Re: best practice override admin 1.2 "delete"?

[Mengu]

you can override the delete method for your models and set a column
ie, is_deleted to True or something else in there. so, subclass
models.Model, override delete option and your models should extend
your new subclass.

sorry, i've got you wrong. i thought you wanted to use the constants

your real problem is about serving static files. reading

Re: How to send email from html?

[Mengu]

that is actually jquery code, mixed with a django template variable.

$ is an alias for jquery which lets you do some nice things with it.
you can also replace it with "jQuery('#send_..')".

#send_{{ forloop.counter }} means the element with id "send_x". x
there is whatever the current forloop.counter is.

so the whole code "$('#send_{{ forloop.counter }}').submit();" means
"submit the dom element which has the id of 'send_x'"

Re: how to find if a record changed

[Mengu]

i believe it does. you can override the "save" method of your model
like this:

from django.db import models
from datetime import datetime

# Create your models here.
class TestModel(models.Model):
first_field = models.CharField(max_length=255)
second_field = models.BooleanField()
updated_at = models.DateTimeField(default=datetime.now)

def save(self, *args, **kwargs):
if hasattr(self, 'id') and getattr(self, 'id') is not None:
self.updated_at = datetime.now()
super(TestModel, self).save(*args, **kwargs)

Re: best practice override admin 1.2 "delete"?

[Mengu]

while i was reading the docs, i've noticed something and felt like i
should warn you. my suggestion is not the best practice if you are
doing something like
"Model.objects.filter(some_field=some_value).delete()". for deletions
like that you should use pre_delete signal [1].

[1] 
http://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/ref/signals/#django.db.models.signals.pre_delete

good luck.

Re: Finding a developer

[Mengu]

well, it may be hard to find if you require their presence otherwise
you will find many great developers who are looking for remote full/
part time work.

Re: How to group models month by month.

[Mengu]

this is overkill. the query you actually need is this (there even can
be a better way):

SELECT DATE_FORMAT(pub_date, "%Y %M") as pub_date, COUNT(*) as count
FROM app_posts
GROUP BY pub_date
ORDER BY count DESC

i have no idea how to pull this query by the Django ORM but you can
run this as a raw query like this:

Post.objects.raw("SELECT DATE_FORMAT(pub_date, "%Y %M") as pub_date,
COUNT(*) as count FROM app_posts GROUP BY pub_date ORDER BY count
DESC")

kolay gelsin.

Re: Which Linux distro to use on EC2?

if i had to choose a linux distro, i'd go with debian. however if i

Re: Widgets

[Mengu]

there are tons of django apps. you can search them, install and use in
your application without any problems.

for example for your rich text editor need, you can use django-
ckeditor application. it also gives you the possibility of browse and
upload images on the fly.

for the rest of your needs search http://djangopackages.com/ and
http://www.django-apps.com/.

good luck.

Re: Best way to upload and play a video

[Mengu]

if you are having problems with the django basics then you have to re-
do the django tutorial at 
https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.3/intro/tutorial01/.

here is your work flow:

* create your django application.
* create your models.
* build an upload form.
* get the user input.
* save it to your database.
* use jwplayer or flowplayer to play the video.

Re: Ember.js or Backbone.js for Django?

they both belong to the template concept of django. you can write down

django models and views. it is all up to your tastes and requirements
to use one of the two.

Re: Django - Forms Widget TypeChoiceField - how to set id for two radio buttons

hi luke,

instead of setting auto_id to False, you should give it a string
parameter. please read more on

all the best.

Re: Django user should not login on multiple machine with same username and passowrd when user already login on one machine

[Mengu]

there are two simple ways.

have your own login view first. in your own login logic:

1) assuming you have a UserProfile model, add a field called is_online. in 
your login view after logging the user successfully, set the is_online 
field for this user to True.
2) if you are using redis or memcached instead of hitting the db, you can 
have a simple key like ("user_%s_is_online" % username)  and expire it 
until your session expires. 

depending on the way you choose, before logging the user in, you simply 
check if that user is online or not. if the user is online you can show an 
error message like "you are already logged in somewhere else."

Re: Can I set a "global" variable after user login, to use in my view?

[Mengu]

hi fellipe,

if you enable auth context processors and pass in RequestContext to
render_to_response you can always access the user in your templates
which also means you can access the associated profile as user.profile
(assuming your model is named profile)

please read more at 
https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/topics/auth/default/#authentication-data-in-templates
