Django 1.4 admin. Calendar widget appears for DateTimeField but not DateField

[grimmus]

I have checked for missing resources (jquery etc.) but all external assets 
are being loaded correctly. It's just that nothing appears beside the 
textbox for the DateField !

Anyone any ideas why this might be happening ?

Thanks

Avoiding code repetition in views

[grimmus]

Hi,

I am doing a site for a DJ that lists upcoming gigs on each page. There's 
an include file in each page template to output the list of gigs.

I am wondering how i can pass the gig information to every page without 
having to repeat the code in every page view.

I hope i have been clear

Thanks

Displaying events by month

[grimmus]

Hi,

I am trying to output upcoming events in the following format

*June 2012*
12th - Event 1
15th - Event 2

*July 2012*
1st - Event 3

*August 2012*
20th - Event 4

My model is very simple with just a title and dateTime field. I am unsure 
how i could output the months followed by the events in the style above. I 
guess nested loops would be necessary but would i need a separate loop for 
each month output ?

Thanks for any tips.

Year dropdown in Django admin

[grimmus]

Hi,

I have a car model that contains many fields including a 'year' field. I 
need the dropdown for this field to display the current year as the first 
option and also display the previous 25 years as individual options.

I was thinking i could create a list object and then populate the list 
based on the current year and work my way back to 25 years earlier.

I am not sure how to implement this so it would work in the Django admin 
area.

Could someone please point me in the right direction with this ?

Thank you in advance.

Determining profile completeness

[grimmus]

Hi,

I am interested in extending the User object and implementing
functionality that determines how complete the users profile is.

So, if they have filled in 5 of 10 fields the profile is 50% complete.
But, some fields are more important than others so i was thinking of
weighting each field (a weight of 1 add's 10% to the profile
completeness and a weight of 3 adds 5%).

Has anyone tried to implement something similar to this using Django
or another framework ?

Thank you for any advice/tips.

list out of range error

[grimmus]

Hi,

On the homepage of my website i list 1 random ad in the right column.
In my view i retrieve it like so:

side_ad = SideAd.objects.filter(active=1).order_by("?")[0]

If all ad's are inactive no object's will be returned thus creating an
IndexError : list out of range

I tried to wrap the above in a try/except block but it's still the
same error:

try:
 side_ad = SideAd.objects.filter(active=1).order_by("?")[0]
except (KeyError,SideAd.DoesNotExist):
 side_ad = None

I still pass side_ad back in the context.

Could someone tell me what I'm doing wrong ?

Thanks.

Re: 'unicode' object has no attribute '_committed'

[grimmus]

I am doing it in the admin area, so i dont have any custom code.

The issue might be with the Modeltranslation module. It creates extra
columns for the different translations, so, for example, title has
title, title_en, title_fr as rows in the DB. This applies to the image
field too.

Thanks for any further guidance.

'unicode' object has no attribute '_committed'

[grimmus]

Hi,

I am using Django 1.2.1

I have a model called Project that contains a char field and an image
field.

My project used Modeltranslation so i can have an English and French
version of the 2 fields.

When i try and add a project  in the admin i get the error: 'unicode'
object has no attribute '_committed' . I'm quite certain it's an issue
with the image field.

Does anyone know what might be going wrong ?

Thanks

Calling some javascript for new visitors only

Hi,

I need to show a javascript lightbox popup for new visitors to my

I presume using a cookie is the best way to achieve this. But how can

javascript code if it's a new visitor ?

I hope i have been clear,

Thanks for the reply.

I settled on django-modeltranslation, it's easy to install, well

best translation solution for my project

[grimmus]

Hi,

Sorry if this has been asked before, but i only seem to be finding
bit's and pieces for what i am after.

I have a simple website that needs to be available in English and
French.

I am using locale-url so all pages can have an independent url ( e.g.
en/page and fr/page)

There is a locale folder in my project that contains the .po and .mo
files, all this is working correctly when i switch languages.

The question is, how can my client translate the model fields in the
admin area ? For example, there is a client list page that uses a
model with a title and a body text. If they initially entered the
client list in English, how would they add it in French ?

I have heard about something called Rosetta but have not looked too
much into it yet.

Thanks for any advice on what solution would be best based on my
requirements.

ordering objects in the admin area

[grimmus]

Hi,

I have a staff app that lists staff photos and their names. The client
would like to be able to re-order these in the admin area easily.
Ideally there would be a dropdown where the user could select between
1 and n which object should appear in what position in the list.

I could add an extra integer field to the model, but how would i
initially populate it with a value ? And how would the dropdown work
in the admin area ?

Thank you for any tips/advice.

Session not working as i had hoped

[grimmus]

Hi,

When the user enters a site for the first time they should see a flash
version of the logo. All other times they should see a gif image. My
home view looks like:

if request.session.get('has_visited',True):
visited = True
else:
visited = False

t = loader.get_template('static/home.html')
c = RequestContext(request,{
'visited': visited,
})
return HttpResponse(t.render(c))

request.session['has_visited'] = True

So, i set the value of the session after the page has been served.

Then in my template i have

{% if visited %}
visited already, show gif logo
{% else %}
new user, show flash logo
{% endif %}

It seems the Session is always True, even when i clear all browser
info, restart etc.

Could someone tell me what i am doing wrong ?

Thanks

Deleted blog posts not disappearing

[grimmus]

Hi,

I have a website with 5 pages and a blog.

At the bottom of every page is a list of recent blog posts.

When i delete some blog posts they still appear in the recent posts
list.

I am not using any caching.

If i restart the local dev server then they disappear.

Could anyone tell me why this is happening ?

Re: Remove session on browser close

[grimmus]

Basically all i want to do is the following :

Have a newsletter signup form. When the user signs up successfully the
area where the form was has a thanks message instead of the form.

The form or thanks message is displayed on every page of the site, so
I thought using a session would be the best way handle whether to show
the form or the thanks message.

Here is my form



{% if form.errors %}
Please enter a valid email address.
{% endif %}
{% if form.thanks %}
Thanks for signing up
{% endif %}
{% if form.alreadyexists %}
The email address already exists
{% endif %}
{% if not form.thanks %}
  
  
{% endif %}

  

And my view

if request.POST:
form = SignUp(request.POST)

if form.is_valid():

email = request.POST.get('email', '')

try:
entry = MailingList.objects.get(email=email)

form.alreadyexists = True

except (KeyError, MailingList.DoesNotExist):

entry = MailingList()
entry.email = email
entry.date_added = datetime.now()
entry.save()

request.session['signed_up'] = True
form.thanks = True

return HttpResponseRedirect(request.get_full_path())

else:
print form.errors

else:

form = SignUp()

t = loader.get_template('home/page.html')
c = RequestContext(request,{

Remove session on browser close

[grimmus]

Hi,

I have a simple newsletter signup form. If the user submits the form
and there are no errors then i set the session:

request.session['signed_up'] = True

Then, for all other page requests i check if the session exists

if request.session.get('signed_up', True):
form.thanks = True

form.thanks shows some HTML in the template.

How can i remove the session when the user closes the site ?

I tried SESSION_EXPIRE_AT_BROWSER_CLOSE = True but it does not seem to
do anything.

Thanks for any advice

Form submission show 'thanks' message

[grimmus]

Hi,

When the form is submitted i would like to show a message above the
form. Much like the way if there are form errors you can print
form.errors

So, in my template i have entered

{% if form.thanks %}
thanks for submitting the form
{% endif %}

Then in the view i have

entry.save()
print form.thanks

In my Form Model i have

class SignUp(ModelForm):

class Meta:
model = MailingList
exclude = ('ip_address','active','date_added')

def thanks():
return 'thanks'

I guess i am doing something wrong

Thanks for any tips

Shared views

[grimmus]

Hi,

I have a site with a blog area and 5 pages powered by a simple cms.

On every page i show event information in the right column and social
media info in the left column.

I am wondering what view should contain the info for the left and
right column ? I would like to keep it separate from the blog and cms
views so i can re-use it in both places.

Any advice is appreciated. I hope i have been clear.

Re: Django with Jquery

link to the Google jQuery instead of a local file (it's really fast
too)
