>4. Task-oriented indexes: "I need to unit test my application", "I >need to audit the security of my site", "I need to extend the auth >system", etc. These ones are often overlooked, I think. If you look at PHP's documentation there's a lot of "how-to"-style documents. How do I write a guest

Re: How to stop spam on our groups

2008-01-12 Thread Simon Greenhill
The major problem is that someone has to moderate. Who does this? Moderating would take a non-trivial amount of time - especially on the high traffic django-users. Wouldn't we rather have djangonauts enhancing django than cleaning up spam? I suspect that most people following the lists are

Many problems with edit_inline and unique_together

2007-08-30 Thread Simon Greenhill
Hi all, If anyone's looking for something to do over the weekend [1], there seems to be one whole metric tonne of issues caused by people trying to use edit_inline and unique_together at the same time in the admin section. I think this has been largely ignored since we're trying to move the

Evenin' all. Could we not just make the warning at the top of each docs page a little bit more obnoxious? Currently we have the following at the top of each docs page: """ These examples are from Django's SVN release, which can be significantly different than previous releases. Get old examples

Merge in django book documentation?

2007-08-18 Thread Simon Greenhill
Hi guys, or more specifically Jacob and Adrian, What's the plan (or should I say legalities) about merging in the djangobook info into the django docs? #3483 has an attempt at adding info about the AUTH_PROFILE_MODULE which is largely taken from the book. Is it ok (==legal) to do this, or should

Re: BlobField before .97

2007-08-14 Thread Simon Greenhill
The last time we discussed this [1] I think everyone sort of concluded that a binary field was a sensible idea as long as it's PRIMARILY for storing small chunks of binary info, and not an easy-I-want-to-store- binaries-in-my-database type of thing. >From memory, most of the issues in that

Missing documentation/models/ page on django website

2007-08-12 Thread Simon Greenhill
Hi all, The django website is choking on http://www.djangoproject.com/documentation/models/ It's getting an internal server error, so it looks like a glitch in this page's generation somewhere. I'm pinging this, since there's been at least 3 duplicates of it, so people are missing this page.

Does SELECT 1 FROM... Work on SQL Server and Oracle?

2007-08-12 Thread Simon Greenhill
Hi all, I'm trying to work out if Ticket #5030 is good to go or not. Basically, when save() is called on a model, django does a SELECT COUNT(*)... query to check that the primary key is good. However, SELECT 1... is apparently quite a bit faster in many circumstances, and we should use it if we

Evening all, This is great - the trac is really ticking over, which indicates a LOT of interest. I've been triaging for a while now, and the incoming tickets have increased notably in the last few months. However, I try to spend 20 minutes a day or so, and I manage to churn through a sizable
