Re: Creating a ISP control panel with Django.

[Larrik Jaerico]

I would forget the signals, and override your model's save() function
instead. That should give you all of the functionality you are asking
for, and be much less of a headache.

Re: django error page: traceback too shallow?

[Larrik Jaerico]

I've definitely experienced missing levels in the traceback. I don't
have anything reproducible, but notcourage isn't making it up.

Re: how to deploy Django on the web server?

[Larrik Jaerico]

I'll bet a lot of the mailing list will faint when they see this, but
I've gotten it to work pretty easily by just dropping the django
directory directly into my project directory.

Re: switching menu items on and off - dynamic urls?

[Larrik Jaerico]

I was afraid of middleware too, but it's really not bad at all. Just
remember that the URL patterns are only processed once.

I was looking for some extremely large integers as well, so you aren't

Re: Audit Trail

[Larrik Jaerico]

Sérgio,

Sorry about the **kwargs thing, my fault. I'm the one who patched
AuditTrail to reflect the newest version of Django, but since I have
some custom code in there I had to go line-by-line and figure out what
to bring back to the website. I missed the **kwargs thing, though, it
seems.
