Re: dates DateQuerySet includes time
I'm using django 1.5.1 and I guess in in 1.5, the dates method returns
datetime objects. So nevermind!

dates DateQuerySet includes time
I'm trying to use the dates QuerySet method but I am getting different
values in the template:
view:
timecards = Timecard.objects.all()
dates = Timecard.objects.dates('date', 'day', order='DESC')
template:
{% for tc in timecards %}
{{ tc.date }}
{% endfor %}
Oct. 14, 2013
{% for d in dates %}
{{ d }}
{% endfor %}
Oct. 13, 2013, 5 p.m.
The documentation says dates is supposed to return a datetime.date object,
so there should not be any time. So where does the 5 p.m. come from? Also
I'm assuming the day difference is due to time zone which comes with time.
So am I using the dates method correctly?
Thanks,
Chad

Re: django-celery connects to localhost but not by ip
I wasn't running celerycam, but now I am. I also wasn't using the -E -B
flags. The result is still False though but in the Django Admin, the task
has a state of SUCCESS.
I don't know if it matters or not, but this is how I am starting my
workers, celerycam through Fabric:
sudo('ps auxww | grep celerycam | grep -v "grep" | awk \'{print $2}\' |
xargs kill')
# Kill existing workers
sudo('ps auxww | grep "celery worker" | grep -v "grep" | awk \'{print
$2}\' | xargs kill')
with cd('/usr/local/Cellar/daemonize/1.7.4/sbin'):
# Create new workers
sudo('daemonize -u pipeadmin %s/manage.py celery worker -E -B' %
siteDir)
# Create new celerycam
sudo('rm celerycam.pid', warn_only=True)
sudo('python %s/manage.py celerycam --detach --pidfile=celerycam.pid' %
siteDir)

Thanks, I found the issue after checking the logs.

django-celery connects to localhost but not by ip
I am using djcelery and rabbitmq. Everything runs fine when the BROKER_HOST is localhost but when I change it to the ip of the machine it no longer runs. Basically I am trying to be able to run python commands on a separate machine to be picked up by the RabbitMQ server on a different machine. But to test first I am doing it all on the same machine. But as I said it doesn't seem to work when I change from localhost to the machine ip. I just get socket.error: [Errno 61] Connection refused. Any ideas?

Re: Calling ffmpeg doesn't work on apache server
One last observation: I think it has something to do with the apache user permissions. I'm running the mod_wsgi daemon process with myself as the user and I need to specify the full path to ffmpeg (/usr/local/bin/ffmpeg). Even when I do that the function runs every other time. So I'm totally confused now. I'm an apache/django beginner so bear with me please!

Re: Calling ffmpeg doesn't work on apache server

get_absolute_url goes to ../../../r/14/1/
I'm implementing the get_absolute_url method on one of my models.
@models.permalink
def get_absolute_url(self):
return ('viewProject', (), {'projectSlug' : self.slug})
My url has:
url(r'^(?P[-\w]+)/$', 'assetlibrary.views.viewProject',
name='viewProject'),
However, in the admin page for that instance, the View on Site link points
to:
../../../r/14/1/
which is not very useful.
I was following the documentation here:
https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.4/ref/models/instances/#get-absolute-url
and nothing more is listed than what I just did. Am I missing another step?
Thank you,

jquery multi file uploads in single post
I'm creating an asset management system with Django and I'm using this jquery multi-file uploader: http://blueimp.github.com/jQuery-File-Upload/ I want to be able to get all uploaded files in a single POST request instead of each file having it's own request so I can count all the files as a single check-in. The uploader has a singleFileUploads option that is supposed to do just this, but in my view, the request.FILES always has just one value. Does anyone have any experience with this or have any suggestions? Thank you, Chad -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.

Access local network locations
Hello!
I'm working on a local django site and I've set up a post-save signal where
when an entry is initially saved, I want to copy a template directory
structure somewhere. This template directory structure lives on a local
network location. However I can't seem to access it through my local
apache server running on my machine:
if not os.path.exists(kProjectTemplateDir):
raise RuntimeError('%s does not exist' % kProjectTemplateDir)
However when I run it through a shell, I can access it just fine. The
apache server is running through my user verified through
ps aux | grep apache
Is there a setting I need to set in django or is this an apache issue? I'm
new to both so please excuse my ignorance.
Thank you,

RE: Django asset management and dynamically created databases
Yes the single database was my original and preferred design. I will try to push for that design. I think there was concern about reliability and performance of everything in one database but I don't think that will be an issue given our needs.

It would *much* simpler to put it all in a single database. In my personal opinion, there would need to be a strong business case for multiple databases to justify the added complexity.

Django asset management and dynamically created databases
Hi there, I'm designing a database for an animation studio to track assets across multiple shows. We potentially would want each show to have its own database, however we would want functionality to search for assets across all shows. I am exploring the use of django as the main framework for this system as it would provide a nice front and back end interface that is easy to build upon. Is it possible in django to dynamically create a new show database when a new show is created in the admin interface of the main database? How would I then get the settings.py to pick this up dynamically? The only reference I've found is this which seems to go against the advice of the django devs: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/6585373/django-multiple-and-dynamic-databases Is django appropriate for this purpose? Am I approaching this all wrong? Thanks for your help and please forgive my limited django knowledge.
