MEDIA on remote server only accessible over FTP and HTTP
Hi all, One of my clients has asked me to implement a Django site where they host the application side on their own Internet connection (low latency 2Mbit fibre pipe) while hosting the static content on their ISP's provided web space. Which is high speed (I tested it as likely having multiple 100Mbit connections OR a Gigabit pipe). Reason for this is 2 fold, 1 being that the total bandwidth allotment for their local pipe is limited to around 600GB/mo, 2 being that as I stated above, the web space is very high bandwidth and has a virtual unlimited allotment in bandwidth for them. The problems I'm facing: A). The web space is only accessible trough FTP and HTTP, FTP being the only factor when talking uploads. B). They want the site to be transparent with the remote web space, so that if they upload files trough the website like in any normal fully local Django site, the content is immediately accessible. One possible solution is the following: http://www.djangosnippets.org/snippets/1269/ Which is a pluggable storage plug that transfers files over FTP on forms upload. But the author of the app states that this solution isn't viable for larger files since the uploaded files are stored in memory during transfer to FTP. The client of course needs large files to work. They have gigantic images that need to be uploaded and shared (think gigantic in terms of 16k x 9k TIFF's ...). If uploads happen one by one, do you think a 2GB ram server that has 1GB unused would be able to handle it in a stable fassion if the files stay under 1GB in size? Do you know any other way to do this other then to use the above snippet or setup a high refresh FTP sync schedule that would resync the files between local and FTP every 5 to 10 minutes? Also, isn't with an FTP sync the danger present that large files being uploaded get whacked by the server trying to upload it to the webspace at the same time? r/Jan --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.

Django Sites -> Users
I don't find the functionality in the admin interface, so I'm guessing its not implemented in the trunk. I thought that maybe it would be a handy thing to extend the sites framework into the users and groups framework. For my firm, we have several branches which run mostly the same website (all run the exact same apps) but with their own graphics and unique flatpages and with the articles and inventory, certain sites show certain articles and certain sites sell certain inventory. This all was very easy to implement with the sites framework. It took a while to filter out but we have a 250k unique item inventory assigned to one or more branches. The main office sells just about anything, while 2 of the smaller branches are specialized in and only sell industrial electronics and industrial installation materials. Industrial clients also have different pricing when they buy their gear from the branch specialized in those materials then when they order it trough us. The medium sized branches mostly wholesale home electronics and housebuilding electronics and installation materials. Now to what I wanted to request. What I now really need is to give people permissions and access to functions on one, several or all of the sites or at least limit their login to one, several or all of the sites. If the sites framework extended into the users and groups framework, this would be as simple as assigning a flatpage to a specific site. You simply would mark one or more sites for a given user. Since we are a wholesaler, our clients need to request a login that has buying rights, our branches are located all trough the country and clients are assigned to their nearest branch, while the general public can simply register for a limited account that has access to downloads and store prices which are mostly equal on all sites. So, am I missing something here, did I implement Django wrong by using one single database for all my instances or is this a rather usefull feature for the sites framework which isn't implemented (yet?) r/Jan --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.

Re: Django suddenly loses DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE running locally
This is why, eventhough its noted in the docs as optional, I add the pythonpath to my site in the apache vhosts file by default. Adding the path globally isn't really a good thing to do but adding it whenever your webserver starts the site its needed for, even if its already defined somewhere else, is imho a good practice.

Re: 404 Page not found handling
Forest: Those were the same arguments I made for using them, added that that it might also be handy to incorperate the following conditions into the 404: 1: There is nothing related to their typo, so we return the normal looking 404. 2: There is 1 page that relates to their typo, so we automaticly redirect the user from the 404 page (not without returning the 404 first so that the status is kept), to the related page and puts a visible warning at the top of that page telling them they were redirected there because the url they used was bad and this page is related to what they seemed to be looking for. 3: There are multiple pages that are related to their typo, so we return the normal looking 404 with links to the related pages added in the body. 4: If they are registered users or have an active session, give them the option to use either the result of condition 3 or we redirect to the best match and put a warning at the top to the search page that shows the other pages that are related to their typo. Would the redirects be to much or would that still be acceptable? The ones against dynamic 404's have their opinions fueled by personal experiences visiting sites that get overly zealous using the abundance of space on 404 pages to put loads of ads and such. Imho, if you want to give your users the best experience on a website, you have to try and make the information you provide as easily findable as possible and even try to help users find information they are looking for if they don't use the normal search facilities you provide, as long as you don't screw with web standards (not returning the correct codes so that search engines go wild on your site), don't try to provide to much help, because that could make things cluttered and turn the attempt to be helpful into an annoyance and definably don't do funky stuff like placing banners, ads and redirects to external sites on your 404 pages.

404 Page not found handling
We're having a bit of a discussion here about an idea I came up with. The Django site we're developing is the first friendly URL site we're building (with php we never bothered, mostly because we mainly do intranet sites and SEF urls havent ever been a requirement and in PHP with mod rewrite, SEF urls are a nightmare) and after watching the presentation video's about Django before we started contemplating switching to it and hearing the developers say that they set their sites to send emails to the devs whenever a 404 PNF was invoked, so that they could create content to fit that request. Is it, in your opinions, "nice", "appropriate" and "correct", in other words, ethical, for an internet site to setup 404 pages so that when for instance: http://www.domain.com/banana/ that doesn't exist, gets called, the user gets a 404 page inline with the sites main layout + a bunch of suggestions for pages that might fit what the user was looking for, like there are pages relevant to banana at http://www.domain.com/recipies/milkshakes/banana http://www.domain.com/gallery/dancingbanana http://www.domain.com/music/RotterdamTerrorCorps/bananenlied Kinda like automated search results appended to the 404's. This might sound like a silly and noobish question, but hey, I'm a systems admin that comes up with idea's for the devs to work out, I'm not a programmer or developer. --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.

Re: cmemcached etc
No, its not reasonable to assume people know everything about python from day 1. I only just started using Python and primarily started using it because of Django. I had no problem installing Python, hooking it into Apache, configuring Django, etc etc, sys administration is my main field of expertise. But I'm not a programmer(eventhough I know my way around PHP better then most devs I know), am brand new to python and brand new to djagno. Where is the problem in putting: -- To install type: python setup.py install -- in the INSTALL file anyway? Why have an INSTALL file in every archive you release if you can't even be bothered to type that tiny line in it? You don't even have to write it with every release you make, just the very first time. Anyway, thanks for the information on the tutorial and the info about how to install these modules.

cmemcached etc
Ok, I've used memcached for quite some time with PHP sites and that was rather easy. Now I see you can use it with Django, but to get memcached support you need to either install cmemcached or python-memcached. Neither of these apps has any kind of information on their sites or in the archives on how you can install those modules so you can enable memcached in the django config.

Re: Django database API - What is it good for?
Also, if I'm not mistaken, when you use the database api, the input validation steps are taken care of by the framework, you don't just tell in the models what format fields should be in the database, but at the same time are telling the framework what input it should accept for that field. If a field is EmailField, it'll only accept an actual [EMAIL PROTECTED] type input. It'll also escape everything correctly for you. Why is this important you ask? Using the database api almost completely removes all the SQL injection whoes developers have so they can focus on the important stuff. The philosophy behind django is to automate the repetitive and boring stuff from developing highend websites. I for one am very happy with this because I spent most of my PHP development time fixing SQL injection bugs in peoples apps (writing loads and loads of validation code) and creating admin interfaces for websites that up to that point used nothing but phpMyAdmin to do the administration of their sites. If your going to use pure SQL instead, you don't just have to write all those query's (in the long run, when using the API you'll end up writing much less code), but will also have to write routines to clean up the input into your app, while they are already part of the framework On Aug 13, 11:20 pm, "James Bennett" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > On 8/13/07, Amirouche <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > > What do you mean, I can't understand. > > OK, suppose you are running an online store, so you have a database > table "orders", which lists orders customers have placed, and another > "addresses" which lists the addresses to ship the orders to.

Re: application/xhtml+xml MIME won't take
For the site in question yes. It'll be an intranet site where only a tested version of Firefox is allowed for web browsing and they demanded the latest stable versions of all standards to be used. And for other sites where xhtml 1.1 is wanted, I'm planning to use a middleware that'll dynamically change the header depending on the browser. And for why we won't use that on this site is that its another trap for users to see if they didn't tamper with the computers they worked on and installed an app that isn't allowed by company policy. Most of the previous work I did for this company is design ADS policy's and scripts to make sure people don't change anything on these workstations, if they call up to say their "browser" gives a download prompt instead of giving the intranet site, the helpdesk techies only need to go over there and slap them over the head instead of wondering why some users are complaining that some parts of the site doesn't work. The idea there is that once they log off a computer, it needs to be as if no one ever worked on it since its completely Gigabit connected in there, installing apps at login is about as transparent as loading a roaming profile. All their personal stuff is loaded at login, including apps they specifically might need, apps that can run of the network (office for example) are mounted at login. For me personally the idea has always been to stay on the stable edge of the standards. I've always done this with php in the past and I'll do the same in the future with Django.

application/xhtml+xml MIME won't take
I'm developing a site that needs to be xhtml 1.1, my page validates just fine except that the server keeps spitting it out as text/html instead of application/xhtml+xml. How the heck do I make django set application/xhtml+xml for the pages it serves? I tried changing the text/html entry in my mime.types file for apache to application/xhtml+xml but that does squat. --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.

Re: django built-in web server
You could use something like XAMPP if your really unconfortable setting up apache and mysql by hand. Xampp's base install gives you apache and mysql preconfigured and there is a python addon thats also preconfigured. And if you can install and develop python/django apps, don't be to afraid of installing Apache, its not that hard.

Page generation times
In PHP its handy and easy to setup a function to use during development where you can see page generation times, your linux load averages, a count for database calls in a page and compare between how much time spent between generating the PHP output and waiting for the database. Is there something like this available in the Django framework? If not is there an easy way to do this with Python? Any info and pointers is much appreciated. I'm constructing a site that is really heavy on data (it won't grow to GB's of data, it'll actually start with around 8GB, not counting images and files ...) and knowing all details on how python and django react to loading alot of data and types of data to a page will be really helpful --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.

Re: Admin shows "BlaBla object" for every item in lists instead of the actual names of the objects.
Thanks for the quick reply and it works perfectly.
Would be good if this was added to the docs on the site, I saw this
was the way it was done in some old screencasts where they were still
calling models out of django.core and after reading the official docs
and seeing that the simplest way to call admin was class Admin: pass,
I thought the __str__ and __unicode__ method wasn't needed anymore.
Also, please don't confuse a printer with a movie. I've carried this
name for over 15 years now, on BBS and the web and as you might
imagine, the comments I've gotten since that movie came out have
gotten rather tiresome over the years.
:p

Admin shows "BlaBla object" for every item in lists instead of the actual names of the objects.
I have many tables with universal data I use across projects, alot of
them are tables with 1 column.
One example of this is a table named "Continents" with the names of
all continents and subcontinents including the less known ones (like
the Kerguelen continent)
When I setup the admin to display the contents of these single column
tables, it gives me a list of:
Continents Object
Continents Object
Continents Object
Continents Object
instead of
Asia
Europe
North America
South America
Am I doing something wrong or is this some sort of bug?
The way I call admin for these table models is simply:
class Admin:
pass
I tried setting list_display to see if that helps, but it won't let me
do that when there is only 1 column in the table because list_display
needs a format of list_display = ('name1', 'name2', ...).
