New to Django, Tutiorial01 not working,

[Bryan Zimmer]

Hello all,

I managed to get Django and mod_wsgi installed OK. I then followed through 
with tutorial01, but even though I tried it twice, on two different 
machines, I have come up blank.

This is the output I am getting for the first cut of Tutorial 01.

I am using Django 2.0.3 with python3.6 and mod_wsgi. 4.6.3:

Page not found (404) 
Request Method: GET 
Request URL: http://localhost:8000/ 

Using the URLconf defined in pollapp.urls, Django tried these URL patterns, 
in this order: 

   1. polls/ 
   2. admin/ 

The empty path didn't match any of these. 

You're seeing this error because you have DEBUG = True in your Django 
settings file. Change that to False, and Django will display a standard 404 
page. 


Here is my pollap.urls:

--

$ cat urls.py


"""pollapp URL Configuration

The `urlpatterns` list routes URLs to views. For more information please 
see:
https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/2.0/topics/http/urls/
Examples:
Function views
1. Add an import:  from my_app import views
2. Add a URL to urlpatterns:  path('', views.home, name='home')
Class-based views
1. Add an import:  from other_app.views import Home
2. Add a URL to urlpatterns:  path('', Home.as_view(), name='home')
Including another URLconf
1. Import the include() function: from django.urls import include, path
2. Add a URL to urlpatterns:  path('blog/', include('blog.urls'))
"""
from django.contrib import admin
from django.urls import include, path

urlpatterns = [
path('polls/',include('polls.urls')),
path('admin/', admin.site.urls),
]
---
The other relevant files, which I edited myself, following along with 
Tutorial01 are included as attachments.


I have scoped and squinted, and it still looks to me as though I didn't 
make any mistakes in editing the source code. 

If I missed something, I'll be embarrassed, but I think I followed the 
instructions entirely the way they were written.

Django server serving cached template pages

[Bryan Arguello]

I am on the second page of the blog tutorial and am trying to change the 
base-site.html template.  

I make a few small changes, set the permissions to 755, put it in
a subdirectory named 'admin' within a directory called 'template' inside of 
the project directory.  

I also add the template directory path to the TEMPLATE_DIRS variable
in settings.py and restart the server.  

After several hours of trying things suggested in different forums on this 
topic, I decided to just rename the original base_site.html in 
django/contrib/admin/templates/admin and create a blank "blank_site.html".  

After doing this, one would expect to get a blank page if the templates in 
TEMPLATE_DIRS were not found.  However, I am getting the same "Django 
administration" page.  Also, I did go into the manage.py shell and check 
TEMPLATE_DIRS: it is set to the correct directory.  I am starting to think 
this is some kind of Django server cache issue (tried clearing browser 
cache).

I can see that many new-comers to Django have come across this issue and 
none of the suggestions for these users seem to work.  However, I have 
never seen anyone mention a cache being the issue.  Does anyone have any 
suggestions?

Have you solved this problem, Andreas?  I am having the same issue and have 
done
everything that the tutorial described as well as everything that people on 
this thread
have suggested.

Apache with mod_wsgi not serving static files

[Bryan P]

Hello all,

My Django application is not serving my static files (CSS, JS) and keeps 
returning a 404 error. I have set the STATIC_ROOT to the location where I 
collected all my static files with manage.py and set an alias in my 
VirtualHost. 


Here is my Settings.py

Here is my VirtualHost file

Here is the 404 file




and the url it's trying to retrieve them from i

fixtracker.com/static/BugFixTracker/main.css


This is running in production with debug set to False, so it shouldn't be 
relying on Django to distribute the files. Any help is much appreciated.

How can Selenium see a record that I can't find from a debugger?

[Bryan]

I am creating Selenium tests for my App.
I can create a new user, but I can't seem to figure out how to have it 
deleted from the database.

After the tests run successfully the first time, subsequent tests fail 
because the username already exists.

**Why am I not able to query the newly created record in the debugger 
despite being able to see the new record on the page?**  

**How do I delete a record from the database in a test?**

class TestOSQAAuthentication(unittest.TestCase):  
scheme = 'http'

self._driver = webdriver.Firefox()  
self._driver.implicitly_wait(25)

Re: Alternatives to celery

Gearman only supports a MySql backend for persistent queues - it

Re: Form with manytomany field

[Bryan]

"Maybe what I need is something like OneToMany relationship"
You need a ManyToMany field: multiple people may have worked for the
same company previously, correct?

As for your original question, I would make a ModelForm for your
Person model (or whatever it is) and another one for your Company
model and then use a formset to allow them to enter the companies
they've worked for. This should get part of the way there:
http://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.3/topics/forms/formsets/#using-more-than-one-formset-in-a-view

Hope that helps.

I think you're confusing filter and get.

   UserAccount.objects.get(user_id=check.id)

will raise a DoesNotExist if the user_id matching check.id is not found.

   UserAccount.objects.filter(user_id=check.id)

will return an empty queryset.

So as you expect,  your not finding anything with your query.  It's 
returning and empty queryset and  slicing it is causing the index out of 
range.

Re: Authentication system

You can either put the @log_required decorator on each of the views

offer more flexibility.

validate_unique not checking parents of parents' fields?

[Bryan]

As far as I can tell, if one has three models, GrandparentModel,
ParentModel, and ChildModel, in which GrandparentModel defines a
unique field unique_field, Childmodel.validate_unique() will not check
the uniqueness of unique_field.

The fields to check are determined by ChildModel._get_unique_checks(),
which looks at ChildModel._meta.local_fields and then looks at each of
ChildModel's parent models' local fields (namely
ParentModel._meta.local_fields). But
GrandparentModel._meta.local_fields doesn't appear to be checked.
Since unique_field only appears in
GrandparentModel._meta.local_fields, it is left out of the check.

The code in question is: 
http://code.djangoproject.com/browser/django/trunk/django/db/models/base.py#L648

Am I reading this correctly? I could very much be wrong. In the app
I'm currently working, I verified that the analogue of unique_field is
not returned by ChildModel._get_unique_check(), though there's a
chance something else is going wrong. I know the field is returned by
both ParentModel._get_unique_check() and
GrandparentModel._get_unique_check(). In my case, full_clean()
succeeds when testing field duplication, but save() fails with:

IntegrityError: column unique_field is not unique

Is this a bug?

Thanks!

Extending UserManager and PAM-based authentication

[Bryan Bishop]

Hey all,

I am trying to implement PAM-based authentication in django. I am
using the dpam (django-pam) module which provides an entry for
AUTHENTICATION_BACKENDS in settings.py, but I don't have to be using
this. Anyway, I would like to fix django.contrib.auth.models.User so
that create_user & friends actually create_user via PAM as well.

My first guess is that I should be extending UserManager or User. How
do I go about doing this? I would prefer to make modifications that
stay in my webapp's directory, instead of editing the actual
UserManager class.

Any ideas?

Thank you,

- Bryan

Using all project URLs when using TestCase.urls?

[Bryan]

I've been trying to add the django-lean app to my project.

I have not been able to get the tests to pass because of
NoReverseMatch errors for named urls defined in other apps.

It seems the issue is that the TestCase defines a value for urls:

 urls = 'django_lean.experiments.tests.urls'

As best as I can tell, the tests are only getting the urls located @
'django_lean.experiments.tests.urls', but not
the urls from the rest of the project.

This is causing error messages like:

NoReverseMatch: Reverse for 'index' with arguments '()' and
keyword arguments '{}' not found.

These are triggered by {% url %} template tags in the project.

How can I make sure that the all the urls of the project are available
for the tests?

URL template tags fail in Tests but work in Dev and Production ( Django 1.2.1 )

[Bryan]

I've been trying to add the django-lean app to my project.

I have not been able to get the tests to pass. It took me a few days
with a debugger to determine what the problem was.

It seems that all the URL template tags fail in Test mode, but not in
Production nor Developement.

Failure happens is in django.template.defaulttags.URLNode.render()
line 366:
url = reverse(self.view_name, args=args, kwargs=kwargs,
current_app=context.current_app)

The error message is:
NoReverseMatch: Reverse for 'index' with arguments '()' and keyword
arguments '{}' not found.

If I replace the URL template tag with a relative link, the test just
fails the next time a URL node is encountered.

I have confirmed that:
reverse('index') call works in the shell.

What could be going wrong?

How can reverse('opensearch') work in the shell, but fail in a Test?

I'm trying to install django-lean into my application.

Open search is used in my app App.

Please list tags for this Appoingmen _ Work
 _ School
 _ Other

I need to design this so users can add additional tags later.

Appoitnemts and Tags are M2M related:

class Appointment(models.Model):
name=   models.CharField(max_length=64)

class Tag(models.Model):
name=   models.CharField(max_length=64, unique=True)
appointments=   models.ManyToManyField(Appointment)

My Forms Class:

class TagForm(forms.Model.Form):
tags=   
forms.ModelMultipleChoiceField(queryset=Tag.objects.all(),

widget=forms.CheckboxSelectMultiple() )

class Meta:
model = Tag

In my view I have also tried:

TagFormSet  =   modelformset_factory(Tag, form=TagForm)
tag_form = Tag  =  TagFormSet(query =
Tag.object.all())

This looks right when the form is displayed, exepct the form is
duplicated once for each Tag in my Db, and clearly this is not pulling
or saving to the Db correctly.

I have looked through the Django documentation, but cannot figure out
how to implement the formset correctly (I think it is a formset I need
here).

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks.

Re: Django v1.2 TestCase doesn't seem to load fixtures except 'initial_data'

[Bryan]

I just checked this again.

I changed the fixtures name to:

$ ls forum/fixtures
forum_fixtures.json

class UserProfileTestCases(TestCase):
"""These are tests to verify that refactoring of UserProfile is
correct"""
fixtures = ['forum_fixtures.json']

$ python manage.py test
Creating test database 'default'...
<>
No fixtures found.

I don't know why this is happening, but it is. :-(

Django v1.2 TestCase doesn't seem to load fixtures except 'initial_data'

[Bryan]

I am using Django v1.2

The fixture I defined "forum_fixtures.json" don't seem to be loading
when I run tests.

from django.test.client import Client
from django.test import TestCase
from utils import *
from forum.models import *
from forum import auth
from django.contrib.contenttypes.models import ContentType


class UserProfileTestCases(TestCase):
"""These are tests to verify that refactoring of UserProfile is
correct"""
fixtures = ['forum_fixtures.json'] ## @ forum/fixtures/
forum_fixtures.json
def setUp(self):
self.client = Client()
if self.client.login(username='DickCheney', password='test'):
print "client.login DickCheney successful";
else:
print "client.login FAILED"

def test_set_new_email(self):
orig_email = User.objects.get(username='DickCheney')
response = self.client.post('changeemail',
{u'email':'cockgobb...@nwo.gov'})
 
self.assertNotEqual(User.objects.get(username='DickCheney').email,
orig_email)

I ran the tests verbosely:
python manage.py test --verbosity=2

Django only looked for fixtures named 'initial_data'. Not once was
there are search for 'forum_fixtures.json'

I changed the fixture name to 'initial_data.json' and it now works.

I just thought I'd post the work around.

Sorting by a GenericRelation Causes Result Oddities

[Bryan Veloso]

Alright, let's see if I can explain this:

I have an Artist model and artists get positionally ranked. It has a
GenericRelation to another model that stores scores from that ranking.
I wanted to be able to sort Artists by their score using that
GenericRelation. Here's an example (ran this in the interpreter) of a
list of artists ranked by a specific user.

>>> items
[, , ,
, , , , , ,
, , ,
, , ]
>>> items.order_by('overall_child__score')
[, , ,
, , , , , , , , , , , , , ]
>>> items.order_by('overall_child__score').distinct()
[, , ,
, , , , , , , , , , ,
, , ]
>>> items.count()
15
>>> items.order_by('overall_child__score').count()
15

As you can see,  and  are
duplicated, but the .count() doesn't reflect that. Here's the kicker,
in the table that the GenericRelation is linked to, those two records
occur twice. I had some friends test my application last night the
number of duplicates was equal to the number of people that included
that specific artist in their ranking.

It's an OUTER JOIN, but I don't know if that has anything to do with
it, but it seems to ignore any type of filtering that I'm trying to do
to it. Hopefully that makes some kind of sense. I don't know if
there's a way around it, or if it's a bug that needs to be fixed. But
any insight would be great. :)

Cheers,
Bryan

Re: are django applications portable?

[Bryan]

It is definitely possible to "install" django-tagging on your project
path if you really wanted to.  I did this for a while and it worked
just fine.  You could export the latest version from source control or
alternatively do the install and then move files from the python
packages directory to your project directory.  Installing it on your
python path is definitely the preferred method though.

I can't think of a reason, if nothing else its a matter or taste/

Re: Custom User Model and the Django Admin Site

[Bryan]

Thanks for your help.  Perhaps I should have been more clear and
included more information, because that is exactly what I was asking
about.  I was hoping that someone had already solved this problem and
could fill me in on how they got it working.  Btw, my first post was
written in pieces while distracted and working entirely from memory,
so please forgive me for any nonsensical or incorrect statements.  I
don't have an excuse today though :P

This is what I eventually did:
When I first tried to override the fieldsets I recieved an error
telling me that my custom fields could not be found.  This happened
because the UserAdmin class also specifies custom forms for editing
(as well as adding), which are bound to the User model.  I subclassed
the user form classes in order to override the meta class and tell
them to use my custom model instead of the User model (and also add in
some extra fields on my custom model).  I could have just used model
forms, but I decided to subclass the user forms for two reasons:  1)
it won't feel like I am "short-circuiting" any framework code and if
changes/enhancements are made to the user form classes I can also take
advantage of them (or they may break me, but thats another story) and
2) the add form includes extra logic that I didn't want to duplicate.
This got me what I wanted, an edit form with all of my custom fields
as well as a working change password form.  I noticed that the add
form didn't work though.  It only included the username and password
(with confirmation), so I added my fields to the form class and copied
the admin create user form (/auth/user/add_form.html) into my project
directory and added my custom fields.  I'm not entirely happy about
having to do that.  It seems like little thought has been put into
custom user models in regards to the admin site.  Ideally all that I
would have to do is inherit from UserAdmin and override the fieldsets,
but maybe I'm asking too much.

Custom User Model and the Django Admin Site

[Bryan]

Hi All,

Just a quick query to see if anyone has any ideas on this one.

I have a model in my application that inherits from the django User
model.  In the admin site, without any extra configuration (just using
ModelAdmin), I get a standard edit form with the custom model's fields
as well as the django User fields.

The problem that I have is that a "change password" link is generated
(which is desirable), but the url is not routed properly - resulting
in an error.  The url looks like "/CustomModel/id/password".  Digging
around in /contrib/auth/admin.py (working off of memory :P) it looks
like UserAdmin does some voodu magic to hijack the request and execute
some "view logic" in the case of a url that looks like a password
change request.

It looks something like this (psuedocode):

 // inside of __call__ method
 if url is a password url:
  return result of change password method call on UserAdmin
object
 else
  delegate to base class

I can get the change password form to work by simply using the
UserAdmin class, but it explicitly defined the fieldsets (which of
course don't include my custom fields).  As a side note, might it be
possible to define the fieldsets in __init__?  I was under the
impression that the fieldsets are metadata for the class not the
instance.  Even if this is the case I believe I would still have to
duplicate the User model fieldsets.

Multiple inheritance doesn't seem to work (not surprisingly), and I
wouldn't be thrilled about that approach anyway.

So, my "solution" was to duplicate this logic in my admin class, and
it works just fine now.  Anyone have any better ideas?

Daniel is right on.  And for future reference, it says "3 arguments"

itself is the first argument.

Yup, view source shows it's blank, as in nothing is in the source at all.

You're right. Changed the index view to just return an HttpResponse,
skipping the template, and it worked.

So, gotta chase down why. Thanks for the pointer

It seems right

TEMPLATE_DIRS = (

mod_python problem

[Bryan Fordham]

I'm sure this is something simple, but I'm a bit stumped. It's been a
while since i've don't this, and obviously I'm missing something

I have my django app installed on server. When I go to any URL that
matches something in the urls.py file, I get a blank page. As in the
server is returning a 200, but there is no data at all in the page
that's returned.

What's weird is, if I request a URL that's not in urls.py, I get the
usual Django error page about it. Also, it will redirect properly from
/foo to /foo/

Any ideas? Here's the appropriate part from my apache config file:


SetHandler python-program

SetEnv DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE bfordham.settings
PythonDebug On
PythonPath "['/home/bfordham/websites/bfordham/trunk/'] + sys.path"

Problems with creating formsets with Dynamic initial values

conventions for adding pluggable apps to Django

[Bryan Wheelock]

I have a question about using Pluggable apps with Django.

My question is about best practices.
If you have pluggable apps, do you put the entire app ( e.g. django-survey
or django-ads ) into a subdirectory and then add each app individually to
the python path?

$ ls apps
django-survey  django-ads

$ ls apps/django-survey/
docs examples setup.py survey

$ ls apps/django-ads/
ads  examples project

Then add each app to the python path individually:
  e.g.
  sys.path.insert(0, os.path.join(PROJECT_ROOT, 'apps/django-survey/'))
  sys.path.insert(0, os.path.join(PROJECT_ROOT, 'apps/django-ads/'))

OR

do you just include the working directory ( in this case
django-survey/survey ) in the apps/ directory so that the they can be found
in apps/survey ?

$ ls apps
survey   ads

Python path is:
  sys.path.insert(0, os.path.join(PROJECT_ROOT, 'apps'))

I think the urlpatterns would be the same in both cases:
  urlpatterns = patterns('',
  (r'^admin/(.*)', admin.site.root),
  (r'^survey/', include('survey.urls')),
  (r'^ads/', include('ads.urls')),
  )

I would imagine there are several ways to do this; however, I guess I wanted
to learn if there was a convention for adding pluggable apps.

thanks,
Bryan

Re: problem enabling the admin interface

[Bryan Oakley]

Thank you. That was certainly part of the problem. I also discovered I
needed to add django.contrib.auth. And oddly, a problem where I had an
admindocs (plural) directory but the admin site was looking for
admindoc (singular).

Eventually, with your help and some educated guesses I'm finally up
and running. It's been surprisingly difficult, but I'm not tuned in to
the django world so maybe these are all known issues.

Thanks again!

problem enabling the admin interface

[Bryan Oakley]

I inherited a django app and I'm trying to enable the admin interface
without much luck. When I try to access the admin interface I see this
at the end of the error log:

 OperationalError: no such table: django_session

Sure enough, it's not in my (sqlite) database. If I create a new
database from scratch that table is not being created:

$ python manage.py syncdb
Creating table tests_testinfo
Creating table dashboard_testresult
Creating table django_admin_log
Creating table django_content_type
Installing index for tests.TestInfo model
Installing index for dashboard.TestResult model
Installing index for admin.LogEntry model
$

My settings.py includes this:

MIDDLEWARE_CLASSES = (
 'django.middleware.common.CommonMiddleware',
 'django.middleware.gzip.GZipMiddleware',
'django.contrib.sessions.middleware.SessionMiddleware',
'django.contrib.auth.middleware.AuthenticationMiddleware',
#'django.middleware.doc.XViewMiddleware',
)

INSTALLED_APPS = (
  'web.tests',
  'web.dashboard',
  'django.contrib.admin',
  'django.contrib.contenttypes',
)

Anyone have advice for what I might be doing wrong?

get_or_create and DoesNotExist

[Bryan Veloso]

Hi all,

I mostly just need a tap in the right direction for this one. I'm sure
I'm missing something that's obvious. Anyway, I'm trying to run django-
syncr, and it's telling me that "Photo matching query does not exist."
But if it doesn't exist, shouldn't it create it? I'm thinking that
something is either preventing the instance from being created. The
really odd thing is that it created one instance and then stopped,
when I asked for it to import my photos from the last 7 days.

All-in-all, I'm stumped. Any help would be appreciated!

Cheers,
Bryan

more info when serializing

[Bryan L. Fordham]

So, say I have a model something like this:

class Bar(models.Model):
user = models.ForeignKey(User)
name = models.CharField(maxlength=50)
description = models.TextField()

where user is tied to a django.contrib.auth.models.User entity. When I 
serialize this to json, I get:
[{"pk": "1", "model": "foo.bar", "fields": {"description": "", "user": 
1, "name": "Phone"}}]

Which is fine, but I need both the username and user id on the front 
end. Is there a simple way to get this info all in one shot that I'm 
just missing?

Ideally, it would return something like: ..."user": 
{"username":"bfordham", "pk":1}...

I'm using the django-rest-interface, if that makes a difference one way 
or the other.

Thanks

Re: Slug (w/o using SlugField) Problems

[Bryan Veloso]

Thanks for the help Malcolm. Using Jeff Croft's "I'm not a programmer"
excuse, would it be too much trouble to request a small example of a
reversible slugify? I think that's probably my best bet since other
options included adding more models and custom save methods. I've
searched around and have only found a few examples of a rewritten
slugify, other than that I'm completely clueless about how to write
one myself.

If not, then I'll just have to use one of those other ways then.

Slug (w/o using SlugField) Problems

[Bryan Veloso]

Alright, well let me get the information out of the way first:

models.py
--
char_id = models.IntegerField('Character ID',
primary_key=True)
name= models.CharField('Name', maxlength=90)

def get_absolute_url(self):
return "/characters/%s/" % (slugify(self.name))
--

urls.py
--
character_detail_dict = {
'queryset': Character.objects.all(),
'template_object_name': 'character',
'template_name': 'characters/character_detail.html',
'slug_field': 'name',
}

(r'^characters/(?P[-\w]+)/$', object_detail,
dict(character_detail_dict)),
--

So, the problem. This is an existing database (ran inspectdb to get
it) so obviously I can't add a SlugField to the Character model. Now
I've only been able to get this to work if the character's name is one
word, without hyphens. Once you start throwing hyphens in there, it
throws a 404. I know I'm messing something up, but it's either way too
late for me to think straight, or I just have no idea what to fix. The
thing that bothers me is that `name` isn't really a `slug_field` as it
hasn't been slugified, and the only place I slugify is up there with
the absolute URL. I don't think slug_field can be a property either
correct?

Thanks in advance.

~ Bryan

Re: Cross Importing Model Problem

Thanks for the help guys. Splitting the models up was mostly a
cosmetic thing for the admin, but these problems quickly kicked me out
of that state. Anyway, yes, the database design is really bad, mostly
because that's not what the game developers are experts at
unfortunately.

Cross Importing Model Problem

[Bryan Veloso]

I don't know if this is even possible, since I've had so many errors
thrown at me, but I wanted to ask here so I can get a clear picture.

I have 2 models for an MMORPG control panel I'm building. Each set of
data is within it's own app with related models, etc. So here's my
example. It's run off an existing database so I really can't change
any of the database fields.

I have a Character model that imports the Guild model.

class Character(models.Model):
char_id = models.IntegerField('Character ID',
primary_key=True)
account = models.ForeignKey(Account, unique=True,
db_column='account_id')
char_num= models.IntegerField('Character Slot')
name= models.CharField('Name', maxlength=90)
guild   = models.ForeignKey('Guild',
db_column='guild_id') 

But the app that contains Guild has another model that is linked to
the Character model.

class GuildMember(models.Model):
guild   = models.ForeignKey(Guild,
db_column='guild_id', unique=True, primary_key=True)
account = models.ForeignKey(Account,
db_column='account_id', unique=True)
character   = models.ForeignKey(Character,
db_column='char_id', unique=True) 

So when I run it, it says it can't import Character & Guild. Which
makes sense because I'd be importing a model onto itself. Is there any
way to get around this? I thought if you called a model that it would
only import the dependencies related to the model being imported,
rather than all the dependencies in models.py.

My apologies if I totally botched up the explanation, but that's the
best I can manage.

Can you serve Context to the base template?
I thought of that earlier, but I couldn't think of how to give it
Context.

Random string template tag

[Bryan Veloso]

I don't know if this exists or not, but I'd like to insert a tag (much
like cycle) that allows the random selection of a string. I'm trying
to randomly assign a class to a  to simulate "random image
rotator" type functionality. Something like...



Any ideas?

augmenting admin delete

[Bryan]

Is there an easy way to augment deleting from the admin page.
Specifically, I'm uploading an image and as part of saving the image
model I make a thumbnail (which isn't part of the model). The admin
delete will remove the uploaded image but not the thumbnail, so I'd
like to basically say, whenever you delete the image also delete the
thumbnail.

I know I can override the admin delete to do whatever I want but I
just want to augment it with one tiny thing, so I'm hoping there is a
clean way.

Any ideas?

Thanks.

Alright. I tried looking in the actual source for any mention of

Awesome, well I'm already extending the user model, so I can just add
that. So password_md5 still exists? Sweet, if so, I can just override
save() and have that save in the account table right? Things are
looking a lot clearer now, thanks Nimrod.

Re: Password Logistics Help Needed

Alright, I did about 2 hours of searching today and I'm beginning to
think that the above is an impossibility. Which probably means that
I'm going to have to bypass Django authentication and make my own, but
I don't even know where to start on that, so I'm at quite a loss. :/

Password Logistics Help Needed

[Bryan Veloso]

Long story short, I'm building a control panel + backend to an MMORPG.
It runs off of a mySQL database, I used inspectdb, and all of that
worked perfectly. However, now I have some duplicate data, the User
model (since I'm using django-registration) and the account table of
the inspected database. I'm sure I could just assign the applicable
values from the User model to the account table while creating the
user's profile via profile_callback(), but the only problem I can't
seem to get my head around is the password one.

At the moment, the game can only read md5 or plain-text passwords, and
I know that Django has the hash$salt$hash (or something. :P) way of
doing it. So I can't just copy the password from the User model to the
account table since the game will choke on that data. So is there any
way I can store two sets of the password? One in the user model that
gets copied as md5 or plain-text to my accounts table?

Thanks in advance, please let me know if I have to explain things a
bit more. :)

Cheers,
Bryan V.

The only problem with this, and probably why I'm looking to use #3297
(which actually didn't work too well anyway), is because I have as
many as 15 file upload fields on one page. All the examples I've seen
only take care of one image on a certain form at a time and I don't
want to duplicate the code up to 15 times.

I've spent some time recently rewriting some of my custom managers to 
use the extra method, and I highly recommend it. I know it may not be 
possible in all circumstances, but for things like sorting and using 
generic views it made my life a lot easier. I do suggest spending time 
playing with it in the shell to get the hang of it.

So, nothing of real substance to impart here, just to encourage you to 
check out the extras() method.

So that's all it is eh? I don't know why I was thinking it would be so
difficult to do. I guess because I thought of template tags first, of
them placing our content in their code rather than have them place
code around our content.. if that makes any sense. I guess my best
example of what I'd want done is Virb, but from a database standpoint
it definitely makes sense.

Thanks for the quick responses guys. :)

Hypothetical: Customizable Member Pages

[Bryan Veloso]

I'd like to build a site in which members have the ability to
customize the look of their profile using HTML, CSS and template tags
that we'd provide to the member. So, I want to know if Django supports
this or not, as well as how difficult it would be to implement. Best
case scenario would be a customization experience like that of
Geocities or Yahoo!Pages, but experiences that parallel to say,
Wordpress.com or MySpace would work too.

This feature is a show-stopper, since the market I'll be gearing this
to almost requires features like this to be there.  So am I dreaming
that this can be done? Has anybody else attempted something like this
yet?

Thanks. :)

Re: Development times

I've only developed two sites, a blog and a dynamic scoreboard, having
no prior python experience.

The blog took about 4 weeks, with a lot of help, and it's still not
done due to some limitations I've hit with the framework (or
limitations in my own knowledge).
The scoreboard I just finished an "alpha" of, and that took me less
than 2 weeks. :)

Very nice.

A few minor things:
One the register page, since the "Terms of Service" link is in the label 
for the checkbox, when I clicked it to read the TOS it checked the box 
before going to the page.

In the 2 item on the TOS page, it says "We're aiming for an audience of 
"G" and above." I know what you mean but, what's below G? 8)

I don't think these would really confuse anyone, or affect the sites

SelectDateWiget Problem

[Bryan Veloso]

birthday=
forms.DateField(widget=SelectDateWidget(years=range(today.year,
1900,-1)), required=False)

I have this in my forms.py, and it defaults to January 1, 2007. So, I
set my birthday, save, come back and it's back to that default, so if
I were to save the form without changing that value, it'll save my
birthday as 01/01/07. Shouldn't the widget automatically inherit the
database value like the rest of the form fields?

Re: Admin: Hiding fields from certain user groups

[Bryan Chow]

We have done this before by creating a second model with a different
fields definition in the Admin class, and then assigning the model to
the same database table by specifying db_table in the Meta class. This
allowed us to specify separate access permissions on each model, even
though both models were manipulating the same table.

Kind of a hack, but it worked.

(This was actually the impetus for submitting

Help Wanted at CritterWatch.Org

[Bryan L. Fordham]

As I announced recently, I'm currently working on a project at 
www.critterwatch.org. The overall goal is to provide people with 
up-to-date information on how their state represenatives and senators 
are voting, as well as data on legislation. Long term goals include an 
API to make this information available to other projects.

The near term goal, however, is to load all the data for all 50 states 
into the database, and keep it updated. That's where you can come in:

If you're interested in helping this project by writing some scripts to 
get the information for your state, please reply to me off-list. I 
haven't worked everything out just yet, but essentially you'd be 
screen-scraping your state legislature's website and putting the 
information into a standard format, which would be loaded into the database.

Another way to help is to suggest new features. You can also be my BFF 
if you submit ideas on how to make the interface look better.

As always, any feedback at all is appreciated.

Thanks

Thanks

And yeah, I'm not a UI design guy. Given a design I can code it, but I 
suck at coming up with the design from scratch.

So if anyone on this list wants to donate a nice design, feel free 8)

Screen scraping, I'm afraid. Georgia was easy, which is nice since it 
was the logical place for me to start (I'm near Savannah, Ga.). Some 
other states, for instance South Carolina, have their Senate/House 
journals online, where I have to go through everything and find the votes.

One of my goals is to make a usable API for this stuff available.

new Django site: critterwatch.org

[Bryan L. Fordham]

Not officially launched yet, but I'd appreciate some people banging on 
critterwatch.org and telling me what breaks.

It's a site to track how you state senators and congressmen vote. Right 
now it only has information for Georgia, but I'm working on adding the 
next state (namely, South Carolina) right now.

Thanks

Alright, let me explain it a little better without being so catious
about the nature of the app. This app will be storing scores from the
Wii game Wii Sports. So I essentially had thought that all 5 sports
would be on one page and people could input their scores and upload a
screenshot. Now, the reason the approved attribute is there is so if a
person's score is reported as fake (e.g., no screenshot or fake
screenshot), then I could it in the admin and the score would then be
taken out off the rankings page and marked to the user accordingly.

So it isn't so much a step 1, step 2, so much as each sport will have
it's own line with two fields, score and screenshot upload. This is
really the only way I could think of doing it (not being a programmer
by trade mind you). Thanks for the help so far though Russ.

Uploading Image, Marking a Field as True

[Bryan Veloso]

Alright, example model:

# Baseball
baseball = models.PositiveIntegerField('Baseball Skill Level',
blank=True, null=True, maxlength=4)
baseball_approved = models.BooleanField('Approved', default=False)
baseball_proof = models.ImageField('Proof', upload_to="/images/proof/
baseball", height_field='baseball_height',
width_field='baseball_width', blank=True)
baseball_width = models.IntegerField(blank=True, null=True,
editable=False)
baseball_height = models.IntegerField(blank=True, null=True,
editable=False)

Workflow is this:

1) Person inputs score.
2) Score isn't "valid" (meaning it won't show up on standings) if
'baseball_approved' is false. In order for the score to be approved,
they have to upload an image.
3) Person uploads an image.
4) 'baseball_approved' is marked true.

So, I'm thinking you need to play with views or signals or something
to do this. Any guidance?

Alright, so just to be safe, I really shouldn't be showing the values
for all players, since that risks showing values for the other sports
as well? Grabbing and sorting like this isn't an expensive task is it?

Would I use the same order_by functionality if I wanted to say...
compare a person's score to the highest? Like a percentile thing?

Does this only grab the baseball scores? Or grabs all of them and THEN
sorts them by score?
(Just for future reference.)

This looks like what I need, I'll try it out! Thanks Russell!

QuerySet Question - Selecting a Single Field

[Bryan Veloso]

Alright, new problem for you guys. Here's an example model in an app
called "scores", which contains all the scores for a particular
player:

# Baseball
baseball= models.PositiveIntegerField('Baseball Skill
Level', blank=True, null=True, maxlength=4)
# Bowling
bowling = models.PositiveIntegerField('Bowling Skill
Level', blank=True, null=True, maxlength=4)
# Boxing
boxing  = models.PositiveIntegerField('Boxing Skill
Level', blank=True, null=True, maxlength=4)

(etc.)

Now, right now all the scores are lumped within this model. My
question comes in when trying to call these items in my views. Say if
I want to gather all the baseball scores and sort them. What would the
queryset call for that be? I've found things such as order_by and
such, but I usually just see ".all()", so would an easier way to do
this include splitting these up into separate models (which then
boggles my mind when I'm thinking of showing all of the inputs for
every model on a single page)?

This seems like my only roadblock before really getting somewhere with
this. So any and all help is apprecaited!

Re: Case insensitive urls

[Bryan Chow]

URLs should be unambiguous, i.e any logical piece of content should
have one and only one definitive URL, with any alternatives acting as
a permanent redirect.
http://simonwillison.net/2007/Feb/4/urls/

Therefore, rather than configuring urls.py to ignore case, a better
solution would be to use mod_rewrite to map the "wrong case" URLs to
the correct ones.

For example, you could configure mod_rewrite to convert all URLs to
lowercase.

RewriteEngine on
RewriteMap lowercase int:tolower
RewriteRule ^/(.*)$ /${lowercase:$1}

Hope this helps.

Bryan

Re: MySQLdb Error

[Bryan Veloso]

It looks like you're using version 1.2.2. Try using 1.2.1_p2 and see
if that works, I had a problem similiar to yours and downgrading to
that version fixed my problem.

I tried that, it'd be...

def item_pubdate(self)
return Entry.pub_date

But it'd give me errors about things being stupid. o_O;
Okay, errors about the object not having an attribute of pub_date.
