Pinax or Straight Django

2012-01-16 Thread Kevin Miller
Dear all,

I have been struggling between using Pinax or Straight django to
develop my apps. I have never used Pinax,  but was reading on it.
I have already only developed one website in django although it is not
yet launched.

I would really like to hear the experiences of those who have used both.

Are there really any benefits in using Pinax?

NB: On a quick browse on google I realize that it was difficult to
find good and up to date tutorials on Pinax.


Thanks in advance for the replies.


Kevin

Problems with jquery and accessing django template system

2011-11-02 Thread Kevin Miller
I have a url that I need to attach to link that is in a jquery
section. It seem like the django template system is not getting the
variable. For example:

$.each(event,function(index,value){
var url = "{% url fiesta.views.detail "+
event[index].pk +"  %}"

$('#event_results').append(
'' + event[index].fields.title +
'' + event[index].fields.description + ''
)

});

},


"json"
);

--PROBLEM
I need this url to be formatted like: {% url fiesta.view.detail 1 %}
Where the number 1 would replace the event[index].pk
However, it keeps printing the text: "event[index].pk" instead of the
value. I have checked that the variable is returning values and it is
returning values outside of django template blocks.

I don't know, but it seems that the django template is reading the
data before it is evaluated by jquery/javascript.

 How can I format the django template so that i can evaluate jquery variables.



Thanks.

regard,
Kevin

problems using django-registration

2011-06-20 Thread Kevin Miller
Hi all,

I am in the process of finishing up an app. However, I just cannot
integrate django-registration and sessions properly. I can allow a
user to register and also log in. But
I am a bit confused in getting in to work with sessions. Eg. I want to
get information based on the user that is logged in. I have look in
the django book on session management and understand
how to create sessions and destroy sessions..etc. So I believe I could
do the entire process manually without email activation. But
django-registration allows email activation which I also need. So I
really want to use it but cannot integrate it with sessions.

sessions do not event work with my templates. I tried to post a link
only if the user is authenticated by doing this:

{% if user.is_authenticated %}
Log Out
{% endif %}

and it will not work, even after I log in the system using
django-registration. I believe there is some broken link in my
understanding of django-registration.
Can anyone please tell me how to integrate session management with
django-registration. Google did not help me that much.


Thanks in advance.

Kevin.

Re: DateTime in Django (Help)

2011-05-09 Thread Kevin Miller
Thanks so much for your response. I have done all that and I have
model forms working for other models.
However, I keep getting validating errors with datetime, probably is
how I am entering the data. I have also tried the SplitDateTimeWidget
I am getting the same
validation error. I have tried manually creating  the form and it
worked. I wonder what is the normally approach to DateTimeField in
django templates. Is using the
SplitDateTimeWidget the norm or should I use the AdminDateTimeWidget ?

Thanks again.

DateTime in Django (Help)

2011-05-09 Thread Kevin Miller
Dear all,

I am new to django but is in the process of building my first website. I have 
been ok for a while as I am not new to programming in python. However, I have 
one problem that I cannot figure out the proper way to do it. I want to use 
ModelForm but have a DateTime Field. I can do it without using a ModelForm but 
I think using the ModelForm is the proper way to do it.

Can someone show me a small example of using ModelForm with DateTime field?
How can can the DateTime field me displayed in django templates?

Thank you so much in advance.
