A question about templates and search.

[djandrow]

Hello,

Each of the html pages on my site extends base.html but i'm trying to
get a search box going which will appear on each page. So this will go
on the base.html template. Since base.html is never called except
through other templates. In what view should the code for this go in,
i can't imangine it would have to go in every view would it?

Thanks

Andrew

I may just try creating a new app and see if that works and if it does

My app is missing!

[djandrow]

Hello all,

I've been trying to add a few extra fields to my model, as part of my
blog app. So then I tried sqlall:

python "C:\ProgLangs\Python25\Lib\site-packages\django\conf
\project_template\manage.py" sqlall blog

theres another thread about why i've included the path, but i don't
see why it should make a difference.  Anyway, when i run that i get
this error message.

Error: App with label blog could not be found. Are you sure your
INSTALLED_APPS
setting is correct?

my installed apps looks like this ;

INSTALLED_APPS = (
'django.contrib.auth',
'django.contrib.contenttypes',
'django.contrib.sessions',
'django.contrib.sites',
'django.contrib.admin',
'akonline.blog',
)

it exists in akonline/blog and i created it in the proper way so can
someone explain why i get an error? Or are there some things i can try
to see whats going on?

Thanks,

Andrew

Re: Python Versions and manage.py

[djandrow]

I've had some success by specifying the path manually

python "C:\ProgLangs\Python25\Lib\site-packages\django\conf
\project_template\manage.py" sqlall

I'm still getting an error but i'm 90% sure its unrelated.

Python Versions and manage.py

[djandrow]

Hello,

I have python 2.5 and 2.6 installed on my computer and when i try to
run manage.py sqlall I get an error:

raise ImproperlyConfigured("Error loading MySQLdb module: %s" % e)
django.core.exceptions.ImproperlyConfigured: Error loading MySQLdb
module: Module use of python25.dll conflicts with this version of
Python.

This is because it is using python 2.6 and the mysql backend is for
2.5, there isn't an exe backend for windows.

I'm using the command line and want to know how i can change the
python versions. I have my system path set up for 2.5 so I don't know
what effect that has.

Would it be possible to just list the path in the command line when i
run manage.py? since other commands don't have this problem

Pretty admin pages

[djandrow]

Hello all,

I have just set up the admin pages for my site and if i use the built
in server i get the admin with the nice templates, but if I display it
on mod_python I just get the plain text, which is pretty hard to work
with.

I have these set up in the conf:


SetHandler None



SetHandler None


and my setting py has:

MEDIA_ROOT = ''
MEDIA_URL = ''
ADMIN_MEDIA_PREFIX = '/media/'

what am i doing wrong or what have i missed?

on a side note should i add CSS to my jpg|gif|png in my conf?

many thanks,

Andrew

Re: Keep getting NameError at /admin/

You need to remove the # from:

# from django.contrib import admin
# admin.autodiscover()

I had the same thing earlier.

Heres some more stuff about setting up the admin if you want to read
it:

A quick question about slug fields

[djandrow]

I believe these days a statment like this has been depreciated:

post_slug = models.SlugField(prepopulate_from=('post_title',))

I had a look through the docs but couldn't find the answer.
How can you now specify which field the slug is created from?

However when I try to get my project going I get

ImportError: Could not import settings 'mysite.settings' (Is it on
sys.path? Does it have syntax errors?): No module named
mysite.settings

But I have this in my conf:


SetHandler python-program
PythonHandler django.core.handlers.modpython
SetEnv DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE mysite.settings
PythonOption django.root /mysite
PythonDebug On
PythonPath "['C:/Program Files/Apache2.2/htdocs/mysite'] +
sys.path"


What could be the cause of this, there is definetly a settings file?
>From reading other posts i got the impression this could be a
permissions issue but I didn't know how to change permissions on
windows and I wasn't sure that was the cause?

Could someone help me please?

Regards,

Andrew

Re: Where to place files on apache server.

Ok thanks, I will make sure I do that.

Currently this is just on my PC so there aren't any security issues
but I will make a note of it for later, thanks.

Re: Where to place files on apache server.

[djandrow]

So i set it in Environment Variable then System variables [this is on
windows]:

PythonPath -- C:\ProgLangs\Python26

But i still get File

 "C:\ProgLangs\Python25\Lib\site-packages\mod_python\importer.py",
line 304, in import_module
return __import__(module_name, {}, {}, ['*'])"

How can I set the path to get it to look in the Python26?
I have a feeling i'm being a bit slow here.

Thanks,

Andrew

Re: Where to place files on apache server.

[djandrow]

Thank you, i will try creating a symlink.  I'm a bit confused about
the PythonPath though, is the python path an environment variable or
is it defined in the httpd conf or a 3rd place?

I know I have:

 PythonPath "['C:/Program Files/Apache2.2/htdocs/myproject'] +
sys.path"

in the conf. But how does this specify where python is located and how
can I change it?

Regards,

Andrew

Re: Where to place files on apache server.

[djandrow]

Thanks, that has helped me quite abit. But I still have one issue.
When trying to look at the pages I create I get the following:

Traceback (most recent call last):

  File "C:\ProgLangs\Python25\Lib\site-packages\mod_python
\importer.py", line 1537, in HandlerDispatch
default=default_handler, arg=req, silent=hlist.silent)

  File "C:\ProgLangs\Python25\Lib\site-packages\mod_python
\importer.py", line 1202, in _process_target
module = import_module(module_name, path=path)

  File "C:\ProgLangs\Python25\Lib\site-packages\mod_python
\importer.py", line 304, in import_module
return __import__(module_name, {}, {}, ['*'])

ImportError: No module named django.core.handlers.modpython.

This I guess is because I do not have django in my Python25
installation. It is installed within thePython 26 installation. Is
there any way to easily change this or would it be easier for me just
to install django with Python25 as well?

Thank you

Where to place files on apache server.

[djandrow]

Hello everyone,

I've recently installed apache and mod_python and i've managed to run
a couple of python files, so i guess its working. I've also created a
view, which displays a simple hello world message. I've tested this
with the django server and it works. But i'm not sure how to get this
to working with apache.

I created a file in Htdocs then in that created the project with the
views and urls.py and the others.
But if I go on http://localhost:8080/myproject/hello or
http://localhost:8080/myproject/hello/ I get a 404 not found error.

I was wondering what I could do to fix this and whether I've made a
mistake?

thanks,

Andrew

Mod_python

[djandrow]

I just bought a new laptop and want to install mod_python, is there a
version which is compatible with Python 2.6, I tried the 2.5 version
but it wouldn't let me install that with 2.6. If there isn't a 2.5
version what would people recommend I do? Thanks.

Re: A question about spaces and passing variables...

[djandrow]

So after messing around a for a couple of minutes I discovered the
urlencode changes About Me to About%20Me, (if you are using firefox 3
or above it will still display "About Me" in the address bar, that
confused me for a while).

But now if i put in:

url.net/blog/About%20Me/,

it doesn't match this url pattern:

^blog/(?P\w+)/$

So how can i get this to match the patter?
This is going to be one of those really obvious things, sorry i'm new
to all this stuff.
If someone could help that would be great.

A question about spaces and passing variables...

[djandrow]

I have a list of categories, which entries are filed into, then some
can click a category link in a template and it will take them to a
list of entries in that particular category. The problem is one of
this categories is "About Me", what I have so far in my view is:

current_entries =
Entry.objects.filter(entry_cat__cat_name=category).order_by("-
entry_date")

Since you can't have a space in a url the I apply the following filter
to the category name for the link:

|cut:" "|lower

This means the link location changes from url/About Me to url/aboutme,
this now passes into the view fine, but obviously it won't match About
Me in the database, from what i have gathered so far it seems to be
case insensitive so the problem is the space.

So, how can i get the  URL to match whats in the database?

thanks,

Andrew

Passing in a value from a url

[djandrow]

Hi, I am currently trying to pass in a value from a url and the
perform a query based on that, i've tried this:

def category_view(request, category):
current_entries = Entry.objects.filter(entry_cat=category).order_by("-
entry_date")
return render_to_response('blog/base.html', locals())

but I get this:

Caught an exception while rendering: Truncated incorrect DOUBLE value:
'general'

Is this because the value isn't a string, and how can I get it
working, I know the value is being passed into the view correctly.

Thanks,

Andrew

Re: Template Inheritance Question

[djandrow]

Its shared hosting so it could just be the file editor (which is built

anyone else.
If no one else is having the problem I would imangine that would be
it.

Template Inheritance Question

[djandrow]

I have a template, text that extend a template base.

In my text template I have;

{% extends 'base.html' %}

{% block content %}

SOME CODE

{% endblock content %}

Anyway, my question is when I enter this save it then stick it on my
server, it adds closing tags at the bottom;  and the
Doctype stored in base,html on the top, is this the way i'm uploading
the files or is it sommething to do with Django, and if so is there
anyway to stop it?

Its obviously impossible to pass the W3C validator if you have
multiple closing tags and other stuff like that.

Many thanks,

Andrew

Strange URL behavoir/problem

[djandrow]

I have the folling urls:

 (r'^(?P\d{4})/$',
'django.views.generic.date_based.archive_year', archive_info),
 (r'^(?P\d{4})/(?P[a-z]{3})/$',
'django.views.generic.date_based.archive_month', archive_info),

and archive_info is:

archive_info = {
'queryset' : Entry.objects.all(),
'date_field' : 'entry_date',
'template_name' : 'blog/archive.html',
}

The problem i am having is when i enter;

myurl.net/2008/aug/

i get a 404 error, but not the one saying it doesn't match any url
patters, theres two strange things about this,

1. if i do /2008/ without the month it works, fine every time,
2. about once in every 20 times it will work with myurl.net/2008/aug/

this to me seems very strange, that it work once every so often, and
practically the same url /2008/ seems to work fine, even though the
majority of information  is the same.

Does anyone have any possible ideas on theories on this, thanks

maxlength or max_length?

[djandrow]

I'm currently using django Version: 1.0-final-SVN-9020 and python
Version: 2.4.4, a few weeks ago (maybe a bit longer) I had to change
all my maxlengths to max_length, as I believe that was a change in
Django.

Anyway now when i try and use manage.py validate I get:

 __init__() got an unexpected keyword argument 'max_length'

however if i call parts of the model from the templates they work
fine.

So my question is what is going on? and what should i be using?

Re: Creating an Archive

[djandrow]

I solved this problem, for those who come after me, you can use:

Entry.objects.dates('entry_date', 'month', order='DESC')

where entry is the name of the table/model and entry_date is the name
of the date field. This returns a list of months with objects in.

Thanks for everyone's help,

then I have;

Re: Creating an Archive

[djandrow]

Thanks Russ, I'm still abit confused about the first part, I
understand it prints 2008-01-01, because its printing the years with
entries in them, and 2008 is the only year with entries, but rather
than get it to show all the years with entries I want it to show all
the months with entries in.

I had a look at the documentation:

http://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/ref/generic-views/#django-views-generic-date-based-archive-index

I am none the wiser though, how do I pass the months into the view?

I appreciate the help on the date format and the views, thanks,

Creating an Archive

[djandrow]

Hello, I currently have a website which I am trying to add an archive
to, i currently have the following date based URLs:

(r'^$', 'django.views.generic.date_based.archive_index',
archive_info),
(r'^(?P\d{4})/$',
'django.views.generic.date_based.archive_year', archive_info),
(r'^(?P\d{4})/(?P[a-z]{3})/$',
'django.views.generic.date_based.archive_month', archive_info),
(r'^(?P\d{4})/(?P[a-z]{3})/(?P\w{1,2})/(?
P[-\w]+)/$',
 'django.views.generic.date_based.object_detail',
archive_info),

my archive info dict contains the following:

archive_info = {
'queryset' : Entry.objects.all(),
'date_field' : 'entry_date',
'template_name' : 'blog/archive.html',
}

Now I have 2 questions about this:

1. I understand that to get your standard archive you use links on
your home you use 'django.views.generic.
date_based.archive_index', however if i use:

{% for dates in date_list %} {{ dates.date }} {% endfor %}

I just get 2008-01-01, i guess thats cos I only have entries in 2008
and the date is formatted wrongly, so my question is how can i get a
list of months, like you find on any archive links; September 2008,
October 2008 etc.

2. At the moment i've just been testing the generic view in a template
which does nothing else apart from show archive links, how can I
incorporate this with my main template (the index page I already have)
which uses views?

I would be grateful for any help or advice.

and on line 20 I get the following error:

This is my first attempt at using data based views so the same error

Re: Serving static files?

[djandrow]

You may find this useful:

http://groups.google.com/group/django-users/browse_thread/thread/73aae22ae6d20de0/dbfe3a60be00d9bb#dbfe3a60be00d9bb

You should have apache serve the static content because its much
faster. The link I sent you is when I was having problems with it a
few weeks ago, basically you need to set the apache directives so that
for static files the handler is set to none, if you read through that
and use the examples (the ones at the bottom, the ones at the top
where my original attempts) I think you will be able to get a feel of
whats going on. If you struggle with anything let me know. You should
know i'm no expert though.

Regards,

Andrew

Re: How to create a list of months from a date field.

[djandrow]

I've added the following to my urls.py, i don't know if they work, my
server only restarts every so often:

 (r'^archive/$', date_based.archive_index, archive_info
{'template_name': 'blog/archive.html'}),
(r'^archive/(?Pd{4})/?$', date_based.archive_year,
archive_info {'template_name': 'blog/archive.html'}),

Do these look about right and how can I can a list of months in
another template, I have a template index html
and a need a list with links for each month something like:

January 2008
Febuary 2008
March 2008

with links to the urls above. I may have misunderstood this whole
thing entirly to be honest.

Andrew

How to create a list of months from a date field.

[djandrow]

I'm basically trying to create a standard archive function.

I have the following field in my models:entry_date =
models.DateField(auto_now_add=True)

I understand dynamic urls and templates and things, so i don't need
help with that. What i need to know is how can i get a list of months
which have entries in them, I'd apperciate any help.

Thanks

Andrew

Dynamic URL

[djandrow]

I'm trying to create a situation where you can bring up all the blog
entries in a category through the URL. I've got this in my urls.py:

from django.conf.urls.defaults import *
from akonline.views import current_datetime

urlpatterns = patterns('',

(r'^test/$', 'address.blog.views.blog'),
(r'^blog/(?P\w+)/$',
'address.blog.views.category_entry'),
)

-

then this is the category_entry in my views:

def category_entry(request, category):
entries_in_cat = Entry.objects.filter(entry_cat=category)
return render_to_response('blog/index.html', locals())

-

then this is my pretty simple template:


{% for object in entries_in_cat %}
{{ object.entry_title }}

-

then these models:

from django.db import models

class Category(models.Model):
cat_id = models.AutoField(primary_key=True)
cat_name = models.CharField(max_length=20)
cat_desc = models.CharField(max_length=200)

def __unicode__(self):
return self.cat_name

class Entry(models.Model):

entry_id = models.AutoField(primary_key=True)
entry_date = models.DateField(auto_now_add=True)
entry_title = models.CharField(max_length=70)
entry_content = models.TextField(max_length=5000)
entry_cat = models.ManyToManyField(Category)

def __unicode__(self):
return self.entry_title

-

I don't get an error, its just it returns a blank page, so i'd guess
either category isn't being read in correctly or the filter statement
is incorrect. I'd appericiate any help

Thanks,

Andrew

Re: Serving static content using Apache

[djandrow]

Managed to get it working, thanks everyone.

I guess the problem was CSS was missing from locationMatch

Re: Serving static content using Apache

[djandrow]

I've added this,

 #css has been added to the end
SetHandler None


but still no luck, however if i look at the pages statically on the
server rather than having apache serve them the CSS is used so now I
know that the CSS works and i guess its in the right place, although
the relative and absolute address are the same, but if thats the case
it should work anyway.

Does anybody have any ideas?

Andrew
