Re: How to pass a GET param that contains multiple items

[euan.godd...@googlemail.com]

This is a standard encode/decode situation you are descibing. Django
automatically decodes the GET string the the browser encodes. If you
need spaces, then they wil be encoded and decoded appropriately, so
don't worry about that.

If you want to pass a list in the GET string, do:

url?var=1&var=2&var=3

Django will intepret this in it's multi-value dict implementation that
QueryDict uses. So if you do:

request.GET.getlist('var')

you will get:

['1', '2', '3']

Hope that helps, Euan

Re: update least syntax?

[euan.godd...@googlemail.com]

Django doesn't support the query type you're trying to do. You've
already discovered F which is about as complicated as it gets, bt the
update syntax is pretty much limited to setting a field's value to a
consant.

Looping over the minimum set of things and calling save on each one if
your only option without resorting to custom SQL.

Testing custom inclusion tag

[Julian]

Hi,

I've written a custom inclusion tag for a project of mine. The problem
is: how can i test it? I've got a TestCase which has some methods:

def get_tagcloud_template(self, argument):
return """{%% load taggit_extras %%}
  {%% include_tagcloud %s %%}
""" % argument

My approach for testing template-tags was:

def test_taglist_project(self):
t = Template(self.get_taglist_template(""))
c = Context({})
t.render(c)

and then I tested the members of `c`, for example

self.assertEquals(c.get('tags'), ['somelist'])

But the template-variables exist only in the scope of the included
template, not in the template that contains the include-statement. How
do I test if everything's working? Do I have to read the file that
contains the include-statement and render it?

Thanks, this fixes those problems.  Unfortunately, however, it also
introduces a new error. When I try and start the app,  I now get:

ImproperlyConfigured at /admin/
'TaxAgreementAdmin.fieldsets[6][1]['fields']' can't include the
ManyToManyField field 'groupings' because 'groupings' manually
specifies a 'through' model.

I need to be able to use the "many to many" box in order to create the
associations...

Thanks

As a follow-up, I see from the docs that the many to many widget
_cannot_ be used in a case where "through" is specified, because the
assumption is that extra fields will be added to the join model.  This
is _not_ the case for me, so this implies I should not have to use the
"through" option to solve my original problem.

[Sidebar:  Interestingly, it has been suggested that it _could_, in
future, be possible to do this...  (see
http://www.mail-archive.com/django-upda...@googlegroups.com/msg45249.html):

"The fancy solution would be to loosen this condition slightly and
allow an m2m field to be in the fields list (and therefore allow an
m2m widget be used) *iff* the through model is just 2 foreign keys
with a unique_together pairing (i.e., if the through model is exactly
the same as the m2m model that is be automatically generated for the
non-explicit through case)."]

cant get contact_form to send an email, fails silently every time

[shofty]

all,

im really struggling with django contact_form
http://bitbucket.org/ubernostrum/django-contact-form/overview/

it doesn't send the email. i've stepped through it locally and it hits
all the right lines of code. obviously it won't send it locally. but
on the server, it should send however it never actually does. i get
the success url page shown as if its sent ok.

has anyone on here got it to work on webfaction? ive checked my
settings with their support team, verified that its breaking down
inside the save method on the ContactForm model. basically, if i
replace the form.save with a send_mail then it will send a mail to an
address at that point, but once it goes into the models save and does
the whole build of the email it doesn;t send anything. and with it
being on server im not sure what i can do to troubleshoot it. which is
why i can't even supply an error message for this!!!

so i could use some suggestions on how to work this one through
please...

Matt

Hi all,
I have a problem with django 1.2:

and this request.POST:


I believe it's a probleme related to django new securitiy system

Re: update least syntax?

[Doug Warren]

Just to be sure though, I don't need to call save on the instances
unless I need to emit the save events right?  Reading the manual:
Be aware that the update()  method is converted directly to an SQL
statement. It is a bulk operation for direct updates. It doesn't run
any save() methods on your models, or emit the pre_save or post_save
signals (which are a consequence of calling save()). If you want to
save every item in a QuerySet  and make sure that the save()  method
is called on each instance, you don't need any special function to
handle that. Just loop over them and call save():

It implies that it's running the UPDATE SQL command directly so the
data is getting changed regardless of if I invoke save() myself.
Correct?

Why you just got spam filtered:


Apparently, this message wasn't spam filtered because you were able to 
read it, as was I.



1) Posting in HTML


Gmail encourages it. It's not the end of the world.


2) No name
3) No phone number
4) No company email address


Where is your contact information then? Is this is a case of "do as I 
say but not as I do" or are you afraid that your blatherings would be 
indexed and come back to haunt you later?


While I would think that a recruiting firm would want this information 
indexed, there may be a legitimate reason for a recruiter not to want 
this information archived and indexed, too. It's also possible that the 
poster isn't particularly tech-savvy and doesn't understand the 
importance of providing this information so rather than give the 
original poster a tongue lashing, it would have been more appropriate to 
inform him or her (nicely) that providing full contact information would 
be in their best interests.



5) Massive OverUse Of CapitalIZation


"Massive"? You're being awfully picky! NYC - New York City, FTE - Full 
Time Employee. Both are commonly used acronyms.



6) Concealed URL


The hosted talent portal that the recruiting firm uses has ugly and long 
URLs. It's understandable that they might want to shorten it.



7) Nonsensical spraying of Java terms you don't understand in a post
to python devs.


How can you tell that it's "nonsensical" and that the poster doesn't 
understand them? What if this is what the client wants and needs? The 
only nonsense I read was your response.



Not bad for two lines.


I could say the same thing about your inane response.


Please go away now.


This is rude, completely uncalled for, and unacceptable to me (and I 
suspect for many others). The way you wrote this, it sounds like you're 
speaking on behalf of others and you can rest assured that you don't 
speak on my behalf at least.


I've noticed this a couple of times in the last few weeks where someone 
posts a job ad here and some crank immediately responds inappropriately. 
Those who seem to feel the need to verbally lynch people for posting job 
offers here need to look within themselves to understand why they react 
in such a negative fashion.

How to access help_text attribute of model field

[Sells, Fred]

I would like to access the help_text attribute of my model fields when
responding with XML like this

 

class A(MDSSection):

A0100A= models.CharField(max_length=10, help_text='''National
Provider Identifier (NPI)''') 

A0100B= models.CharField(max_length=12, help_text='''CMS
Certification Number (CCN)''') 

A0100C= models.CharField(max_length=15, help_text='''State
provider number''') 

 

And I want to render xml similar to this



   

   ...



 

 

I'm nut using Django forms but responding to Flex with XML.  There must
be some way to access this information, but I've been through the docus
and google with no luck.

 

Does anyone know how to access the help_text of the fields, once I have
the model instance object?

 

Thanks,

Fred.

MyModel._meta.get_field_by_name('fieldname')[0].help_text

Although I must say that the examples you give look like they would be
better as verbose_name, rather than help_text.

I have had that happen a long time ago. I think my problem was that apache didn't gave permission to the CSS. I know that's not much to go on. But, maybe it will help. 

Or it can be lack of an alias in the apache2 config.

Thanks; that's a life saver :)

I don't intend to use these names as column names but as content of a column, 
used for debugging as much as anything else. I'm new to Django, so I had not 
thought of verbose name.  I really had not anticipated using the help_text at 
all when I defined my models, but a situation came up where I needed to do a

Name --- value  description type of table.

is there an advantage of verbosename over helptext in my scenario?

debugging CSRF trouble

[John Griessen]

I'm using a package django-page-cms that uses CSRF and can't
follow the docs for CSRF for django 1.2.

They say I should add these lines to MIDDLEWARE_CLASSES,

'django.middleware.csrf.CsrfViewMiddleware'
'django.middleware.csrf.CsrfResponseMiddleware'

but when I do, I get an error:

File 
"/var/web/industromatic.com_bld/parts/django/django/core/handlers/base.py", 
line 42, in load_middleware
raise exceptions.ImproperlyConfigured('Error importing middleware %s: "%s"' 
% (mw_module, e))
ImproperlyConfigured: Error importing middleware 
django.middleware.csrf.CsrfViewMiddlewaredjango.middleware.csrf:
"No module named CsrfViewMiddlewaredjango.middleware.csrf"

The funny thing is the above path seems good, and in with that same
django source is the file with the module.  The error reports the name all
run together several times.  Any ideas what is happening?

settings with   MIDDLEWARE_CLASSES that cause error:  http://dpaste.com/217074/
error traceback:  http://dpaste.com/217075/

There needs to be a comma on the end of the first line. Without it Python
concatenates the two strings into a single one.

Free (legal) jQuery book, from Novice to Ninja for 24 hours.

[Shawn Milochik]

Yes, this is slightly off-topic, but all the Django developers I know use 
jQuery in their projects.

The publisher is giving away the e-book as promotional stunt related to the 
World Cup.

http://sale.sitepoint.com/

The download includes PDF, .mobi, and .epub versions!

having the book in my Amazon shopping cart and no longer having to pay for it.

A simple use-case for adding Celery to a Django project without RabbitMQ.

[Shawn Milochik]

Here's a little blog post I just wrote. It provides instructions for what I 
think is the simplest possible way to add Celery to your Django project.

Feedback (including critical) is always welcome.
