Hi Everyone I've posted this to the django-users list, though I realize now that this is probably better suited for the developers list, since I am more providing information about the behaviour of the Django Admin and unicode than asking for help. Any help forhtcoming would be greatly appreciated, od course.
I am using Django svn, updated 3 days ago. DEFAULT_CHARSET is set to 'utf-8' and the files with unicode characters are all marked -*- coding: uft8 -*-. When trying to view a row in one of my models in the admin site (the data was entered using a newforms view), I get the following following error: UnicodeEncodeError at /admin/forms/foo/1/ 'ascii' codec can't encode character u'\xe3' in position 286: ordinal not in range(128) Request Method: GET Request URL: http://formularios.inspiro.pt/admin/forms/foo/1/ Exception Type: UnicodeEncodeError Exception Value: 'ascii' codec can't encode character u'\xe3' in position 286: ordinal not in range(128) Exception Location: /usr/lib/python2.3/site-packages/django/ oldforms/ __init__.py in __str__, line 169 Template error In template /usr/lib/python2.3/site-packages/django/contrib/admin/ templates/widget/default.html, error at line 1 Caught an exception while rendering: 'ascii' codec can't encode character u'\xe3' in position 286: ordinal not in range(128) 1 {% load admin_modify %}{% output_all bound_field.form_fields %} Traceback (innermost last) /usr/lib/python2.3/site-packages/django/template/__init__.py in render_node 723. result = node.render(context) /usr/lib/python2.3/site-packages/django/template/__init__.py in render 856. return func(*resolved_vars) /usr/lib/python2.3/site-packages/django/contrib/admin/templatetags/ admin_modify.py in output_all 178. return ''.join([str(f) for f in form_fields]) /usr/lib/python2.3/site-packages/django/oldforms/__init__.py in __str__ 169. return str(self.formfield.render(self.data)) Now, to correct the problem, I went and swapped 'str' out for 'unicode' in the last two lines of the traceback. This solves the problem, but creates another. After the swap, If one tries to save a flatpage containing accented characters, the same error is reproduced when rendering the following view on those two lines that were altered, though the flatpage data will be saved. Any suggestions? Is the newforms-admin in a usable state? --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django developers" group.
