__unicode__ and u'%s'?

[Victor Hooi]

heya,

What's the recommended best practice for printing model fields in 
__unicode__?

Currently, I'm using (simply because the Django docs do):

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

What's the rationale behind using the unicode literal u'%s'? Is it always 
needed, versus just return self.name?

And should I be using .format() instead? Or using something else?

Cheers,
Victor

[Ilian Iliev]

Hi,

just ensure that your files and DB connection are using Unicode and
return self.name will be enough.

Module or plugin architecture

[Tony]

Hello,

I am new to Django and I have a question about module or plugin
architecture.
Is it possible to write a module with Django and add it to a current
Django application.

Thank you very much.

Tony

Django Registration extra fields not getting saved

[Swaroop Shankar]

Hello All,
I had posted the same question in stackoverflow for which I didn't
received much response, so trying my luck here. Hope someone will have
a solution to my issue.
I am trying to extend the django registration module with additional
fields. I have created following files to extend the registration
form:
model.py: http://pastebin.com/U80C21Wy .
forms.py: http://pastebin.com/5dYHiL6C.
regbackend.py: http://pastebin.com/63WTzMQi
urls.py: http://pastebin.com/ZzaAcLtp
The username, password is getting saved, but the fields that i have
listed in the regbackend.py is not getting saved. I am not even sure
whether user_created model in that file is actually being called. I am
not getting any errors either. I been struggling with registration
form for the past few days. I hope someone here will again help me
with this issue. Thanks

`manage.py syncdb` fails, but what does the error mean?

[chrisbuchholz]

Hey,

I have this django 1.2 app, Snowy[1], that I try to get to run locally. But 
everytime I do `manage.py syncdb` I get this[2] error, but I have no idea 
what it means.

Snowy uses, by default django 1.2, python 2 and SQLite3, and at first, I 
thought it was because that django couldnt talk to SQLite3, but if I create 
a new django 1.2 app in a python 2 environment, it works fine, so that is 
not it.

I have no idea what the error means, and the Snowy devs haven't been able to 
help me out either. I hope some of you guys can.

[Martin J. Laubach]

  My guess would be that you named your project directory the same as one of 
your app directories, that causes all kind of weird import errors.

Re: best way to get started with Dajngo?

[william ratcliff]

I typically recommend that people get started by going through the tutorial.
 I also think that the Django book is a good read.   Afterwards, I would
recommend finding a project that you're interested in and starting it--there
are several other good books out there (for example on testing/debugging, I
also rather liked Pro Django), but until you start getting your hands dirty,
then the knowledge won't really be yoursI am assuming that you already
know python...If not, I rather liked "Beginning Python, from novice to
Professional" and have given it to beginners.   Some of my students liked
codingbat.com

Once you're working on a project, there are any number of blogs with helpful
hints and this list is rather helpful when you have specific questions.
Does anyone have the guidelines for how to ask a good question on the list?

Good luck,
William

Re: View decorator for common navigation elements?

[colinta]

This post is particularly well timed, since I have the exact same
question.  I'm excited to say the company has, after many years, been
convinced to stop working on our internal PHP framework and we chose
django as its replacement (in sad news, I was the main dev on that
framework, and poured my heart and many long nights into it.  but it's
PHP code, so good riddance)

One nifty thing it could do was "auto-prepare" elements on a page,
much in the style of "pull-style" frameworks that call hooks/callbacks
based on the *view*, rather than "pushing" data onto the page.  our
framework supported both styles, but django seems to be distinctly
"push" based.  So I miss being able to just add an
"autoprepareTopNav()" method to a parent controller class, and have it
automatically called whenever the top-nav element was outputted.

BUT, the "common elements" problem strikes me as one of those
"certainly this has been done before" problems, and I would love to
know what the accepted django-ic solution is.  My coworker, who is
more versed in django & python, wrote a context processor to fetch top-
nav and footer pages.  But since it's a CP, it gets called on *every*
page, not just those that need it.  _I'd_ rather it not execute except
on those pages that explicitly need that data.

I played with a view-decorator pattern that had view methods returning
*either* a response object or a (template, dict) tuple that could be
passed up the chain to include other view-method-like-decorators, and
they would add their data — in much the same way that Victor describes
here.

The benefit to that approach is that if you have *multiple* elements
that use *a common set* of data (for instance, on a site I'm working
on now we've got a category dropdown that appears in multiple places -
the top nav search, a search callout, and on the search results
page).  I should not fetch this category list multiple times, and
template tags would not alleviate that, unless I throw in some global
mechanism where I can look for the data.  Are class-based views the
logical solution?

Okay, so, a question does emerge.  I think template tags are the right
answer here.  How do I write three template tags that all use a common
set of data?

It depends basically on each concrete project, if there is implemented
a plugin mechanism or not. BTW, django provide some signals[1] and
middlwares [2] that can helps you to accomplish what you want. If you
don't have enough with this, always you can create a new app and
inherit from the classes of the existing app that you want to modify.

Your traceback shows you have a weird mixup of paths, both
/home/cb/.virtualenvs/snowy/ and /home/cb/Projects/snowy/
appear as locations of the snowy app.
Perhaps you created a virtualenv with a copy of the app
there but already have a global one?.

Also, is seems the app ships a copy of several third party
django apps (like south) inside their lib/ subdir.

Re: `manage.py syncdb` fails, but what does the error mean?

[christoffer.buchh...@gmail.com]

All right. I have now tried renaming my virtualenv to Snowyv, so no
mix-up would occur. That didn't solve the problem, the error is the
same.
I have not Snowy install globally. The only copy I have of Snowy, is
the one I have in /home/cb/Projects/snowy. I also use virtualenv
(/home/cb/.virtualenvs/snowy), so no mix-up should occur even if I
did, but I don't.

I can understand, from what've said, that some misunderstanding about
the directories and such, is what is going on, but I don't think this
is it, unfortunately.

Re: `manage.py syncdb` fails, but what does the error mean?

[christoffer.buchh...@gmail.com]

I was too quick there, because just after sending the last email, I
found the problem. It seemed, that the copy of South, that Snowy
bundles in /lib/south, was the culprit. When I deleted it, and
installed south in my virtualenv instead, things started working.

Thank you for your help!
