django.conf.urls.defaults.url documentation

I recently started working on a new Django project using the latest release, and I found the function django.conf.urls.defaults.url being used in urls.py. There's no pydoc documentation for this function. Can anyone tell me what it does or point me to some documentation? thanks Mike --

Problem with get_absolute_url

Hello, I'm trying to get my head around some of the basics of Django and I've run into the strangest problem. Can't figure out what the problem is, the URL from my get_absolute_url() function in my model just refuses to turn into a proper URL. I'll post the code so hopefully it will be obvious for

Open the Django page raw-id widget within TinyMCE

Hi Django's raw_id widget is very well suited for selecting a page as a foreign key in the admin frontend. Even from a tree view as it is the case for instance in FeinCMS. TinyMCE on the other hand allows for a dropdown list for link targets. Which is not that great if you have a few hundred

I've used Ubuntu 11.0 on an EC2 micro, using nginx and uwsgi and its great. There is also a google group for ubuntu on ec2, with loads of support. If you use uwsgi you have to compile it on the server. I had a tough time using Amazons version, I don't remember why, but had no problem using Ubuntu.

Hey, I'm not sure on what the problem is here. I just wanted to let you know that I did the same test on my setup. And it appears to be returning the username as a unicode string. >>> a = User.objects.get(id = 1) >>> a.username u'admin' I don't have any default-character-set option in my my.cnf

Mysql + Unicode + username curiosity

So, I just ran into a funny issue. I'm using Django + Mysql and when retrieving users (Auth.user) form the database, the username field comes as a bytestring while everything else seems to come as unicode strings: >>> from django.contrib.auth.models import User >>> a=User.objects.get(id=1) >>>

Re: setting up openlayers proxy.cgi

Django itself won't run a CGI script for you. You'll need to run it with another web server like Apache or nginx. (Usually the default installation of Apache has a cgi-bin directory where you can place CGI scripts.) You can run one of these servers at the same time as running manage.py run

I build healthcare applications and the gov't regs require we log most user access to patient info. Since I've only built one (rather large) Django app, my logging is in the same DB as my data and I use decorators in views.py to log all access. There is only one table in it's own schema that is
