Re: ComboBox

[Phil Parkin]

Thanks for the responses. 
*rgam* - I appreciate what you are saying. I think it is roughly what I am 
doing now, but it is a bit clumsy in that  the user (of a financial 
application) will typically have a list of regular  customers to select 
from, and also may have other customers that are one-off, or infrequent 
which they will not want to clutter their options list with but still need 
to record against a transaction.
*Ryan *- thanks, the datalist looks like it might be right option. I will 
look at custom widgets.

All the best - Phil

ComboBox

[Phil Parkin]

Hi all

I am converting a desktop application to Django web application. The 
desktop app uses comboboxes (editable dropdown/select). Is their any 
elegant way of applying the same functionality in Django? Stack Overflow 
etc. all seem to be about dropdown select lists only.

I can see ways of doing this with a Choicefield plus a separate Charfield, 
but is there a better way?

Thanks -Phil

best way to display static python monitoring thread output

[Phil Kauffman]

Hello,

Wondering if I can bounce my problem off some folks for an idea of how to 
solve it.

My colleague and I are trying to pull in a python Rest API library for a 
piece of software. Rather than have end users run scripts we wanted to make 
a basic gui for them. I've got the basic tests working fine but one area 
we're lacking is the monitoring status.

I'm struggling conceptually with how to handle a static monitoring thread 
that queries an API server that's running processes that I need to know the 
status of. 

The API server doesn't support stateful sessions for streaming data so I 
have a python monitoring thread that periodically re-queries the API 
gateway for test status. Works great from a CLI, but no sure how to handle 
it in Django. 

If anyone can provide some insight into a viable method for this please let 
me know. 

Thanks

Re: understanding urls, forms, and HTTP ERROR 405

[Phil Kauffman]

So something like this?
def site(request, site_id):
site = get_object_or_404(Site.name, pk=site_id)

def sitesubmit(request):
#site=get_object_or_404(Site, pk=site_id)
form = SelectSite()
if request.method == 'POST':
form = SelectSite(request.POST)
if form.is_valid():
instance = form.save(commit=False)
instance.name = site.site_id
instance.save()
else:
form = SelectSite()
return render(request, 'app/home.html', {'form': form})

I'm just learning this stuff. If you can think of any posts or examples 
please let me know.

understanding urls, forms, and HTTP ERROR 405

[Phil Kauffman]

Hello,

Newbie in need of a little shove. It seems I need to review the purpose of 
the urls.py file. At present I am getting an HTTP Error 405 with the 
following:

urls.py:
path('', views.show_site, name = 'home'),
path('site-view', views.List.as_view(), name='site-view')

views.py
class List(ListView):
def get_queryset(self, *args, **kwargs):
return Profile.objects.filter(sitename_id=self.kwargs['pk'])
def show_site(request):
form = SelectSite()
if request.method == 'POST':
form = SelectSite(request.POST)
if form.is_valid():
pass
else:
form = SelectSite()
return render(request, 'app/home.html', {'form': form})

home.html
{% extends 'app\base.html' %}

{% block title %}Site Home{% endblock %}
{% block content %}
This Form is Terrible
{% csrf_token %}
 {{form}}

Any guidance would be greatly appreciated.

Re: How to pass pk through URL to CreateView

[Phil Kauffman]

Hello,

Did you get any headway on this issue? I'm a novice Django user but was 
thinking of doing something similar with my code for a project I'm working 
on. I'm struggling with reverse lookup on foreign key.

Have you had any issues doing reverse lookup on FK? 

For example in a view if you wanted to filter the Jobs class by 
Company_Name, by using a pk, is that working for you?



Thanks

Re: filter objects dynamically on page render based on button click (beginner question)

[Phil Kauffman]

Bill,

Thank You for taking the time to respond. I will definitely need to read up 
on the options you presented. My first inclination was to get familiar with 
the first option as it seems easiest. However, now that you mention VueJS I 
will look into that as well.

filter objects dynamically on page render based on button click (beginner question)

[Phil Kauffman]

Hello, I am struggling with trying to filter child objects based on parent 
object selection on index.html (sites.html in example). On my sites.html, I 
list the office sites and a button to click for each, upon clicking I want 
to load the profile list for users only at that site, presently it's 
loading all profiles for all sites, which I assume is because the profiles 
are loaded statically no matter which button is clicked on sites.html.

I'm thinking I need a JS onclick event? 

models.py:
class Site(models.Model):

name = models.CharField(max_length=50)
date = models.DateField()
manager = models.CharField(max_length=50)

def save(self, *args, **kwargs):
super(Site, self).save(*args, **kwargs)
 
class Profile(models.Model):
Days = '1st'
Mids = '2nd'
Nights = '3rd'
Work_Schedule_Choices = [
  (Days, 'Day Shift'),
  (Mids, 'Mid Shift'),
  (Nights, 'Night Shift'),
]   
sitename = models.ForeignKey(Site, on_delete=models.CASCADE)
title = models.CharField(max_length=100)
schedule = models.CharField(max_length=3,choices=Work_Schedule_Choices,
default=Days)
totalusers = models.PositiveSmallIntegerField(default=1, validators=[
MinValueValidator(1), MaxValueValidator(50)])



views.py:
def sites(request):
sitelist = Site.objects.all()
return render (request, 'App/sites.html', {'sitelist' : sitelist})

def sitedetail(request):
site = Site.objects.filter()
if request.method == 'GET':
return render(request, 'App/site-detail.html', {'site': site, 
'profile_set': Profile.objects.all()})


sites.html (index)
{% extends 'App\base.html' %}
{% load crispy_forms_tags %}
{% block title %}Site Home{% endblock %}
{% block content %}
{% for Site in sitelist %}


{{ Site.name }}
View
  

{% empty %}

  Sorry, you haven't created any sites yet.
  
Add Site
Add Site
  

{% endfor %}
  
{% endblock %}


site-detail.html
{% extends 'App\base.html' %}
{% load crispy_forms_tags %}
{% block title %}Site Detail{% endblock %}
{% block content %}

manage.py not able to run any commands

[Phil Yang]

Hi, 
All of a sudden, when I tried to run manage.py runserver, it didn't produce 
any output, and it didn't do anything. In fact, the manage.py script seems 
to not be able to run other commands, such as startapp or createsuperuser.

I've already used the command many times prior, and it has always worked 
perfectly. 

Yes, Python is installed (I can run other scripts), but manage.py seems to 
have an issue.

Thanks.

manage.py can't run any commands

[Phil Yang]

Hi, 
The manage.py script for all my projects has suddenly stopped working. It 
can't run any commands, such as runserver or startapp.

Python is installed correctly; I have tested this with other scripts. I 
deleted Django and reinstalled, the problem still persists. 

Basically, whenever I run manage.py, there is no output.

Displaying single-line progress while a management command runs

[Phil Gyford]

I have a custom management command which calls a method in another class,
which fetches lots of data from a third-party API. Fetching the data could
take a few seconds or it could take over an hour, depending on the quantity.

I'd like to display progress on the command line, so the user knows the
command's still going but am struggling with a good way to do this.
Criteria:

a) A single line that updates as the task progresses.
b) That line doesn't display while running unit tests (or is very easy to
disable for tests).
c) That line doesn't display while running the command automatically (via
cron or whatever).

Things I've tried so far:

*1) Using print()*, e.g.:

print('Fetched %d of %d' % (n, total), end='\r')

In a loop, this nicely shows a single line that constantly updates with
progress. But print() is nasty and when I run my unit tests, this output is
displayed among the testing output. I assume it'll also be a pain to have
that output when running the commands scheduled with cron (or whatever).

*2) Using Django logging.* This is "better" than print(), and doesn't mess
up test output, but as far as I can tell there's no way to display a
single, constantly updated, line showing progress. It's only going to show
one line after another:

Fetched 1 of 3000
Fetched 2 of 3000
Fetched 3 of 3000

*3) Using tqdm* <https://pypi.python.org/pypi/tqdm>. Makes it easy to
display a command line progress bar but, again, I end up with loads of
progress bars displaying in my test output, and I assume it'll do the same
when scheduling the task to run.


Have I missed a standard way to do this? Or is there a way I haven't found
to easily suppress tqdm's output during tests and when running the task
scheduled? I can't be the first to have wanted this...

Thanks,
Phil

TypeError: unbound method save() must be called with NagiosLog instance as first argument (got nothing instead)

[Phil F]

Hi,

I am attempting to write a python script that will populate the Django db 
from data stored in a dictionary.

I'm currently getting the error :"TypeError: unbound method save() must be 
called with NagiosLog instance as first argument (got nothing instead)"

from incidents.models import NagiosLog
import django
xcount = 0

for k,v in myDic.items():
iincidentnumber = k
itime =v[0]
idevice =v[2]
iservice =v[3]
iseverity =v[4]
imessage =v[5]
print "%r %r %r %r %r" % (itime,idevice,iservice,iseverity,imessage,) 
 ## prints successfully, code working until here
xcount= xcount+1
if xcount == 1:   # count to run django setup a single time
django.setup()
k = NagiosLog(
incident = iincidentnumber,
time = itime,
device = idevice,
service = iservice,
severity = iseverity,
message = imessage,)
NagiosLog.save()
else:
k = NagiosLog(
incident = iincidentnumber,
time = itime,
device = idevice,
service = iservice,
severity = iseverity,
message = imessage,)
NagiosLog.save()

This is my models file:

from django.db import models

from django.utils import timezone
import datetime

class NagiosLog(models.Model):
incident= models.CharField(primary_key=True, max_length=80)
time= models.CharField(max_length=80, blank=True, null=True)
device  = models.CharField(max_length=80, blank=True, null=True)
service = models.CharField(max_length=80, blank=True, null=True)
severity= models.CharField(max_length=20, blank=True, null=True)
message = models.CharField(max_length=250, blank=True, 
null=True)

Any help appreciated !

Thanks, Phil.

referencing choices tuples

[Phil Hughes]

I have a typical set of choices tuples that are then referenced in a 
choices=... reference in a field definition. It does, well, what it is 
supposed to do.

But, I have a situation where I need to change the value of the field to "a 
different choice" in code in the view (rather than as a from choice).
It seems like it should be trivial but, for some reason, my brain is not 
creating the right code.

Re: I all django's user I'm new here and also new to Python+ django technology. but i wanna learn phython........

[Phil]

Hi,

There are lots of excellent resources online to learn Django. I am myself 
going through that process. 

The best place to get started is, of course, the excellent Django 
documentation: https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.5/intro/tutorial01/

Finally, once you have a good grasp on the basics, I would recommend the 
excellent https://django.2scoops.org/. Their book will really take you to 
the next level, and if you can't afford to buy it, they will give it you 
for free. In the same vein, http://www.deploydjango.com/ is very 
interesting. Of course Google will yield tons of other interesting blogs on 
the topic.

For Python itself, http://learnpythonthehardway.org/ or (my favourite) 
http://www.diveintopython.net/ are excellent resources to get you started.

Regards,
Phil

Re:

Shouldn't you dedicate a specific path to your flat pages, like this: 
(r'^pages/', include('django.contrib.flatpages.urls'))? The 
documentation<https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/ref/contrib/flatpages/>also 
indicates that you can use a "catchall" pattern, but AFTER any other 
URL patterns.

I am not a Django expert by any mean, but I don't think (r'', 
include('django.contrib.flatpages.urls')) works, since the regex is empty...

Re: Error.

[Phil]

How did you start your server? Using a command line such as "python 
manage.py runserver"? Or through your IDE (PyCharm, Eclipse, etc...)? 
Somewhere you mush have a window showing this kind of information:

Validating models...

0 errors found
July 27, 2013 - 12:33:15
Django version 1.5.1, using settings 'foo.settings.local'
Development server is running at http://127.0.0.1:8000/
Quit the server with CONTROL-C.

Note that if will be slightly different if you are using gunicorn or 
something else. Also, make sure your settings file contains "DEBUG = True".

Hi Kakar,

if you want to use Linux within Window, I strongly advise you to

Vagrant will bring up and running a Linux virtual server within minutes.

Re: Why Postgres over Mysql?

[phil...@bailey.st]

Hi frocco,

Mysql was recently aquired by Oracle and the future isn't very bright
for the database. So, if you have an application already using MySQL
you can easly switch to mariadb https://mariadb.org/ or percona server
www.percona.com. If you are starting a new project I strongly advise you
to go for PostgreSQL.

Below you can find a few articles on the topic.

How best to cache a queryset of Comments?

[Phil Gyford]

I have a site that uses the standard Django Comments app (well, a subclass
of it, with not many changes) for comments on different content types.

I'd like to be able to cache a list of comments, as fetching the comments
is one of the most frequent and slowest queries that's happening at the
moment.

But I can't see the simplest way to perform this caching. (I'm already
using the per-site cache for logged-out users and per-view cache on a few
views, using memcache.)

At the moment the queryset comes from RenderCommentListNode's render()
method <
https://github.com/django/django/blob/stable/1.5.x/django/contrib/comments/templatetags/comments.py#L200>
So I could subclass RenderCommentListNode, copy the render() method, and
add caching there... but it feels a bit clunky and hacky compared to most
customising I end up doing with Django these days... so is this the
best/only way?

Phil

Re: empty static_url

[Phil]

Hi Tom,

Thanks a million for the reply, you helped solve my issue.

Technically speaking, if that is your template, and you end up with 
"/css/style.css", then STATIC_URL is not empty, it is '/'. 

Yeah sorry, I should have just had "css/style.css" as I wasn't even getting 
the forward slash.

Yes thats correct, 1 project with 3 apps etc. I just changed the last line 
in my view(that wasn't working, not the 2 generic view ones) from...

return render_to_response('sales/index.html', {'sales_list': sales_list})

to...

return render_to_response('sales/index.html', {'sales_list': 
sales_list},context_instance=RequestContext(request))

and that did the job. Thanks again.

empty static_url

[Phil]

Hi,

I'm using django1.4.3

I have a django project with 3 apps. All 3 apps templates extend 
'app.html'. On 2 of my projects the CSS loads fine, but on third one the 
CSS doesn't get loaded because it's not adding '/static/' to the url to the 
CSS. So instead of '/static/css/style.css' I'm getting '/css/style.css' ...



STATIC_URL is working on the 2 projects that use generic views, but not on 
the other one. So how can 'STATIC_URL' be blank and how can this be fixed? 
I tried adding the following to my index.html template but no joy...

{% load static %}
{% get_static_prefix as STATIC_PREFIX %}

django setup advice for AWS Elastic Beanstalk

[Phil]

Hi,

I am following the steps here to setup django on aws...
http://docs.aws.amazon.com/elasticbeanstalk/latest/dg/create_deploy_Python_django.html

I got as far as step 6 but when I "git aws.push" I never see the django "it 
worked" page, only the green beanstalk page. I'm sure where I've gone wrong 
is where Ive placed particular files/ folders so was just looking for some 
advice/ clarification on where everything should be.

So I created my virtualenv("~/web/mysiteenv/"), activate it, pip installs 
etc. From inside that folder I create my djangoproject("mysite"). So the 
files/ folders I'm unsure about are the following:


   1. I run "git init" from "~/web/mysiteenv/mysite"
   2. Where should beanstalk folder("AWS-ElasticBeanstalk-CLI-2.2") be? I 
   had it at "~/web/mysiteenv"
   3. I run "eb start" from "~/web/mysiteenv/mysite"
   4. Where should I run "mkdir .ebextensions", I ran it inside 
   "~/web/mysiteenv/mysite" I put the config file in the ".ebextensions" 
   folder.

If anyone can see where I've gone wrong I would be very grateful to you. 
I've deleted the project so I can start over.

Re: virtualenv setup

[Phil]

Hi,

Thanks for reply. Yeah I activated the source(terminal has "venv" beside my 
username). I followed instructions here(so I pip installed django etc after 
getting virtualenv up and running)...

https://devcenter.heroku.com/articles/django#prerequisites

If I runserver thats when I get the error. If I runserver without 
activating source it works fine but that would be using my system wide 
python. Just need to figure out how to get it to recognise the virtualenv 
python.

virtualenv setup

[Phil]

Hi,

I have python/django working system wide. But am currently looking into 
using Heroku for a new project so am trying to get virtualenv setup for the 
first time. When I run "django-admin.py startproject whatever" it creates 
the project ok, but then when I run "python manage.py runserver 8080" from 
the project folder I get the following error...

ImportError: No module named django.core.management

Is it because at the top of my "manage.py" it is pointing to my system wide 
python(#!/usr/bin/env python) instead of my virtualenv one? If so how do I 
fix this? I tried changing the path at the top of the manage.py file but 
didn't seem to do anything.

Re: error message on runserver locally

[Phil Brant]

ah that worked. I have apache on port 80 so I didn't see my django site, so
I just tried a different port and all my django sites work on the new port
now. I always used port 8080 before I wonder why it doesn't work anymore.
Anyway working again, thanks a million devan!

error message on runserver locally

[Phil]

Hi,

I had django setup and working for over a year now working with it on and 
off. I was away for a month, came back and now whenever I run 
"django-admin.py runserver 8080" I get the following error...

ImportError: Settings cannot be imported, because environment variable 
DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE is undefined.

I can import django from command line(version 1.4.3), I ran 
"django-admin.py startproject test" to try a new project. It has 
"os.environ.setdefault("DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE", "test.settings")" declared 
in "manage.py" in the root and in "test/test/wsgi.py" it's also declared so 
how is my DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE undefined?

No, I'm afraid not. I didn't get any replies (nor to a StackOverflow

Re: django.contrib.markup deprecated in 1.5 - what's the alternative?

Thanks for the pointer Jirka - I hadn't managed to find that ticket.
Makes sense and, like you, I only have a few trusted users entering

django.contrib.markup deprecated in 1.5 - what's the alternative?

[Phil Gyford]

I noticed that django.contrib.markup is marked as deprecated in Django
1.5 . If
I'm starting a new project now, what alternative should I be using, to
avoid running into problems with future versions of Django? I could
write my own Markdown (or whatever) filter, but I wondered if there
was going to be a standard replacement built-in?

For bonus points - why are those filters being deprecated?

Re: setting up Django Compressor

[Phil]

Hi Joni,

Yes I have 'compressor.finders.CompressorFinder' added. All the 
requirements are installed too I double checked them all, tried installing 
them all individually and it said they were all installed already. When I 
first setup the site it was using django1.3, but recently upgraded it. 

My static url setting is

STATIC_URL = '/media/'

and media is(for local setup)...

MEDIA_URL = 'http://127.0.0.1:8080/media/'

Not sure what's going on, might just try another compressor at this stage 
as I am not having any joy with this one.

Re: setting up Django Compressor

Hi Joni,

Thanks a million for reply.

Yes I am using django runserver, its a working site just trying to get 
compressor working locally before moving to production. My css works fine 
without the compressor app. I can't see the file if I copy it in my url I 
get a 500 error and the "CACHE" folder doesn't seem to exist anywhere. I 
didn't have anything in my "urls.py" for media, but I added the following

Re: How sitemaps used in the Django

Hi Mugdha,

First add 'django.contrib.sitemaps' to your installed apps.

Then create a file "sitemap.py" in your project root with something like


from django.core.urlresolvers import reverse
from django.contrib.sitemaps import Sitemap
from blog.models import Entry

class ViewSitemap(Sitemap):
"""Reverse static views for XML sitemap."""
def items(self):
# Return list of url names for views to include in sitemap
return ['home']

def location(self, item):
return reverse(item)

class BlogSitemap(Sitemap):
changefreq = "never"
priority = 0.5

def items(self):
return Entry.objects.filter(status=1)

def lastmod(self, obj):
return obj.pub_date


sitemaps = {'views': ViewSitemap,
   'blog_posts': BlogSitemap,
  }
***

in urls.py...
**
from project.sitemap import sitemaps
.
url('^$', home, name='home'),
etc...

setting up Django Compressor

[Phil]

Hi,

Django1.4, Python2.7

I am currently trying to get django compressor to work locally, I installed 
django_compressor via pip install earlier, added it to my installed apps. 
Here is a copy of my base template


{% load i18n %}
{% load compress %}





  



{% compress css %}

{% endcompress %}
.



When I view the source it outputs the following

**

  http://127.0.0.1:8080/media/CACHE/css/fbe3d01c9f33.css>" 
type="text/css" media="all" />


**


So it is creating the cached css file, but it doesn't seem to be able to 
find it(ie page loads with no style applied to it), any ideas what it could 
be that I am missing?

Having LiveServerTestCase use same database as tests

[Phil Gyford]

I'm writing integration tests using LiveServerTestCase/Selenium in
v1.4.1. By default the process that's started by LiveServerTestCase
uses a different database to the test database used by the tests. This
is a pain because I can't use factories (I'm using FactoryBoy at the
moment) to create data to then test in the browser.

Is there a way I can get LiveServerTestCase using the same database as
the tests themselves?

Thanks,
Phil

I figured it out. Thanks. I ran all the source scripts separately and it 
didn't work, but with I entered the source scripts into the terminal all at 
once for some reason it magically worked.

I know what I'm talking about. No need to return with discontent. I've been 
at this for computer business for a while.

html compress advice

[Phil]

Hi,

Just looking for some advice/ wisdom really.

I have compressed my css/js files and am now looking to strip all the white 
space from the html in the templates to help speed things up as much as 
possible. Is putting my hole base.html file between django's "spaceless" 
template tag an ok way of going about this or would that slow things/ make 
much difference down in the long run?

model translationissue

[Phil]

Hi,

I'm trying to translate form names from a model. I have a working contact

Re: django-admin.py makemessages issue

Now I'm getting the following error...

Error: errors happened while running xgettext on __init__.py
/bin/sh: 1: xgettext: not found


It creates the right folders, but no .mo files.

django-admin.py makemessages issue

[Phil]

Hi,

(django version 1.3.1, Python2.7)

(at the end of my settings file)

# translation support
ugettext = lambda s: s

LANGUAGES = (
('en', ugettext('English')),
('es', ugettext('Spanish')),
('de', ugettext('German')),
)

LOCALE_PATHS = (
'/home/phil/project/locale',
)


I am implementing languages into my django website. It's working fine but 
when I run "django-admin.py makemessages" on the command line it gives the 
following error

"Error: This script should be run from the Django SVN tree or your project 
or app tree. If you did indeed run it from the SVN checkout or your project 
or application, maybe you are just missing the conf/locale (in the django 
tree) or locale (for project and application) directory? It is not created 
automatically, you have to create it by hand if you want to enable i18n for 
your project or application."

So like it says, I create the "locale" folder manually then(it's in the 
root of my project directory) run makemessages again but I just get another 
error saying...

"Error: Type 'django-admin.py help makemessages' for usage information."

Any idea's where I could be going wrong?

The permissions were OK, but putting python in front of it seems to have 
worked(I have database connection issue now, but once I fix that I reckon it 
will be work)!

"manage.py" command not found

[Phil]

Hi,

I'm running the latest django 1.4 alpha from the repository.

I have a django project hosted on bitbucket, I run the bitbucket "clone" 
command and pull down my code onto my server. But when I go into my project 
folder and run the command...

"./manage.py runfcgi method=threaded host=127.0.0.1 port=8080"

I get the following error...

"manage.py: command not found"

If I start a project directly on my server running the "startproject" 
command it works fine, it's only when I clone a project onto my server I get 
this.

Is there anything I can do to make my cloned projects work? As I need to be 
able to pull the latest project versions from my repositories.

Thanks.

Re: get django/lighttpd "hello world" page

[Phil]

thanks Javier! I switched it to port 8080 now.

I have a "lighttpd/lighttpd.conf" with the following...

server.document-root = "/var/www"

$HTTP["host"] =~ "(^|\.)mydomain\.com$" {
fastcgi.server = (
"/var/www/mydomain.fcgi" => (
"main" => (
# Use host / port instead of socket for TCP fastcgi
"host" => "my ip address",
"port" => 8080,
#"socket" => "/home/user/mysite.sock",
#"check-local" => "disable",
)
),
)
}


But I also have a "lighttpd/conf-enabled/10-fastcgi.conf" file with
the following

server.modules += ( "mod_fastcgi" )

$HTTP["url"] =~ "^/cgi-bin/" {
cgi.assign = ( ".py" => "/usr/bin/python" )
}

## Warning this represents a security risk, as it allow to execute any
file
## with a .pl/.php/.py even outside of /usr/lib/cgi-bin.
#
cgi.assign  = (
#   ".pl"  => "/usr/bin/perl",
#   ".php" => "/usr/bin/php-cgi",
   ".py"  => "/usr/bin/python",
)


Do I have the correct code in the right place or am I missing
something out?

if I can get a standard HTML to display on port 80 with lighttpd does

get django/lighttpd "hello world" page

[Phil]

Hi,

I have an ubuntu server, django is fully installed and working,
lighttpd is installed and working(works with standard html page), but
I am not sure how to get them talking to each other?

It is my first time putting a django site onto a live server so any
help is appreciated. I'm used to a php "stick everything into webroot"
setup.

I have the following in my lighttpd.conf file as mentioned on django
website

server.document-root = "/var/www"
fastcgi.server = (
"/mysite.fcgi" => (
"main" => (
# Use host / port instead of socket for TCP fastcgi
"host" => "my ip address",
"port" => 80,
#"socket" => "/home/user/mysite.sock",
"check-local" => "disable",
)
),
)


At present all that is doing is loading my html page in my webroot. I
have restarted lighttpd and all. But not sure how it see's django
project?

Thanks.

Thanks for advice everyone.

I had installed python2.7 the normal way using "wget

I am reading up a bit more on it and will give it another go hopefully
with more success.

Thanks again.

Re: error on django-admin.py startproject

[Phil]

Thanks for all the comments everyone, it's a great help.

Yes I have more than one python installed, when I got the server it
had python2.4 and I read the latest django stopped supporting 2.4 so I
installed python2.7 after reading this(also it said not to delete
python2.4 because 'yum' needs it to survive). But I had already
installed django when I just had 2.4. So I reinstalled django after
installing python2.7, but it is still obviously pointing to wrong
python version.

Is it now just a matter of me changing the top line in my 'django-
admin.py' file to point to correct python version, something like?...

#! /path/to/python2.7/env python2.7

If yes, how do I find correct path to python2.7 because I changed it
to where I have python2.7 and it tells me

"bad interpreter: No such file or directory"

Thanks again.

Re: error on django-admin.py startproject

[Phil]

Well I already have subversion installed, that's how I got django in
the first place. When I type "import functools" into the python
interpreter I get no errors back either. I can't make it out.

error on django-admin.py startproject

[Phil]

Hi,

I recently installed the latest development version of Django from
subversion. I followed all steps on site, got no errors. When I type
"import django" in Python interpreter I get no errors.

But when I try run "django-admin.py startproject mysite" I get the
following error...

"ImportError: No module named functools"

Any idea's on what the problem could be?

I am running python2.7 and latest django.

Many thanks.

Django 1.3 class based generic views queryset

[Phil M]

I'm currently having a problem with DetailView based views and
querysets being cached.

If I use a custom manager function for the DetailView queryset, such
as SampleModel.objects.published() below, the first request caches the
queryset and any objects added after are inaccessible - the queryset
gets cached and any new entries result in a 404.

Changing queryset to SampleModel.objects.all() results in no queryset
caching, new objects are immediately visible without having to reload
the webserver.

Is there something I'm missing here?



### models.py:
from django.db import models
import datetime


class SampleModelManager(models.Manager):
def published(self):
return self.get_query_set().filter(published=True,
date__lte=datetime.datetime.now())


class SampleModel(models.Model):
title = models.CharField(max_length=100, db_index=True)
date = models.DateTimeField(default=datetime.datetime.now,
db_index=True)
published = models.BooleanField(default=True, db_index=True)

objects = SampleModelManager()

def __unicode__(self):
return self.title

@models.permalink
def get_absolute_url(self):
return ('sample-model-detail', (), {
'pk': str(self.pk),
})


### urls.py:
from django.conf.urls.defaults import *
import views


urlpatterns = patterns('',
url(r'^(?P\d+)/$',
views.SampleModelDetailView.as_view(),
name='sample-model-detail'),
)


###views.py:
from django.views.generic import DetailView
from models import SampleModel


class SampleModelDetailView(DetailView):
queryset = SampleModel.objects.published()

Thanks for reply Mike and TheRedRabbit, unfortunately I have never got

Re: Setup issue

[Phil]

Hi Shawn,

When it wasn't working I tried both from command line and from
interpreter, from command line just says "command not found". No I
wasn't calling the project that, I've tried a few different project
names and none seem to work.

Thanks for advice/ tips. I'll keep posted when I get to the bottom of
it.

Setup issue

[Phil]

Hi all,

I am having a setup issue on my personal laptop, I got through setup
and couple of tutorials on my Mac in work but not having any joy at
home. I'm running Ubuntu 10.04 Lucid Lynx.

I run "import django" and I don't get any errors back so I thought I
was OK, but when I run "django-admin.py startproject projectname" I
get back an error saying...

"File ", line 1django-admin.py startproject
projectname..Error: invalid syntax"


I'm running on python 2.6.5, I had python3 installed and got rid of it
encase it was conflicting, basically my question is were do I need to
start looking, I must be missing something but I'm not sure were to
start. Any advice I could get would be magic as it's my new year
resolution to be efficient django man by end of year, not off to a
great start :(

Re: Unit test failing when testing post of a comment

[Phil Gyford]

Answering myself, in case this is useful to anyone in the future...

I eventually discovered the problem lay in the method which checked
submitted comments for spam (a method along these lines:
http://sciyoshi.com/blog/2008/aug/27/using-akismet-djangos-new-comments-framework/
). It expected the request object to have META['HTTP_REFERER'] and
META['HTTP_USER_AGENT']. When the comment was submitted from a unit
test, these weren't present and this was causing things to fall over.

I've no idea why that generated what looked like a template error, but
checking for the presence of these, and using empty strings if they're
not present, has got things working again.

Unit test failing when testing post of a comment

[Phil Gyford]

Hi,

I have a unit test that tests that a comment can be posted on an entry
in a Django blog. Posting a comment myself in the browser works fine,
but the test always fails with this error:

"TemplateSyntaxError: Caught VariableDoesNotExist while rendering:
Failed lookup for key [request] in u'[{}]'"

Which suggests the use of the 'request' variable in a template isn't
working. I guess it's a ContextProcessor problem, but I'm stuck as to
why it fails in the test. Here's the test:


from django.test.client import Client
from django.test import TestCase
import datetime, time
from weblog.models import Entry
from django.contrib.comments.forms import CommentSecurityForm

class WeblogBaseTestCase(TestCase):
fixtures = ['../../aggregator/fixtures/test_data.json', ]

class CommentTestCase(WeblogBaseTestCase):

def post_comment(self, entry_id=1):
form = CommentSecurityForm( Entry.live.get(pk=entry_id) )
timestamp = int(time.time())
security_hash = form.initial_security_hash(timestamp)
c = Client()
response = c.post('/cmnt/post/', {
'name': 'Bobby',
'email': 'bo...@example.com',
'url': '',
'comment': 'Hello',
'content_type': 'weblog.entry',
'timestamp': timestamp,
'object_pk': entry_id,
'security_hash': security_hash,
},follow=True)

self.failUnlessEqual(response.status_code, 200)


I'm stumped as to why this error is generated in the test, but not on
the site, and I'm not sure how to poke around to see where it's going
wrong. Any thoughts?

Thanks.

It doesn't (yet) cover the best ways of integrating dev/production

Re: trouble creating first project

[Phil]

Thanks for reply Steve.

Yes I seen the section about symbolic linking on the django website.
It says on the website to type this command

"ln -s WORKING-DIR/django-trunk/django/bin/django-admin.py /usr/local/
bin"

which I did(replacing WORKING_DIR obviously with the right path), but
I'm not sure what "/usr/local/bin" is supposed to point to or what
path should this be exactly?

trouble creating first project

[Phil]

Hi,

I am having trouble creating my first project. I am running the latest
version of Ubuntu and I installed Django from svn, when I run 'import
django' i get no errors back so I assume its installed OK.

When I run 'django-admin.py startproject myproject' I get back an
error saying 'django-admin.py: command not found'.

How can I solve/get around this error? Appreciate any help/ advice
offered

Thanks Klaas. That second one does seem related to my problem although
after a couple of days struggling with this issue I'm now at the

I found what seems like a related ticket that's been opened and closed
a couple of times and tentatively re-opened it with an explanation:

I'm going to have to move on though and try and work around the

Re: Customising comment framework and keeping moderation working

[Phil Gyford]

I've made as minimal a complete demonstration of this as possible, to
try and work out where I'm going wrong:
http://github.com/philgyford/django-commentstest/

It works fine: comments can successfully be disabled on a per-Entry
basis. But, if you add "from weblog.models import Entry" to either
customcomments/forms.py or customcomments/models.py then comments are
*always* allowed through. Any idea why? Thanks.

Re: Customising comment framework and keeping moderation working

[Phil Gyford]

I've investigated further and... it's very strange.

I've got a version of my custom comments framework, with
enable_comments moderation, working fine. Here are the contents of my
working customcomments/forms.py and customcomments/models.py:
http://dpaste.com/253382/

However, if I add "from weblog.models import Blog" to either of those
files, my custom moderation has no effect.

This is a problem, because what I really want to do is not add a
'title' field to each custom comment, but add a ForeignKey field that
links to the Blog object (comments are posted on Entries, each of
which is associated with a Blog). So I will need to import the Blog
class.

In case it helps, here's the contents of weblog/models.py that
contains the Blog class: http://dpaste.com/253384/

This modification really isn't worth the two days I've now spent
puzzling over it, but it's got personal, and I just want to understand
the solution now! Any help very much appreciated.

Customising comment framework and keeping moderation working

[Phil Gyford]

Hi,

I can't get my extended version of django.contrib.comments to take
notice of moderation.

If I use the standard comments framework, then my subclass of
CommentModerator does the job - I've just used it to define
enable_field, and this allows or prohibits comments as expected.

But if I switch to using my custom version of the comments framework
(which adds an extra field) it seems like the moderator is ignored -
all comments are allowed through, no matter whether the enable_field
on the commented-on object is true or false.

I can't see what I'm missing. Here's the code for my moderator, in
case it helps: http://dpaste.com/253308/ It works fine like that, with
the standard framework, but if I switch the import lines over, add my
custom comments app to INSTALLED_APPS and COMMENTS_APP settings, the
enable_field has no effect.

What's the magical missing step? Thanks.

Phil

Re: Error configuring Django to run customized comments framework

[Phil Gyford]

A bit late, so you may have solved this or given up on it, but
still... I just had the same error message and eventually solved it by
changing the order of my INSTALLED_APPS. So maybe you have slightly
different settings on your local and live servers, and the apps are
ordered differently on each?

For example if I did this:

INSTALLED_APPS = (
'django.contrib.auth',
'django.contrib.contenttypes',
'django.contrib.sessions',
'django.contrib.sites',
'django.contrib.messages',
'django.contrib.comments',
'django.contrib.admin',
'django.contrib.markup',
'django.contrib.flatpages',
'taggit',
'myproject.weblog',
'myproject.aggregator',
'myproject.comments', # My custom comment app
)

then I got the error. But if I did this:

INSTALLED_APPS = (
'django.contrib.auth',
'django.contrib.contenttypes',
'django.contrib.sessions',
'django.contrib.sites',
'django.contrib.messages',
'django.contrib.comments',
'django.contrib.admin',
'django.contrib.markup',
'django.contrib.flatpages',
'taggit',
'myproject.comments', # My custom comment app
'myproject.weblog',
'myproject.aggregator',
)

(ie, move 'myproject.comments', my custom comments app, further up)
then it worked fine. It just seems to need to be above
'myproject.weblog', so maybe it's some dependency in my code I don't
fully understand. Anyway, hope that helps.

Thanks John and everyone else who replied - the regex above did the
trick for me. I've now got the whole site running from just a single
view called servePage, and I don;t have to update my URL list each time
I add a new page to the database, which was exactly what I wanted.

Thanks again folks!

Meh. Don't know what happened to the indentation there, but it should 
look like this:

Multiple URLs, Common View

[Phil Edwards]

Hi All:

I've written myself an ultra-simple CMS as a Django learning exercise. 
It consists of a couple of simple models and a single template to serve 
up articles which have previously been posted into the database from the 
admin interface.


Everything seems to work okay, but I think my implementation could be 
better. I have a single view function which at present looks like this:


-begin-
def servePage(request):
if request.path[1:] == '':
thisPage = Page.objects.get(name = unicode('home'))
else:
thisPage = Page.objects.get(name = unicode(request.path[1:]))
sidebar_list = Page.objects.filter(category = thisPage.category)
article_list = Article.objects.filter(page = 
thisPage.id).order_by('-amendedon')

return render_to_response('base.html', locals())
--end--

Firstly, I suspect that my use of request.path[:1] to get the URL being 
accessed is not the accepted Django way. Is there a better method?


Secondly, even with the generic view that I'm using, I still need to 
have multiple entries in my urls.py file in order to make pages work, i.e:


urlpatterns = patterns('',
(r'^admin/(.*)', admin.site.root),
('^$', servePage),
(r'^home$', servePage),
(r'^about$', servePage),
(r'^family$', servePage),
(r'^aviation$', servePage),
(r'^linux$', servePage),
(r'^windows$', servePage),
(r'^coding$', servePage),
(r'^photo$', servePage),
(r'^gallery$', servePage),
(r'^ppl-diary$', servePage),
)

Is there a way to replace this with a catch all pattern which does not 
break other things? I've tried patterns such as r'^' and this simply 
leads to my static content being skipped, so I see the pages, but with 
no stylesheet applied and all images missing.


I'm seeing a tantalizing clue from the 404 page that gets generated when 
I have DEBUG = True in my settings file. When Django tells me what URL 
patterns it tried, the very last one is "^static/(?P.*)$" - I 
suspect that if I knew how to incorporate that into my urls.py ahead of 
my 'catchall' pattern, I'd be good to go...


I've Googled for terms like 'django generic view' and 'django multiple 
url single view' but I can't find anything useful. I think that at this 
level, my setup probably doesn;t matter, but if it does I'm using Django 
1.2 on both Windows XP and Linux, with Python 2.7 and 2.6 respectively, 
depending upon which machine I have my USB stick plugged into at the time.
