Rendering Group Labels for Checkboxes and Radio Groups
Hi, When I render a CheckBoxGroup or a Radiobox group and I apply a label to whole widget (independent of the labels for each of the choices), I get something like this: Group Label The problem is that because the top label has the attribute "for='element_0'" if you click on it, it activates the first check box (id='element_0'). I'd like to stop this functionality from happening, but I can't find where to change the rendering for the group label, without affecting the labeling of each individual input. Any ideas or suggestions? Mike --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.

PID/processes for runserver
I've written a script to launch a server, run some tests and then kill the server afterwards. The problem I'm having is that the PID returned from the subprocess call is not the same as the PID needed to kill the server. Is there any way to get the runserver command to run with a single process? Other potential solutions are welcome.

Re: Load Templates from outside TEMPLATE_DIRS
The template in question is to format my test results, and I didn't want to have lump it in with the production templates, or have the template directory permanently attached to the TEMPLATE_DIR So instead I've just loaded a new settings file with a modified TEMPLATE_DIR before I do my tests. Works pretty well. Thanks.

Load Templates from outside TEMPLATE_DIRS
I'm trying to load a template file from outside of TEMPLATE_DIRS, i.e. the template file does not reside in any of the template directories specified in TEMPLATE_DIRS. Does anyone know if this is possible? I tried just specifying a path: i.e.'../../new_dir/template.html' but that doesn't seem to be working. Any suggestions?

Dynamic Choices for ChoiceField
Hello, I'm trying to make a form for data entry into my database that uses ChoiceFields for foreign keys. Obviously, the ideal choice would be ModelChoiceField, however I'm not using the django ORM, so I've assumed that's not going to work (I'm using Elixir/SQLAlchemy). I originally set the choices parameter in the ChoiceField declaration to be derived from a query result from SQLAlchemy (returned as an array of tuples). The problem is that the choices don't update when the database changes. They are fixed to whatever was present when the server is initialized (or at least it appears to be). I've worked around this by using CharFields and implementing my own validation method that checks for the value in the aforesaid query result. Unforunately, that doesn't help me if i want to use the forms.as_ methods. I'm looking for suggestions/advice on to get the ChoiceField choices to update when the form is the used.

Custom Manage.py Commands
I'm trying to create a custom manage.py command for my project. The example in the documentation only shows how to do this for custom commands inside of an app. Is it possible to do the same at the project level? I'm currently specifying a Command class in a module file within a management/commands package as suggested in the documentation, but it doesn't seem to be finding the command.

That's the problem. I was running them from the shell. I appreciate
your help.

Help with Test Client, Templates and Context
I'm trying to use the test client to verify my views, but when I check
the templates and contexts I get 'None' returned instead of the
context dict or the template. I do get the correct content and status
code however. I was hoping someone could give me some tips. Here is
some example code:
#views
def home(request):
t = Template("{{info}}")
c = Context({'info':'Sales Home Page'})
return HttpResponse(t.render(c))
def addProduct(request):
if request.method == 'POST':
form = forms.ProductForm(request.POST)
if form.is_valid():
try:
p = db.models.Product(**form.cleaned_data)
db.session.commit()
c = Context({'type': 'Product',
'entry': p,
'time': datetime.datetime.now().strftime
("%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S")})
t = loader.get_template("product_added.html")
return HttpResponse(t.render(c), status=201)
except:
db.session.rollback()
status=206
else:
status=204
else:
status=200
c = Context({'title': 'New Product', })
t = loader.get_template("newproduct.html")
return HttpResponse(t.render(c), status=status)
Notes: I'm not using the django DRM (I'm using SQLAlchemy), but to me
that seems irrelevant (I may be wrong).
I'm attempting to access the response as follows:
from django.test.client import Client
c=Client()
r = c.get("/url/to/home") #Access views.home
r.content #Returns correct content
r.context #returns None
r.template#returns None
r = c.post("/url/to/add/product",
{'name':'testProd','units':'testUnits','notes':'no notes'})
r.status_code #returns 201 correctly
r.content #Returns correct content
r.context #returns None
r.template#returns None
# This post adds testProd to the product table correctly
I would greatly appreciate any suggestions, tips, hints or help of any
kind.
Thanks,
Mike
