Re: Filter based on result of model method

[Wiiboy]

> articles = [article for article in
> Article.objects.all().select_related('permission') if

The only problem I see is that is that 'articles' is a list, not a
queryset.  The reason I was using q.exclude(pk=item.pk) is because the
return value is still a queryset.  But that's going to result in a
huge number of DB hitscurses.

Yes =)  I wrote that quickly with my post.

Good idea.

That'd be really hard to maintain,  I think.  I'd have to evaluate
whether the current user could view _every_ article every time they
changed their profile, registered, etc.

Filter based on result of model method

[Wiiboy]

Is there a way to filter based on the result of a model instance
method?

I've got a Permission model with a one-to-one relationship with an
Article.  The Permission model stores the different groups that the
Article author said could read their article.  There's about 6 groups
though, so I wrote an instance method that calculates whether a given
user can view an Article.

I want to filter based on whether that instance method returns true or
not. I could do something like the following, but it seems very
inefficient.

def myview(request):
   q = Article.objects.all()
   for item in q:
   if not item.permission.can_view_article(request.user):
   q = q.exclude(item.pk)

Controlling access to objects

[Wiiboy]

Hi guys,
I don't know whether the built-in permissions system would be
appropriate here, but I want to control access to objects in one of my
models, based on profile fields, like gender, age, etc.

I planned to create a model "MyModelPermissions" like so:
class MyModelPermissions(models.Model):
mymodel = models.OneToOneField(MyModel)
gender = models.CharField(choices=[('male', 'Male'),('female',
'Female'), ('both', 'Both')])


But that doesn't seem very efficient. Any ideas on how best to do this?

Thread safety with Form Wizard

[Wiiboy]

Hi guys,
I'm a relative newbie at using Django in an actual production
setting.  I'm having trouble using the form wizard at the moment, and
I noticed that there is one instance of the Wizard class, instantiated
in urls.py.  Is there anything I should worry about as far as thread
safety is concerned (i.e. should I not store any context-specific data
in "self")?

Re: Giving up PHP. ...Can't decide between Django & Rails

[Wiiboy]

I'm a bit of a noob as well, and know nothing about Rails, but I'd
like to comment on a few issues you mentioned.

1.  Non-existent template variables are replaced with the value of the
TEMPLATE_STRING_IF_INVALID setting.  Set that to something besides its
default (an empty string) to make non-existent variables easier to
find.

2. Regarding documentation, the docs at http://docs.djangoproject.com
are, in my opinion, simply amazing.  By far the best documentation for
a free project that I've seen (but then again, I haven't seen much).
And that's just a matter of opinion I guess =)

3.I have yet to encounter any problem with the dev server, although I
remember issues like that from App Engine.  Irritating as hell.

4. I find the error handling in Django (basically just Python error
handling) works quite well.  I sometimes get rather ambiguous errors,
but their solutions become easier to find as you encounter them.  One
error I always hated with PHP was when you forgot to put a semicolon
on the end of a line.  PHP said the first thing on the _next_ line was
unexpected.  It seems ambiguous at first, but after you see it a few
times, you know exactly what it means.  Same with Python/Django.

That's all I have to say.  Hope I helped. =)

Re: Why must {% extends '' %} be first value in template? Inconvenient for ajax versions.

[Wiiboy]

Something I tried once: set the 'extends' template variable in your
views (middleware even, maybe) to either an empty string or the path
to your template, based on the result of request.is_ajax.

I'm not sure though whether Django will throw an error if extends has
an empty string.

Suggestion:
def my_view(request):
context = {}
context['extends'] = 'base.html' if request.is_ajax() else ''
.
return render_to_response('mytemplate.html', context)

template:
{% extends extends %}

Not sure if that will work, just a guess.

I'm using a combination of the UserCreationForm and my own ModelForm
of my Profile model to create a registration form.  I want to get

Re: anybody tried web2py and gone back to Django?

[Wiiboy]

I've noticed that there have been a lot of things in common:
Web2py _didn't_ have very good docs, at least relative to Django's
(which are spectacular), but now that the Web2py book is available
online, that issue is kind of moot.

Admin -- Web2py has two different Admins, one which doesn't have a
Django equivalent (lets you manage apps, etc. from it, pretty handy)
and a not-as-good-as-Django's-Admin appadmin.  Although it certainly
could do the job for my tiny site =)

And the explicit vs. implicit imports: Personally, I love the fact
that the request object is available all over the place, including
models, and that I don't have to do any importing.

My final complaint about Web2py is its templating engine: if I want my
Dad to do the HTML on my website, I'd rather not make him learn
"Python", per se, rather, I'd like him to learn a slightly different
but less strict of a syntax templating engine.

Ok, I'm done.  Feel free to comment on anything above (including you
Massimo =)

Re: anybody tried web2py and gone back to Django?

First of all, I'd like to say that I think Web2py, and its maintainer
Massimo, are awesome. =)

I tried Web2py for a little while a couple months ago, but the biggest
issue was poor documentation -- at the time, there was almost
nothing.  Now there's a whole book, online, but...

Also, it was missing a few basic features Django had (session-by-
session expiration for auto-logout, etc.), although I'm sure if I'd
mentioned them to Massimo, he probably would've implemented them
pretty quick.

Re: Underscores vs. Numbers

[Wiiboy]

Well, to solve this, I'm planning to subclass the "get_available_name"
method in django.core.files.storage.Storage to do exactly what it does
now, except add a number instead of underscores.

Any reason not to do this?

Underscores vs. Numbers

[Wiiboy]

I noticed when I upload multiple files to my website with the same
name, Django adds underscores to the file names.  But doesn't that
seems like it's less efficient than adding numbers to the end, (i.e.
myfile (1).txt)?  And on some OSs, a file name can be too long, which
could cause problems.

Anyone know why they chose to use underscores?

Make three columns without violating DRY

Hi,
On the homepage of my website, I have three columns of articles from
users. I can't quite figure out how to make those three columns
without violating DRY.  Now, I have a dictionary of lists, with each
list being the list of articles for one column.  I then loop through
the lists.  Example:


  {% for article in articles.left %}
{{article}}
  {% endfor %}



  {% for article in articles.right %}
{{article}}
  {% endfor %}



  {% for article in articles.center %}
{{article}}
  {% endfor %}

Using Signals as hooks

[Wiiboy]

I'm a bit of a noob at Web Devlopment (as you already know if you've
read any of my posts on here).

I've read that using hooks in key places in a website can help ease
future development.  Can/Should Django's signals be used for that
purpose?

If so, to what extent should they be used?  For example, on my site
where users submit articles for a newsletter, one place to put a hook
would be after an article is submitted.  Would sending emails to
admins about the new submission, as well as emails to the users who
subscribe to be notified of new submissions be put in a separate
function, as part of the hook, or part of the page?

Do something on model save only if a certain change was made

[Wiiboy]

I've got a site where users make articles for the newsletter.  The
content of their articles is a flatpage.
My article model is below.  My goal is to make it so that when the
model is saved, and the status is changed from pending to accepted, it
creates a flapage that is an html version of the original file (the
html version will be uploaded by me before saving).  I thought of over-
riding the save method, but that doesn't get arguments of what data is
being changed.

class Article(models.Model):
categories = [('sports', 'Sports',), ('other', 'Other'),
('school', 'School')]
user = models.ForeignKey(User)
file = models.FileField(upload_to="articles/%Y/%m/%d")
friendly_name = models.SlugField(max_length=100)
original_name = models.CharField(max_length=100)
date = models.DateTimeField(auto_now_add=True)
summary = models.CharField(max_length=500)
title = models.CharField(max_length=200)
category = models.CharField(max_length=6, choices=categories)
status = models.CharField(max_length=11, choices=STATUS_CHOICES,
blank=True, default='pending')
reason = models.TextField(blank=True, null=True)

When I register users, I have it done automatically (user fills out a

just in the Admin interface.

Flatpages variables

Hi,
I've got a site where users must be logged in to view any pages.
Logged in users may write articles for the newsletter, and upload
them.  I then convert the article to HTML (manually), and make it
available for other users.  I'd like make them available on flatpages,
but I have to be able to check whether the user is logged in.

Can I do that?

Django Admin Question

[Wiiboy]

Hi,
I've got a database of newsletter submissions from my users.  Before
using Django, I designed an Admin interface that listed the past 10 or
so submissions that were still pending review by me, and asked for the
ID of the one or ones that I wanted to accept or not accept.
Is there a way to make Django Admin do something similar?  Unless
someone has a better idea on how I could accomplish it.

But Django doesn't offer it bult-in?

Sorry, I was a bit vague.  I mean, how does one do something like the
Admin interface does on my site?

Use a feature similar to the Admin sorting by date on my site?

[Wiiboy]

Hi guys,
I'm new to Django (haven't even done more than the tutorial,
actually).  I'm having people submit articles for my site newsletter.
I want to sort the archives of these by both name and date, almost
EXACTLY like the Admin interface does it (filter by date, sort by
date, by name, etc.)
How would one do this?

It's all relatively simple stuff, I guess...
Thanks.

I'd have to rewrite everything. :(

Should I use Django?

[Wiiboy]

Hi guys,
I'm making a small site (small for now, at least), that isn't quite
finished yet.  I'm the only one who is writing server-side code.
Presently, I'm writing straight Python code, through CGI, on a shared
hosting provider.  Is there any reason why I should use Django on my
site, on the Google App Engine?

Re: Why do some shared hosting providers support Django and others don't?

[Wiiboy]

Correction: I paid in advance for my current hosting provider, two
years, and its only been 6 months.  I can't be possibly be worth 18
months of wasted hosting.

Thanks anyway, though.  So long as my site still exists and I'm still
using Python, I'll be reading this again in a year and a half.

So, is getting mod_python and Django worth ditching my current
provider, and a dollar more a month?

Do you guys know anything about MochaHost?

Sounds way to good to be true. . .Which probably isn't good.

How would using Django be any different than having a very large
Python script?

Why do some shared hosting providers support Django and others don't?

[Wiiboy]

I'm with a shared hosting company called Lunarpages.  They tell me
Django, by itself, even with Fast CGI, because it is a framework, is
too resource intensive for them to allow.  But many other shared
hosting providers allow Django.  So, how do those who do allow it
allow users to use it without bogging down the servers?
