Authorization of static content

[Joakim Hove]

Hello,

I am using Django to create an album application. I was planning to
use djangos user system for authorization, however the final image
viewing will be like:

 

Where image.url should resolve to something like 
http://static-images.com/path/to/image.jpg

Here http://static-images.com is another apache virtual host which
only serves static content. However this scheme fails miserably when
it comes to authorization - anyone can completely bypass my django app
(with authorization) and point their browser to:

http://static-images.com/path/to/image.jpg

Any suggestions of how to combine django based authorization with
serving of static content? I am the owner of the box in question and
can modify the apache setup way beyond my competence.

Regards - Joakim Hove

Problem in returning the value.

[cuteangel]

this is the class from models.py-
class NatPar(models.Model):
@staticmethod
def handle_review(self):
try:
grammar=nltk.parse_cfg("""
S->VP NP
PP->P N
NP->Det N PP
VP->V Det
Det ->'me'|'the'
N->'review'|'DON'
V->'Give'
P->'of'
""")
sent=['Give','me','the','review','of','DON']
parser=nltk.ChartParser(grammar)
trees=parser.nbest_parse(sent)
for tree in trees:
print tree
tokens=find_all_NP(tree)
print tokens
return tokens
except:
return None



def find_all_NP(tree):
if  type(tree)==type('string'):
return None

if tree.node=='NP':
return '-'.join(tree.leaves())

return [npstr for npstr in [find_all_NP(node) for node in
tree[0:]] if npstr]


and calling function is like this-

response=NatPar.handle_review

return render_to_response('review1.html',
{'response':response})

and its displays template like this--



 so what's the problem in handle review..I already checked
the code on python shell n its working there.

You might want to look into this[1] for the http basic authentication.  I 
personally haven't used http basic auth with django, yet.  But the page looks 
to be a good starting pont.

try: response=NetPar.handle_review() 

What you're seeing a the function location in memory and not calling it to get 
the returned value.

Thank you;

that was a very good starting point - I will hopefully find a solution
from this.

An alternate solution is to use Django to perform the authorization,
but pass the serving of the image file to the web server. This
question has come up before, so here's a link to the previous thread -

RE: [] database i18n

[Henrik Genssen]

I feel, this should be something integrated into Django, too.

So far I am using transdb (but I am still sitting on Django 1.1).

advantage:
- all translations in one field as a dict so easy searchable, if icontains is 
all you want

disadvantages:
- all translations in one field as a dict, therefor finds other rows having a 
similar phrase (in other languages), too, as you must use icontains
- you can not use startswith or endswith
- no support for django-tagging

regards

Henrik

custom formfield submit

[Szabo, Patrick (LNG-VIE)]

Hi, 

 

I have a form that - of course - creates new entry in my database. 

I created the form out of a model except for 1 field. 

 

Now if i click submit only the values of the fields that are created out
of the form are stored in the DB - also not suprising

What i want to to is take the value of the custom field and add it to
the value of one of the fields that where generated from the model. 

 

How do i do that ?!

 

Kind regards

It takes about a month to get up to speed with vim, about a year to
become proficient and about three years to be fully comfortable. The
longer you use vim, the faster you get using it, and the more
productive you can be compared to users using mouse driven GUIs.
If you intend making a living out of knocking out 1's and 0's in a
specific order, it's wise to become fully acquainted with an editor
that is powerful and concise to use, and then never use anything but
that editor*.

Thanks!
I want improve some commands,

for example I'd like have a feedback on the monkey patch on fetch_command
for coverage command. What you think? It is usefull for use a command before
it load the applications and before the model validation.

thanks

Doesn't xsyncdb mimic the way syncdb already works or is there some difference 
that isn't apparent from the description?


Also, why not GZip instead of Zip for xloaddata, or are you planning to add 
the support for gzip/bzip later?  (I don't really think of zip as a 
compression tool as much as an archiving tool similar to tar, though I know 
zip supports compression).

and how does xshell differentiate from shell if you have ipython installed 
already?


These are the main questions I have glancing over them. But great work.

How to skip some translation in trans block?

[galago]

I need to skip translating some content from the string in template.
I want to make something like this:

I pass the tag variable to the temaplte. Then I want to make a string: Tag: 
tag_variable. I need it to be in trans block, but only first word (Tag) must 
be translated. In other words - I need to skip translating the variable 
content and do translation only to string given directly in '..'

scripted login to django

I want to automate a remote django view which requires a login with a python 
script, but I am having difficulty in deciding how to make django accept the 
various cookies. Is there example code somewhere which shows how this should be 
done?


I've tried various cookie jar based approaches, but they don't seem to work. The

Re: Cool and useful development commands :-)

[Simone Federici]

Oh yes actually xsyncdb is just the syncdb taken from 1.3alpha. I'm
developing with 1.2.5 but try to take the good stuff from the trunk and in
1.3 is possible use an hidden  load_initial_data paramenter :-)

xloaddata is a more verbosing loaddata,often, in developing, some changes
may send wrong the fixtures. xloaddata tell you which is last good fixture
loaded before the erroe. (is just a print of obj)

xshell instead is a shortcut that load automatically all models of your
applications. With xshell you don't need to import from the shell your
models.

For the utility "scan templates" for obvious XSS mistakes,
it colud be a good tool, but I need your help to add this feature. I have
before to understand what you intend for obvious.

Thanks for your feedback

Have your tried urllib2.Request[1] to POST your login data, how a browser 
would do it?  

something like this:

Assuming login form:

class LoginForm(forms.Form):
username = forms.CharField()
   password = forms.CharField()


# your client script

post_data = {
'username': 'me',
   'password': 'pass',
}

As Mike points out, you're not actually calling the function.

However, when you do, you'll have another problem. Staticmethods don't take 
the `self` parameter, so you'll need to remove that.

What's the difference between MEDIA_ROOT and STATIC_ROOT?

[King]

In the Note under this section
http://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/howto/static-files/#s-using-django-contrib-staticfiles
, it mentions that "In previous versions of Django, it was common to
place static assets in MEDIA_ROOT along with user-uploaded files, and
serve them both at MEDIA_URL. " and that "staticfiles does not deal
with user-uploaded files at all."

Does this mean that you use STATIC_ROOT for all your static files
(CSS, JS, images), and MEDIA_ROOT just for user-uploaded files?

It's confusing because in the Django code I've looked at, I've only
seen people use the MEDIA_ROOT, and it's often used to store the CSS,
JS and Images (the same files that the documentation seems to be
suggesting that STATIC_ROOT should be used for).

Admin-enabled glossary

[yuri2k]

I need to find a way to use a glossary (sort of like
https://github.com/kcunning/django-glossary) but that can be called
when you insert a new entry elsewhere on the data structure (i.e., any
page with text). The ideal would be to use a tag system to make this
insertion simple, but ultimately, an html link with a specific class
will do. The objective is to then have them displayed on the front end
as tooltips or something similar. Any clues appreciated.

Using constants for named URLs

[zvikico]

Hello,

When defining URLs, I prefer named URLs. I like to define these names as 
constants, so I can use the contants in other files. Probably an 
old habit from my days as a Java developer, but I still think it is better 
than using the string all over the place. Here's an example:

URL_USER_REGISTER = 'user-register'
URL_USER_ACCOUNT = 'user-account'

urlpatterns = patterns('',
   url(r'^register/$', views.register, name = URL_USER_REGISTER),
   url(r'^accounts/$', views.account, name = URL_USER_ACCOUNT),
)

Then, I can use urls. URL_USER_ACCOUNT for redirecting in my view code. 

Note that I'm using the view function directly in the url() function, rather 
than specifying a view name. That's because I like the extra layer of error 
checking: a missing view function can easily be detected by my IDE.

The problem: I'm getting a circular import here. I cannot import the urls 
from the views and the views from the urls. 
Considering that I want to keep the above two practices (constants and 
passing view functions), is there a solution for that?
I can take the constants to a separate module, but that seems like an 
overkill. Any suggestions?

Thanks,
Zviki

I like eric5 for this, it's python 3.x though. But great collabrotive tools 
involved, including a chat server and issue tracker. 

Gobby is another, but his is more general purpose than coding.


I've also seen screen + [vi|emacs|nano] for collaboritve coding on the server 
side.


As for etherpad nope, never have bothered, never heard of it till now ftr.

Re: What's the difference between MEDIA_ROOT and STATIC_ROOT?

[Xavier Ordoquy]

Hi,

As the documentation said, in the previous version, it was common to place both 
in the MEDIA_ROOT (unless you used 3rd party application to avoid that).
So as long as the code has not been ported to 1.3, you'll probably see that 
again and often.

Xavier.

Static files appear to be for apps as part of large projects. 

from the docs[1]:
For small projects, this isn’t a big deal, because you can just keep the 
static files somewhere your web server can find it. However, in bigger projects 
– especially those comprised of multiple apps – dealing with the multiple sets 
of static files provided by each application starts to get tricky. 


also from settings.py

# Absolute path to the directory static files should be collected to.
# Don't put anything in this directory yourself; store your static files
# in apps' "static/" subdirectories and in STATICFILES_DIRS.
# Example: "/home/media/media.lawrence.com/static/"
STATIC_ROOT = ''

STATICFILES_DIRS = (
# Put strings here, like "/home/html/static" or "C:/www/django/static".
# Always use forward slashes, even on Windows.
# Don't forget to use absolute paths, not relative paths.
)

# List of finder classes that know how to find static files in
# various locations.
STATICFILES_FINDERS = (
'django.contrib.staticfiles.finders.FileSystemFinder',
'django.contrib.staticfiles.finders.AppDirectoriesFinder',
#'django.contrib.staticfiles.finders.DefaultStorageFinder',
)

Essentially, I think this is a "You'll know when you need it." type setting.

Re: Cool and useful development commands :-)

[Simone Federici]

Maybe you could write a filter "urlsafe" to use into templates so that
variable does not contains javascript.
And you could create a command that scan templates and raise an alert every
variable inside an href attribute that is not "urlsafe".

But I believe that a tool is used to work, not to do the work for me. And
Django is a tool.
It's like the java paradox,  java is a language that hidden a lot of
problems, and try to resolve them without the programmers. Result: you
cannot trust a java programmer, because often he doesn't know what the code
really does.

For this reason, I see that this kind of problems are better if you leave
resolve by developers. The better solution is to document better the
problem.

I think it is out of the scope of djangodevtools.
In other words, djangodevtools not is a library to development, but is a
library to help the development process itself.

Using markdown within admin interface

[Jonas Geiregat]

Hello,

I love markdown for writing content on websites. I use it almost all the time 
when I'm working with django.

The only issue I hate is that the default django admin interface gives you a 
standard textfield. 
There's nothing wrong with that but when you're pasting some code on let's say 
a blog you need to prepend each line of code with 4 spaces (or a tab).
You can imagine that if you have several lines of code this is frustrating. 

So my question is, how do you come around this issue or are there any decent 
editors that work well with markup ?

Regards,

Jonas.

tinymce is the antithesis of markdown.

OP: Investigate browser based solutions, that allow you to embed/hook
a proper editor into a textbox, eg:

http://vimperator.mozdev.org/

I like markdown too. I found an wysiwym editor for it:

It is pretty simple to attach it on the admin interface.

Re: Querysets: returning a single item with the greatest id.

[christian.posta]

Does latest()[0] work exactly as the original poster was looking for?
latest() works based on a date field, not the pk field (which *could*
return a result different than expected).

Tom's approach, explicitly ordering by pk, would work exactly as
desired.

All good points.

I would caution, however, that not every *nix production environment
has vim.  (Less and less true, but I still see them.)

They will, however, have vi.  (And the ones that have vim typically have
vi as an alias.)  If you can use vi, you can get by in vim.  But some of
the vim features you learn aren't there, you could be frustrated.  So, if
you are just learning vi[m] to make quick edits on your production boxes,
and you're not using it for anything else because you already have a
different favorite editor, I'd advise you to limit your self to the vi command
set, until it becomes habit to, for example, reach for the 'j' key rather than
the down arrow when you want to go to the next line (if you were in insert
mode, you obviously need to get out of it before using 'j').

[And few productions systems have emacs, my favorite, installed.  For the
dyed in the wool emacs user, look at the tramp extension, though I haven't
found it totally satisfying.  If your production box does have emacs, consider
ssh's -Y flag, to get emacs to pop up a window on your desktop, rather than
running inside the terminal.  This requires at least the X client libraries on
the production box, and, due to bad packaging, sometimes requires X
server libraries, even though there is no display, and thus no need (or
ability) to run an X server.  There's also NX, but ssh -Y is so easy to set
up.]

Ordering in complex queries

[Akshit Khurana]

I want to search from database and return objects in order (soft_name,
category and subcategory are fields of a model)
1st if soft_name has query
then if category has query
and then if subcategory has query

I've written this:

query = request.GET.get('q','')
if query:
 qset = (
Q(soft_name__icontains=query) |
 Q(category__icontains=query) |
 Q(subcategory__icontains=query) |
)
 results = Software.objects.filter(qset).distinct()

But this returns mixed results (not in required order)

Is it possible to obtain results in order without writing 3 queries and
joining the resultant lists?

Thanks
Akshit

Some idea?. Another question. My database use something of sql .
Normally when I build the empty database, I insert this query :
'Create language plpgsql'. After  I do :python manage.py syncdb.

But in a test a new database is automatically created. How can I run a
test over an empty database but already created.

Thanks for read and sorry for my poor english.

Eurgh, vi. I'm a FreeBSD man, so all boxes come with nvi, which is a
little more featured than plain old vi, but still more than unusable.
I *can* use vi, just like I *can* write C, fortunately 99.99% of the
time, I don't have to. In these days of TB disks, and GB of RAM, using
vi over vim seems sadistic to me, and so it gets installed on all
boxes as part of our basic package set.

Aargh, we're mortal enemies - I guess Eight Megs And Constantly
Swapping is no longer an insult I can use :)

This is where the pragmatic programmer rule comes in - tried emacs
once, didn't like it. Saw someone using vim like a wizard - code
magically appearing at a faster rate than any human can type, all
beautifully formatted and syntax highlighted - and was hooked.

>From that point, 3 months of daily use till I wasn't repeatedly

The last time I used a machine with fewer than 8Mb of RAM, emacs
was nowhere near that big.  Besides, what are you running all those
other processes for?  Emacs does it all.

I've got to confess, it did take me a while to switch to emacs from teco.
(Of course, at the time emacs was implemented in teco.)

Comparing two annotations

[Patrick]

Hi,

i am trying to compare two count-annotations with a simple "greater-
than" filter like this:
ResultSequence.objects.annotate(num_result=Count('resultset'),num_part=Count('seminar__participant')).filter(num_result__gt=num_part)
i also tried doing it like this:
ResultSequence.objects.annotate(num_result=Count('resultset')).annotate(num_part=Count('seminar__participant')).filter(num_result__gt=num_part)
both ways return "NameError: name 'num_part' is not defined"

it seems to be working nicely when i manually set the last parameter:
ResultSequence.objects.annotate(num_result=Count('resultset'),num_part=Count('seminar__participant')).filter(num_result__gt=15)

i dont know if i misunderstand the whole concept of "annotate" or if
this is just impossible to do..

thanks in advance
patrick

django cache (memcache) items are not readable between processes

[dcoy]

Hi,
I have problems using the django cache. The cached items are not
readable between processes it seems... ?

Testing on the production server using two ssh sessions in parallel,
and setting the cache in one and reading in the other using the
memcache backend.
I ran them each one line at a time, and this was the result:
(session 1)
>>> from django.core.cache import cache
>>> cache.set('foo','bar')
>>> cache.get('foo')
'bar'

(session 2)
>>> from django.core.cache import cache
>>> cache.get('foo', 0)
0
>>> cache.get('foo', 0)
0

Is this a memcache problem or a django problem?

I use the low level cache api to cache the processed results of an
uploaded file. The user then complete some more steps that describe
the uploaded data at which point it's entered in the db. This is done
asynchronously using apache2 with one thread per process, mod_wsgi and
python 2.5. The problem I ran in to was that the "cache.get('key')"
always returns None when I test and upload a file.

Thanks

Re: Querysets: returning a single item with the greatest id.

[delegbede]

He is expecting to fetch a single term. I think that's what get() does if the 
particular I'd is known and you would have written your code as this:
Foo.objects.get(id=1000)
However, if you don't know like I'm presuming, you do:
Foo.objects.all().order_by('-pk')[0]

The problem is not the annotations, but any time you need to use a field 
value on the right-hand side. See the documentation on this:
http://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.2/topics/db/queries/#filters-can-reference-fields-on-the-model

Problems with Admin site displaying table records

[wilbur]

Hello,

I am using Django version 1.2.4 on Ubuntu 10.04. When I try to click
on an individual database table record in the Django Administration
interface (for editing, for example), I get the following error:


TemplateSyntaxError at /admin/iom_catalog/sample/610/
Caught TypeError while rendering: coercing to Unicode: need string or
buffer, int found

The error is located on line 19 of the fieldset.html administration
template:

17  {{ field.contents }}
18  {% else %}
19  {{ field.field }}
20  {% endif %}
21  {% endif %}

The table I am querying is set to return a fieldname that is defined
as varchar... ex.

class Sample(models.Model):
sample_name = models.CharField(max_length=100)
location = models.CharField(max_length=100,blank=True,null=True)
country = models.CharField(max_length=50,blank=True,null=True)
"other fieldnames defined".
def __unicode__(self):
 #return unicode(self.sample_name)
 return self.sample_name

Could it be that the error refers to one of the fields rendered in the
individual record edit page instead. If so, how do I find out which
one?

Thanks, Bill

Re: How do I authenticate a urllib2 script in order to access HTTPS web services from a Django site?

[carl]

It turns out I needed to set the HTTP Referer header to the login page
url in the request where I post the login information.

req.add_header( 'Referer', login_url )

The reason is explained on the Django CSRF documentation -
specifically, step 4.

Due to our somewhat peculiar server setup where we use HTTPS on the
production side and DEBUG=False, I wasn't seeing the csrf_failure
reason for failure (in this case: 'Referer checking failed - no
referer') that is normally output in the DEBUG info. I ended up
printing that failure reason to the Apache error_log and STFW'd on it.
That lead me to code.djangoproject/.../csrf.py and the Referer header
fix.

Thanks to anyone who gave this a read!

Problem with unicode in form posts

[Lee Hinde]

I had this view function snippet:

   e = Account.objects.create(
user_name = data.get('username'),
password = data.get('password'),
email = data.get('email'),
subscription_number = data.get('subscription_id'),
retrieved = False,
plan  = '60',

)

all was well.

Then the client said, oh, and we need to make sure we don't accept the
same subscription_id more than once.

Ok.

  try:
obj, created =
Account.objects.get_or_create(subscription_number = sub_id)
if created:
obj.user_name = data.get('username'),
obj.password = data.get('password'),
obj.email = data.get('email'),
obj.retrieved = False,
obj.plan  = '60',

obj.save()


Works great.

Except, now the data that's in the database for the username field
goes from looking like this:
leehinde
to this
(u'leehinde',)

I'd like it to be 'leehinde' again
so, clearly objects.create is more clever than my pure post. But I'm
not sure where in the food chain I should be interceding..

label_tag in queryset

[geraldcor]

Hello all,

When rendering a list of data for a particular model instance, I am
wondering how to access the label_tag attribute for a field when not
using a form.

In my view I get a model instance and pass the object in my context

inspection = inspection.objects.get(pk=3)

Then in my template I want to be able to do the following:

{{ inspection.requester.label_tag }} {{ inspection.requester }}
...

But it seems you can only access label_tag when you are rendering a
form. Any way to do this with a queryset?

Greg

Problems with permissions in the admin panel.

[Adam Tonks]

Hello,

I'm having some fustrating problems with setting permissions for a
user within the django administration panel.  I create a new user, set
it as staff, and assign it permissions.  The problem is, when I login
as them, I get the "You don't have permission to edit anything."
error.

I have also tried assigning the user permissions via the groups
method, with no success. It is possible to make them a superuser, but
I'd like to be able to narrow down the user's permissions.

What I've tried/discovered so far:
 - admin.autodiscover() is in the urls.py file
 - deleting and recreating the database does nothing
 - commenting out the applications admin.py file does nothing
 - the project I made originally following the django tutorial allows
me to assign permissions fine, which means it's something to do with
my project

I'm looking for help from anyone who can point me to where I could
have broken the system, and where to look for me to be able to fix it.
I've been stuck on this a good few days now, and I'm not getting
anywhere.

Let me know what extra information would be useful.

Thanks for your help.

The actual permissions you're assigning the users. 

But just make sure that the user in questions has the `app|model|can change 
model` option selected.

I just tested this out assigning the user the just "can change" permission and 
was able to to change only the app|model in question and removed that and 
added the "can add" permission to the same model, worked as expected. using 
django 1.3 alpha.

In this case you're going to want to do it manually, i.e.:

Requester {{ inspection.requester }}

make sure to reference the model field you want as the label if 'Requester' 
isn't it.

I could not reproduce this with (note: both return values work as expected). I 
did get something when __unicode__() did not return a value (typo). But that's 
expected.:

class ArticleCategory(models.Model):
  title = models.CharField(max_length=50,  unique=True)
  description = models.TextField()
  slug = models.SlugField(editable=False)

  def __unicode__(self):
#return u'%s' %(self.title)
return self.title

using django 1.3 alpha  (current trunk)

ftr, you might want to update to django 1.2.5 there is a security release [1], 
it's in the ubuntu repos. But this shouldn't affect your issue.

That sounds like a good idea  -- "urlsafe".  There already is urlize.
However, it doesn't work for all urls. I was thinking about using
xpath to evaluate the use of variables in 'interesting' places
(attributes) and then checking if the attribute is quoted or not. I
think someone with more django template knowledge can think of a
better way.

I also reported http://code.djangoproject.com/ticket/15365
so now it might be worthwhile searching for markup use in templates.

The best python html sanitization I have so far seen is from from
lxml.html.clean[0]. However it seems to be very much on the too
'strong' side.

Not sure what you mean by this. Do you just mean manually change 'Requester'
to whatever I want, or that I really can reference the model field to get
the label?

I'm not sure what's going on, but I would start with data.get() and verify the 
contents and step through that process slowly, verifying the right data before 
and after the creation, the assignment and save of the obj, with 
get_or_create() (lots of logging/print statements if not using a debugger).  

It should be fine as is though, according to the django docs.

just pushing this here for dave to see, I forget that when emails are

I agree here.

Think of this more of a pylint type tool that helps developers by issuing 
warnings when scanned over the code/template, not changing code for the 
developer.  In this mindset, I can see it being perfect for djangodevtools.  
It still leaves the decision to change it or accept it up to the developers 
and won't hurt running code. 

As pointed out in the previous thread, a lot of developers. Especially new 
developers who think you can just put together some html, some database code 
and come up with a website that's on par with a professionally built one. Also 
at times when it's late in the day, experienced developers are not above 
making simple mistakes. This would help both situations.

Re: Django Code Generator

[Brice Leroy]

The login is really just so you can manage a bunch of project and easily
come back (as most project often take more than a day to grow). It also
provide some privacy (not everybody wants his project to be publicly
available).

I'd also like to be able to make some project public so they can be "fork"
by other users.

... lots of idea, no so much time :-(

Problems with serving static files

[Roy Smith]

I'm running r15624, OSX-10.6.5, Python-2.6.1

# Serve static
files
(r'^static/(?P.*)$',
 'django.views.static.serve',
 {'document_root': '/Users/roy/dev/try.django/mysite/static',
  'show_indexes': True}),

static file:

Index of /

but when I click on the site.css link, I get a 404 ('site.css' could

admin list help

[Bobby Roberts]

hi group.  I really need to know how to do something in regard to my
models shown below.  Please consider these three models and then look
at the bottom for my question.

garments
class modela (models.Model):
id = models.AutoField (primary_key=True)
type = models.CharField (max_length=128, blank=False)
order_id = models.IntegerField (blank=False)
lastSave  = models.BigIntegerField (blank=True)

class modelaAdmin(admin.ModelAdmin):
list_display = ('id','type','order_id','lastSave')
search_fields = ['type','order_id','lastSave']
admin.site.register(modela,modelaAdmin)

orders
class modelb (models.Model):
id = models.AutoField (primary_key=True)
title = models.CharField (max_length=128, blank=False)
status = models.CharField(max_length=20, blank=False)
client_id = models.CharField(max_length=11, blank=False)
source = models.CharField (max_length=255, blank=False)

class modelbAdmin(admin.ModelAdmin):
list_display = ('id','title','status','client_id','source')
search_fields = ['title','status','client_id','source']
admin.site.register(modelb,modelbAdmin)


Customer
class modelc (models.Model):
id = models.CharField
(primary_key=True,max_length=10,blank=False)
firstName = models.CharField (max_length=128, blank=False)
lastName = models.CharField (max_length=128, blank=False)
phone = models.CharField (max_length=64, blank=False)
email = models.CharField (max_length=128, blank=False)
comments = models.TextField (blank=False)

class modelcAdmin(admin.ModelAdmin):
list_display =
('id','firstName','lastName','phone','email','comments')
search_fields =
['id','firstName','lastName','phone','email','comments']
admin.site.register(modelc,modelcAdmin)



I am looking to do two things:

1) in the admin list for modela, i would like to show the firstname
and lastname from modelc.

modela is tied to model by by modela.client_id=modelb.id  and modelb
is tied to modelc by modelb.client_id=modelc.id

In addition, I would like to be able to search modela by
modelc.firstname or modelc.lastname


2) in the list view for modela, I would like to show lastSave as a
date/time value. The integer value stored in lastSave is the integer
value of a date.


Are these two things possible to do... if so,  how do i do it?

Is there an official Django forum besides this mailing list?

[Kevin]

Hello everyone,

  I checked the Community link on the Django website and am unable to
locate a web-based forum, but only this mailing list.  There is a few
Django made forum apps which could be used for this purpose, and
integrated into the main website.  I find djangobb to work pretty
good, and am currently using it on a website.  I find that a forum is
much more organized and easier to follow than a mailing list.  Forums
can have separate sections, whereas mailing lists are flat.

Kevin.

Hi Kevin,

Sorry to disappoint, but no, there isn't an official Django forum. The
mailing lists (django-users and django-dev) and IRC rooms (#django and
#django-dev on freenode) are the official communication channels for
the project.

Personally, my reaction to forum sites is the exact opposite to yours.
I hate them with a passion, and find them to be a poor substitute for
any halfway decent mail client.

Yours,
Russ Magee %-)

Port mod_python.publisher and a Django svnclient

[Kevin]

Hello everyone,

  For those interested in the backwards compatibility of the
mod_python.publisher handler in Django, I have made my own version of
it.  This code has yet to be tested in a production environment.  Any
help on improving the code would be great.  You can find the
subversion code at:  http://django.kveroneau.info/svn/node1/publisher/trunk/ls

For a copy of the above subversion client built as a django app:
http://django.kveroneau.info/svn/node1/ajaxsite/trunk/svnclient/ls

  The subversion client is currently being used on two of my websites,
the above one and another website I have built.  It is overall, a very
simple subversion client which views the files of the latest
revision.  I plan on adding more features in the future.  Any help on
this project would also be great as well.

  Both the mod_python.publisher and subversion client are licensed
under the GPL.

  Subversion URL for the mod_python.publisher port:  
svn://zyrixhost.net/publisher/trunk
  Subversion URL for the Django subversion client:
svn://zyrixhost.net/ajaxsite/trunk/svnclient

Enjoy and any bugfixes or suggestions would be great!

Kevin.

AFAIK, no, stack overflow is a great site for Durango based help though.

Personally, I think of mailing lists exactly the same as forums, without all 
the fluff. Defining 'fluff' as user interaction goodies like voting for 
answers, 'rpg games' based on posting habits and the like.  IMO, forums tend 
to encourage idle conversation and doesn't always end up helping. A mailing 
list is much more concise and I don't need to refresh to see the answer, it 
comes right to my inbox, (I use pop3 access through gmail and get the email 
sent to me this way). I'm able to search it and grep through the emails easier 
than a forum also.  This is a personal opinion on forums and technical related 
topics. 

A forum is great for fan sites and other things and I have used djangobb on a 
site also. I know others have used forums for similar purposes as to a mailing 
list also. But doesn't mean I like it or agree. Forums also tend to attract 
the 'dumb' of the internet, those lacking a lot of common sense.

Now the google mailing list front end/search has a lot left to be desired and 
in some cases it takes me a minute to find something on the google-groups site 
even with the exact subject as the search item.  I also find this true on 
forums.

But I don't think there is a reason why you can't start one.

Re: Is there an official Django forum besides this mailing list?

[Kevin]

Thought I would ask.  Djangobb has a great half way feature of RSS
feeds for each forum section, which can be easily integrated into ones
Mail client or mobile smartphone feed reader.

A good example of what I mean by the RSS feeds can be found here:
http://support.djangobb.org/

In a since, a forum for django-users and another for django-dev would
spawn two RSS feeds from the forum.  Considering the nature of django,
a community project could be started to create a mailing-list/forum
hybrid.  People who prefer mailing lists can still Email a specialized
Email address, and their posts will appear in the correct forum
section.  People who prefer the forum approach can reply to those who
use the mailing list approach and vis versa.

This can all be done with a custom mailman type daemon in Python which
communicates to the Django models to insert posts and Email off
replies from the forum to those who use the mailing list counterpart.

Who ever is interesting in developing such a project with me, I have
some server resources and access to a subversion server to assist in
development efforts.  Just putting that out there.

Kevin.

Re: Django Code Generator

[Brice Leroy]

You can of course easily clone the site too as there is very few decencies 
(django registration and a "common" package from my repository). 

I thought that most of the user would find it more convenient to store their 
project online and hit download to get their source code as a tar.gz archive.

(the site doesn't host the source but generates it on demand at download)

Re: Collaborative text editor with Django

Hi Mike,
I think you miss read me. I mean an application to put in the website, not
for coding on desktop. A collaborative text editor within the site, some

Any ideas?

Sorry, in that case nope, not really. Just some things like cometd/orbited (or

A forum has a lower barrier for non-techies, and it offers fun
gimmicks.  Besides this, they are a nightmare to follow for any
non-trivial discussion.  Imagine to find related answers in a
conversation with 100+ postings.  Possibly you've used sub-optimal
clients to read mailing lists so far.

Tschö,
Torsten.
