Re: How to get additional dynamic data into ModelChoiceField and ModelMultipleChoiceField?

[creecode]

Hello Alexis,

I don't have much to add other than I was in a similar situation to
yours.  I needed to generate an options choice list with radio buttons
for a form on the fly and discovered the "dynamic choices in a
ChoiceField" approach as well.

It seems to be working OK.  Make sure you populate each and every
instance of your from with your choices.  I stumbled on that one for a
bit in relation to processing the request.POST.  Makes sense when you
think about it but may save someone a few cycles! ;-)

Re: proper way to use S3Storage and Django ImageField

[creecode]

Hello Aaron,

I can confirm that it can work.  I'm using it but I don't know enough
to diagnose your problem.

Have you created the userprofile "directory" in your S3 bucket?

Have you added the following to your settings.py?

DEFAULT_FILE_STORAGE = 'S3Storage.S3Storage'

AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID
AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY
AWS_STORAGE_BUCKET_NAME
AWS_CALLING_FORMAT

Have you installed any software S3Storage depends on?

Re: proper way to use S3Storage and Django ImageField

[creecode]

Hey Aaron,

I think part of your problem is that AWS_STORAGE_BUCKET_NAME is not
properly specified.  It think it needs to be something like my-bucket-
name.s3.amazonaws.com.  Based on your settings then you should find
your images end up at http:my-bucket-name.s3.amazonaws.com/
userprofile/.  You may need to change the permissions on your bucket
and "directories" so that you can access the images via a url.  I
found S3 Organizer a plug-in for FireFox useful for this.

You may want to check out this Django documentation <

AUTH_PROFILE_MODULE which may clear up your confusion.  Registration

Have you tried getting the url like avatar.image.url?  I use a line

image_url = my_model_instance.image.url.replace ( ':80', '' )

You can use profile_callback like...

from accounts.models import UserProfile

url ( r'^accounts/register/$',
'registration.views.register',
{ 'profile_callback': UserProfile.objects.create },
name = 'registration_register' ),
( r'^accounts/', include ( 'registration.urls' ) ),

...in urls.py.  I'll mention here that the current development version
of registration is dropping profile_callback in favor of using
signals.  You may want to code in such a way that you can easily
change to using the signals if you update registration in the future.

An alternative would be to not use the profile_callback and use
Django's built-in signals.  Something like...

from django.db import models


class UserProfile etc, etc, etc...


def add_user_profile ( sender, instance, created, **kwargs ):

if created:

user_profile = UserProfile ( user = instance )

user_profile.save ( )


models.signals.post_save.connect ( add_user_profile, sender = User )

...in account/models.py.

The above code fragments will need to be altered and filled out to
suite your needs.  Hopefully they give you some ideas.

Re: OWNING code

[creecode]

Hello mn,

I'm not a lawyer and I don't play one on T.V.

Others have already answered about licenses and such.  I'm wondering
if your first question is about the custom code that the programmer
produces for you to make your website function?

Generally I think you'll find that you own the custom code.  It is
considered a work for hire, you can Google that.  I believe a work for
hire is the default situation if you and the programmer didn't specify
ahead of time the terms of code ownership.

Of course your situation may be different and a quick talk with a
lawyer that specializes in intellectual property and such is probably
a good idea.

If your programmer is being difficult you may need to take legal
action to get your code.

Hello Dhruv,

Two ways you can do this, that I know.  Use your databases' built in

Alternately you could use manage.py shell to run python code to load

The LOAD DATA was in reference too the LOAD DATA INFILE command <

MySql and was just an example.  Since you're using sqlite3 that
obviously won't be of help.  Most databases would have similar methods
for importing large amount of data.  You'd need to read up on how your
database does it if you do decide to go that route.

If you don't want to use the command line ( or some kind of client
program ) with your database then you're left with using manage.py
shell and writing a small python program to load your data.

Your program would need to load your Model, open and parse your file,
create and save instances of your model.  Opening files can be read
about in the Python documentation as well as commands that would be
useful in parsing your file ( string methods? ).  If you've been
through the Django documentation then you've seen how to work with
Django models.

Re: trouble uploading mp3 file

Hello oregon10,

I wonder if the field you are using to upload is an ImageField or a
FileField.  If it's an ImageField you would have problems trying to
upload an mp3 file.  I would think you would get an error message but
it might be masked by the code.

Are you able to upload images with this form?

Ariel is correct that the person who programmed your system would be
the best person to help you.  Are you able to contact them?

Another thought occurs.  How large is this mp3 file?  If it is really
large, that might be a source of trouble.

Re: Multiple sites, single application in Django

I can't say this is best practice but my approach to a similar goal

installed for each project but not all of my apps are fully site aware

I don't think this is the case.  I've been running an instance for
months with no more issues than if I'd been running on my own
hardware.  If you take sensible backup and other precautions you
should be able to recover from a problem when it does occur with
little problem.  I say when because no matter how you set up, the
underlying hardware ( yours or hosting providers ) will eventually
fail.

They both do the above.  Its just that the custom management commands
give you a little extra with it's built-in switches and such.  Use

You could add a "pages" directory to your templates directory.
Something like...

./pages
./pages/templates
./pages/templates/pages

And then you would do...

return render_to_response( 'pages/index.html'...

Model named FOOD_DES shows as "foo d_des" in admin

There is nothing wrong with MyISAM tables, if they meet the needs of
your application.  In some cases I think they are required; for full
text searching if I recall correctly.

The docs are just pointing out one way to change the storage type for
your tables if needed.

Don't discount this method to quickly if you use it with caching.
I've had some success with this technique.  Django's contributed Sites
< http://code.djangoproject.com/browser/django/trunk/django/contrib/sites
> application shows a use case.  Sites is used extensively in many
projects.  From there you can modify the admin for your app to allow
only working with the record that was created at syncdb.  This may not
be needed depending on the skill level of your users.  Modifying the
admin in this manner is not fully covered in the docs.  You will need
to dig around the web and the code for some of the techniques needed
for this type of admin customization.

Another technique I've been experimenting with is modifying the
settings.py file for a project from an app then reloading the source
code.  Of course you have to have a stack that is setup to use this
technique for this method to work.  Apache with Graham Dumpleton's
mod_wsgi can reload source code <

You can accomplish the first with remember me and by not checking the

do that.  You could probably adapt the code in remember me to do x

Could you be a little more explicit about what you want to do?

Are you wondering if Django has a GUI to control the order of items in
a list such as a song playlist?  I'm pretty sure the answer is no.
However, you can use 3rd party utilities and integrate them into your
website.  Here is one such solution <

Re: send_mail not sending e-mail in view, but does send e-mail in shell

[creecode]

Hello Heleen,

I don't have any specific solutions for you.  In several of my
projects I have views that do deliver email without issue.

A couple of things come to mind.  Have you checked that the arguments
passed to send_mail in your view are correct?  Is it possible that
there is some kind of permission problem?  Something like the Nginx
process isn't allowed to send email?

It might help us to help you if you could let us see the relevant code
in question and any tracebacks if there is an error.

Re: What validation tests are applied to ImageField?

My understanding from what I've read is that most of the heavy lifting
for image handling is done by PIL (Python Imaging Library) <
http://www.pythonware.com/products/pil/ >.

I've been getting into using virtualenv and as part of that I've been
doing some PIL easy_installs.  One PIL install was built with the jpeg
library and when I tried uploading a jpeg image file, all went well.
Another PIL was built without the jpeg library and when I tried to
upload a jpeg image file, Django complained that the image wasn't in a
recognized format.

So, I assume Django is passing the file to PIL and asking if the file
is in a format that PIL can deal with and is in a valid format.

The PIL documentation may be able to clarify how it validates images.

Hello Jonathan,

See the "Storing additional information about 
users<https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.3/topics/auth/#storing-additional-information-about-users>"
 
section in the docs.  There it mentions the expected format of 
AUTH_PROFILE_MODULE.

I suspect what you need to do is wrap your UserProfile model up in it's own 
app if it isn't in one already.  Alternately you need to change the 
"models" in AUTH_PROFILE_MODULE to the name of your app.

Let us know if that works for you.

To indicate that this model is the user profile model for a given site, 
fill in the setting 
AUTH_PROFILE_MODULE<https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.3/ref/settings/#std:setting-AUTH_PROFILE_MODULE>with
 a string consisting of the following items, separated by a dot:

   1. The name of the application (case sensitive) in which the user 
   profile model is defined (in other words, the name which was passed to 
   manage.py 
startapp<https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.3/ref/django-admin/#django-admin-startapp>to
 create the application).
   2. The name of the model (not case sensitive) class.

For example, if the profile model was a class named UserProfile and was 
defined inside an application named accounts, the appropriate setting would 
be:

AUTH_PROFILE_MODULE = 'accounts.UserProfile'

 
So yes your UserProfile model should be inside of a separate app.  I 
usually call this app accounts just like the docs.  I generally put all my 
models inside an app not at the top level of a project.

There is some overhead to write the commands but the upside is that they 
give you a defined way to approach the problem within the realm of Django.  
Also since they are django-admin commands you can run them as you would any 
other django-admin command manually which can be convenient at times.

The keyword items being displayed as "Keyword object" are probably because 
you need to define a __unicode__ method for your Keyword model.

Something like this...

def __unicode__ ( self ):

return '%s' % self.pk

Obviously you would need to tune that method to match your model definition

I don't think it would be impossible to do it all in Django.  If you do it 
solely with Django you would need your box to act like a submit button on a 
form so that you can have the Django server do something in response to a 
form submission.

But without a clearer definition of how you want your app to behave it will

That bit looks like it might cause trouble.  You are assigning status to

{% for status in statuses %}

or

{% for status in status_list %}

or

I use both those techniques and they work great for me.  I've use them on

brand_name = forms.CharField ( label = _( 'Brand Name' ), max_length =

'placeholder' :
'enter brand name', } ) )

super ( AmountPerServing1Form, self ).__init__ ( *args, **kwargs )

for key in self.fields:

field = self.fields [ key ]

field.widget.attrs [ 'class' ] = 'span7'

I don't see anything wrong with your syntax.  Have you tried the usual

Could there be some browser or other caching going on between you and the

Are you sub-classing those forms for using them directly?

Re: adding html5 field attributes to a model form

Ah I see.  I haven't looked deeper in the code I'd guess the type is being 
set after you set it deeper in the machinery based on field class?  Perhaps 
a custom field could accomplish your goal?

Are you running Django and MySQL on the same server box?  If so then you 
are possibly running into speed issues because of contention.  There are 
several Djagno configuration docs on the web that talk about using at least 
one server for your app and another for your database.  Another thing to do 
is move static files onto their own sever.

You might want to try django-debug-toolbar to examine your queries for your 
webpages to see if you can do some optimization.  I highly recommend giving 
it a go!

Of course there are many things one can do to make things faster but you'll 
need to give us some more info about your setup before we can help you more.

Macs are great for Django development!  You may have to do a bit more work 
to get some libraries installed as sometimes they aren't specifically tuned 
for Macs.  Any modern Mac should be just fine for development.  Heck even 
ancient Macs (PPC based) can be used albeit slower and somewhat harder to 
configure, not the OS but again some of the libraries you might install.

I have a website <http://www.crowdsourcingnutritionfacts.info/> in 
development and the servers are Mac based.  The webserver is a recently 
purchased low-end Mac Mini <http://www.apple.com/macmini/specs.html>.  Its 
stack includes djagno, nginx, gunicorn, psycopg2, etc.  The database server 
is an ancient Power Mac G4 (Mirrored Drive 
Doors)<http://support.apple.com/kb/SP63>, 
Dual 1GHz.  It's running Postgres.  The webserver was formerly a Power Mac 
G4 (Mirrored Drive Doors) <http://support.apple.com/kb/SP63>, Dual 1.25GHz 
which finally gave up the ghost after almost 10 years of faithful service [ 
sniff :-( ].

The system has thus far not been optimized but it runs adequately fast at 
this stage of my development process.  Feel free to look around or even 
enter in some nutrition facts labels! :-)

Re: RSS Reader

Hello armagan,

A quick guess.  Mozilla's RSS reader doesn't understand your  tag and 
so passes over it and doesn't display it?  If the  tag isn't part of 
the RSS specification <http://www.rssboard.org/rss-specification> then a 
"standard" reader isn't going to do anything with your tag.  You would need 
either a custom reader or one with an extension.

Why a forced upgrade?  Just use what you installed to get your projects up 
and running until such time as as conditions are comfortable for you to

The key factor for your situation is going to be how quickly the apps

Before you go looking for another system you may want to do some research

Generally you start with an XML parsing library. Which one you choose 
depends on what you are trying to do and also what makes sense to you. 
There are many Python based XML parsing tools available and a Google search 
would return many results.

Python has some built-in libraries that you might find of use 
xml.dom.minidom<http://docs.python.org/library/xml.dom.minidom.html#module-xml.dom.minidom>
 or 
xml.etree.ElementTree<http://docs.python.org/library/xml.etree.elementtree.html#module-xml.etree.ElementTree>.

For your name server you'll want to use a 
wildcard<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wildcard_DNS_record>
.

Django can handle subdomains with certain plugins like:

You don't have to use a Django app to handle subdomains, all the routing 
can be handled with your webserver (like Apache, etc.)  It just depends on 
where you want to do your configuring.

You can get Django to create a new database on the fly with the use of a 
custom management command.  Essentially you'll be using RAW SQL in the 
management command to do the database creation bit.  Keep in mind that you 
need to have a Django environment setup to use the custom management 
command.  That involves some overhead which only you'll be able to
