[ANN] My Django powered website for web based learning
Hello, I have created a Django powered website for open learning which organizes various computer science related course videos in the form of structured courses. Many thanks to the excellent Django and Python community for helping me get through the issues I faced. The website is hosted at: http://www.adaptivelearningonline.net I also plan to open source the code (as soon as I clean it up :-) ) -- Thanks & Regards Parag Shah http://blog.adaptivesoftware.biz --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.

Re: Saving ModelForm with commit=False seems to be generating an INSERT in the database
Thanks, you both are right. user_form.save() is causing the INSERT of the related UserProfile object. The User object in question here is django.contrib.auth's User object. It knows about the UserProfile model object from the following line in settings.py AUTH_PROFILE_MODULE = 'courses.userprofile' I can unserstand the need to create a blank UserProfile object when a User object is created (perhaps to ensure that a User always has a UserProfile... even if it's an empty one) I tried to changing my code, so I update the user_profile_form after saving the user_form. But that gives me an error because it cannot find the related object. Now I am in a situation where if I try to save both the forms, I get a duplicate key error, and if I try to update the user_profile_form, the primary key of the related User is not found. I think this may be because the save and update are happening on the same transaction because of the transaction middleware I am using. Is there a good solution to this problem? -- Thanks & Regards Parag Shah http://blog.adaptivesoftware.biz <a...@clearwind.ca> wrote: > >> Why is an INSERT statement being generated even though I have >> commit=False?

Saving ModelForm with commit=False seems to be generating an INSERT in the database
Hello,
I have a UserProfile Model object which has the
django.contrib.auth.models.User as it's ForeignKey.
There is a register function in the view module, which goes like this:
def register(request):
if request.method == 'POST':
user_form = UserCreationForm(request.POST)
user_profile_form = UserProfileForm(request.POST)
if user_form.is_valid() and user_profile_form.is_valid():
user = user_form.save()
user_profile = user_profile_form.save(commit=False)
user_profile.user = user
user_profile.save()
return HttpResponseRedirect("/")
The statement
user_profile = user_profile_form.save(commit=False)
is causing the following statement to appear in the MySql log
INSERT INTO `courses_userprofile` (`user_id`, `full_name`, `email`,
`website`, `timezone`, `bio`) VALUES (39, '', '', '', '', '')
And then the statement
user_profile.save()
is causing another INSERT statement
INSERT INTO `courses_userprofile` (`user_id`, `full_name`, `email`,
`website`, `timezone`, `bio`) VALUES (39, 'Test User10',
'testus...@ten.com', '', '', '')
Why is an INSERT statement being generated even though I have
commit=False? The two inserts are causing an Exception which prevent
the actual user data from being saved (a row in the
courses_userprofile table does get created, but with all columns
except the id being blank)
Am I doing something incorrect?

Thanks & Regards
Parag Shah

Converting some objects during serialization
Hello, I am serializing an QuerySet into json for being used by Javascript in the browser. One of the fields which is serialized is a Django DateTime field. When it is serialized, it gets represented as -mm-dd hh:mm:ss However in the browser I would like to display the date as 'August 5, 2009 4:12' One way to do this is to accept whatever String Django generates and then parse it in Javascript to display what I want to display. Another way is to get the desired format in the serialized JSON String. Is it possible to control the serialization process to change some data as it is being serialized, or alternately associate some format with the QuerySet so that it returns the date in a certain format? -- Thanks & Regards Parag Shah --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.

Re: How to design a new website? (about apps)
If the extra user information will be needed by other apps (forum and poll, etc) then it should be a separate app such that other apps can depend on it (I do not know if there is a formal way in Django to specify such a dependency) The image upload form and browser can be one app, and the forum can (as you mentioned) be a separate app as well.
