both auto_now and auto_now_add are quite hackish little puppies. auto_now should really be equivalent to a _pre_save that sets the field to the current time. auto_now_add should really be equivalent to a non-editable field that gets set to the current time on insert, and is just statically displ

What does your auth model look like?

django-admin.py init worked ... so the tables are there (not "django_admin_log", i´m sure about that). i already created a superuser. could that be a problem? (i´m still using the dreamhost-wiki for my installation). i also get the login for the admin-interface. when trying to login, i get the er

Re: install admin won´t work

What is the value of your DJANGO_SETTING_MODULE environment variable? Is that the same as the project you're working on? Have you checked and double checked the DATABASE_ENGINE and DATABASE_NAME in "YourProject"/settings.py? Do they match the DB you're looking at when you say _log doesn't exist?

Re: Auto-reload is not working

Are you using a release version or a SVN checkout? I'd be using either (1) the latest SVN checkout, or (2) Release 0.90. The auto-refresh is a 'relatively new' change, so if you're working with an old release or checkout and just now trying it out - it won't be there.

I posted something related some time ago and now I'm back. Don't hate me, you are perfectionist and you should like my way :) Consider the following example that shows the use of 'choices' for some kind of Fields, plus the effect of blank=True: - class Test(meta.Model): c = meta.CharField(

Generic view slug

I'm taking a look right now at the generic views list views. I want to show a list of article authors, and then the individual authors. I really want to use a slug (author's name) rather than an id, but rather than being stored in the Author model the name is stored in auth.User which I have a

indexes on tables

I want to add a UNIQUE() contraint to a table, and create extra indexes on tables. Should I just go ahead and do it in SQL, or there's a python way to specify such extras? Also -- can a ForeignKey be supplied with a human-readable name, like other fields?

Whoa, this is very neat... I see the /admin/csv_thing/ URL getting dispatched to (presumably) a method in the target app, - is this correct? If so (big drum roll here), does that mean a method in my_app can get the content of 'result_list' from change_list.html, and work on it to produce the CS
