Haven't done this directly, but what you'd have to do is get the __ac cookie that plone uses for sessions and use that. So, your django site would have to be on the same domain as your plone site. Then your django code would get the __ac cookie from the request. Then it would have to use something in the zope/plone API to get the username. Tricky bit would be talking to zope - I'm not sure how deep in the zope authentication system you'd have to go. It might be something we'd want to do on our site, so I might ponder it more later.

Good spot. Note that I did a double take on 'nonce' since I've only seen it as (UK?) prison slang for a sex offender. My thinking now is that if you are going to have to set up something on the apache side of things to handle nonces then you may as well find an apache-side download counter that increments on each GET. What not to do is to grep access_log every time you want a count. Especially if you have one of those 'Downloaded 634234 times' badges. Ick.

At some point the user is going to click on a link to download the file. What you do is make that a URL to a django app that increments a counter and then sends a redirect HTTP message to the actual file which apache then spits back. So you have a Django model called 'Downloads' with an integer 'Count' field and a text 'Filename' field. This could be initially empty... ..then your URL would be: http://mymachine.com/downloads/package/version/file-1.0.tar.gz ...then your urls.conf would match /downloads/(.*) ...the associated view then increments the counter for /package/version/file-1.0.tar.gz, or creates it if new... ...then sends a redirect (http code 304?) message to http://mymachine.com/files/package/version/file-1.0.tar.gz, which is the path to the file on the apache server. You might want to check the file exists in the Django view first ...so that the browser goes and gets that without asking the user. The only thing I'm unsure of is the exact HTTP message to send and how to get Django to do it, but it should be in the docs somewhere Barry --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.

Re: Mac vs. PC for Django work.

At work where we do real Django stuff our current developer is using Eclipse on Windows, but his replacement will be Linuxing. I'd be tempted to say to do your development on the platform that most closely matches your deployment platform.

If you can rework your database slightly you can use Modified Preorder Tree Traversal, which is a really slick way of doing trees in relational databases. You can get everything you need to know to present a tree diagram with ONE database call.

Re: session management
Well, you could encode the information that is normally transferred in the cookie by adding a parameter to the URL all the time, so that your URLs are always something like: /foo/bar/info?session_id=0873556323 BUT if anyone gets that URL they get that person's session. Which is a BAD thing. So don't do that. What precisely do you mean by 'track users session'? Just keep a log of where they are going on your site? You might be able to do that with a bit of URL fiddling since its not really security-related. The only other way I can think of to keep some state between web pages is to have a form with some hidden fields and make every request a POST. Eeeyuck.

It would be two lines of python to restructure that data to something the template tags can handle nicely.

Re: Recursive delete problem
Indeed! Perhaps nobody thought anyone would ever override the delete() method... I'm not sure why the strategy is to gather together all the related objects and then do the SQL rather than call the delete() method on each of them. Perhaps its more efficient. Perhaps it avoids possible loops where two objects refer to each other, or perhaps its all done in one transaction to keep the DB consistent. I can't see a simple way of doing what would seem to be the 'right thing'. What you really need is some sort of 'pre_delete' method. Oh dear, those things seem to have disappeared with the 'magic-removal' code... Probably worth filing this as a bug...

Looking at the code I see that when an objects is .delete()d all the related objects are gathered up and then it calls delete_objects: [django/db/models/base.py] # Actually delete the objects delete_objects(seen_objs) which does the actual deletion from the DB. Hence the .delete() method wont be called for related objects. So I'd say you weren't doing something terribly wrong, but it might not be a bug either. If this behaviour is desirable (and I cant see why it isn't) then it needs a bit of rewriting...

Re: Generating models from a class diagram
I'd rather go the other way - generate a class diagram from django model source! If you generate model code from a diagram you'll probably still have to edit the source to add new methods or tweak verbose_names, or add Admin meta classes, so then if you change the model you will lose all those changes unless you either put the code into your class diagram editor or have a smart UML-Python generator that preserves code sections - this is the approach of ArchgenXML which produces Python code for Plone content types. But I find the models.py code is as easy to construct as drawing a diagram, but it would be nice to get a diagram of all the foreignkey relationships. This shouldn't be too hard. Just need to introspect your model class and follow the related fields... Hmmm --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.

I would then split/reshape this list into a list of (keyword,

keywordsearch = [('python', [,]), ('coding',[,])]
then in the template you loop "for kwmatch in keywordsearch". Then
kwmatch.0 gives you the keyword, and kwmatch.1 gives you the list of
books which you then loop over.
Is that about right?

Howsabout having a database table that keeps the state of the current generation/compilation things going on. Your spawned thread just updates its entry as it progresses. This could even be a Django model of course! Just make sure your database handles concurrency correctly. Then your main template could have a block that queries that table for any activity related to the current user and lists it. You could use some ajax/timeouts to update it, or give the user an 'Update' button. You'd probably have to write a custom tag to do this.

This is simple if the view doesn't need any authentication, but you'd have to login and muck with session cookies if the view is protected by some access rights.

Re: users editing only their own info
Ground up would be my way of doing it. Lets break it down... You need an 'update' view that only shows the fields you want changing. That means a custom manipulator that only mentions the fields you want to modify. Protect this view by making sure the logged-in user is the user mentioned in the URL (/edit/123 where 123 is the id in the User model). Then write a template that shows the form that this manipulator is controlling. As for the 'approval', well, add a field 'Approved' to your user data. When the form is posted back, set it to False. Write another view only visible to Admin users that lists non-Approved users, giving a link to the admin page for that user - then the Admin can reset the Approved flag if the data is okay. Sketchy, but there's a few things going on here. --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.

Authentication by email+pass
I dont want my users to have to bother with a username. I want them to
authenticate with their email as their username. But django wont allow
valid @ signs (and other stuff) in a username. I could patch that but
that could bite me badly. So I found a better way.
First I create a manipulator:
from django.contrib.auth.forms import AuthenticationForm
class LoginManipulator(AuthenticationForm):
and override the __init__ and isValidUser methods. The __init__
method replaces the username field with an EmailField with name
'email'. Its just a cut n paste and replace job from django's code.
Then the 'isValidUser' validator looks like this:
def isValidUser(self, field_data, all_data):
"""
This is a modification of the AuthenticationForm validator that
uses
the email rather than the username
"""
try:
self.user_cache = User.objects.get(email=field_data)
except User.DoesNotExist:
raise validators.ValidationError, _("Please enter a correct
email and password. Note that both fields are case-sensitive.")
The only difference being the User.objects.get() line which gets the
User record by email rather than username.
Then your login template form has this in it:
Email:{{
form.email}}
along with the password field. All seems to work nicely.
Possible problems occur if email isnt unique in the User table. We'll
be enforcing that at registration time, and I guess we can put that in
the database conditions too.
Anyone think of any other things that could go horribly wrong?

I've had a few thoughts on this: 1. on the main admin page, just list the names of the apps and not the db tables as well. 2. clicking an app takes you to a per-app admin page, by default it would just be the one pretty blue-headed box for the app. 3. then it would be easy to have a custom per-app admin interface. 4. if you really want apps and tables on the main page, use a bit of CSS/JS to make the tables hide/expand as a drop-down or other UI element. This would also make django more web 2.0 compliant :) I have had a quick play at some of this, trying to factor out the list of tables for each app, but then magic-removal came along... As well as real work... It does that... Barry --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.

Re: Forking a new process
I did something like this in perl using HTML::Mason. However I used 'system' to start the background process, and files for communication... Its an on-demand backup system. The HTML::Mason code creates a temp file and then uses 'system' to run the backup job, passing the filename. The backup then noodles away for however long, sticking stuff in the temp file. Once its finished, it moves the tempfile to a log directory. Meanwhile an auto-refresh page is on the users' browser. It checks the presence of the temp file and shows the last ten lines if its there, or goes 'Hey, your backup is finished' if its gone. I dont see why you couldn't do this in Django - start a totally new process with os.system which can 'import django' and access the model. Then communicate with files... Perhaps :) --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.
