Re: Problem with AD (LDAP) authentication

[TechnicalBard]

Have discovered what works - but it goes against the docs...

I needed to set User.is_active = True.  The permissions for admin
(has_perm) appears to check this flag and returns False for inactive
users.

Problem solved.

Problem with AD (LDAP) authentication

[Technicalbard]

I'm trying to write an Active Directory / LDAP authenication, and I'm
having problems.  The code is at: http://dpaste.com/hold/64752/

When I set this authentication and then try to go to http://localhost:8000/admin
and login to the development server, it authenticates against the LDAP
server (the print statements indicate as such in the django console),
and it does create a new django user in the database.  But it doesn't
redirect me to the admin interface.  It brings back the login screen
with the error message:

Please enter a correct username and password. Note that both fields
are case-sensitive.

Except I know that I did because the database was updated.  What am I
doing wrong?

Re: Efficiency of getting attribute values in templates

[TechnicalBard]

But the admin app does - it defines the labels from the attribute
names and just puts them all in a table or list.

How does one do that?  Analogous to iterating through a list of
objects, is it possible to iterate through the attributes of a single
object?

Is there a way to pass an object to the template and have the template
handle all of the attributes without hardcoding them into the
template?

To clarify, the djangobook states:

replaces underscores with spaces and capitalizes the first character,

Where in the django.contrib.admin code is this logic found?  I would
like to utilize it.

How does admin generate HTML for adding objects?

[Technicalbard]

I'm curious how the admin creates the templates for any object in the
database...

I'm using the object_detail generic view, but would prefer having
Django use the parameters of the object to generate the template,
rather than me having to hardcode the parameter names into the
template.

The admin does this when you create new objects - how?  The docs don't
seem to lead me to this.

Problem with generic views

[Technicalbard]

Hey all,

I did the tutorial, yet when I try to apply what I've learned (or
think I've learned), to my own application it doesn't work...

My code looks like this:

# taskmgr/models.py
class Task(models.Model):
name = models.CharField(max_length=216)
summary = models.CharField(max_length=3072, blank=True)
origin = models.CharField(max_length=96, blank=False)
# more stuff

# taskmgr/urls.py
from django.conf.urls.defaults import *
from django.views.generic import list_detail
from mysite.taskmgr.models import Task

urlpatterns = patterns('taskmgr.views',
url(r'^$', list_detail.object_list, { "queryset" :
Task.objects.all() }, name="task_list"),
# more urls

# task_list.html
  
  This is the task list
{% for object in Task.object.all %}
{{ object.id }} -- {{ object.name }} is due:
{{ object.date_comp_req }}
{% endfor %}

  

I know it is picking up the template, because it displays the text in
the  line  But it displays nothing else.

If I do this in the shell:

>>>p = Task.objects.get(pk=1)
[, ]

>>>p.name
u'Build Task Manager'

So I know that Task.objects gets me something...   What do I need to
change to pass this to the template properly...

Where to put form definitions?

[Technicalbard]

My reading of the documentation isn't clear on where form definitions
could or should be defined.  Is it better to define forms inside an
apps views.py file, or should I put the form definitions into a
separate forms.py file and import it into the views as necessary?  The
latter seems more reusable.  Does anyone have reasons to do otherwise?

Problem with startproject

[Technicalbard]

OK - newb here (in more ways than one).  I'm trying to get going on an
Ubuntu VM (inside VirtualBox) and I installed Django via synaptic.

The problem comes when I try to start the tutorial:

mor...@morgan-laptop:~/www$ django-admin startproject mysite
Error: [Errno 13] Permission denied: '/home/morgan/www/mysite'

I made sure that I have ownership of the /www folder (as opposed to
root having ownership), but that didn't make a difference.

Help!

New Project - want advice

[Technicalbard]

Hi,

I'm planning a new project, and I want the following feature set
(eventually).  It will of course be rolled out in parts as apps are
completed.  The purpose of this is to manage knowledge in various
domains.

 - wiki-type knowledge-base with full audit trail
 - threaded forum
 - embedding pdf / svg / png images in wiki/forum
 - attaching and safely storing native format files associate with
wiki/forum items.
 - task manager to identify and assign issues that need resolving in
the knowledgebase.
 - need to have ACL-type user access, editing and moderating levels
and granular permissions on wiki articles / forum messages that are
assignable by a moderator from a web-interface.
 - email alerts to users
 - ideally, login authentication will use existing Active Directory.

So my request for advice is:
What django-apps are available that could use to provide some of this
functionality, or at least use as a starting point to develop the
functionality?  Can anyone point me to demos/examples of similar
functionality?

Re: Building local Django docs as HTML on Win32?

[Technicalbard]

OK - figured this out by myself.

- Need the Gnuwin32 version of make
- then need to install sphinx and all it's dependencies.  Simple with
easy_install
- then edit Makefile to adjust it to handle win32 commands, primarily
the use of backslashes:

On Unix/Linux:
 mkdir -p _build/html _build/doctrees

On win32:
 mkdir _build\html _build\doctrees

and change this line:
 $(SPHINXBUILD) -b html $(ALLSPHINXOPTS) _build\html
to use backslash instead of forward slash in the path at the end.

And then it works like it should.
