looking for an app to view various github repositories within a django powered site

[garagefan]

I'm looking to build a website to collaborate on some open source projects. 
I'd like to set up discussions based on git repositories, and maybe even 
allow folks to contribute/fork/submit issues, etc.

I could handle this on my own, but its more of a side fun project for 
myself and I'd rather see if there is something already completed, or 
mostly completed.

thanks!

get all objects that are related to current, reverse look up

[garagefan]

simply put, here's my code

class ContentBlock(Orderable, Displayable):
  location = models.ManyToManyField(ContentBlockLocation, blank=True,
null=True, help_text="list of locations to display content block")
  page = models.ManyToManyField(Page, blank=True, null=True,
help_text="list of pages to display content block")
  height = models.IntegerField(blank=True, null=True)
  width = models.IntegerField(blank=True, null=True)

  def __unicode__(self):
return self.title


class StaticContent(Displayable, RichText):
 content_block =  models.ForeignKey(ContentBlock, blank=True,
null=True)

class StaticContent2(Displayable, RichText):
 content_block =  models.ForeignKey(ContentBlock, blank=True,
null=True)

putting together a template tag that will return all the items
associated with a given ContentBlock, but i would like to do so
without knowing upfront all of the classes that have a foreign key to
ContentBlock as i'll want to be able to add more content types at any
time

Re: Sidebars

[garagefan]

This sounds like too much work, every time you want a new option in
the sidebar you're adding another if, right?

I'm planning on building a template tag to handle side content like
that. I am using mezzanine as my base so i have the luxury of having
every url resolve to their Page model. So i'm going to be using a
onetomany field (i think) to assign content to pages as well as a
section (sidebar_left , sidebar_right, etc)

In the main template all i'm going to have to do is

{% sidebar_left page.id %}

pass page.id through to the function and return all of the content
that has a key to that page.id.

there will be more to it, such as figuring out which model the content
belongs to in order to send the data to the correct template to render
it with

Re: how to list all model classes within admin that extends another model?

[garagefan]

basically speaking, i want a class' admin page w/ it's list of entries
listed on the client page.

so, every class object that has a Client pk foreign field relationship
is listed on that Client's admin page whether it is a portfolio
object, an invoice object, or any future class i create that gets a
foreign field relationship to Client

Re: how to list all model classes within admin that extends another model?

yeah, i've changed things around just slightly and included a
tabularinline

however, now i need to modify the template to display a link to each
of the items pages, b/c as is it only allows one to update the name of
the clientobject, which is now:

class ClientObject(models.Model):
  client = models.ForeignKey(Client)

i would like each ClientObject listed to link to it's admin page.

how to list all model classes within admin that extends another model?

[garagefan]

building a client management application for myself

in one application model, called client_management, i have
class Client(models.Model):
  active = models.BooleanField(_('active client'), default=False)
  name = models.CharField(max_length=250)
  logo = models.ImageField(upload_to="logos")
  def __unicode__(self):
return self.name

class ClientObject(models.Model):
  class Meta:
abstract = True

in my portfolio app i have:

class Portfolio(ClientObject):
  client = models.ForeignKey(Client)
  active = models.BooleanField(_('active portfolio'), default=False)
  category = models.ForeignKey(PortfolioCategory)
  name = models.CharField(max_length=250)

within the main client_management application's Client within the
admin i want to list all apps, like Portfolio, that extend
ClientObject whose client foreign key is the current Client.

IE:

within a Client within the Client_Management in the admin i'd get a
link that says "add portfolio" perhaps with a list of portfolios
already added.

eventually i'd like to extend this with more client applications, like
invoices and notes, etc... plus unknown future applications, so i'd
like it to work without anything more than creating a class that
extends ClientObject

better options for hosting multiple django based websites?

[garagefan]

I've got a server hosting multiple websites. Currently its not a big
deal to add another virtual host entry to apache2. Now, i'm using a
bad habit and using an http.conf instead of learning about, and
setting up "available sites".

I'm using mod_wsgi as well.

Now, in consideration of using "available sites" instead of the
http.conf, i'm looking for a better option than manually creating
entries for projects. for instance i'm using subdomains on my
development server... project.name.website.com where all projects are
served under my website. I'd like to set the server up in such a way
that i don't have to add a new entry within apache to understand name
points to a specific directory. However, the issue appears to be that
WSGIServerAlias doesn't accept any wildcards.

is there a way around this? Is my question even understood?

thanks

new project settings file not found

[garagefan]

this is a first for me. i set up a project like i normally do and get
things set up... run syncdb for the first time for the project. Havent
had this happen before and things seem to be working on other projects
just fine. I've even go so far as to comment out the handful of apps.
I presume there

now, is there a requirement that the apache stuff be set up to run
syncdb? that is the only thing i can think of as i just set up the
subdomain and http.conf for it on the server. doesn't seem to make
sense to me that that would be the case though...

file/directory permissions are the same as my other projects as well

Re: thumbnails and rackspace files

[garagefan]

easy thumbnails certainly does a decent job of creating thumbnails.
I'm not too fond of having a template tag do that though... it
basically does what i'm think of doing, but in a different area. it
also doesn't send the thumbnail over to cloudfiles, which is really
what i'm wanting to do, and without running syncstatic.

i'll take a look through easy thumbnail and see if there are any clues
for me... i should just have to override it's save functionality to
get what i need.

thanks for cumulus! its nicer having a specific backend for this
instead of one that is useful for multiples.. at this time anyway.

thumbnails and rackspace files

[garagefan]

setting up django-storages was simple... using rackspace's python API
to send an image to my container... met with some troubles (broken
pipe error on code that worked).

however... on the save of my gallery application i'm creating
thumbnails. this is easy to do with my custom field... normally.
django-storages doesnt work so well with this. So i need to come up
with a work around. My first thought was to grab the image from the
CDN server, open it with PIL, crop and create the thumbnail, save it
to my server, push it to my files server then delete the files on the
working server.

this seems like a lot of processes to be running and there has got to
be a simpler way. and my idea on injecting this code would be into a
signal, pre save, assuming that the file is written to the files
server prior to the item being saved. currently i have a custom field
extending the ImageField w/ an attr_class that extends the
ImageFieldFile. I'd prefer to run everything in the attr_class if
possible and would prefer to stay away from grabbing the image from
the public url and do modify the image and create the thumbnail along
the way.

i suppose i could go the simple route and and use css to alter the
main image.

Rackspace has an API for connecting to the server and writing to it...

image servers?

[garagefan]

so i bit the hype and got myself a rackspace cloud account. i also got
a rackspace file account for image serving. i would like to write
something that overrides where all images are saved, regardless of the
model that requests the save.

what would this be? would i make this a middleware? I assume i need to
extend and "replace" the default "save file to MEDIA_ROOT directory"

i havent had to extend or replace django's default behavior, so before
i start digging in to this, i need to know the best place for this...
which, i assume would be middleware. yes?

Re: How to get a web development job (i.e. Django/Python) if someone is an amateur programmer?

I was once in your shoes. No real resume experience to show... no

My advice... makes more friends. It's all in who you know. Met some at
an intro html course at a community college, ended up being good
friends. He was a developer already, but a few years later he tells me
about a company he got placed at and said I could easily do the

Re: signal locations

[garagefan]

That wouldn't resolve the problem any more than having everything in
the models.py.

i wish to externalize this signal from the gallery application so that
it is up to the website project whether or not a signal is being used.
i suppose i could add a toggle variable in the gallery settings file
so the project settings file can decide whether or not to utilize the
work being done within the method via a local variable...

seems kind of a messy way to do things... it'd be great to have a
single file for the website's signals... sort of like setting up
templatetags at the project level

signal locations

[garagefan]

Now, i've read the thread in regards to putting the import in the
__init__.py

here is my structure

website_project
- > signals
- - > signals.py (and an __init__.py)
- > shared_apps (link to numerous apps shared amongst other projects)
- - > gallery application

my signals.py looks like this

from django.db.models.signals import post_save
from django.core.mail import send_mail
from gallery.models import Gallery

def send_creation(sender, instance, *args, **kwargs):
if 'created' in kwargs:
if kwargs['created'] and instance.published:
send_mail('Subject here',[sender, instance.published,
args, kwargs,], 'f...@example.com', ['t...@example.com'],
fail_silently=False)

post_save.connect(send_creation,sender=Gallery)

this works when in the gallery application, however... this is just a
test case, eventually i am going to be hitting up the fb graph api and
posting the website's facebook profile, and i'd prefer to keep the
gallery application useful for both facebook and non-facebook
integrated websites.

I've attempted import signals and import signals.signals in the
website_project __init__.py. the former resulting in nothing and the
latter resulting in a "internal server failure" upon restart.

user defined settings via the admin

[garagefan]

having an application specific settings.py is a nice idea, in our
world.

In the real world websites seem to be managed by non-technical
people... and ultimately we're not just building these applications
for technologically "gifted" people. Settings should be defined with
the admin for certain things... how many blog items or gallery images
would you like per page? this shouldn't require a call to "IT support"
or granting someone server access to change these settings when they
wish (then call IT support when they screw it up)

what are our options to grant admin based settings? Obviously a model
called settings with perhaps it's own admin template to only allow/
show a single entry into this model/db is possible. But should it
really warrant an additional database call every time the page is
loaded to grab the settings(lets ignore caching for the moment)? How
about an xml file that is editable by the admin? seems like a valid
option to have a config.xml associated with a project and to have the
admin site access to it, i presume a feature like this would require a
hook into the admin site.

any input, ideas, experiences?

Re: multiple views function in a single URL specification

[garagefan]

seems like you're over thinking... you want a single url to handle
multiple pieces of information?

you can assign a single view function to a url. but you can define
multiple functions within that view and merely pass them through to
the template as part of the response.

Or take a look at template tags, as that appears to be more suitable

perhaps i can set up the django app under a different domain name and

hey all, was wondering if my following error is a result of copying
django-tagging and markdown from my windows XP machine onto my server
via FTP and then moving them into the appropriate directory.

just going through the webmonkey tutorial to reacquaint myself with

I know i know, this has been asked a million times... i've looked at
the answers and i've checked things...

both mod_python and django live in my site packages directory. I've
set apache as the group and gave it RWX privileges. i've also insured
that the path from site packages to the modpython.py does in fact go
through django/core/handlers/modpython

at this point, i'm not sure what else to check.

my virtual host setup looks like this:

NameVirtualHost kennethdavid.net:80


ServerName kennethdavid.net
ServerAlias www.kennethdavid.net
DocumentRoot /home/kdwadmin


SetHandler python-program
PythonHandler django.core.handlers.modpython
SetEnv DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE kdnet.settings
PythonPath "['/home/kdwadmin', '/home/kdwadmin/kdnet']
+ sys.path"
PythonDebug On



obviously it works because its getting to mod_python and getting sick.

Re: Django and php can they mix?

[garagefan]

The easiest solution i can consider is having php request a url from
the django project that would return a dynamically created xml file
that you could then parse via php, set variables from, display, etc.

You could theoretically run the site in django, and the admin and all
that goodness, but control display via php.

I'm not really sure that its worth it though. I'm not a php developer,
but there's got to be a php framework that is as simple to use as
django as far as database work and an auto admin section is
concerned... if not, i suppose it would be worth the hassle.

Re: Optional m2m relationships in Admin

[garagefan]

>From my limited understanding of Django...

the admin.py stuff should not contain any save function.

http://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/ref/contrib/admin/#ref-contrib-admin

what exactly are you trying to do with the tag? Your M2M field in the
initial Game class creates the relationship.

You may want to looking into using the django-tagging app, which is
what i used for my stupid little blog app (doesn't everyone create
that first? lol )

If it helps, the first thing i did when learning django is follow the
webmonkey.com django tutorial 
http://www.webmonkey.com/tutorial/Install_Django_and_Build_Your_First_App

i found this infinitely more useful than the tutorial on
djangoproject.com, as it goes into things a bit more complex and gives
a greater idea on how things work together in the framework.

Also, don't underestimate the framework... it does a lot of things for
you, which is the point. It allows you to build an app quickly without
worrying about the annoyances of SQL.

Re: Optional m2m relationships in Admin

[garagefan]

Not totally sure this will help with your error, as i haven't come
across it yet.

But for fields that may be empty I also have a blank = True and null =
True. This is to tell the DB that it is acceptable to have no value in
the field.

ie, i'm using the following to choose add users to a private forum
category:

allowedUsers = models.ManyToManyField(User, verbose_name=_('Members'),
blank=True, null=True,
help_text=_('Select Users that are allowed to view this private
group'), limit_choices_to={'is_staff': False}
)

how to check manytomany field in filter?

[garagefan]

Trying to test a manytomany field in a model that will be user names.
Building that is simple enough in the model, and so is selecting the
users in the admin.

the problem is filtering a query to test the current logged in user
with the manytomany field to ensure they are listed.

ie:
filter(Q(is_private=False) | Q(approvedUsers = str(request.user))

where approvedUsers is the manytomany field

Re: views, templates, render and groups

[garagefan]

ok... i'm trying to use exclude in the query set to get this to work.
I'm not entirely sure how my logic should go though...

especially since i would be comparing to lists that would result in <>
not being usable... since a user and a group won't contain the same
set of groups.

is it possible to do use a boolean? i realize list.index(x) returns an
error, not a -1 as in java... so how would i get about including a

forumgroup.index(User.groups) > -1

of course... that only works if there is one group assigned to the
user... i would have to check each group...

I'm sure this is a simple logic issue... but i can't seem to figure
out what i'd need to do

views, templates, render and groups

[garagefan]

pretty vague title i know...

Can I return a query set via  foo.object.filter() where in filter i
check a manytomany field in foo against the group field for a user?

I guess a way to use a group as a permission?

IE: An article that would normally appear with a ton of other
articles, in a ManyToMany field tied to groups has been set to Group1.
Now a handful of users are in Group1 and that article is only supposed
to be visible to those people, as well as the other non-group assigned
articles in the list.

I'd like to take care of this in the views in the render for the
template so that only the objects that can be viewed are passed
through. It seems that permissions are set up by django based on the
models themselves, and i haven't seen anything on creating custom
permissions for groups themselves. So any of the permission check
functions would not work.

Re: Standard way to treat temporary data which must be validated manually (by an admin)

[garagefan]

why not have two TextFields for the app, one for the approved content,
and one for the edited and unapproved content?

Write a function that overwrites the content in the approved TextField
with the item in the unapproved TextField and delete the unapproved
TextField and tie that function to a select box.

'datetime.datetime' object is unsubscriptable

[garagefan]

I'm attempting to install diamanda forum, and so far things are
looking promising.

however, i am receiving the above error, in the subject, at line 140
of dimandas.pages.feedupdate

specifically, the line is: 'date': date[:10] located within a Context.

This occurs on save of a new topic. w/o the query limit this file
works, but then i get an error:

 Data truncated for column 'rss' at row 1

the full code for the context itself is:

 c = Context({
 'user_id': author_system_id,
 'username': author[0:14],
 'date': date[:10],
 'cssclass': cssclass,

Re: python.conf question, multiple sites on same server?

will do, going through now... i did find this:

should i set this to On?

Re: python.conf question, multiple sites on same server?

[garagefan]

I have root access. I've just now attempted both moving the
NameVirtualHost *:80 around, from the python.conf to the httpd.conf,
and changed its location in the httpd.conf.

i've also moved the import for the python.conf as well, from above to
below the NameVirtualHost and there have been no changes
is there possibly something else that needs to be set up for the
VirtualHost to work?

Invalid command 'xxx', perhaps misspelled or defined by a module not
included in the server configuration

it doesn't appear that anything in the  is being read,

Re: python.conf question, multiple sites on same server?

[garagefan]

i do appreciate all your assistance and am growing to understand the
server side a bit more. you're right about the documentation being...
light...

i've taken what you posted and have not seen a difference at either of
the websites mentioned the main page results in the base fedora test
page saying that the server is running. the other pages result in a
page not found, ie: kennethdavid.net/blog results in this. error logs
say the same thing, file not found... except for one error, the below
being located in the error log for kennethdavid.net:

[Sun Jan 04 15:55:56 2009] [error] [client 71.230.64.77] Directory
index forbidden by Options directive: /home/kdwadmin/public_html/

is this possibly what you've mentioned in regards to apache having
permission to access? permissions for everything are either root as
owner/group and kdwadmin as owner/group. the only difference is a
directory in the images directory i had changed to be group apache so
that it had write privileges for the gallery app to upload images to.
Also worth noting is that the files in the image directory do indeed
show up in the browser

I'm not seeing any permissions based errors in the httpd error logs
either, though i could be wrong... here is the error_log from the
latest restart

Re: python.conf question, multiple sites on same server?

[garagefan]

this is rather aggravating as i'm unsure what exactly I need to give
you to help me :/ this isn't your fault at all, as i'm an
unexperienced with working with servers, mod_python, python and
django.

i am learning all this as I go along.

i've got two websites on my server, both with different IP addresses
(obviously)

they reside in

/home/kdwadmin
and
/home/kdwadmin2

the first directory above has another folder in it w/ my django files.
full directory is /home/kdwadmin/mysite

nevermind that my django files are placed in an inappropriate spot,

i will be taking care of that shortly, /home/django/kdwadmin will
contain the apps for the first site while there will be no directory
for the second site at this time.

my 's were set up as per the djangoprojects.com tutorial

the first directory, that includes the django apps, is for website
kennethdavid.net, the second for carclubhub.com.

so what i need to do is set up a virtual host for both sites, one that
will point kennethdavid.net/* to the django app and another that will
say carclubhub.com/* SetHandler None

there is only one port under "Listen" in the apache config file.
Should i create an ip specific listen for each website? and have :80
for one and :81 for the other and would that allow me to create two
VirtualHosts? one for each port?

Re: python.conf question, multiple sites on same server?

[garagefan]

there is currently only one virtual host set up, for the site i'm
working on. I do not need anything to happen with the other url. my
django files are in a folder at the same level as the root folder of
the site.

i simply need a virtual host for www.website.net that sits at /home/
site1/ on my server that has a django directory at /home/site1/mysite
to work.  the django files themselves at  /mysite work just fine, and
were working before i attempted to set up the virtual host. and
www.website.net was working just fine as well with the way the
's are currently set up, before the virtual host stuff was
added.

i figure i'm missing something before the first  that is
causing the issue of the directory for the django apps not to be read.
I do not want to set them up in the public_html directory as that is
the main site directory, which if per chance i need to give someone
access to that... i don't want them in the django directories at all.

the server itself is a virtual server from godaddy running red hat 7
w/ apache and mod_python.

I was looking at a few pages and they mention DocumentRoot... should
this be to /home/site1 or to the project files?

how does PythonInterpreter need to be applied?

Re: python.conf question, multiple sites on same server?

[garagefan]

i currently only have two sites, one is not being developed at this
time.. but w/o the virtual host that site displays the same apps and
info at it's url as the site i am working on, which i do not want to
happen. what i have copied for my virtual host is really everything i
have.

As i said, i have not been able to find much documentation on this so
i've been unable to mess around with it myself beyond this point (as
this is really only what the djangoproject site shows)

each site sits like so...

/home/(username)/

username being the base directory... so say

/home/site1/ and /home/site2/ both have a  /public_html/ directory in
them which the server reads as the base level for the site. but with
the locations set up in python.conf /mysite/, which is at the same
level as public_html in the site1 directory is being used for the
apps. location '/' results in being able to target the apps via the
first slash in the url after the site name, which is the desired
result.

however now, i get the apache works page at "www.website.net" and page
not founds on anything else that worked previously to attempting to
set up the virtual host

Re: python.conf question, multiple sites on same server?

[garagefan]

no, as then i would need to use, for example... www.website.net/mysite/*
instead of www.website.net/* for the various apps.

as i said the locations worked perfectly before attempting to create
the virtual host. right now i need to have this virtual host point to
the correct website on my server.

would i change server name to be an ip address? as each website on my
server has a unique address, while having the same port? since 80 is
the open port for apache

python.conf question, multiple sites on same server?

[garagefan]

I've read the documentation, and it doesn't seem clear enough, or
provide a fully working example?

i've copied what i have in my python.conf file, keep in mind that i
have removed site specific names and have made them generic


NameVirtualHost *:80


ServerName www.website.net


SetHandler python-program
PythonHandler django.core.handlers.modpython
SetEnv DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE mysite.settings
PythonOption django.root /mysite
PythonDebug On
PythonPath "['/home/html'] + sys.path"


SetHandler None


SetHandler None



i get no python errors, however when i go to the site i receive
nothing. these locations worked previous to attempting to set up a
virtual host. i assume *:80 is the port? in which case, i suppose it
may be possible that the port is incorrect? in which case, i'm unsure
as to where to check this... i assume under the apache conf file?

"OperationalError at /admin/galleries/gallery/

i just added the status field as i wasn't worried about any of that

very important to consider your required fields before syncing

working with a returned object inside another class

[garagefan]

below is the code... the first def doesn't return anything... (def
get_gal_teaser(self))
i'm using a custom tag to return the Gallery class to the base
template file, which works...  so calling the method get_gal_teaser
works as well... and returns an object? when the second e =
e.image.get_thumbnail_url() is not there... ie this is returned:
[]

i want to return, obviously from above, the get_thumbnail url method
so i can work with html/css to display it nicely in a secondary nav


class Gallery(models.Model):
name = models.CharField(max_length=200)
descrip = models.TextField()
gallery_id = models.AutoField(primary_key=True)

def get_gal_teaser(self):
e = ImageUpload.objects.filter(gallery = self.gallery_id)[:1]
e = e.image.get_thumbnail_url()
return e

def __unicode__(self):
return u'%s ' %(self.name)

class ImageUpload(models.Model):
title = models.CharField(max_length=200)
image = models.ImageField(upload_to = 'gallery')
gallery = models.ForeignKey('Gallery')

def save(self):
super(ImageUpload, self).save()
if self.image:
   tsize = 150,150
   path = settings.MEDIA_ROOT + self.image.name
   img2 = Image.open(path)
   img2.thumbnail(tsize, Image.ANTIALIAS)
   img2.save(self.get_thumbnail_path())

def get_thumbnail_path(self):
path = settings.MEDIA_ROOT + self.image.name
return self.convert_path_to_thumbnail(path)

def convert_path_to_thumbnail(self, path):
basedir = os.path.dirname(path) + '/'
base, ext = os.path.splitext(os.path.basename(path))
th_name = base + "_tn"
th_name += ext
return urlparse.urljoin(basedir,th_name)

def get_thumbnail_url(self):

custome tags, single model, multiple classes

[garagefan]

I've got a gallery model, with a Gallery class, and an ImageUpload
class. in my custom tag i'm pulling in the Gallery to display a list
of galleries in a side bar. this works fine. But, i want to randomly
display an image associated with that gallery, which would be accessed
through ImageUpload (i should change the class name to Image).

do i create another class in the single custom tag in the templatestag
directory? or can i create another tag in that directory? or... do i
create a method inside the Gallery class so that it is accessible that
way?

thanks

displaying correct image url

[garagefan]

currently, self.image.name displays the absolute server path...

i want to change this so that when i call it, it either display the
relative path, or an absolute path for the website itself.

so instead of displaying /home/site/mysite/images/gallery/
imagename.jpg

it will display http://www.sitename/images/gallery/imagename.jpg

in settings i have:

MEDIA_ROOT = '/home/site/mysite/images'
MEDIA_URL = 'http://www.sitename.com/images/'

in the models.py:

image = models.ImageField(upload_to='/home/site/mysite/images/
gallery')

"mysite" being the base level directory for the site itself

Just wondering if anyone else has experience with setting the write
permissions for apache using mod_python w/ django.

generating an image?

[garagefan]

Is it possible to generate an image, to save it on my server, of a web
page by passing through the url only?

say perhaps I want to link to a few sites from mine, and i'd like to
include a thumbnail of the site... and instead of taking a screen
capture, and uploading it, i pass through the url of the page, and the
image of the homepage is generated from that.

thanks

Re: setting the proper file permisions chmod

[garagefan]

which would actually result in keeping my server more secure... i
would assume leaving other with rwx would be paramount to keeping my
front door wide open?

I'll look into mod_wsgi... but i can't imagine that every person
running mod_python and working with file uploads hasn't had to combat
this little issue.

is there really a safety concern? or is there another way around this?

Re: setting the proper file permisions chmod

[garagefan]

this is my first time working this closely to the server for a live
environment :)

"apache" appears as owner of the file once uploaded. is there a way to
set the default on this to be another user?

setting the proper file permisions chmod

[garagefan]

I figured out my issue with the "access denied, suspicious operation"
bull...

apparently the only way the admin side of my site can upload an image
to a directory is by having "other" set to have full rwx set... ie
chmod **7 I'm not so sure this is a good thing to keep set as that
would give everyone, logged in or other, access to overwriting data,
adding stuff, etc... right?

Re: image uploading via admin, and an error...

[garagefan]

I attempted this with a png and was greeted with a success... but then
python/server denying access to the directory due to "suspicious
operation"... so i've got two things to fix... I suppose i need to set
up some kind of write access to the server?

image uploading via admin, and an error...

[garagefan]

getting this error:

"Upload a valid image. The file you uploaded was either not an image
or a corrupted image."

tried with a gif and with a jpg. I've got PIL installed...

it probably has to do with my models.vi.

from django.db import models
from django.core.files.storage import FileSystemStorage

from tagging.fields import TagField
from tagging.models import Tag

class Portfolio(models.Model):
sitename = models.CharField(max_length=200)
url = models.CharField(max_length=200)
thumb = models.ImageField(upload_to='/images/portfolio')
description = models.TextField()
tags = TagField()

def __unicode__(self):
return u'%s' %(self.sitename)

do i need to do anything with the Storage API to get this to work? Or
is there a certain item i need to place in "INSTALLED_APPS"?

Re: time it takes django to read database?

[garagefan]

ok, server time is 2 hours and 11 minutes behind... this could explain
the issue then. The admin section, when creating a new entry takes the
time current actual time. So it makes 100% sense that django/python is
reading the incorrect time. I've attempted to update the server time
using the usual date "time" crap and was told the procedure was not
allowed, i assume this is due the server being a virtual server.

what would the best way to fix this?

the detail.html does not use latest however

Re: time it takes django to read database?

[garagefan]

Server is Red Hat 7, set up by godaddy, its a virtual server. Python
2.5 w/ mod_python and python-devel installed. running latest django.

I am using webmonkey.com's tutorial for this:
http://www.webmonkey.com/tutorial/Install_Django_and_Build_Your_First_App

so you can find the blog app as well as the templates in there. The
part that is working instantly is the "secondary" section located in
the base.html template that the other two blog templates extend

thanks for lookin

copy this into the setup.py

sure thing:

Re: time it takes django to read database?

[garagefan]

ok... i've been able to figure out how long it takes based on the time
stamp... an hour and a half for a new object to have come in. It
appears that the item is not readable by the two templates, one of
which using {%for object in latest $} and then another template that
doesn't use it at all.

the code that reads the objects instantly is:

  {% for obj in recent_posts %}


{{ obj.title}}

{% endfor %}

which is getting the info from:

from django.template import Library, Node
from django.db.models import get_model

register = Library()

class LatestContentNode(Node):
def __init__(self, model, num, varname):
self.num, self.varname = num, varname
self.model = get_model(*model.split('.'))

def render(self, context):
context[self.varname] = self.model._default_manager.filter
(status=1)[:self.num]
return ''

def get_latest(parser, token):
bits = token.contents.split()
if len(bits) != 5:
raise TemplateSyntaxError, "get_latest tag takes exactly four
arguments"
if bits[3] != 'as':
raise TemplateSyntaxError, "third argument to get_latest tag
must be 'as'"
return LatestContentNode(bits[1], bits[2], bits[4])

get_latest = register.tag(get_latest)

an hour and a half is a bit much... i could deal with 5-10 minutes,
but at the same time, if the "Recent entries" list reads
immediately... so should the rest of the site

time it takes django to read database?

[garagefan]

following another tutorial to build a blog (webmonkey.com's) at it was
rather frustrating to see nothing show up after creating a new blog...

the admin section seems to see these right away, as they are there as
soon as you hit save. But it seems to take the one section 10-20(or
more?) minutes to read that they are there, while another section on
the same page (that lists the items by title) no time at all. though
when I update something that is listed already in the main section
(the area that takes a while to get new info) it gets updated
immediately... such as the title or entry

http://kennethdavid.net/mysite/blog/

most likely if you look within 5-10 minutes you'll see how there are
three entry titles, and two blogs... i'll go ahead and add another
entry, so at the very least there will be 4 titles and three available
entries...

what would possibly cause this?

getting this error on my admin page. just started working w/
webmonkey.com's tutorial 
http://www.webmonkey.com/tutorial/Install_Django_and_Build_Your_First_App

this is occurring after installing the tagging module... which
including me needing to install python-devel as well as using Eric's
fix (third to bottom): 
http://code.google.com/p/django-tagging/issues/detail?id=110
to get around the issue i'm seeing on my site now.

my /etc/httpd/conf.d/python.conf file looks like this:

LoadModule python_module modules/mod_python.so

SetHandler python-program
PythonHandler django.core.handlers.modpython
SetEnv DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE djangoblog.settings
PythonOption django.root /djangoblog
PythonDebug On


on the godaddy virtual server my site directory, per site:

/home/kdwadmin

w/ djangoblog being a directory within there. I'm wondering if the
tagging module is causing this issue?

issues with .96 tutorial

[garagefan]

I've recently set up a virtual server w/ godaddy and followed
http://www.howtoforge.com/how-to-install-django-on-fedora9-apache2-mod_python
to install django.

I'm following the tutorial and am up to setting up the admin section
and configuring the urls.py for the polls model. this is what is
happening when i uncomment the line it says to. 
http://kennethdavid.net/kdwCode/admin/

i'm using kdwCode instead of mysite, and have been through out the
tutorial.

I'm pretty much new to running my own server, and obviously to python
and django. Everything has been, thus far, set up as per the tutorial.

http://www.djangoproject.com/documentation/0.96/tutorial02/

thanks  in advance for any help
