Problems with Primary Key when I've copied a DB

2008-01-31 Thread MattW
Dear All, I've copied a MySQL db (using mysqldump) and then loaded it into a new DB. I've also altered the structure slightly (I've added 6 columns). However, the problem is that when I try and use the db to add more data, the primary key starts from 0 again. Since the number for the first

Many to Many relations - DB errors

2007-05-01 Thread MattW
Dear All, I'm having problems with the Many-to-Many relations in my model. I've got a list of questions, each of which has a number of marks associated with it. The marks are in another table in the DB. I've modelled it as Many-to-Many because it seems that each question can have many marks,

Handling a page with multiple areas

2007-03-21 Thread MattW
Dear All, More of a design question than a technical query... I've got a page with multiple 'areas' - some static text, a wiki bit and a 'marking' bit (via a form). I'd like to be able to only allow people to enter a mark once, after which views of the page should say "Thanks for the feedback".

Thanks. That clears some stuff up, but not everything. The thing I'm still _really_ unclear on is how one adds a profile. So to go back to the code below: > > @login_required > > def viewprofile(request): > > uname = request.user.username > > try: > > profile =

2007-02-28 Thread MattW
Ok, I've got a new problem. I've set up the files as in the examples in the Django book. The @login_required decorator always sends the user to /accounts/ login. However, since this uses the same css as the other templates, I try and have it inheriting from them. The problem is that it then

Thanks for all the help - have got it working. I have to say that (IMHO) it doesn't seem the nicest way to do things...I'm sure there are reasons, I'm just saying it doesn't feel so nice. The change from dev to production seems like it might be a pain. As a note on docs - I was looking at the

Sorry, should have made it clear on my second post in response to Massimiliano. He suggested this, and so I altered the code so it now reads: def ansQuestion(request): q = get_object_or_404(Question) answer = request.POST["answer"] A Since (at least) two people have now suggested
