Re: a rather big, new django site:
Damn, 3 weeks ago I was talking to a friend about an idea for a website which is just like Splice. The focus was a little bit more towards musicians, letting them upload tracks and setting prices for its usage, but anyway, the sound mixer you coded is fantastic, and I bet it was damn difficult, which is the whole reason why I really never went ahead with the idea. I guess that's why who's envy now it is me ;) Nice work, Bram!

Re: Can Google index Django's pages?
hi Felix, Yes, Google will index your website even if you use Django. The only stuff that stop Google are the robots.txt, meta tags, and a direct request. Don't worry, if you can access your website using a browser, there's at least one link to it somewhere, and you didn't do any of the three things I mentioned to stop Google, search engines will find you.

Re: How to do this in Django?
You can specify what frame should a page be loaded by putting its name on the "target" link attribute. What you'll have on your left frame are links to the right one. Most browsers won't reload the page when an anchor is clicked for a page already being displayed. So the browser will understand that you want to see content on the right frame, and "jump" to the link. If you need help doing frames and named html anchors, I am sure this material can be found on any search engine. Just try "html left right frames" and "html named anchor", but you'll hardly get satisfactory answers on this list since it's out of its scope.

Re: Giving easy access to designers
If you think manage.py is the best solution but people would be unconfortable with the command line, you could make a few Python scripts to stay on their desktops so they would only need to double click them for something to happen. I don't know what requirements you have exactly and what's your network setup (even why designers need access to manage.py) , but imagine a folder on the designer desktop named "Projects". When opened, a few icons saying "Start Project X Server" or "any manage.py action as a simple name". The script ssh's to the server and run manage.py. The folder could be a shortcut to a Samba shared folder, where you're the one creating the scripts, so you still have control over what they do, but everyone has access.

Re: django comparison
Hi Harris, Django is a framework where you can build a CMS, it doesn't come with this behaviour after installed. You're going to have to make a "Model" for "Article", code the functions to retrieve them, build each display page (the html), etc... The comparision can't really be made, since when you install Joomla you get a very focused (even counting the plug-ins) solution. You would have to build a CMS using what Django offers. Now, that's good and bad :) You'll have complete control of the software, doing things your way, adding features that you want. If Joomla covers your needs as a CMS, go for it, unless you want things differently, and that's where Djando would fit it. I am sure someone has already built CMSs using Django, so a search on the list archives and Google might be fruitful if you want a starting point.

Re: Django scaling and Database replication
Yes, there's a way, but it's not in Django that you do this, but on the database. You don't need to configured Django (or any application accessing the database) to "talk" to slave hosts. It's the job of the database server software to abstract this step for you. You're going to setup slaves to a master host, and in most cases, the former will be used for SELECT and the latter to I/U/D. What happens is something like this: Master M and slaves S1 and S2 are configured. Application asks M for row id 15. M sends query to S1. S1 answers to M who answers to application. Application asks for row id 20. M sends to the next slave, S2, and so on. As new queries keep coming, so M keeps rotating between its slaves.

Re: Preventing Multiple Logins
I did it using PHP. It can be circumvented but it's not something
the average user would do. Everytime an user logins, the session id is
stored on a table, with the time and the user id. On every request by
every logged in user, I put every previous session ids from the user
id on an array, remove the last element (which is the current session
id), reverse the array (to increase the chance of finding the current
session id faster), and check if the current session id is in there.
Here's part of the code, I hope you can translate it to
Python/Django. It costs one query on every page request, but since I
charge people based on the number of users they create, I can't let
them logon with the same username :)
$sql = "SELECT session_id FROM access WHERE user_id = '$user_id' ORDER BY time";
$session_id_list = // queries and stuff to make the above SQL data in an array;
$last_session_id = array_pop($session_id_list);
$session_id_list_reverse = array_reverse($session_id_list);
foreach ($session_id_list_reverse as $key => $_session_id) {
if ($last_session_id == $_session_id) {
unset($session_id_lista_reverse[$key]);
}
}
if (in_array(session_id(), $session_id_list)) {
header('logout.php');
}
You can clean the 'access' table every once in a while to keep it
small (I do it weekly).
So, what happens is that I am checking if any session id, other than
the last one from an user on my access table, is his current one. If
it is, he's logged out, but the user who came later keeps logged in.
It can happen that users will have to logon twice, but it never
happened to any of my users, I just know it's something possible but I
never bothered to fix it, because it only happens if they return to
the login page without clicking on the logout button or closing the
browser, and really my users don't have many reasons to return to this
particular login page, which is just a form. Worst case, they only
have to type their username and password twice.

Re: What if slug is already used?
Slugs columns are indexed only. You need to add unique = True if you want them to be, well... unique. The thing with slugs is that they're usually needed with another url fragment that makes them unique, either by design (with unique_together) or just probability (appending the date: /mm/dd). So, yeah, if you don't have dates to work with or don't want them in the URL, still wants to use a SlugField, either add uniqueness to it or something else to separate the data. ID columns are fine if you can live with numbers in your url. In the end, depends what's your site content and how do you want your urls to look.

Instead of: /myobject/(?P\d+)/ I want: /myobject/(?P[-\w]+)/ I'm concerned if the user types in a title that's already taken. Slug fields get a db_index=True by default. Does that mean it must be unique in the database or simply that it will index this column. I'm thinking (and hoping) the latter. But how do you look up by a field that could result in multiple rows in the case that the user types a title that results in a duplicate slug?

Re: Opera & caching
Opera's cache is very agressive. I use Opera for almost all of my internet browsing and I've never met a form that isn't shown again (with its field's content intact!) when "backing", either pressing the arrow or using mouse gestures, even when caching is completely disabled (in preferences, "always" check for images and documents).

Re: A modest plea
Does Trac allows to disable the priority field? At least make it only available to certain users? Because I don't think this will never stop. Every place I've worked where we allow our costumers to tell the priority of a request, this happens. In fact, if we used a scaled priority, say, 0-10, there were people emailing us with "priority 11" requests, followed by "priority critical: out-of-scale" and "should be done yesterday already". What's the benefit of having a priority field? To priorize dev's work? If they review this data, aren't they the only ones with enough knowledge to assert its value? And the low priority requests which are in fact high priority because the submitter didn't saw other parts of the system affected by the bug?

Re: Migrating from ASP.NET to Django?
Sure there is hope. I haven't found any website that couldn't be made with Django. After all, it's about HTTP communication. There are even two websites that deal with price comparison in the wiki (http://code.djangoproject.com/wiki/DjangoPoweredSites): http://www.gutata.com/ and http://niftylist.co.uk/ But I believe none can answer your question besides yourself. Are you sure you can code in Python this C# specific code that you have? Does your database serves others apps which you'll have to modify? And what's a small website or a large one? I've seen Django powering social networks with more than one million members, but what's the load? Does it use cache? Does the DBA knows what she do?

Re: I'm so confused...
Ok Steven :) First of all, Django is not a "command line language". Django is a framework, a collection of practices and codes and data and functions that facilitate web development. Python is the programming language. It's what we use to open files, loop, add numbers, etc... It's a *very* good idea to learn some Python, the basics, before using Django. What you see in the tutorials and the examples related to "command line", or things that look like you can type on a command prompt, it is because Python has a "shell", an interpreter for your commands. You got one when you installed Python on Windows XP. At this place, you can type Python commands, for example, to "import modules". A module is a collection of code, data, functions and classes to organize your stuff. See the relation between modules and frameworks? Basically, Django is a series of Python modules oriented for certain things (web dev). There's a bunch of different Python modules, some came with your Python installation, to manipulate files, urls, or math, and a lot you can download from the net, to use graphics, DirectX, audio files, etc... anything a programming language can do. To develop with Django, the minimal thing you need is just Python installed. Search Google for the "python sqlite module" (a collection of code to manipulate sqlite databases), and install that. Then, follow Django's tutorial very closely, and search the net for more Django + Windows XP tips. And use Django's development web server! There's a reason why you pay thousands for people like me to do this stuff, buahahhhah! :) just kidding. It's not hard, but you need to be committed, and learn 2 programming languages, Javascript and Python, plus HTML.

I am using Django with the Yahoo API. There's even a python module
to make web searches and other Yahoo stuff (*verrry* easy to use).
What I did is create a model replicating every field from the
returned data, then my view requests something and I obj.save() it,
making it available on the admin interface. Something like (this is
for Yahoo news search):
from yahoo.search.news import NewsSearch
srch = NewsSearch('yahoo_app_id', query = 'something', results = 50,
language = 'en')
for news in srch.parse_results():
publish_date = datetime.fromtimestamp(float(news.PublishDate))
thumbnail = news.Thumbnail
if thumbnail is not None:
thumbnail = thumbnail['Url'].encode('utf-8')
try:
obj = News.objects.get(slug = slugify(news.Title)[0:50].encode('utf-8'))
except News.DoesNotExist:
obj = News(slug = slugify(news.Title)[0:50].encode('utf-8'))
obj.title = news.Title[0:125].encode('utf-8')
obj.summary = news.Summary.encode('utf-8')
obj.click_url = news.ClickUrl.encode('utf-8')
obj.news_source = news.NewsSource.encode('utf-8')
obj.news_source_url = news.NewsSourceUrl.encode('utf-8')
obj.language = news.Language.encode('utf-8')
obj.publish_date = publish_date.__str__()
obj.thumbnail = thumbnail
obj.save()
Then I grab some news from the DB:
news_list = News.objects.all().order_by('?')[0:3]
The encode('utf-8') was necessary because Mysql was complaining
about the data, don't know if it'll happen with your DB/server
configuration.

Re: Design question (models? apps? field_type?)
Ok. Take it easy with me because I think I understand your problem,
but the app goals seem amazing so I am going to try and help.
First of all, I think you'll be asked to show both import and export
to the same users (which are carriers and forwarders now, right?). So
there's no sense in splitting them: Today, one delivers the goods and
another one brings it, but someday a company can do both things. So I
would merge Carrier and Forwarder, because they are really an "user",
they just need to see different types of Offers depending on their
interest. Let's call this model "Company" for now.
An Offer is either an import or an export, so I would go with 2)
Use one app "Offers" and put import/export models there, but with a
ForeignKey to an Offer.
Something like:
class Offer(models.Model):
products = models.ManyToManyField(Product)
type = models.CharField(choices = (('import', 'Import'),
('export', 'Export'))
seaport = models.ForeignKey(Seaport)
target = models.ForeignKey(Y) # from your Seaport to Y example
class Import(models.Model):
company = models.ForeignKey(Company)
offer = models.OneToOneField(Offer)
# additional fields like Price, Time, Completed, etc...
class Export(models.Model):
company = models.ForeignKey(Company)
offer = models.OneToOneField(Offer)
# additional fields like Price, Time, Completed, etc...
So here's what you're able to do (I hope I got it right):
An user logs in. You pull the Offers based on the type field. He
selects one, and you record it (pseudo: Import.save(company =
request.user, offer = offer_selected)).
In fact, Import and Export seems like they can be abstracted even
more (maybe, I don't know your requirements). You can make a class
named "Delivery" which has a ForeignKey to Company and Offer
(unique_together'ed), and a Transaction class, which has a
OneToOneField with Delivery but it stores the additional data.

way to do it.
If you mean something like: it is either public or private, a
BooleanField() on class Photo should do it.
If you mean something like: The owner chooses the users that will
have access to the photo, you can do a ManyToManyField() on Photo:
class Photo(model.Model):
owner = models.ForeignKey(User, related_name = 'owner')
users = models.ManyToManyField(User, verbose_name = 'Give access
to', related_name = 'access_to')
But if you want more granularity on "access", for example, giving
access for someone to see the Photo, and others to see and edit, and
others to edit and send to email:
permissions = (
('see', 'See'),
('edit', 'Edit'),
('email', 'Email'),
)
# owner is assumed to come from Photo
class PhotoPermission(models.Model):
photo = models.ForeignKey(Photo)
access_to = models.ForeignKey(User)
permission = models.CharField('Type of permission', maxlength = 5,
choices = permissions)
And there's always Django custom permissions, if it fits your needs:

Django 0.91 and SVN (magic removal) on Dreamhost
Hi all! After some time I've managed to be able to run Django 0.91 and and the SVN version together on Dreamhost. I had a few projects done in 0.91 and I couldn't simply "svn update" the django_src directory. I don't know if this is useful to anyone else (perhaps to people on similar situation other hosts) but here's what you need to do :) I've followed Dreamhost's wiki instruction to install Django so the directory names are from there. - Create a directory for 0.91: mkdir $HOME/django_091/ - Copy django_src to django_091 (or grab a 0.91 copy and put there): cp -r django_src/* django_091 - Edit .bash_profile to accept the two Django dirs (don't know if it's really needed but I did it :p) export PATH=$PATH:$HOME/django_src/django/bin:$HOME/django_091/django/bin export PYTHONPATH=$PYTHONPATH:$HOME/django_src/:$HOME/django_091:$HOME/django_projects - Edit all the django.fcgi files you have, replacing: sys.path += ['/home/inerte/django_src'] with: sys.path += ['/home/inerte/django_091'] - Go to each project and make a link do django_091/django, so module imports are done on the correct directory: ln -s $HOME/django_091/django $HOME/django_projects/your_project_name/django - Remove two __init__.pyc files otherwise /admin/ will complain that someone messed with "magic numbers" (a django security thing, I suppose?): rm django_src/django/contrib/admin/urls/__init__.pyc rm django_src/django/contrib/admin/models/__init__.pyc - Update django_src to the newest SVN cd django_src svn update - Restart some stuff: pkill fcgi.py;pkill python And that's it :) Old projects living with 0.91, new ones living with SVN. As you convert your old stuff to the new Django syntax, remove the links made previously so Django imports from django_src: rm django_projects/your_project_name/django With hope that this will be useful to someone, -- Julio Nobrega - http://www.inerciasensorial.com.br --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.

Re: Perspective on building a community blog in a short timeframe
This might sound a little harsh, but if you need to ask if you can do it in Django, then you shouldn't do it. Not because it is not entirely possible... but because you're not confortable with the framework and its quirks and your productivity on it, yet. Since this is your Real Job, that will (probably) have your boss angry at you if it's not delivered on time... Also, the requirements that you gave us are too much broad: No multi-user weblog app with media files is only that. There will probably be comments (threaded?, how to deal spam?), image galleries, you will need HTML formatting while editing the posts, tags (?), categories, social-networking features (?), user registration, RSS/Atom, technoratti ping, templates per-user, plugins (?), send article via email, stuff like that. A full-wordpress clone in three weeks... I don't think it's a realistic goal. Unless you want something simpler. Talk to your boss and get *every* requirement for the project. If you don't need the fancy stuff (which I doubt, but I don't work there :p), try Django, otherwise, hack WP.

Re: Using an application more than once in a project
Sure. All Django/Python cares about is where the folder (module) is. Here's what I do sometimes: Create an app on my /home/ dir and symlink it inside the projects. So I am just re-using the same codebase on different projects, and getting the benefit of its changes/upgrades/development.

Re: Slow initial startup on Django project

Re: FileField permissions
What kind of file? What I do (in PHP, but the principle is the same) is to pass the filename linked to a page: download.php?filename=something.ext And on download.php I get the file ID based on its name, check if the user has permissions to access it, and then send some headers to serve it for download or view (if it's an image). The files are uploaded to a directory not served by the web-server, and download.php fopen() it, fread() it and the headers take care of the rest.

Re: Form field
Some uses of disabled inputs are good. For example one with a default value and a checkbox next to it that when clicked allows you to edit the input content.

Re: FileField not uploading
The first slash on file = meta.FileField (upload_to
="/myapps/uploads") is probably putting the file on drive C's root.
Check if you have this directory:
C:\myapps\uploads\
It bite me already :)
Anyway this is what I have:
settings.py:
MEDIA_ROOT =
'C:/Python24/Lib/site-packages/project_name/templates/project_name/web/'
MEDIA_URL = '/web/'
And on my model:
file = meta.FileField (upload_to ="files")
So files are uploaded to here:
C:/Python24/Lib/site-packages/project_name/templates/project_name/web/files/
When I use the development server, I have this on my urls.py:
urlpatterns += patterns('',
(r'^web/(?P.*)$', 'django.views.static.serve',
{'document_root':
'C:/Python24/Lib/site-packages/project_name/templates/project_name/web/'}),
)
And when I use Apache I have this on httpd.conf:
SetHandler None

Re: Advice on developing with django for a team of 10+
Hey tone, Eric provided a good explanation of what's like working with svn. I would like to comment a little on point number 3. Having everything on svn helps us on deployment too. Most software management tips will tell you to compile your code daily. Because it gives the development team a clear goal and discourages them to commit bugged code. Here's what happens where I work: QA approves the 'build' (a svn revision), and a Python script that I made checkout this code, removes the .svn directories, encode it using Ioncube (it's PHP, remember :p) and uploads the file to the production server. It takes a minute from svn revision approved to real world server, and that's good.

Re: Advice on developing with django for a team of 10+
Option number three is the most common, and what we use here at work (even though it's PHP, the principle is the same). With one difference, the source code for each individual lies on the server. Here where I work, each user has a /home/ sub-directory on a server with Apache, PHP, Mysql and Subversion. The /home/ directories are shared using Samba. I used to use Linux, and now I use Windows, but the principle is the same. My "home" on the server appears on My Network Locations, I just open files there and edit them. Apache is setup to rewrite calls to http://ser.ver.ip/home/my_name/my_project/ to filesystem's /home/my_name/my_project/. So, when I edit a file on my /home/, I don't break anyone else's copy and I can see the changes by loading "/my_" URLs. From time to time, we commit things to a SVN repository. This is *crucial*. You mentioned that you don't have much experience with version control software, so it's a good chance to learn it :) Because with SVN, all I have to do is "svn update" (or use Tortoise, it's very good!) and get the changes done by anyone else. If you have, your QA team or testers can checkout a copy to test the latest developments. With Python and Django, nothing much changes from this process. You still can have Apache rewriting to shared directories. And maybe pylint running daily on the code... On 3/16/06, tonemcd <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > 3.

Can you paste the query here? I think the problem is an unsupported feature by Mysql... Do you have another Mysql install to test?

Re: Templating Pitfalls?
With "child page should not have to get those events" you mean not
passing the events list as a variable to render_to_response() on each
view?
Well, I am using template tags. These are
objects/functions/variables available globally on your templates. It's
actually what I use to generate items for a navigation menu, which is
data pulled from a database and displayed on every page:
{% load templatetag_file %}
{% function_from_templatetag %}
{% for item in return_from_function_above %}
{{ item }}
{% endfor %}
The template tag can also return HTML code, something you might want
to consider giving the requirement (a calendar).

Re: recursive template calls
You don't *need* recursion on templates for threaded messages like
your example app, that's exactly the point :)

Modified Preorder Tree Traversal on the Wiki
I added an article at the Wiki about Modified Preorder Tree Traversal, a way to store parent/children relationship. I don't know how good my english is (I am from Brazil, and speak portuguese), and I extracted the code from an app I am doing. Could someone "proof-read" it please, and if any errors are found, please let me know? Many thanks, -- Julio Nobrega - http://www.inerciasensorial.com.br
Re: Question About Multi Column Keys
Something like this for your models: class User(meta.Model): name = meta.CharField() class Website(meta.Model): url = meta.CharField() class Tag(meta.Model): name = meta.CharField() class Tagged(meta.Model): user = meta.ForeignKey(User) site = meta.ForeignKey(Site) tag = meta.ForeignKey(Tag) And that's it... now some magic: - All tag names for http://www.google.com tagged_list = taggeds.get_list(site__url__exact = 'http://www.google.com') for tag in tagged_list: print tag.name - All tags for user 'inerte' on http://www.google.com: tagged_list = taggeds.get_list(site__url__exact = 'http://www.google.com', user__name__exact = 'inerte') - All users that tagged http://www.google.com with 'search': tagged_list = taggeds.get_list(site__url__exact = 'http://www.google.com', tag__name__exact = 'search') You get the idea :) The 'id' column is implicit here: It exists, but we didn't had to specify. A "Website" object will have the "id" and "url" parameters, and it doesn't matter much what you will use for __exact, as long as they are unique, I guess... What's a highly normalized database and why did you get the impression that isn't Django focus? If you pass the 'selected_related = True' parameter to get_list() you will see some really complicated queries being built to aggregate all the possible data, avoiding many re-queries (which I probably should have done on the first get_list() example). Btw, you should really stop thinking about the database design before writing your models with Django. Code how your data is structured, its relationships, let Django figure out how to select them, and only fix if it brakes.

Re: possible to validate a subset of a model's fields?
You could pickle (as in, serialize) the data and save on the database. Then just unpickle when you need to view it.

Re: utf-8 characters in database fileds(names)
Maybe, MySQL has a default character set, which your databases and table are created with.You can change with this command: ALTER DATABASE `db_name` DEFAULT CHARACTER SET utf8 COLLATE utf8_general_ci On 1/28/06, cayco <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > I did not. > > I used only: mysqladmin create dbname > > Could that be the problem? > > -- Julio Nobrega - http://www.inerciasensorial.com.br

Re: Preserving data through db updates/changes
Just dump the data into a file and reload it after re-creating the tables. At most, you will have to edit a few SQL fields/values to comply with the new column/table names. Doing it automated is *really* hard and I don't think it will be better (or more accurate) than just re-inserting the data via some db command.

Re: making slug field unique
Afaik Django enforces uniqueness at the application level, but you could always add it to the database: ALTER TABLE table ADD UNIQUE (slug) I don't think it's a bad idea at all, it all depends ;) On 1/16/06, Bryan Murdock <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > I think I want my model's SlugField to be unique (let me know if this > is a Bad Idea for any reason).
