Re: Problem updating data

No, that's not the problem. Even if I redo the query now, I still get the same count (see below). And, like I said, the change does not show up in the admin either -- THE VALUE HAS NOT BEEN CHANGED. This behavior is so unexpected I'm not sure how to even begin trouble- shooting it. ~Karen PS --

Problem updating data

I have a model "Entry" with an "active" field, which is just a boolean. All of the current entries were false, and I was trying to set them all as true, and I'm running into a strange problem. Here's an example, trying to set just one entry to inactive: >>> from dictionary.models import Entry

Re: Using request.GET and having issues

Yep, the encoding was the problem. I just added a line searchterm = searchterm.encode('utf-8') and now it works! Thank you! On Apr 16, 9:19 am, Karen Tracey <kmtra...@gmail.com> wrote: > 2011/4/16 Karen McNeil <karenlmcn...@gmail.com> > > > > > I have the fo

Re: Using request.GET and having issues

No, that's not the issue. In addition to displaying the count, the page also shows the resulting sentences, and the count here is correct because no results were returned. I think Karen, below, might be right that it has something to do with the encoding of the search string... I'll try working

Using request.GET and having issues

I have the following view set up: def concord(request): searchterm = request.GET['q'] ... more stuff ... return render_to_response('concord.html', locals()) With URL "http://mysite.com/concord/?q=برشه;, and template code Your search for {{ searchterm }} returned {{ results }}

Re: Passing variables to the template... I've having logic problems

Yes, that worked. Thank you! Of course, now that I fixed that, I have to deal with the other problem that I was avoiding... But I'll post that in a different question. :-) Thanks again, Pedro. On Apr 15, 9:35 pm, Pedro Kroger wrote: > You can try something like: > >

Passing variables to the template... I've having logic problems

I'm trying to make a concordance (ie, a list of a certain searchterm, including its surrounding context) and I can get it to work in the interpreter, but I'm having problems figuring out how to make it a list that I can pass it to the template. This is what works in the interpreter (tokens is a

Just wanted to give you all an update: I started using Aptana Studio with the PyDev plug-in and I'm really liking it; I think it was just what I needed. Thanks for all the suggestions! ~Karen -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.

Re: Blog Listing on Home Page

This is definitely doable. And easy -- you can use django's generic views for it. I recommend you pick up / download "Practical Django Projects," by James Bennett. He'll walk you through every step for creating a blog, using generic views, etc. ~Karen McNeil On Feb 21, 4:33

Looking for IDE + FTP

I have three Django sites that I've been working on recently and I've been doing most of the development work in Dreamweaver. I don't use any of the wysiwyg features (or, pretty much, any of the Dreamweaver program features), but I like it because I can do all the the code edits and the FTP

Storing *big* texts in db fields

I've created an application to manage texts, storing the content in a TextField, along with metadata in other fields. Now that I've completed the model and started actually adding the texts, the admin is getting vey slow. The app is just for the use of me and my team, so the slowness is not a

Can I store full dates (mmddyyyy) and year-only dates (yyyy) in the same field?

Hello, I'm designing a model which is a collection of texts. Some of the texts will be things like books, with a date of publication, and some of them will be articles or transcripts with a mmddyyy date of publication/broadcast. I'd like to structure it somehow so that when I view the list
