Hi, I've a working setup of a Django site at production. Now I want to minify CSS and JS (in-place). To deploy I've a git's post-receive hook, that can call a script to do this. I've seen a minification tool, but thats in Java. Any python/django specific minification program? Does the

REST XML + HTML API suggestions

Testing with a non-model database

Hi, I am using multiple databases. My main database is working fine in tests, but the database used by the standard Python OpenID library is causing problems because it is not defined via a Django model. The OpenID library provides a way to generate the database at the command line, but I

Subclassing User class or User class "profiles" recommended for extra attributes?

Adding extra attributes to User classes seems to be handled originally by a "profiles". A new way seems to be to subclass the User class. One problem with the shiny new way is that lots of code is written to handle User classes instead of subclasses. The suggested way to fix this is nontrivial.

Thank you so much, Xavier. I think that's it. A while ago I checked my template tags for thread safety, but somehow I missed one of them that deals with form formatting. I will let you know if the problems reappears. All the best, Leif On Sep 20, 10:09 am, Xavier Ordoquy

Re: Automatically creating fields

There are always ways. You could subclass models.Model and add the behavior, if you read enough to understand how Django's models work. However, since you're only going create a model once (except migrations later), is it really going to save that much work? If you want to do it a quick &

Hi all, Last week I ported a site that gets 50k+ pageviews/day from a PHP/ mySQL stack to Django/Postgresql. It has gone mostly smoothly, all things considered. However, I have encountered a VERY troubling bug involving the forms module, and I can't figure it out. The form in question allows

Re: IPAddressField inserted as empty string although null=True

I believe that this is documented. I think that it's a limitation of forms that character fields store an empty result as a null string. All the null=True means is that the model field (not the model form field) is willing to send the database a null, should it find None in the instance
