Capturing common data from all URLs

[Dave Dash]

Hi,

I'm working on porting a legacy site (addons.mozilla.org) where all
urls begin with /locale/app/:

e.g.

https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/
https://addons.mozilla.org/ja/firefox/addon/5890
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/thunderbird

and in some cases, the application is not needed:

http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/about/legal.html

I know I can use django-localeurl to capture the locale, but I'm
wondering if there's a more generic middleware that can capture
anything (and store it in the request object) based on configuration?

Cheers,

-d

Re: django.core.mail - DEFAULT_FROM_EMAIL not employed

[Dave Dash]

I started experiencing this too... I can't tell if this is Gmail or
not.  I know I send email via SMTP from Gmail masqueraded with other
aliases.  So I feel that something is getting munged.  Either in the
mail library or with Gmail's servers.

Saving a new image via the model

[Dave Dash]

Using r9679 (I can svn up if needbe ;) )

How exactly do I save my new resized image?  I couldn't quite find any
documentation on this either.

The "easy" way almost seems to do it by writing out the file on my own
and just setting the imagefield to the filename... but there seems
like there should be a more integrated way.


Thanks,

-d

See  Code:


@login_required
def add_image(request, slug, item_slug):

if request.method == 'POST':
form = NewMenuItemImageForm(request.POST, request.FILES)

if form.is_valid():
handle_uploaded_image(request.FILES['image'])
return HttpResponseRedirect('/')
else:
form   = NewImageForm()

return render_to_response('add_image.html', locals(),
context_instance=RequestContext(request))

import Image, StringIO, md5
def handle_uploaded_image(i):
# resize image
imagefile  = StringIO.StringIO(i.read())
imageImage = Image.open(imagefile)

(width, height) = imageImage.size
(width, height) = scale_dimensions(width, height,
longest_side=240)

imagefile = StringIO.StringIO()
imageImage.resize((width, height)).save(imagefile,'JPEG')
filename = md5.new(imagefile.getvalue()).hexdigest()+'.jpg'

# create MII

mii = MyItemImage()
# mii.image.save(imagefile.getvalue(), filename)
# mii.save()
# imagefile.close()

Re: Django-like PHP framework?

[Dave Dash]

I did a lot of symfony stuff on the side about a year ago, and now
it's the framework that I we use for our frontend servers at
Delicious.com.  It was through symfony that I found out about Django,
and started using it quite a bit... so I know a bit about the two
frameworks.  Or rather, I know a lot about symfony, but much of that
is being replaced with stuff I'm learning about Django.

As PHP MVC frameworks go, symfony is great.  It borrows from where it
needs to, to give you a good suite of tools.  The direction it is
heading in is also nice.

The new 1.1/1.2 series supports Doctrine which was a lot nicer than
Propel when Iast looked at the two.

The nice thing about using symfony is the developer of symfony uses
Django from time to time, and borrows from it where appropriate.  I'd
wage that you'd see more in common with Django and symfony than any
other PHP framework.

Cheers,

-d

Re: How should I handle dynamically generated images?

[Dave Dash]

I currently serve up images via the DB vs. filesystem.  I did this in
order to keep the data in one place, but I now regret it.

I'd recommend overriding the delete() of your image class to take care
of deleting the related image from your storage.

Depending on your needs and the amount of data, you may also want to
have a separate process that iterates through your filesystem images
and makes sure they are in the DB.  a cheap way to do this is md5 your
files and use that as an indexed key in your table.

Cheers,

Re: Calculate and store the average rating

[Dave Dash]

Hmm... this is slightly different... is BookRatings and Books 1 to 1?

If I store these aggregates as part of the class that it's grouping
by.  Here's how I do it for restaurants:

class RestaurantRating(models.Model):
restaurant = models.ForeignKey(Restaurant)
value  = models.IntegerField(null=True, blank=True)
user   = models.ForeignKey(Profile)
created_at = models.DateTimeField(auto_now_add=True)

class Meta:
db_table = u'restaurant_rating'

def save(self, force_insert=False, force_update=False):
try:
super(RestaurantRating, self).save(force_insert,
force_update)
cursor  = connection.cursor()
query   = "SELECT count(value), avg(value) FROM
restaurant_rating WHERE restaurant_id = %s"
results = cursor.execute(query, (self.restaurant.id,))

for row in cursor.fetchall():
self.restaurant.num_ratings= row[0]
self.restaurant.average_rating = row[1]
self.restaurant.save()

except:
  transaction.rollback()
else:
  transaction.commit()

It's worked well for me, although I haven't used this in production
yet.  Let me know if this works for you.

Otherwise you can run sqlite3 with the path to your db... e.g.

or wherever your sqlite db is stored.

Re: Logic for stylesheets

[Dave Dash]

I'm curious at what you're trying to ultimately do.

On one of the projects I work on, we put a class on a encapsulating
div that defines future behavior:






and then we can do a special style for

.no_content .content {display: none}

or whatever we end up deciding to do differently.

Re: Reducing the number of my view's database queries

[Dave Dash]

Without knowing too much about your code, the only thing I can say,
having had a similar issue, was that select_related witha  specified
depth generally made for more efficient queries.

For fun, I started on some code to output database queries on all my
pages while I'm debugging:


  Queries
  
{{ sql_queries|length }} Quer{{ sql_queries|pluralize:"y,ies" }}
{% ifnotequal sql_queries|length 0 %}
(Show)
{% endifnotequal %}
  
  

{% for query in sql_queries %}
  {{ query.sql|wordwrap:40 }}
({{ query.time }})
{% endfor %}
  


I wrote this code when I was going through my site and making my
queries more efficient.

Another strategy that worked for me, is having an *ideal* SQL query
and then trying to fit that into the Django way of grabbing objects.
I already knew the most efficient query to use, so I had to just hack
around until Django did what I want.

Hope this helps.

Re: Removing accents from strings

[Dave Dash]

Sorry Karen my mistake for leaving that out, that reTagnormalizer just
filtered everything that wasn't alphanumeric, the full code is below.

Also here's the error from manage.py test

File "/restaurant/models.py", line 33, in
mealadvisor.restaurant.models.normalize

Got:

reCombining = re.compile(u'[\u0300-\u036f\u1dc0-\u1dff\u20d0-\u20ff

For now this is wrong I think it's an error with doctest, not the
actual function.

Re: Removing accents from strings

[Dave Dash]

Okay I think that fixes one fundamental issue... I've got a unittest,
however that fails for a function:

def normalize(tag):
"""
>>> normalize(u'cafe')
u'cafe'
>>> normalize(u'caf e')
u'cafe'
>>> normalize(u' cafe ')
u'cafe'
>>> normalize(u' café ')
u'cafe'
>>> normalize(u'cAFe')
u'cafe'
>>> normalize(u'%sss%s')
u''
"""
try:
tag = remove_diacritics(tag)
except:
pass

tag = reTagnormalizer.sub('', tag).lower()
return tag

It fails on the ' café' and translates it to cafa instead of cafe.
THis is only through the unittest framework (doctest) since I can run
it from django shell and it works as intended.

Is this just an issue with doctest?

Removing accents from strings

[Dave Dash]

I'm experiencing some strange behavior, and I think it has to do with
how django deals with utf strings:

When I write a test.py file:

import re, unicodedata

reCombining = re.compile(u'[\u0300-\u036f\u1dc0-\u1dff\u20d0-\u20ff
\ufe20-\ufe2f]',re.U)

def remove_diacritics(s):
return reCombining.sub('',unicodedata.normalize('NFD',unicode
(s)) )


and then open the python shell, I get:

Python 2.5.2 (r252:60911, Aug 10 2008, 00:43:40)
[GCC 4.0.1 (Apple Inc. build 5484)] on darwin
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> from test import *
>>> remove_diacritics(u'café')
u'cafe'


as intended.

When I do the same thing with the django shell:
$ python manage.py shell
Python 2.5.2 (r252:60911, Aug 10 2008, 00:43:40)
[GCC 4.0.1 (Apple Inc. build 5484)] on darwin
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
(InteractiveConsole)
>>> from test import *
>>> remove_diacritics(u'café')
u'cafA\xa9'


Which isn't quite what I expected.

My questions are:

1. How do I properly remove accents from strings in Django
2. What is django (this is using trunk) doing to strings differently
than python?

Even typing u'é' in the shell returns different things.

Cheers,

Dave

Re: Django on Apache (mod_python) administration cookie problem

[Dave Dash]

I am witnessing this issue using manage.py runserver.

The only useful information I can give is this was working when I was
running .97 (or whatever was the trunk a few months back), I recently
upgraded to the latest trunk (~1.1) and now continually get this
message.

I suspect something has changed in the last few months and I missed
whatever it was.  I'm going to attempt to setup a dummy project and
try this again.

If anybody has some clue, please let me know,

Cheers,

Dave Dash

Re: How to serve robots.txt for Django?

[Dave Dash]

RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^robots\.txt$ /static/robots.txt [L]

I think that should work if you have a web served folder of /static

I forget if DH supports Alias

because

Alias robots.txt /path/to/robots.txt will also work.

Can't login to /admin/ on production server over FastCGI

[Dave Dash]

When I go to /admin/ and login the screen just returns to the login
screen again with no errors or anything.

I have SESSION_COOKIE_DOMAIN set propperly as well and that didn't
help (the faq said it might).

I then tried using the built in server, and I ran that using the same
domain, but port 8000 as the listener.  That worked fine.

In fact, when I went to the production server (fastcgi) that cookie
got me to the admin interface.

So I'm wondering if there's some trick that is preventing the cookie
from getting to me.  I have liveHTTP headers, but I'm nothing looks
too out of the ordinary.  Cookies are sent with the requests just fine
and recieved just fine...

[resolved] OperationalError from sqlite3 (was Re: On nginx+fastcgi server site works except for /admin/ Unhandled Exception)

[Dave Dash]

Hi Jarek,

Modifying django.core.servers.fastcgi.py was just what I needed to
find out where my "traffic jam" was.

I had an OperationalError from my sqlite3 database.  I not only had to
update the permissions on sqlite3, but also on its containing
directory.

Worked like a charm.  Hope this helps others.

On nginx+fastcgi server site works except for /admin/ Unhandled Exception

[Dave Dash]

I'm getting the dreaded:

Unhandled Exception

An unhandled exception was thrown by the application.


Whenever I try to access /admin on my app under nginx+fastcgi.

To be sure, I tried the development server on the same machine and /
admin/ gave me the django admin prompt as expected.

I'm curious how to debug this.

Re: Database fields not showing up as unicode

[Dave Dash]

Malcolm,

It looks like i just found my solution:

http://automatthias.wordpress.com/2006/12/10/mysql-encoding-problems-on-dreamhost/

Apparently all the fields were encoded incorrectly.

Database fields not showing up as unicode

[Dave Dash]

Hi,
I have a legacy database that I've been using in a php app.  In PHP
the fields would render as unicode just fine.

In my Django app I get:

PhamâEURO(tm)s

instead of the expected:

Pham's

This happens for accented characters everything.

I'm no good with unicode, it has usually "just worked" but it's not
now.  I've narrowed it down to the model layer, since I can just make
a function that does this:

__unicode__():
return u'é'

and that works just fine, but

__unicode__():
return self.name

(or even force_unicode(self.name)) doesn't work.

I'm using a mysql database, i'm not sure if there's a setting I can
tweak to make this all better.

Thanks in advance.

Alternate URL styles for RSS feeds?

[Dave Dash]

I have a legacy app with feeds:

/restaurant/{slug}/feed

so I defined in my urls.py:


feeds = {
'restaurant': MenuItems,
}

urlpatterns = patterns('',
# restaurant feed
(
r'^(?Prestaurant)/(.*)/feed',
'django.contrib.syndication.views.feed',
{'feed_dict': feeds}
),
)

That goes to the correct class, but how do I get at the slug?  I tried
using:

class MenuItems(Feed):
"""
e.g. /restaurant/hobees/feed

We need the equivalent of
select menuitems from menuitems, restaurants where restaurant.slug
= slug
"""

def get_object(self, bits):
return Restaurant.objects.get(stripped_title__exact=bits[0])


but I suspect that Restaurant.objects.get was returning None since I
got the following error:

'NoneType' object has no attribute 'get_absolute_url'

Thanks for any help :)
