413 Payload Too Large on Django server

[nate]

Hey Django experts!

My team has been getting 413 errors whenever we try and upload large files 
to our Django back-end: 413 Payload too large

We can't exactly pin down the maximum acceptable file size - it seems to 
vacillate in the 1-3MB range.

Things we have excluded:

   - 
   
   It's not a webserver configuration issue, because we're running the
   Django server locally (without a webserver)
   - 
   
   We believe it's not an app server configuration issue, because this 
   happens on multiple app servers (./manage.py runserver and daphne -p 
   8000 topknott.asgi:application)
   - 
   
   It's not an issue with the field on the Django model, which looks 
   normal: photo = models.ImageField(blank=True)
   
Can anyone spot what we're missing?

Apply default filters in admin

[Nate Granatir]

In my app I have admin filters for a field called "language" - language is 
a field in several of my models - and I've created them custom, inheriting 
from SimpleListFilter, so that I can apply a default of English when none 
has yet been specified. This works almost perfectly - the only problem is 
that if I do it this way, by altering the queryset in the admin filter when 
the user has not selected an option, the parameter is not displayed to the 
user in the GET paramaters of the URL, which I worry is confusing to the 
user. 

Is there any way to solve this problem? Essentially I want to apply a 
default admin filter and have that filter appear in the URL as if it were 
chosen by the user. I am open to alternative solutions if anyone has done 
something like this before, even if it means a solution other than using a 
custom admin filter (e.g. some way of applying default GET parameters 
before the request is passed to the admin page.)

Thanks.

Re: Setting up an App and getting an import error

[Nate Granatir]

I may be speaking a bit out of my depth here, but I wonder if it's maybe 
because you haven't created __init__.py files in the directories? I believe 
Django (well, Python), requires an empty __init__.py file in directories 
when loading them as modules:
https://docs.python.org/3/tutorial/modules.html#packages

If it's not that, then I have no idea!

Re: How to design High Scalability architecture with Django in cost effective fashion

[Nate Granatir]

I am also not even close to being an expert on this topic, but I do know 
that it's super easy to deploy a Django app on Heroku, which will get you 
scalable app deployment and Postgres dbs with very little upfront effort.

inline parent value

[Nate Granatir]

You should be able to customize the queryset of any form by overriding it in 
the init method of the form. In this case, it's a little trickier because 
you'll need a custom admin and custom form for the inline. I haven't been able 
to test this, but I think you'll need to do the following. 

In forms.py, add a custom inline form, and in the init method customize the 
queryset to whatever it needs to be, after calling super, e.g.:

class OrderRowsInlineForm(forms.ModelForm):
class Meta:
model = None
fields = '__all__'

def __init__(self, *args, **kwargs):
super(OrderRowsInlineForm, self).__init__(*args, **kwargs)
self.fields['product'].queryset = 
Product.objects.filter(brand='whatever')


Then in admin.py, import the form and add a custom admin for the inline that 
uses that custom form, like:

from forms import OrderRowsInlineForm

class OrderRowsInline(admin.TabularInline):
model = OrderRows
form = OrderRowsInlineForm


Now, depending on what you want to set the queryset to, you might run into some 
trouble; if the list of brands for an order row depends on the brand in the 
product, you might have to do some trickery to pass the proper brand (or brand 
id) down into the form. You can generally use self.instance, but if these are 
new records that haven't been saved yet (i.e. the user will be filling in the 
details and clicking Save), which i assume is true, then i believe 
self.instance is None until saved, so won't be useful here.

Re: Annotate a List of Values

[Nate Granatir]

As demonstrated 
here: https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.10/topics/db/examples/many_to_many/
If you have a ManyToMany relationship set up in your models, say:


class SerialNumber(models.Model):
serial = models.CharField(max_length=50)


class Item(models.Model):
item_name = models.CharField(max_length=100)
serial_numbers = models.ManyToManyField(SerialNumber)


Then you can get a list of all serials for an item with:


item.serial_numbers.all()

Yes, why are you using SQLAlchemy instead of Django's built-in ORM? I don't

Re: Negative User ID's

[Nate Granatir]

Or why not just assign certain Users to certain Groups? That seems like a 
much more clean and simple way of handling the problem. You'd be able to 
easily filter either set of users, and it would require very little custom 
code. Plus, doing something like assigning negative IDs disguises what 
you're actually trying to accomplish, whereas auto-assigning certain users, 
to, say, a group called "Service Accounts", is perfectly clear to anyone 
looking at the code.

Re: Newbie to Novice – Using Admin DateTime Picker in your Form

[Nate Granatir]

I just installed Django Daterange Filter 1.3.0 
(https://github.com/DXist/django-daterange-filter) on a Django 1.9 project. 
Took a little CSS fiddling to get it to display properly with Grappelli, 
but other than that it worked like a charm.

Re: Django template iterating through two dictionaries/variables

[Nate Granatir]

You could also just join the dicts before passing them to the template. It 
looks like it's relatively straightforward (scores is just a list that 
contains dicts of a 'Number' and a 'score', right?) Then you could turn 
scores into a dict, assuming Numbers are unique:

scores_new = {score['Number']:score['score'] for score in scores}

And then update the persons dict to include the score:
for person in persons:
person.update({'score': scores_new.get(person['Number'])})

Then in your persons list in the template you'll just need to display 
person.score.

If you want to get really fancy (if, say, there's more than just a score 
you need to pull from the dicts in scores) you can see how to merge two 
lists of dicts on a common key here:
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/5501810/join-two-lists-of-dictionaries-on-a-single-key

Re: Beginner question regarding virtualenv

[Nate Granatir]

I've found that virtualenvs are definitely worth the time to set up, there 
will be a time down the road when you need to have two different versions 
of the same package. Also, I'd strongly recommend storing the project's 
dependencies in a requirements.txt file. I have a terrible memory and would 
never remember which versions are compatible with my project and which 
aren't.

As mentioned above, your IDE may help you set up and use virtualenvs. I use 
PyCharm and it can create the environment for you and associate that with 
your project.

Re: How and where should I put a version number in my Django project?

[Nate Granatir]

You can put the version for your project in:
my_project/my_project/__init__.py (same folder as settings.py)
like this:

__version__ = '1.0.27'


Then your project acts as a python module, and you can refer to the version 
number, for instance in your settings.py, as:

GRAPPELLI_ADMIN_TITLE = 'My Project v{}'.format(my_project.__version__)


(Here the Grappelli plugin uses this in the headers of all its admin 
templates.)

Having a hard time installing Graphite on Windows 7

['nate dingo' via Django users]

I am following the instruction on this document.

http://www.s2-industries.com/wordpress/2013/01/running-graphite-webapp-on-windows



   - Install Python 2.7 (as mentioned in the other blog post)
   - Install PyPi (as mentioned in the other blog post)
   - Install PythonGTK+ (for Cairo graphics) from here 
   
<http://ftp.gnome.org/pub/GNOME/binaries/win32/pygtk/2.24/pygtk-all-in-one-2.24.0.win32-py2.7.msi>
   - Install Django using a package from here 
   <https://www.djangoproject.com/download/>. In my case, I used Django 
   1.4.2. Drop me a message if Graphite WebApp also works with newer versions 
   of Django. 
   - Install twisted using: 
   
   pip install Twisted
   
   - Install zope.interface using: 
   
   pip install zope.interface
   
   
Then where do I go? I have also installed GitHub and Pycairo, and 
"pygtk-all-in-one-2.24.0.win32-py2.7(2).msi"

Whisper scripts are in my python27/scripts but carbon and web-apps produce 
error messages when I try to load them using:

git clone https://github.com/graphite-project/graphite-web.git
git clone https://github.com/graphite-project/carbon.git
git clone https://github.com/graphite-project/whisper.git


Am I even in the ball park?

Thanks
Nate

Bilingual Content Creation

[Nate]

I'm making a Django site that will have Spanish and English content.

I know I will be using 
i18n. 
I want users to be able to create and translate content easily from the 
django admin. 

I am wondering how I should implement this.

I've looked at these apps:

   - Rosetta 
   - transdb 
   - multi-lingual 

And I've also read that one option would be to create duplicate model 
fields renamed with _en and _es suffixes accordingly.

What's the slickest route to go?

Encrypting PK in URL

[nate]

I saw a thread on this previously but it does not seem to have a solution.  
I used this thread 
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/2291176/django-python-and-link-encryption 
as a base and created encrypt and decrypt functions for the pk.  I encrypt 
and quote and use smart_unicode to create my url.  They come out looking 
something like this:  %FA8%01%5B%9D%93_%B6%F5%3D%3A%23ij%01%8B.  it does 
not work.  I changed the core as mentioned on this ticket 
https://code.djangoproject.com/attachment/ticket/5738/unicode_url_bug.patch 
and I was able to get the error it was throwing.  The encrypted URL does 
not seem to be going thru all the way as the URL in the error statements 
looks something like this: _ij .  Is there another approach I can take? or 
Am I missing something here?  Also the url is set to something like this: 
/path/(.+)

Re: sending django email via gmail

[nate]

everything looks correct.  I also use gmail and I have exactly what you 
have and it is working for me.  The only difference I see is the order and 
I'm not sure if that makes a difference.  My order is:

EMAIL_USE_TLS
EMAIL_HOST
EMAIL_PORT
EMAIL_HOST_USER
EMAIL_HOST_PASSWORD

Also are you using regular gmail or google apps???

Re: Json serialization help

[Nate]

Thank you for the suggestion.
I actually ended up extending Django's json serializer.  Here is the
code in case you or someone else needs to do something like this.

from django.core.serializers.json import Serializer as JsonSerializer
from django.utils.encoding import is_protected_type
class DisplayNameJsonSerializer(JsonSerializer):

def handle_field(self, obj, field):
value = field._get_val_from_obj(obj)

#If the object has a get_field_display() method, use it.
display_method = "get_%s_display" % field.name
if hasattr(obj, display_method):
self._current[field.name] = getattr(obj, display_method)()

# Protected types (i.e., primitives like None, numbers, dates,
# and Decimals) are passed through as is. All other values are
# converted to string first.
elif is_protected_type(value):
self._current[field.name] = value
else:
self._current[field.name] = field.value_to_string(obj)

Json serialization help

[Nate]

Hello,

I'm new to Django and having a problem with serialization.

I am trying to serialize a model that has a CharField with choices,
and the json serializer returns json with the choices' database values
instead of display values.
Is there a way to get the json serializer to use the choices's display
values?

Here is a brief example (I haven't tested it but I think it
illustrates the problem):

In the models file:
from django.db import models
from django.utils.translation import ugettext_lazy as _
class Foo(models.Model):
SAMPLE_CHOICES = (('db_name1', _('Display Name 1')),
('db_name_2',_('Display Name 2')))
choice_field = models.CharField(max_length = 10, choices =
SAMPLE_CHOICES)

If there is one Foo in the database, with a value of db_name1 for
choice_field, and I call get_foo_json(), with:

def get_foo_json()
foos = Foo.objects.all()
json_serializer = serializers.get_serializer("json")()
response = HttpResponse()
json_serializer.serialize(foos, ensure_ascii=False,
stream=response)
return response

The response is something like:
'Content-Type: text/html; charset=utf-8\n\n[{"pk": 1, "model":
"MyApp.foo", "fields": {"choice_field": "db_name1"}}]'

I would like to get something like:
'Content-Type: text/html; charset=utf-8\n\n[{"pk": 1, "model":
"MyApp.foo", "fields": {"choice_field": "Display Name 1"}}]'

Thank you for your help,

-Nate

Re: Setting up EC2 for Django

[Nate Aune]

If you don't need SSH access to the machines that power this whole setup, 
you can use DjangoZoom, our one-click Django deployment and hosting service. 
It's built on top of Amazon and uses Nginx, PostgreSQL and as of a few days 
ago, we also now support Mercurial. The only gotcha might be Solr which we 
don't support yet, but you could probably connect a 3rd party Solr provider 
such as http://websolr.com to satisfy that requirement.

Sign up for the beta at http://djangozoom.com and mention that you heard 
about it on this thread to get an invite.

You might find some answers in the recent survey that Boston companies using 
Django filled out. You can see the results of the survey here:
http://djangozoom.com/blog/2011/04/03/companies-boston-using-django/

We asked 3 simple questions:


   - What are you using Django for?
   - Why did you choose Django?
   - How long have you been using Django?

45 companies have shared what they are using Django for and why they chose 
Django over competing web frameworks. Jesse Noller from Nasuni also shared 
his reasons for choosing Django 
here: http://www.nasuni.com/news/nasuni-blog/thanks-to-django/

Re: What is the best server for Django

I can't help you with your WebFaction questions, but I'd like to hear more 
about your needs for reselling Django hosting for your customers. Do you 
expect that you will give your customers access to their own hosting 
account, or will you manage this for them and just pass on the costs to

You might want to try Nginx proxying to Gunicorn. This is what we use for 
DjangoZoom and it works really well. Pretty easy to set up as well. Here are 
a few resources that provide instructions for how to set it up:
http://www.rkblog.rk.edu.pl/w/p/deploying-django-project-gunicorn-and-nginx/

Or if you don't want to mess around with Nginx/Apache/Gunicorn 
configuration, our DjangoZoom service takes care of all of this stuff for 
you. We check out your code and in less than a minute, return a public URL 
of your live running app. You never even have to touch the server! 

We're focused on providing the best deployment and hosting experience for 
Django developers.

Re: Django app and Amazon AWS (beginner)

[Nate Aune]

Hi Nai,

It takes some tinkering to get a production deployment of a Django app 
working well. One of the founders of Django, Jacob Kaplan Moss, presented a 
Django deployment workshop at last year's PyCon.  Video: 
http://pycon.blip.tv/file/3632436/  
Code: https://github.com/jacobian/django-deployment-workshop  

If you want to get your Django app deployed up on Amazon's infrastructure 
and don't want to mess around with config files and servers, I invite you to 
try out our DjangoZoom service which is built on top of Amazon's AWS 
infrastructure. http://djangozoom.com  We take care of all the server-side 
stuff, so you don't have to. 

You just point us at your code repo and in less than a minute, we return a 
public URL of your live running app. The service is in a private beta right 
now, but if you sign up for the beta, we'll try to get an invite to you 
soon.  We welcome any feedback on how to make it the best hosting service 
for Django developers!

thanks,
Nate

Re: Deploying django. Please specify the steps.

[Nate Aune]

You are not alone. We've seen many folks struggle with the deployment of 
Django. It can be done but it requires some reading up on documentation on 
various components in the stack. I suggest that you watch Jacob Kaplan Moss' 
Django deployment workshop video at: http://pycon.blip.tv/file/3632436/

If you'd rather not have to deal with the complexities of deploying your 
Django app to a production server, I welcome you to try out 
DjangoZoom<http://djangozoom.com>, 
a turnkey deployment and hosting platform specifically designed with the 
needs of Django developers in mind. 

You simply point us at your code on Github, and in less than a minute we 
provide you with a public URL of your live running app. We take care of all 
the server setup and management for you, so you can get back to writing 
code!

Re: How can I show a list of values in a text input field?

[Nate Reed]

Bill, thanks for your reply.  I considered rendering the form
manually, and that would be a fine solution.  I ended up creating a
custom widget (MultiValueTextWidget) that joins the input values.  I
don't know if this is the best solution, but it solves the problem of
rendering the values as a single input field:

class MultiValueTextWidget(TextInput):
def _get_value(self, value):
return " ".join(value)

def _format_value(self, value):
if self.is_localized:
return formats.localize_input(self._get_value(value))
return self._get_value(value)

Overriding __str__ (or was it __unicode__?  I don't have the code in
front of me) results in user-friendly values being rendered instead of
object id's.

My form has a clean method which splits the values and validates them,
and the view handles splitting the input and setting the many-to-many
relation.

I realize this is an unconventional way to render many-to-many
relations in a form, but in this particular case that's how I wanted
to allow the user to see and edit the values.

Thanks,
Nate

How can I show a list of values in a text input field?

[Nate Reed]

I posted this question on StackOverflow, too.  I have defined a Model
with a ManyToManyField, and I want the field to show the values joined
by spaces, for example:



I have defined the form to use CharField to represent the multiple values:

class MyForm(ModelForm):
foo = CharField(label='Foo')
class Meta:
model = MyModel

Instead of showing the values separated by spaces, the input field
shows this instead:

[u'val1', u'val2', u'val3']

How can I override this behavior?  My understanding is that widgets
are responsible for rendering the input.  Is there an example of a
custom widget that does something like this?

problem loading custom template tag

[Nate Reed]

Hi, I'm using Django 1.2.1 and I'm having problems trying to load my
template tags:

{% load mytags %}

TemplateSyntaxError at /myapp/

'mytags' is not a valid tag library: Template library mytags not
found, tried django.templatetags.mytags

It's defined in myproject/myapp/templatetags/mytags.py.

n...@nate-desktop:~/work/django-projects/myproject$ ls myapp/templatetags/
mytags.py  __init.py__
n...@nate-desktop:~/work/django-projects/myproject$ more
myapp/templatetags/mytags.py
from django import template

register = template.Library()

@register.simple_tag
def myclass(request):
return request.path

I added 'myapp' to INSTALLED_APPS, and updated TEMPLATE_LOADERS (as
per a suggestion from StackOverflow):
TEMPLATE_LOADERS = (
'django.template.loaders.filesystem.Loader',
'django.template.loaders.app_directories.Loader',
'django.template.loaders.eggs.Loader',
'django.template.loaders.app_directories.load_template_source',
)

When I start the server I see this warning message:

/usr/local/lib/python2.6/dist-packages/django/template/loaders/eggs.py:4:
UserWarning: Module _mysql was already imported from
/usr/lib/pymodules/python2.6/_mysql.so, but
/usr/lib/pymodules/python2.6 is being added to sys.path

When I try to import my module in the shell I also am unable to import it:

>>> from django.templatetags import mytags
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "", line 1, in 
ImportError: cannot import name mytags
>>> from myapp.templatetags import mytags
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "", line 1, in 
ImportError: No module named templatetags

Does this mean something is wrong with my path or setup?  Any ideas?

Thanks,
Nate

Help me with render_to_response!

[Nate]

I'm teaching myself django and I'm having an issue with
render_to_response.  I am passing it a template and a dictionary.
When I view the page on a local host, it displays the entire template,
including HTML tags, instead of formatting the page according to the
tags.  I don't have this issue when I hard code in the template
rendering and use HttpResponse.  Any suggestions would be
appreciated.  Thanks!

django-admin.py complains about missing DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE

[Nate Reed]

The admin tool is complaining about this environment variable, but I've
never had this problem before on this box.  I'm not sure what's changed
since the last time I used it.

I tried specifying the path:

$ django-admin.py syncdb --settings=mysite.settings
Error: Could not import settings 'mysite.settings' (Is it on sys.path? Does
it have syntax errors?): No module named mysite.settings

What's the fix for this (short of modifying django-admin.py to add my
project to the python import path)?

I'm using django 1.0 (from SVN).

Re: problem with sorl-thumbnail invalid image

[Nate Reed]

No, I didn't create the image.  I'm guessing you chose the "Interlaced"
option, or that "Adobe Photoshop PNG" is an interlaced PNG format.  I'm not
that familiar with Photoshop.

Re: problem with sorl-thumbnail invalid image

As a workaround I used Gimp to convert this image to a compatible format
before uploading it.  Hopefully my users won't mind this limitation.  It
does seem a rather glaring omission from PIL, though, doesn't it?

problem with sorl-thumbnail invalid image

[Nate Reed]

I have a model that uses sorl-thumbnail.ImageWithThumbnailsField:

class Vendor(models.Model):
url = models.URLField()
logo = ImageWithThumbnailsField(
blank = True,
null = True,
upload_to = 'logos',
thumbnail={'size': (80, 80)}
)

When I try to create a new Vendor using a particular PNG file (it would
works for some PNG's but not this one) in my admin interface, I get the
following error for the 'logo' field:

"Upload a valid image. The file you uploaded was either not an image or a
corrupted image."

I've verified this image is not corrupted, and it's a valid PNG file.  Also,
the error doesn't seem to be coming from PIL:

>>> import Image
>>> im = Image.open('my_logo.png')
>>> print im.format, im.size, im.mode
PNG (142, 49) P

Here's the format/size/mode for one that works fine with image uploading:
PNG (420, 420) RGBA

Any ideas?  How can I find where this error is originating?

There's no mention of it in the section on the admin site.  Is __unicode__
used for anything else?

customizing admin interface: showing descriptive names for objects

[Nate Reed]

I'm working on an admin interface for my app, and wondering how to customize
what gets displayed.

Under Home->MyModels->MyModels, MyModel instances are listed as "MyModel
object."  When editing another model, the foreign key reference to MyModel
gets displayed as a list of:

MyModel object
MyModel object

etc

I'd like it to make it show MyModel.name instead.  How is this changed?

Can QuerySet methods combine filters with an "OR" conjunction?

[Nate Morse]

Before I go down the road of writing SQL by hand or using
QuerySet.extra(...) [ don't know much about that yet:], I thought I
would ask if there is a way to achieve (within the QuerySet methods)
something like
...WHERE field_a = 'abc' OR field_b = '123' ...?

It seems if I do:
rs = mymodel.filter(field_a = 'abc', field_b = '123')

it produces an AND conjunction (fine in most cases, but I would like
"OR" instead).

need to override validation logic

[Nate]

I have a form that requires more complex validation logic than is
provided through the default form.is_valid implementation.

As an example, I have a form with properties A and B.  One of A or B
must be set.  If neither is set, a validation error should be raised.
Can someone show me an example of overriding is_valid()?  Ideally, I
would want the validation error associated not with an individual form
field, but with the entire form.

Also, this kind of "business logic" probably belongs in the model
itself.  Judging from previous threads, it looks like model validation
is a work in progress.  Is it ready in 1.0?  What is the suggested
approach for what I want to accomplish?

Nate

Re: Many-To-Many with extra fields

[Nate Thelen]

Yeah, that would work, too.  I was thinking more like if you got the
ringo like this:

ringo = Person.objects.select_related(depth=2).get(name='ringo')

how could you get the data without having to make another DB call.

Ideas?

Re: Many-To-Many with extra fields

[Nate Thelen]

So if I have a Person object "ringo" and I want to get info about the
Groups he is a member of, I would do this:

for group in ringo.group_set.all()
print( group.name )

My question is, how do I print the "date_joined" without having to do
this:

for group in ringo.group_set.all()
print( Membership.objects.get(person=ringo,
group=group).date_joined )

That seems very DB inefficient.

Many-To-Many with extra fields

[Nate Thelen]

Looking at the docs here:

http://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/topics/db/models/#extra-fields-on-many-to-many-relationships

I cannot find any reference to how to access the data in the
"Membership" table.  For example, if I have a reference to the
"beatles" object, how do I find the "date_joined" for each of the
"Person" objects.  I have looked through the other sections of the
documentation, searched this group, and searched via Google, but
couldn't find the info.

OneToOneField value not selected in default html form

[nate]

Hi,

The values of OneToOneFields don't appear to remain selected after
creation or update in default forms (such as those used by the admin
interface). I Looked for a bug report but didnt see one. Has anyone
else run into this?

Take the following set of models:

class Thing1(models.Model):
name = models.CharField(max_length=20)

class Thing2(models.Model):
name = models.CharField(max_length=20)

class OTOTest(models.Model):
other = models.OneToOneField('Thing1')

class FKTest(models.Model):
other = models.ForeignKey('Thing2')


---

Now, creating an OTOTest with a Thing1, and clicking save and continue
editing, will present a form with "-" selected (not the Thing1
that you just set).

Another test:

from hosts.models import *
from django.forms import ModelForm, model_to_dict

t1 = Thing1.objects.create(name='thing1')
oto = OTOTest.objects.create(other=t1)
class OTOTestForm(ModelForm):
  class Meta:
model = OTOTest

oto_form = OTOTestForm(instance=oto)
unicode(oto_form)

u'Other:\n-\nThing1
object\n'

(note selected is on the  option)

t2 = Thing2.objects.create(name='thing2')
fk = FKTest.objects.create(other=t2)
class FKTestForm(ModelForm):
  class Meta:
model = FKTest

fk_form = FKTestForm(instance=fk)
unicode(fk_form)

u'Other:\n-
\nThing2 object\n'

(note selected is on the Thing2 object, as expected)

Protecting static files

[Nate]

Hi all,
I've been googling for days and haven't really found a good solution
to my problem.

I am building a site where a user can view photos and then choose
which of the photos they want to purchase. (Weddings/parties/HS
graduation etc...) My client doesn't want other users of the site to
be able to access another user's event photos.
So far the only way I can think to truly secure photos from another
user is to serve the image up through Django, but the website says
it's inefficient and insecure. Honestly, the inefficiency, I can
probably deal with as this site will be for a local photographer who
probably won't be getting millions of hits per day, but the insecurity
is what I'm worried about.

I read django's way of protecting static files, but that only limits
it to a group of people and not an individual.

Can anyone help me?

Thanks!

I see three xapp directories in this one, that doesn't seem right.  I
didn't see any xappx directories.

There is one in the Python Standard Library[1], but I haven't used it.
Perhaps someone else on the list has.

When I was migrating my site from Zope to Django I added a migrate.py
module to the app I was migrating to.  In there I wrote a function to do
the migration.  I would run it like this:

# python manage.py shell
>>> from blog.migrate import loadCOREBlog

In loadCOREBlog I loaded all of the Zope libraries and started iterating
through whatever needed to be migrated.  When I detected a problem I
would use Python's code.interact function to get a shell at that point
in my script to help deal with any unexpected migration issues.

Re: Navigating the Documentation

[Nate Finch]

Hi, thanks for the very reasoned, and thorough response to a somewhat
bitchy post.  My apologies, I was tired and frustrated, so the email
came off a bit more edgy than I really intended.

Those links do help a lot.  I'll try to gather my thoughts into a more
constructive suggestion.  I guess the thing I'd like to see is a
complete tree view of all documentation pages.

Anyway, thanks again.

Navigating the Documentation

[Nate Finch]

Am I the only one who has a hellish time trying to navigate Django's
online documentation? (here: http://www.djangoproject.com/documentation/)

There seems to be no good table of contents for what is in the
documentation, and no good way to navigate once you hit a specific
page.

For example, the page on generic relations:
http://www.djangoproject.com/documentation/models/generic_relations/

No breadcrumbs so you can go up in the document heirarchy, just a link
to the root documentation page

If you go to the root, you'll notice there's no link to this generic
relations page.

The generic relations page is numbered as #34.  I have no idea what
that means, since I can't seem to find a numbered list of pages
anywhere.


Am I missing some really obvious main page that gives a better
starting point for finding information in the docs?  Even just a flat
listing of links to each documentation page and a short description of
what it contains would be a godsend.

get_next_by_FIELD and alternate managers

[nate-django]

In my blog I take advantage of get_next_by_FIELD (pub_date in this case)
for navigation to older and newer stories in my entry detail view.  I
also have a flag in my entry model that says whether or not a blog entry
is published.  I defined an alternate manager called "published" to make
it easier to pick out only published entries.

My problem is that my older/newer navigation that uses
entry.get_next_by_pub_date also picks up unpublished entries.  Is there
a way to tell get_next_by_pub_date to use the manager "published"
instead of "objects?"

This thread has peaked my interest so I did some code digging.  I was
thinking that overriding the class name didn't seem like a smart choice.
I thought it would be nice if the creation code would check the parent
class's name if it couldn't find the current class name in DATA_TYPES.

Upon inspection of the code I found it was calling get_internal_type()
for each field.  If you look in db/models/fields/__init__.py you'll
find that this is used in EmailField which subclasses CharField.

class EmailField(CharField):
...
def get_internal_type(self):
return "CharField"

Now I'll have to try creating some custom fields myself. :)

My blog is now Django -- source is available

[nate-django]

Since so many people are developing their own blogs in Django, I thought
it would be good to announce that the source code to mine is now
available.  Mine is probably of most interest to people migrating from
COREBlog or other Zope blogging software.

Browse: http://refried.org/viewvc/viewvc.py/refriedorg
svn co http://refried.org/svn/refriedorg

My implementation is a very simple, multi-user blog.  The most important
feature to me was a complete migration from COREBlog.  I was able to
import all of my COREBlog entries, with images and comments.

My to do list includes:
 - style the comment form
 - More blog centric admin interface
  - show unapproved comments
  - Make retagging entries easy
  - Ability to preview the entry while editting
 - Photo manager and gallery

P.S. I also have Jacob's sudoku app ported to magic-removal in there.

He said he used parts of it.  He was impressed with the speed of the
templating system and made reference to the article on Django's speed vs
RoR.  I was pleased that he accurately recalled how Django got started.

It was a great podcast.  I recommend listening to it if you haven't
already.  There were some interesting insights on Python design, past
and future.

So does your database only have one user created and you specify that in
the settings file or whenever you want to inspect the database by hand?

I'm under the impression that having a separate database user for the
web server and the developer is the Right Thing To Do(tm).
Unfortunately I don't find anything in the documentation, wiki, or
archives to support that idea.

Managing database privileges

[nate-django]

I am in the process of moving my Django project from using the
development server to Apache and mod_python.  I created the PostgreSQL
databases as myself and ran the development server as myself.  Now that
I'm getting stuff going with mod_python, it'll start running as user
"www-data" under Apache.  I would like to allow "www-data" to access my
development database while I verify everything works.  I've found that I
have to grant access to every table that Django wants to query.

How do people manage the user and privilege aspect of a Django
deployment?  Do you all access that database with the same user as
created the database?  Do you grant access to each table that the web
server needs to query?

I'm coming from a similar camp.  I've had a blog running on Zope with
COREBlog for about a year and a half.  I want to be able to move all of
my content over without losing anything.

The good news is that I've gotten most of the way.  The bad news is that
I still haven't switched over.  I currently have a weblog implementation
modelled after the COREBlog metadata.  I have a migration tool that I
run via the Django shell.  It converts all of my entries and comments.

I'm hung up on a few things.

1. Photo handling

  I have quite a few dozen entries with photos (out of 100+) and I want
  to add lots more.  I currently crop the images down to an acceptable
  size and include them inline to the story.  I would like to have some
  more advanced way of handling images so visitors can get full size
  images easily, so I can put up film-strips and slide shows.

2. Comments

  I like the ideas behind the comments API the ships with Django, but
  the metadata collected doesn't match up with what COREBlog was using.
  I started creating a new comments API that is a blend of Django and
  COREBlog, but I keep getting stuck and procrastinating.  What has me
  hung up at the moment is that I want to store the IP address of the
  commentor.  I don't want it edittable, but I want it displayed in the
  admin interface.

I started hacking on this pre-magic removal and I have since removed
most of the magic from my code.  I always admired Zope, but Django seems
a lot easier to get a long with.

Manipulators and non-editable fields

new_data = request.POST.copy()
new_data['object_id'] = object_id
new_data['content_type'] = content_type_id
new_data['date'] = datetime.datetime.now()

How are the images integrated into the articles?

This is something I'm working on for my blog implementation.  My current
design has a model Entry to hold blog entries and a model Attachment so
I can attach images to an Entry.

class Entry(meta.Model):
title = meta.CharField(maxlength=100)
subtitle = meta.CharField(maxlength=100, blank=True)
pub_date = meta.DateTimeField('date published')
author = meta.ForeignKey(User)
status = meta.CharField(maxlength=32, 
choices=STATUS_CHOICES, 
default='Draft',
radio_admin=True)
tags = meta.ManyToManyField(Tag)
body = meta.TextField()
format = meta.PositiveIntegerField(choices=FORMAT_CHOICES, 
default=4,
radio_admin=True)

class Attachment(meta.Model):
entry = meta.ForeignKey(Entry, edit_inline=meta.TABULAR, num_in_admin=2)
url = meta.CharField('URL', maxlength=200, core=True)
file = meta.FileField('Attachment', upload_to='attachments')

To display the attachments in an Entry I reference the URL of the
attachment in the body of the entry.  This worked for me on the detail
page of the entry, but not a list of entries.  :(

After looking around the 'Net for ways people are referencing images in
blogs and articles, it appears that everyone just dumps all of their
images into one directory.  This doesn't feel very clean to me, but I
might have to give in.

I haven't had any problems with the data base and the FileField I'm
using.  I see problems with the error handling in the edit_inline
templates.  It seems that the field groups were recently wrapped and now
the templates can't find the error messages for edit_inline fields
anymore.  Yeah, I should file a bug on it. ;)

add "*.pyc" to this space separated list.

Unfortunately this is a per-user solution, but you could add this to the
user skeleton or just tell everyone to adjust this setting.

You need to specify the hostname and port with runserver.

i.e. python manage.py runserver hostname:port

It defaults to 127.0.0.1.

Adrian,

Thanks a lot!  I appreciate the fast response.  One other question.  Is
there a way to make the admin app render a text field as a password
field?

Thanks again!

Nate

Modelling Help

[Nate Drake]

Hi there,

I'm not sure if the is the best place to ask, but I have some questions
about how to best define my model in Django.  I'm still fairly new to
Python and really new to Django, so if you see that I've done something
stupid, feel free to correct me.

I'm trying to build a simple (American) football pool app.  I've
included my current model at the end of my post.  It is currently VERY
simple, as I was just messing around getting a feel for Django.  The
questions I have mostly relate to the relations between games, game
results, teams.

1) What is the "best" way to define the relationship between one Game
and the two Teams that are playing the game?
2) When I use the admin interface to create a new "Game Result", it
displays two drop-downs for selecting teams.  It currently lists all
the teams in the DB.  Is there a way to restrict the items in the
drop-down to only include the two teams that played in that specific
game?
3) When creating a new Game via the admin interface, the drop-downs for
the two teams are both labeled "Team".  Is there a way to change the
labels to "Home Team" and "Away Team"?

Thanks for any advice you can give!

Nate
