I used webfaction, but then moved to http://djangohosting.ch/
(http://djangoeurope.com) - nice ping from Europe, great support &

I'm in a similar boat...trying (again) with Django-1.3

My project is at ~/home/gour/www/zinnia in virtual env.

Zinnia (blog engine) media files are symlinked to:

/usr/home/gour/www/zinnia/lib/python2.7/site-packages/zinnia/media/zinnia --> 
/usr/home/gour/www/zinnia/blog/static

and in order to see media files I've the following in my settings.py:

[...]

PROJECT_PATH = os.path.abspath(os.path.dirname(__file__))

MEDIA_ROOT = os.path.join(PROJECT_PATH, "static")

MEDIA_URL = '/media/'

ADMIN_MEDIA_PREFIX = '/media/admin/'

[...]

and here is the snippet from urls.py:

from django.conf import settings

if settings.DEBUG:
urlpatterns += patterns('',
url(r'^media/(?P.*)$', 'django.views.static.serve', {
'document_root': settings.MEDIA_ROOT,
}),
   )

The above snippet is from dev-docs, while the 1.3 doc says:

from django.conf import settings

if settings.DEBUG:
urlpatterns += patterns('django.contrib.staticfiles.views',
url(r'^static/(?P.*)$', 'serve'),
)


Now I'm told on #django that this is obsolete and from 1.3 one is supposed to
use:

django.contrib.staticfiles 

and I tried to add it to INSTALLED_APPS, defined STATIC_ROOT, STATIC_URL,
STATICFILES_DIRS..and adding:

urlpatterns += staticfiles_urlpatterns() to urls.py, but all what I get is 404 
errors.

> The docs don't seem to mention using this view for this purpose.
> Should they?

This is my confusion as well. The doc says:


This view is automatically enabled by runserver (with a DEBUG setting set to
True). To use the view with a different local development server, add the
following snippet to the end of your primary URL configuration:

from django.conf import settings

if settings.DEBUG:
urlpatterns += patterns('django.contrib.staticfiles.views',
url(r'^static/(?P.*)$', 'serve'),
)



and based on the avove it seems that if one just wants to use runserver there
should not be need for the django.contrib.staticfiles.views view, but, based on
my experience I was not able to render media files without using the above
snippet in urls.py, so my humgble request is whether someone can provide
correct info how to serve app's media (static) files in django-1.3 when using
runserver in development?


Sincerely,
Gour

Ahh...my mistake for not explaining better.

Here is the demo:

http://demo.smartwebprojects.net/downloads-list/

which shows Downloads list which is probably straightforward, but I wonder how
to register number of downloads for each file?

I understand that in Python's jargon, number of downloads is class variable,
but no idea how to handle it in Django?


Is it more clear now?


Sincerely,
Gour

download-list app

[Gour-Gadadhara Dasa]

Hello!

I'm starting with Django trying to migrate all my sites from PHP apps to Django
apps...

I'd like to have Download page to display list of available (mp3) files for 
download:

Filename | Size | Number of downloads | Last updated


Is there some django apps providing similar functionality and/or what would be
the starting points to implement it?


Sincerely,
Gour

Re: Different ways of working against a SQLite3 dB

[DaSa]

Thx for your tips!

I tried to update my Python version but it did not work.

Today I have my data in an Excel document, and I have a script that
parse the excel document and creates sql-commands that I paste in the
SQL shell. But as you know I have the problem with swedish signs.

I shall try to use the admin interface instead, but today I can only
add one item at the time. Do you know any example how to add several
items at the same time?


Best regards
Daniel

Re: Different ways of working against a SQLite3 dB

[DaSa]

Thx! But I have the correct chcp coding. I can write swedish signs in
the promt, it is when I try to add them in the SQLite3 dB it goes
wrong.

I believe it is the "python manage.py shell" that can't handle swedish
signs. If I insert an object containing swedish signs from the admin
site and read it out in the "manage.py shell" I get weir signs.

Are there any other APIs I can use against the database?


Best regards
Daniel

Different ways of working against a SQLite3 dB

[DaSa]

Hi,

Maybe this is a SQLite question, but a guess many Django users uses
SQLite3.

I have a lot of data that I want to export to my SQLite3 database. My
problem is that the data contains special signs (swedish åäö) and
therefore is it not possible to insert the data through "windows
command prompt" (and SQLite3 shell) because the windows command prompt
does not support swedish signs.

It works when I,am adding the data through my admin site (Django
default admin site), but because of the amount of data it is not
possible to add the item one and one.

My question are if there are any more ways of inserting the data into
the SQLite3 dB? Is it possible to open the SQLite3 shell without CMD?

Thx!


Best regards
Daniel Sandberg
