There's a setting built into South which does this:
SOUTH_TESTS_MIGRATE

Hey Tom, that's very kind of you, so helpful and fast!

I'll use that in my real scenario (which is a bit more complicated).
I'll be back here soon, reporting success :-) or asking for more help!

It works like a charm! Thanks again Tom.

Where is redirect uri set? (Using Django on Heroku with django-la-facebook)

[Riku]

Hi!

I'm using Django with Heroku and django-la-facebook (https://
github.com/cartwheelweb/django-la-facebook)

I'm having trouble allowing Facebook authentication, but I actually
don't think my problem is very difficult.

When I try to sign-in with facebook, it throws me to the following
uri:

https://graph.facebook.com/oauth/authorizeredirect_uri=http%3A%2F%2Fexample.com%2Fla_facebook%2Fcallback&display=page&client_id=126197457491070

That redirect uri there is obviously not correct, but I can't find
where to set it? Would anyone have any idea? In my Django code,
Facebook or ?

Thanks for any help. That page gives me the following error:

{
   "error": {
  "message": "Invalid redirect_uri: Given URL is not permitted by
the application configuration.",
  "type": "OAuthException"
   }
}

Thanks a lot!

Re: post_save problem

[akshar raaj]

Hi,

Let's assume your first model on which you want to have post_save be
User(django.contrib.auth.models.User). Say, you want to alter the data
of some other model whenever a User is saved i.e post_save for User.
Let's say this model as "MyModel". The code which you want to run on
post_save goes in a file, let's say "code_on_post_save.py". Let's name
the function which contains this code as "post_save_function". So, the
content of code_on_post_save.py becomes as follows

def post_save_function(sender, **kwargs):
abc = MyModel.objects.get(somefield='def')
abc.someotherfield = 'pqr'
.
.
abc.save()
..

Now you need to "connect" this code with your "User" model so that it
runs on "post_save" for the User. This can be done in any of your
views. Let's assume that as "views.py" of your app X.

So, in views.py you need to add this code. (You can have this code in
addition to whatever you normally have in your views.py)

from code_on_post_save import post_save_function
from django.db.models.signals import post_save
from django.contrib.auth.models import User

post_save.connect(post_save_function, sender=User)

I hope this suffice.

Thanks,
Akshar
So, in any of your other view, you need to

Re: post_save problem

[Vitor Duarte Venâncio]

Thank you very much for the answer, but I'm still having issues.

I've declared the funcion on the class that will be monitored for changing,
let's say, MyModelA. And then, in the view that controls the changes for
objects of the model I want to change, in this case MyModelB, I've used the
post_save.connect, just as you told me to.

But whe I try to do any sanity checks (i.e print('test')) in the
post_save_function, I end up with nothing. I don't get any error messages,
but the function is just not being called when I issue a save for MyModelA.

I've tried relocating the connect code in the views.py archive, but nothing
seems to make it work. How can I proceed?

Django - ValidationError on saving a model instance containing DateField

[luke lukes]

hi everyone. I'm working on this view: http://dpaste.com/661995/ and i
have a ValidationError while trying to save the model instance. the
error is 'Enter a valid date in -MM-DD format'. the datefield is
correctly filled, the type of instance passed to model is unicode. I
have to do something like a cast from unicode to datetime or there's
something i'm doing wrong before...?

this is the traceback: http://dpaste.com/661996/

any idea? thanx

Error in running the django server

[Mauro]

Hello,

I'm trying to run the django server on my mac book pro 2011 with osx
lion but I get an error.

I'm using the mamp mysql database and I've already configured it
inside the setting file.

When I try to run the command:
python manage.py runserver

I got this error:

I think the error is from the mysql-python requirments.

But I've already installed it using easy_install.

Maybe there is some problem with the mamp database?

 Easy install is usually in C:\Python27\Scripts

 you can go there from within cmd.exe and run "easy_install.exe ipython"
  It should work.

 Tim,

 Okay I was able to get something to go there.

 At first I saw warnings so I wasn't sure but here are the images.

 http://madtrak.com/ipython1.png

 http://madtrak.com/ipython2.png

 Do you think I am in good shape with ipython?

 To perform the easy install of django would i execute: easy_install.exe
 django?

 And if so would that just overwrite what I have already installed, like
 would it be good to do it a second time even though I think it worked the
 first. Honestly, I'd probably leave it for now just wanted your thoughts on
 easy install.

 Thanks!

For the time being I just followed a third path, which is requesting
create privileges.

I could still imagine, that it would be a good idea for some users, if
the default test runner were able handle situations where one has no
create database privileges.

Re: Bulk import of data

[Petr Přikryl]

>>> import csv
>>> data = csv.reader(open('/path/to/csv', 'r'), delimiter=';')
>>> for row in data:
>>> category = Category.objects.get_or_create(name=row[0])
>>> sub_category = SubCategory.objects.get_or_create(name=row[1],

>>> product = Product.objects.get_or_create(name=row[2],
>>> defaults={'sub_category': sub_category})

There are few potential problems with the cvs as used here.

Firstly, the file should be opened in binary mode.  In Unix-based
systems, the binary mode is technically similar to text mode.
However, you may once observe problems when you move
the code to another environment (Windows).

Secondly, the opened file should always be closed -- especially
when building application (web) that may run for a long time.
You can do it like this:

...
f = open('/path/to/csv', 'rb')
data = csv.reader(f, delimiter=';')
for ...
...
f.close()

Or you can use the new Python construct "with".

Re: Installation of Django

[JJ Zolper]

Tim,

Does our system include a Python Interpreter?

"

The interpreter’s line-editing features usually aren’t very sophisticated.
On Unix, whoever installed the interpreter may have enabled support for the
GNU readline library, which adds more elaborate interactive editing and
history features. Perhaps the quickest check to see whether command line
editing is supported is typing Control-P to the first Python prompt you
get. If it beeps, you have command line editing; see Appendix *Interactive
Input Editing and History
Substitution*
for
an introduction to the keys. If nothing appears to happen, or if ^P is
echoed, command line editing isn’t available; you’ll only be able to use
backspace to remove characters from the current line.

"

 Easy install is usually in C:\Python27\Scripts

 you can go there from within cmd.exe and run "easy_install.exe
 ipython"  It should work.

Form wizard and dynamic choices

[brian mckinney]

I've been trying to implement a relatively simple django app, in which
I need to have a multistep form and a dynamically generated choice
field. I'm using Django 1.3 and the Form Wizard.

In step one of the form, I ask for a URL from the user, which I'd like
to use to dynamically generate the list of choices for a select field
on the subsequent form. I've distilled the problem down to this: I
can't figure how to get the result of a field from the first step of
the form and pass an extra keyword argument to the form as it is
getting constructed, so that I can generate the choices and render the
form.

Anyone have any insight?

Doesn't display any comments

[Tsung-Hsien]

I use comment of Django applicaition, and the comment page looks
anything good, but when I post the comment, there is no comment
displayed on the page without any problem showing.

the template code:

Comments
{% get_comment_count for bookmarks.sharedbookmark
shared_bookmark.id as comment_count %}
{% get_comment_list for bookmarks.sharedbookmark
shared_bookmark.id as comment_list %}
{% for comment in comment_list %}

Posted by: {{ comment.user_name }} on
{{ comment.submit_date }}
{{ comment.comment|escape|urlizetrunc:40|
linebreaks }}

{% endfor%}
Number of comments: {{ comment_count }}
{% render_comment_form for bookmarks.sharedbookmark
shared_bookmark.id %}

view.py:

def bookmark_page(request, bookmark_id):
shared_bookmark = get_object_or_404(SharedBookmark,
id=bookmark_id)
variables = RequestContext(request, {
'shared_bookmark' : shared_bookmark
})
return render_to_response('bookmark_page.html', variables)

form.html:
{% if user.is_authenticated %}

{% csrf_token %}
Post a comment:






{% else %}
Please log in to post comments.
{% endif %}

I tried replace shared_bookmark.id with
object_pk,causing the page can't display the comment form.

How to fix this?
Thanks!
