Comments framework and email address validation

2009-08-21 Thread dchandek
Hi, I just delved into the comments framework (Django 1.1) and have a question about the email address field. According to djang.contrib.comments.model the user_email field is not required since blank=True. I don't see anything in admin.py or forms.py that alters this, yet my comment form produc

One more: 4. django.test.TestCase effectively reloads initial_data fixtures with every test because it calls the flush command. --David --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group. To post

Testing framework observations

2008-08-26 Thread dchandek
After several iterations of running tests on an application (manage.py test myapp), I have these observations which are not really clear in the documentation: 1. All initial_data fixtures (not just those for the tested app) are always loaded into the test database. 2. Because there is no means to

OK, this is interesting: I didn't mention that I also has limit_choices_to set on the self-referential foreign key. When I remove limit_choices_to the problem goes away! My model is listed below. I had set limit_choices_to=PARENT_CHOICES on OrgUnit.parent. [start code] LIBRARY_ID = 1 SAP_ORG_UNIT

MultipleObjectsReturned with get() on 1.0-beta1 admin UI

2008-08-25 Thread dchandek
After upgrading from post-0.96 development version to 1.0-beta1, I now get a MultipleObjectsReturned when submitting a change via the Admin UI to an object, where the model has a many-to-one relationship with itself. From the Python interactive prompt I am not able to reproduce the error. Traceba

Re: Imports in other modules impact doctests

2008-06-04 Thread dchandek
An interesting variation I have encountered. I have custom managers for my model classes in models.py. If I add doctests to the custom manager methods, they run. But if I then add doctests to any model methods, none of the doctests in models.py run -- neither the doctests for the custom manager me

Permalink decorator and generic views, revisited

2007-03-12 Thread dchandek
I posted previously about how it seemed to me that, while the permalink decorator is useful in decoupling the get_absolute_url() methods of an application's models from the site/project, it more or less forces you to create dummy custom views where you would normally simply use generic views. Here

Permalink decorator and generic views

2007-03-08 Thread dchandek
I was happy to find the addition of the permalink decorator in the development version as a help in removing hardcoded paths from get_absolute_url() methods. Unfortunately, using it requires that you define a custom view (even if the custom view simply returns a generic view). Interestingly, you

Thanks, Brian and Ivan! The CAS example was helpful in figuring things out. Turns out the solution was simple, but the Django documentation was not as much help as I would have liked -- I guess because, again, the general assumption is that Django is going to handle the authentication credentials

Auto-login with REMOTE_USER

I've spent a few hours digging around, but can't seem to find a straightforward answer ... I have an Apache module that does user authentication and sets the REMOTE_USER variable with the user name. This is completely independent of Django and Python. I want Django to "trust" the REMOTE_USER val

http://www.djangoproject.com/documentation/model_api/#save-on-top This may affect other admin options ... but Django throws a syntax error when `save_on_top' is set before `fields'. The doc merely says that fields is required -- doesn't seem like the order should matter. --~--~-~--~
