Re: Do you code django with Komodo?
What OS are you running? I'm on Windows and use e-texteditor which has support for TextMate bundles. You can get some pretty nice Django bundles which will do a lot of autocompleting and such tasks. Komodo seems to have a couple of nice things going for it - mainly SVN support. In my setup I'm doing everything off a development Linux server with an SSH mount - so I've got a Putty window open to do all my SVN tasks. Works for me and e-texteditor is the best I've seen on any platform. On Jun 24, 9:56 am, ristretto.rb <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Hello, > > Do you code python/django in Komodo?

Re: Sorting
I'll suggest the sortable in ui.jquery.com for front end. On
ordering you may want to run some serialize function in JavaScript and
submit with AJAX to a function that writes the order. Another flavor
is to simple put move_up and move_down functions to your model. There
is an example of this on djangosnippets.org. You could bridge the
sortable UI component by just submitting how many places to move a
particular row down/up. This would scale better as you're only posting
two values (object id and positions up/down) and not a huge array that
triggers a SQL for every row. You may want to think about pagination
as well. I'm not sure how I would accomplish sortable lists with very
large datasets. The solution depends on the scale I suppose.

Scaling architecture question: separate media server
I am in the planning stage of creating a Django media player. It is intended for a small group of users, but still anticipating a lot of bandwidth usage both upload and download as this is an MP3 repository with a web frontend. There is a lively discussion on an interesting upcoming feature of Django called FileStorage. This will allow any sort of file storage mechanism to plug into FileFields and process uploads. A good example would be Amazon's S3 where a FileStorage module would handle the authentication and HTTP's for S3 and supply callables like get_FIELD_filename to Django. Awesome stuff and I hope my understanding is correct : ) In the Django book the author mentions NFS as a solution for separate media servers. This is a quick and easy method where you mount a magic directory which pipes everything to a separate server running nignx or a smilar purpose built environment. I'll be hosting the file server on a home fiber optics cable with decent upload and the Django app will be on a slice host optimized for Django. Are there limitations to NFS and/or is it recommended for local mapping only? I've read that NFS is an ancient standard and not very good or suited for these purposes. Has anyone used SSH mappings between servers for such uses? Paramiko[1] looks like a very nice and secure framework for SSH connections within Python apps. Could Paramiko be a stone's throw away from an SSH FileField in Django once we have the FileStorage framework to play with? A bit vague here I know. As I said just gathering a feeling for what's being done in other Django projects to reach these ends. 1: http://www.lag.net/paramiko/ --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.

newforms __init__
Does anyone have a code example of __init__ where you modify a form_for_inst/model to remove some fields? I'm trying to build an edit form but don't want to expose all fields of the model. Maybe I missed it but I didn't see this scenario covered in the newforms documentation. Is this maybe not the right way to go about this kind of scenario. I thought of building a custom form that closely mirrors the model and then tying it into an instance at the end before saving.

Re: django app for managing sending email to users...
I have an implementation of a mass mailing functionality. Basically a "campaign" is constructed in the admin interface. There is a preview field and if filled it short-circuits the save functionality. If the preview is left blank users and a campaign id are put into a "dispatch" table where each entry is marked as "not-sent". There is a cronjob on my box that runs a standalone Django script that sends off batches of x emails at y interval from the "not-sent" entries in the dispatch table. I've also written code so that admins can follow the progress of the dispatches (in percentages). I also have a simple sign- up and unsubscribe feature that ties in. Some other features I'd like to incorporate: Fexibility with templates of emails. Maybe pick from a drop-down. A "mailbug" feature. This is a hidden .gif in each email. When downloaded it hits a counter on the server with a hash that corresponds to that dispatch and marks it as read. Of course this is only when images are downloaded but a good indicator of the emails "success" if you want. Optional verification of email addresses. If anyone is interested in this code I'll happily contribute! --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.

Re: syncdb building freaky database
Thank you all for quick responses. I feel a bit silly trying to put
unique=true for a boolean.
What I was trying to accomplish though: Only one value can have the
boolean set to "true".
Also (here I am taking the whole hand when you guys have offered a
finger) ... have any of you implemented some kind of custom position/
order element into an object accessible from the admin interface?
