_type, content_object, etc.) with my own 
Media datas (description, link, ...)

So far I just see a problem I'm going to meet in my save method :

I will change my Media model to this one : 

class Media(models.Model):
description = models.CharField(blank = True, max_length = 500)
link= models.URLField(blank = True)
generic_fk  = models.OneToOneField(GenericMedia)

class Meta:
abstract = True

def __unicode__(self):
return u"%s" % os.path.basename(self.url.name)

def save(self, *args, **kwargs):
super(Media, self).save(*args, **kwargs)
generic_link = GenericMedia(content_object = self)
generic_link.save()
generic_fk = generic_link.id


But I think I will have a problem with the save method, Media have a FK to 
GenericMedia but GenericMedia have to Media, so how could I adapt ? Thanks !

Django GenericRelation not working

[arthur . muchir]

I have the following model in my app, using the content-type django 
framework in version 1.6.1 :

class GenericMedia(models.Model):
limit   = models.Q(model = 'Image') | models.Q(model = 'Video') | 
models.Q(model = 'Other')
content_type= models.ForeignKey(ContentType, limit_choices_to = limit)
object_id   = models.PositiveIntegerField()
content_object  = generic.GenericForeignKey('content_type', 'object_id')

def __unicode__(self):
return u"%s" % os.path.basename(self.content_object.url.name)

def instance(self):
return self.content_object.__class__.__name__

class Media(models.Model):
description = models.CharField(blank = True, max_length = 500)
link= models.URLField(blank = True)
genericFK   = generic.GenericRelation(GenericMedia, 
content_type_field='content_type', object_id_field='object_id')

class Meta:
abstract = True

def __unicode__(self):
return u"%s" % os.path.basename(self.url.name)

def save(self, *args, **kwargs):
super(Media, self).save(*args, **kwargs)
generic_link = GenericMedia(content_object = self)
generic_link.save()

class Image(Media):
imgW = models.PositiveSmallIntegerField()
imgH = models.PositiveSmallIntegerField()
url  = models.ImageField(upload_to = 'mediamanager', height_field = 'imgH', 
width_field = 'imgW')

Everythings works fine, excepts the GenericRelation in my abstract Media Class.

In django documentation it is said that :
If you delete an object that has a GenericRelation, any objects which have a 
GenericForeignKey pointing at it will be deleted as well.

But my problem is that when I delete an image (wich extends Media), the 
GenericMedia pointing to it is not deleted.

If anyone has a solution, thanks !

Re: Query friends of an user

[Arthur Silva]

Thanks for your reply.
Your suggestion works but I need the friends (User models) of a given user
(User model) in this case.
This join (friends of an user) is also used at several other places to get
stuff (comments for example) made by friends of an user.

Query friends of an user

[Arthur Silva]

 I want to query the friends of an User but I'm struggling to get the 
correct query.

Models:

class User(AbstractUser, TimestampedModel, SerializeMixin):
city = models.CharField(max_length=60, blank=True)
picture = models.URLField(blank=True)
cover_picture = models.URLField(blank=True)
phone = models.CharField(max_length=20, blank=True)
access_token = models.CharField(max_length=32, blank=True, null=True, 
db_index=True)
facebook_token = models.CharField(max_length=1024, blank=True, 
null=True)
facebook_id = models.BigIntegerField(blank=True, null=True, 
db_index=True)
twitter_token = models.CharField(max_length=1024, blank=True, null=True)
twitter_id = models.BigIntegerField(blank=True, null=True, unique=True)
friends = models.ManyToManyField("self", through="Friendship", 
symmetrical=False)


class Friendship(TimestampedModel, SerializeMixin):
PENDING = "pending"
FRIEND = "friend"
FAVORITE = "favorite"
STATUS_CHOICES = (
(PENDING, "Pending"),
(FRIEND, "Friend"),
(FAVORITE, "Favorite")
)
user = models.ForeignKey(User, related_name="friendships")
friend = models.ForeignKey(User, related_name="friendships_reverse")
status = models.CharField(max_length=20, default=PENDING, 
choices=STATUS_CHOICES)


Query I'm trying to make

id = 32 # I want friends from this user
friends = User.objects.extra(select={"friendship_status": 
"status"}). \
filter(Q(friendships_reverse__user_id=id), 
~Q(friendships_reverse__status=Friendship.PENDING))


But the generated query is quite weird:

SELECT (status) AS `friendship_status`,
   `myapp_user`.`id`,
   `myapp_user`.`password`,
   `myapp_user`.`last_login`,
   `myapp_user`.`is_superuser`,
   `myapp_user`.`username`,
   `myapp_user`.`first_name`,
   `myapp_user`.`last_name`,
   `myapp_user`.`email`,
   `myapp_user`.`is_staff`,
   `myapp_user`.`is_active`,
   `myapp_user`.`date_joined`,
   `myapp_user`.`created_at`,
   `myapp_user`.`updated_at`,
   `myapp_user`.`city`,
   `myapp_user`.`picture`,
   `myapp_user`.`cover_picture`,
   `myapp_user`.`phone`,
   `myapp_user`.`access_token`,
   `myapp_user`.`facebook_token`,
   `myapp_user`.`facebook_id`,
   `myapp_user`.`twitter_token`,
   `myapp_user`.`twitter_id`
FROM `myapp_user`
INNER JOIN `myapp_friendship` ON (`myapp_user`.`id` = 
`myapp_friendship`.`friend_id`)
WHERE (`myapp_friendship`.`user_id` = 32
   AND NOT ((`myapp_user`.`id` IN
   (SELECT U1.`friend_id`
FROM `myapp_friendship` U1
WHERE (U1.`status` = 'pending'
   AND U1.`friend_id` IS NOT NULL))
 AND `myapp_user`.`id` IS NOT NULL)))


Where clause should be as simple as:
`myapp_friendship`.`user_id` = 32 AND `myapp_friendship` != 'pending' 

Can someone shed some light? This kind of issue is appearing all over my 
application.

Re: Django ORM generating the wrong query for recent friends of an user

[Arthur Silva]

I still can't find the problem.  Django isn't using the same "friendship" 
joined table for both conditions which makes me wonder if it's related to 
this 
https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.5/topics/db/queries/#spanning-multi-valued-relationships

Please help.

Django ORM generating the wrong query for recent friends of an user

[Arthur Silva]

Here're my models


class PingUser(AbstractUser):
friends = models.ManyToManyField("self", through="Friendship", 
symmetrical=False)

class Friendship(TimestampedModel, SerializeMixin):
STATUS_CHOICES = (
("pending", "Pending"),
("friend", "Friend"),
("favorite", "Favorite")
)
user = models.ForeignKey(PingUser, related_name="friendships")
friend = models.ForeignKey(PingUser, 
related_name="friendships_reverse")
status = models.CharField(max_length=20, 
default=STATUS_CHOICES[0][0], choices=STATUS_CHOICES)

class Meta:
unique_together = [('user', 'friend')]



The code I'm using to get the most recent friends of user 4


id = 4
friendships = Friendship.objects.exclude(status="pending").filter(
~Q(user__friendships__status="pending"), 
user__friendships__friend_id=id).order_by("-created_at")


I also tried several combinations like grouping all filtering inside one 
filter() but the query is the same


Generated query


SELECT `sample_app_friendship`.`id`,
   `sample_app_friendship`.`created_at`,
   `sample_app_friendship`.`updated_at`,
   `sample_app_friendship`.`user_id`,
   `sample_app_friendship`.`friend_id`,
   `sample_app_friendship`.`status`
FROM `sample_app_friendship`
INNER JOIN `sample_app_pinguser` ON (`sample_app_friendship`.`user_id` 
= `sample_app_pinguser`.`id`)
INNER JOIN `sample_app_friendship` T5 ON (`sample_app_pinguser`.`id` = 
T5.`user_id`)
WHERE (NOT (`sample_app_friendship`.`status` = 'pending')
   AND NOT ((`sample_app_friendship`.`user_id` IN
   (SELECT U2.`user_id`
FROM `sample_app_friendship` U2
WHERE (U2.`status` = 'pending'
   AND U2.`user_id` IS NOT NULL))
 AND `sample_app_pinguser`.`id` IS NOT NULL))
   AND T5.`friend_id` = 4)



The desired query is actually


SELECT `sample_app_friendship`.`id`,
   `sample_app_friendship`.`created_at`,
   `sample_app_friendship`.`updated_at`,
   `sample_app_friendship`.`user_id`,
   `sample_app_friendship`.`friend_id`,
   `sample_app_friendship`.`status`
FROM `sample_app_friendship`
INNER JOIN `sample_app_pinguser` ON (`sample_app_friendship`.`user_id` 
= `sample_app_pinguser`.`id`)
INNER JOIN `sample_app_friendship` T5 ON (`sample_app_pinguser`.`id` = 
T5.`user_id`)
WHERE (NOT (`sample_app_friendship`.`status` = 'pending')
   AND (NOT T5.`status` = 'pending')
   AND T5.`friend_id` = 4)

Someone more experienced can shed some light?

Thanks!

Time zone support enabled in Django 1.4, yet "Django does not support timezone-aware times"

[Arthur]

Hello,

I recently upgraded one of my machines to Django 1.4 to patch a bug related 
to the use of PostGIS 9.1. I read the documentation on the new support for 
time zones and added USE_TZ=True to my settings.py file. Nonetheless, when 
I attempt to load data into my PostGIS database in one of the following 
ways, I receive a ValueError: Django does not support timezone-aware times. 
The full traceback is posted at the end.

In the clean() method of my model:
self.datetime = datetime.datetime.combine(self.date, 
self.time).replace(tzinfo=UTC())

Or in the handle() method of a Command instance:
data_dict['datetime'] = datetime.datetime.combine(data_dict['date'], 
data_dict['time']).replace(tzinfo=UTC())

Traceback (most recent call last):

Following "first app" tutorial -- admin site can't find css files

[Arthur]

I'm using svn install.  I am using the same virtualhost for django and
static files, with ADMIN_MEDIA_PREFIX set to '/media/', which I
believe was the default.

The admin app works fine so far, but the server gives me a 404 on the
css files:

  Using the URLconf defined in testproject.urls,
  Django tried these URL patterns, in this order:
  ^admin/
  The current URL, media/css/base.css, didn't match any of these.

Can anyone help me with this problem?  I really don't understand how
the ADMIN_MEDIA_PREFIX interacts with the urlconf settings.

Thank you,
Arthur

Even if you patch django and add request argument to get_template you
also should rewrite all aplication views to push their requests into
get_template.

It's quite simple to only patch views in applications and make them
working with your themes.

Re: Apply decorator to view functions in third-party apps?

[Arthur Metasov]

Ok, moving this code to decoration function really good.
And now do you want to add this template selection logic into third-party
apps you using in this project?

I have no idea.

As i remember this is called monkey-patching

>>> import test
>>> def heh(func):
...  def helper():
...   print "y"
...   func()
...  return helper
...
>>> test.a()
x
>>> test.a = heh(test.a)
>>> test.a()
y
x
>>>

you can remotely replace functions in any views.py with your own. For
example

from third_party_app import views as third_party_views
for attr_name in dir(third_party_views):
view = getattr(third_party_views, attr_name)
if callable(view):
setattr(third_party_views, attr_name, decorator(view))

BUT! Third-party app is using django's get_template and select_template
functions to retrieve a template.
There we have function call with hard-coded template name. And we cannot
change it. We can monkey-patch function in the module but it also will have
no information about HttpRequest...

All I can see here is trying to decorate view with decorator setting global
variable in that views module to current request. Then decorating function
get_template to pick this global variable, use it and hope django is
non-threaded =)

Re: how to get back to a view requiring login

[Arthur Metasov]

as for me, @login_required decorator redirects to
http://localhost/accounts/login/?next=/path/
if you use generic view to display login page it will automatically redirect
user to /path/ after login.

Re: Apply decorator to view functions in third-party apps?

[Arthur Metasov]

You should carefully look at the code of django template loaders.
What do you mean? Dou you want template paths to be stored in the database
and dinamically change? Or do you want to use 3rd-party app but change
template dirs it is looking for?

Re: Uploading an Image.

[Arthur Metasov]

If you use distribution with apparmor try to stop it (/etc/init.d/apparmor).

If the problem disappears, find apparmor config for apache and add there

/home/Djangoprojects/ rw,
/home/Djangoprojects/** rw,
/home/Djangoprojects/imageupload/** rw,

Re: Unicode question

[arthur debert]

Hi Rob.

After the unicode branch merge django expects and produces unicodes
objects throughout.

A detail how to port guide is here:
http://code.djangoproject.com/wiki/UnicodeBranch#PortingApplicationsTheQuickChecklist

In this specific case, you can call "lower" directly on your unicode
object:
"cur_month.lower()" instead of "str.lower(cur_month)"

Cheers
Arthur

Re: Using Django to generate Flash/Flex content

[arthur debert]

I'll second Patrick's opinion.

It's an interesting idea, but I doubt it will be practical at all to
put together classes at the backend and make that into an application
somehow. You're probably better off developing modules, precompiled
swf with functionality and a shell loading what modules you will have
on a given app. That information , plus data for these modules can
easily be generated from django as xml, json even amf.

I do think, however of two, kind of far fetched cases for dynamic
compiling:
a) Generating flex swfs by a gui editor at the browser, effectivily
recreating some of FlexBuilder's functionality. You could develop a
Drag and Drop GUI editor that uses django to output the mxml an have
that fed to the compiler to generate a swf file.
b) Having assets embedded into a swf, to make it easier to deal with
preloading and reduce latency for a large number of small files

Regarding swf dynamic generation the Mtasc compiler that Patrick
mentioned is great. Also for AS2 there's swf mill that could create a
library of swf files from an xml.
Also, Adobe has an Apache module for the compiler:
http://labs.adobe.com/wiki/index.php/Flex_Module_for_Apache_and_IIS

I have no idea how stable or buggy that is, but it might be
interesting.

Cheers
Arthur

Re: Using Django to generate Flash/Flex content

[arthur debert]

Hi Sam.

As someone who codes Actionscript for a living, I can understand where
you are coming from.
>

Depends of what you mean by "more sophisticated".
Flash content can't be indexed by search engines for example. How many
websites do you think can afford to be excluded from search engines?
Flash content requires more processing, besides a proprietary plugin.
This means that for example, people on a 64 bit linux can't read flash
content. iPhone can't either. As the number of people accessing the
web through different devices grow this will be more and more of an
issue . (don't even get me started on flash lite)
Flash content can't be cut and paste normally (browser menus or
browser shortcuts).
Flash content, out of the box, will break the browser's back button.
Flash content, out of the box, will not allow deep linking.

If you take these into consideration you'll see that one of this
issues excludes flash from a lot of projects. When you add them up,
you realize that very, very few sites can rely heavily on flash at
all.

Flash is great for "entertainment sites", or "advertainment". Site
where the wow factor is more important than actual content. Otherwise
flash is great as small pieces: a video player (youtube), a photo
slideshow (flickr)... etc.
Relying in flash to deliver "hard" content (text, navigation... etc)
immediately excluded your content from a lot of technologies and a lot
of users.

>
> But Flash now has a free command line compiler, so it is easy to
> manufacture SWF's from scratch in a Python program.
A " free command line compiler" means free as in beer, it still is
proprietary. If adobe decides to change it's mind on the next release,
or change licensing, it can. The mxmcl compiler, for example, loads
the jvm every-time. This means that if you wish to compile swf files
dynamically you'll be dealing with a couple of seconds of wait, plus a
large memory overhead for each request.

Also, note that your post is too vague. Django "generating flash
content" can mean, among other things:
a) django generates dynamic data, such as the description for a
slideshow. this can be done in xml or JSON, which django has excellent
support for, and it's very straight forward to extend for you specific
use (I've done quite a few of those)
b) django serializing data with AMF. For this check:
http://djangoamf.sourceforge.jp/index.php?DjangoAMF_en
and
http://cheeseshop.python.org/pypi/flashticle
c) django acting as Flash Comm. This involves reverse engeniering
protocols, flv compression and more. (I'd love to use one of these
though, specially live video enconding)
d) django acting as a xml socket server, such as unit (from moock)

The point is, flash has a lot of limitations. Papervision is cool, but
it's not meant at all to replace html. Their weblog for example is
html , and so is the mailing list.
Before people realize javascript could make web apps much more
dynamic, flash seemed like the only option for making apps more
responsive. Today, ajax has killed a lot of reasons to use flash (page
reloading, progress indicator etc). Besides for specific use of rich
media (again video, audio.. etc) and visual effects (papervision and
genereal BitmapData voodo) there's no reason to use flash, and most
hackers doing dynamic websites don't need those things at all.

Also notice than having django acting as a magic backend solution for
issues b), c) and d) is kind of moot. The largest, by far , effort
would be to reverse engineer  and implement protocols, codecs and file
formats . Once that was accomplished, having django views hook those
up would be trivial.

I've done a few all flash websites with django in the back end. I'm
pretty happy using JSON to send data in and out (I hope to  try amf
soon). I did wish there was something like Flash Communication Server
open source and written in python but I am not holding my breath for
it. If you think most data send to flash can easily be xml, JSON on
html (variables to the embed tag) django is well suited for feeding
flash content.

Arthur

newforms: bound forms and prefix parameters

[arthur debert]

Hi Folks,

While implementing a form with edit inline like functionality, I've
hit a wall. In order to tell apart each inline model, I am using the
"prefix" parameter to instantiate the form. It works, but if it's a
bound form (whether from instance or getting values from a dict), if I
pass it a prefix, the rendered form shows empty values. This is easy
to test:

def test_prefix(request):
 f = forms.form_for_instance(request.user)(prefix="user_1")
 return render_to_response("test.html", {"f":f})

but if I omit the prefix such as in
f = forms.form_for_instance(request.user)()
the form renders correctly. (the html inputs show the right value)

Is there a catch here? I am sure this works, since the newforms-admin
must be using prefix to avoid name clashes when retrieving data from
the form.

Thanks,
Arthur

Re: Hosting for Django

Re: Can someone explain custom managers to me? (model methods vs. custom mgr. methods)

[arthur debert]

It took me a while to understand manager better a little bit too.
Managers are pretty useful when you have a specific query / queryset
that will be common case, and it's more convenient to place that query
on one place and avoid repeating yourself.

For example, suppose you have a blogging app with a entry model. That
model has a boolean fiel, "public". You want to allow only public
entries to be viewed throughout the site. Instead of filtering for
public entries in a lot of places (views, feeds, sitemaps ):
entries = Entry.objects.filter(public=True)

It's just easier, and less error prone to say something like:

class EntryManager(Manager):
def public(self):
return self.filter(public=True)

Then, through the code you can just call:
entries = Entry.objects,public()

This is a simple case, but as your query gets more complex, the better
off you are.

Another case worth looking into, is custom sql. Sometimes django' ORM
is unable to make some queries (or they will be clumsy / have poor
performance) so you need to resort to hand written sql. Having that
code sit in one place only makes it more reusable (and easier to guard
against to sql injections, for example).
Django-tagging app has some well though uses of manager:
http://django-tagging.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/tagging/managers.py

Arthur

Re: Calling a view from another view in the same app?

[arthur debert]

Hi facundo.

this is an issue in python that is pretty confusing for newbies.

What's happening here is that viajes is making a forward reference to
viaje, meaning that when viajes is run viaje has not been defined yet,
so it throws an exception(methods get parsed top to bottom in modules).

The fix for this is to put the 'viajes' method after 'viaje' on your
file.

Re: drag & drop for admin-interface

[arthur debert]

Hi Patrick.

I've been planing to implement this, but haven't found the time to. I
know code speaks louder than words... but I've done some thought over
this and would like to share my opinions.

live saving would be nice, but it opens up a few problems. I think
having a 'batch' save will avoid many headaches.

hm.. I am -1 on this one.
Ideally you would be able to specify in your model if you want it to be
draggable and with which field.

let's say you've got these models
class SlideShow(Model):
title = CharField(maxlength=60)

class Slide(Model):
slideshow = ForeignKey(SlideShow)
image = ImageField(upload_to='some_dir')
order = IntegerField()

class Admin:
draggable_by = 'order'

It would probably be cleaner  to set this in the Admin inner class.
It would make it easer to integrate legacy dbs and also avoid name
clashes.
Also this would make it explicit, which is good.

I'm not in favor of having another page for this. Too cumbersome. Maybe
if the model specifies it allows dragging you could on top (or bottom)
of the change-list table have a text that says "Drag rows to reorder".
Once you have a successful drop you could hide that text(with js) and
change it to your buttons "SAVE ORDER" "REVERT ORDERING"(or something
like that).

I am +1 on the whole row.

How are you handling events? Maybe if you use event bubbling you can
check if the click came from the details link and suppress dragging in
that case?

Thanks for getting this rolling...

Re: Views and 404 - render_to_response

Hi Bob.

If you're getting 404's, then it's not in import problem on your view.

>From your code this line grabbed my attention:
 p = get_object_or_404(Myclass, pk=slug)

if your are searching against the pk, this will only get any results if
the slug is the pk for your model (that will only happen if you've
overriden django's pk)

if your model has a field called 'slug' you must match it against that:
 p = get_object_or_404(Myclass, slug=slug) 

hope that helps

Re: file upload with flash 8 uploader

[arthur debert]

On macrodobe's site, there's a reference implementation of php
receiveing the flash upload. it's php, but you can have an idea of
where things are on the request:

http://livedocs.macromedia.com/flash/8/main/wwhelp/wwhimpl/common/html/wwhelp.htm?context=LiveDocs_Parts=1591.html

The flash upload capabilitie is pretty nifty... I wonder if there's any
interest of creating a FileField(flash_uplload=True) option and have it
and django as an alternative.

spako:
currently uploads are kept in memory, not streamed. that means if you
are expecting large uploads (+2MB) and are on a shared server, you
might have issues (since most of them hava a memory limit your
processes can use).

patch 2070 is suppouse to work around this, but I couldn't get it
working here.

Re: ForeignKey and Admin

What you are looking for is the edit_inline option for the event field:

class EventDate(models.Model):

event = models.ForeignKey(Event, edit_inline=True)

Re: Sniffing around django

[arthur debert]

In your model, overide the save method :
def save(self):
# get number of objects
maxNumber = 5
current = MyModel.objects.all().count()
if current < maxNumber:
super(MyModel, self).save()
#you can either pass - object won't be saved, or raise an exception

Re: Model vanishes from Admin

[arthur debert]

Hi Steven.

this one got me stuck for hours (grin).
if your INSTALLED_APPS is right and your admin inner class too, you
probably have an error on an import on your model class.

fire up the shell on your server setup. can you import your model
module?

Re: Can a custom field have two database columns?

[arthur debert]

HI Ian.

Thanks for the pointer.
It's an interesting approach though, if I did understand it, that
requeries the "raw" markup source's name to be hardcoded into the
middleware, right (e.g. 'description')?

If so, I am back to square one, for among all models I have quite a few
that must be parsed and their names would
vary (and again, on a next app, would have to changes names again...)

thanks, 
arthur

Can a custom field have two database columns?

[arthur debert]

In a current project, I've got a lot of fields that must accept markup.
Currently I am using markdown to parse the raw text. I am aware of the
useful template tags to apply markdown on the template itself, but
since reads are much more common than writes I would like to store the
markup on the database, to improve performance. My current solution is
something like

class Article(Model):
raw_text = TextField(maxlength=2000)
markup_text = TextField(maxlength=2000, editable=False)

def save(self):
self.markup_text = mardown(self.raw_text)
super(Article, self).save()

Which works, but does not feel very  DRYish, since this code is spread
all over the place .
I would like to create a MarkupField using it like:

def my_func(text):
return markdown.markdown(text)

class Article(Model):
body = MarkupField(,
converter=my_func)
# where converter would be a fucntion such as markdown or te=xtile or
rest... or any other

and the MarkupField would do the conversion before saving to the
database, on another column in the database to store the markup text.
Then when accessed from templates I could say {{article.body_markup}}
and that's it.

So I guess my question boils down to this:
- can a custom field have 2 database columns (one for raw text, and
another for the markup text)? Is this possible at all?

Any pointers will be very much appreciated.

Thanks, 
Arthur

Re: Relations accros multiple apps

[arthur debert]

Hi Fabien.
> App User:

> class Blog:

>
> Is-it possible to do that ?

Sure. Models are regular python classes, all you must do is to import
it's module before using it.
Like:
from django.contrib.auth.models import User (now you can use the User
model on you bloggin app)
If you want to import the Blog model from another app ,you can do the
same:
form myproject.blog.models import Blog # here myproject is the name
where the blog app sits.

One caveat though. If you are importing the user model, you can be sure
that i will be on every django install and you already know the path to
it.
If you plan to "plug" you blog app into other projects, you have no way
to know where on the path it will be (for example it could be on
fabienapps.blog or myclient.blog). in this case you can find out where
the app lives :
from django.db.models.loading import get_app
blog = get_app('blog')
from blog.models import Blog

Re: Creating a root object for a many-to-one relationship

[arthur debert]

won't this work for you:
class Node(Model):
parent = ForeignKey('self', blank=True, null=True)
... rest of your model...

then fetch it like Node.objects.filter(parent__isnull=True)

if you are worried with the possibility of ending  up with mode that
one root node you could do either (both seem a little hackish though):
a) have a is_root field on your model (still possible to have more than
one though)
b) implement a check on the model's save such as:

def save(self):
if len(Node.objects.filter(parent__isnull=True)) >0:
#node already exists => return or raise
raise "bad, root node already exists"
super(Node, self).save()

(or maybe implement a custom manager for this?)

As far as I know, you would have to add

to your squid.conf file. But I don't use squid, so check that first.

Re: Tagging app

[arthur debert]

Hi Luke,

Please do so.

Tagging is, buzzword or not, pretty useful and many people have / will
implement it on their own (I was mid way through just now).

It would be great to leverage on your code, and I think it would
benefit django users in general, as it could make more applications
pluggable / easily distributable with tagging working.

thanks,
arthur

ps: how is the GenericForeignKey going to work? will it be imported
from the tagging app's package, or will it go into trunk?

admin not *seeing* installed app

[arthur debert]

Hi folks.

I've just ran into a small glitch when moving an app to a new server.

My application is "missing" from the admin main view.
Everything is installed correctly. I can mange.py shell  and work on my
models and my data interactively (I've moved the db as well).
the application's models do have the class Admin: (on the old server
these wore working fine).

The main admin page lists the Auth and the Site apps. I can
change/add/delete users and permissions.

On the permissions side of things, the permissions to my app show up
fine (and are set right).

If I type the url that *should* work, such as /admin/myapp/mymodel/ I
get an error page saying that mymodel was not found on app *myapp*.

It's as if the django project was *seeing* the app but not the admin.
(all my models have an inner class Admin, this was working before the
server move).

Any ideas about what could be causing this?

Re: Slow initial startup on Django project

[arthur debert]

Clint, I believe this is a fcgi thing. Dreamhost kills it after a
perdiod of inactivity, which means that the first request after a few
minutes of stillness has to load django & everything else.

Later request should respond better. There are mixed reviews on
dreamhost and django on this list, quite a few topics bring this up. It
seems to depend a little in which server you are (I am on pound, and
haven't had any issues). But at any rate you are not going to achieve
*great* performance on django. 

hope that helps, 
arthur

there are no "magic" modules, whatever is on your path can be imported
as usual.

if you're using trunk, you must import inside your models methods, or
user module_constants (
http://www.djangoproject.com/documentation/model_api/#meta-options )

see also this thread:
http://groups.google.com/group/django-users/browse_frm/thread/c3c4a1ff076ae357/a6a38c1e23f52ff6?q=imports+magic=1#a6a38c1e23f52ff6

[offtopic] question on django naming choices for models relationships

[arthur debert]

Ok. This one is more of a "philosophy" question on django naming from
someone who's learning django, webdev and databases at the same time.

If I understand right, one of django's aim at the ORM level is to
abstract the sql level, including naming. This makes a lot of sense,
and when you see :
ManyToMany
OneToOne

you can see that the name of these relationships between models is very
descriptive and non-sqlish. they describe the nature of the
relationship desregarding the underlying implementation (which feels
right).
Now, for the many-to-one relations the name chosen was
ForeignKey

why is that? Isn't ForeignKey very sqlish and little descriptive?
Doesn't it points too much on the implementation?

Re: Using _pre_delete() to stop execution

[arthur debert]

Hi Glenn.


the thing is, if there's anything in django's knowledge to avoid the
save / delete it DOES raise an error. (such as trying to delete an non
existant object or trying to save a model that does not pass
validation). my guess here is if you need anything else in you logic
that django doesn't know about (from validators and the db) you must
implement it yourself.

#
try:
amodel.delete()
except:
return HttpResponseRedirect("bad_detele_action")

or something to that effect.

maybe the so called validation aware models in m-r will do it?

Re: Using _pre_delete() to stop execution

[arthur debert]

Hi Norbert,
this is not possible on trunk , if you are using magic-removal, you can
do it like this:

def delete(self):
if conditionIsMet == True:
super(ModelName, self).delete() # Call the "real" delete()
method.
else:
# Don't delete.
pass

A table for every user would only be advisible if the group of users
stays the same over a very long time. Adding and removing tables
belongs to the things which you normally only do once. For a multi
user blog you'd rather put the blog posts into one table and the users
in another table. The blog posts would be connected to the users via a
foreign key.

mr: DateField and "global name 'date_query' is not defined" error

[arthur debert]

I stumbled upon this error message after porting a project to
magic-removal. In the admin, if I try to get the list view for
something like:

class SomeModel(models.Model):
 title = models.CharField(maxlength=200)
 date_due = models.DateField(blank= True, null=True)

class Admin:
date_hierarchy ='date_due'

I get this confusing error:
"Exception Value:   global name 'date_query' is not defined
Exception Location: magic-removal/django/db/models/query.py in
iterator, line 479"

it took me sometime to realize that you can't have 'date_hierarchy' on
a datefield that can be blank.
anyways, I though I'd post it here in case someone struggles over this
too. 

ps: on trunk I get no error.

Re: Stupid newbie question about documentation

[arthur debert]

Hi Todd.

I guess what you are looking for is:
u = User.objects.get(username='namehere')

 but you could also:

1) fire the shell (cd to your project dir) then:
   python manage.py shell
   from django.contrib.auth.models import User
   dir(User) or dir(User,objetcts.all()[0])

2) on the admin site, on the top bar there's a "Documentation" link
(mut have docutils installed ) this is very usefull for newbies, I use
it all the time. As a side bonus you get to see ForeignKey and
ManyToMany methods also.

3) checkout the source itself, since you are using this sintax you're
probably using magic-removal, then you can see the python module in :
django/contrib/auth/models.py

ContentType in magic removal :: how to?

[arthur debert]

Hi. I am trying to get a model's content type in magic-removal.

I have a model's instance when I try :
ContentTypeManager().get_for_model(instance)
I get :
AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'DoesNotExist'

I got it working with:

def get_content_type(model):
opts = model._meta
app_label = opts.app_label
model_name= opts.module_name
ct = ContentType.objects.get(app_label=app_label, model= model_name)
return ct

(which works both on instances or classes, which seems right)

sorry if this is too basic. ;-( , am I missing the obvious?
wouldn't a get_content_type() static method make sense for all model
classes?

That's similar to what I do. The get_absolute_url() concatenates a
_BASE_URL from settings.py or from the top of models.py with
what you call get_id_for_url. This isn't completely clean but easy to
change if you remember where to look for the constant.

+1 on this one. The last time I've tried building the docs I've run
into some problems (some files gave errors where I wasn't sure whether
my setup was to blame) and the style information is missing. This
would hopefully also help to keep the docs more up to date as more
people would find inconsistencies when using the trunk or branches.

magic removal : problem when subclassing User

[arthur debert]

I am subclassing User in magic-removal, and ran into this gotcha. My
model:

class Account(User):
tel = models.CharField(maxlength = 14, blank=True)
book = models.ManyToManyField(Book, blank=True)

in a view I when I try this:

acc = Account.objects.get(username=test_username)
print "returning type = %s " % type(acc)

it does find the right record, but returns an User instance. it prints:
returning type =  JohnDoe

>From there, if I try to use it as an Account instance (such as
"acc.tel") python raises an execption.
Can any one point me in the right direction?

Re: Assigning default value for field in admin

If I read you right:
http://www.djangoproject.com/documentation/faq/#how-do-i-automatically-set-a-field-s-value-to-the-user-who-last-edited-the-object-in-the-admin

I've solved almost this problem in an app, but that's because I would
get the user from the session cookie and put it on the request for the
form to be "auto-filled". It seems there's no out of the box way to
achieve this.

Re: Extreme file uploading

[arthur debert]

Hi Andy.

Regarding memory usage on the server, AFAIK this is something related
to cgi.FieldStorage. more about this here:
http://groups.google.com/group/django-developers/browse_frm/thread/2c379ec0fa30804a/#

It would be great to have a streaming option, but aparentely this is
trickier than it seems. I guess there's quite a few people with this
kind on need hanging around this list... so maybe a solution can be
implemented.

I am not uploading anything near 200MB, but 8 MB with no progress
feeback and no resume is pretty scary for me.

Maybe at 200 MB you should try ftping it?

Off topic, has anyone seen dropsend (http://dropsend.com/)? they've
managed to get a reliable progress bar... 

cheers, arthur

Ah, much better. I've looked at the completely wrong places. I still

Now it only complains about missing templates which I should be able to fix.
