Re: Users getting logged out frequently

[Kevin]

Which backend is storing the session data?  If session data is being
stored in the cache(which is normally the recommended way), what
caching backend are you using?  If you are using locmem cache backend,
this might be your problem, change the cache backend to something more
stable for production.

Do you have other Django projects you manage?  If so, is this the only
project seeing this type of problem, or are other projects also having
issues like this as well?

There are many variables in what could cause a session to fail.  For
debugging purposes, write a simple middleware that keeps track of what
is going on with the session cookie.  Create a debugging app which can
store this debugging info to a file or a database table.

If all else fails, set-up a foolproof session set-up, store sessions
directly into the database or as files in the file system to a
directory which you know will not remove any of these files.  If you
use file-based sessions, you can check the timestamps there to see
which ones are becoming stale easily.  You can create a django view
which can list the directory and it's timestamps for easily watching
remotely(be sure to make the view superuser only).

Re: Limiting choices for ModelForm's ForeignKey/ManyToMany

[Kevin]

Thanks, this was exactly what I was looking for, here's the code I
used:

form.fields["rate"].queryset =
Rate.objects.filter(company_id=the_company.id)

Although with my own fields, and it worked perfectly.

Something else that other users may use more than this type would be
something like this:

form.fields["rate"].queryset = Rate.objects.filter(owner_id=req.user)

The request object cannot be accessed when building the ModelForm
class, for setting a filter such as this.  Although this filter can be
easily done a different way.

Well... it will fail as soon as you have an sample of magnetite or
haematite (Fe3O4 and Fe2O3 respectively) -- your code capitalizes all
characters in the final else block, including the "e" in Fe.

However, if you fix the logic problem, and you set the server encoding
of your page to be UTF-8, and serve it with UTF-8 page headers, it
should work fine -- or at least as well as the font on your customer's
browser allows. See [1] for more details on what you need to do to
serve UTF-8.

The other option is to use the  HTML tag; this provides slightly
better typographic support, since it's actually a typographic
subscript, rather than a unicode codepoint trying to emulate the
typography. This also won't be subject to any UTF-8 encoding problems.

If you look at the Wikipedia page for Iron Oxide [2], you'll see that
they use the  approach. Implementing a Django template filter to
convert "Fe2O3" into "Fe2O3" wouldn't be too
hard to do.

Re: molecular formulae

[aastrand]

Unfortunately, an automatic capitalization routine would not work in
general. Take Co (the element cobolt) and CO (the molecule
carbonmonoxide) as an example. Nickel, Ni, would be another case; NI3
(nitrogen triiodide) is an explosive wheras Ni3 would be a small Ni
cluster. Capitalization has a meaning in chemistry and needs to be
provided by the user.

Model for images with thumbnails

[MeME]

Hello,

I'm new to Django. I started to write something for personal
purposes.
I have doubts about writing model for media files, especially images.
In my app thumbnails should be automatically created when image is
uploaded. Each such image can have thumnails with different
dimensions. Images can be attached to posts.

The question is how to store such information in database?

Should it be separate records for each thumbnail and main image? And
how to keep relationship?

Or maybe I could store everything in one record as a serialized data
(as in Wordpress)? Then I could as well store there HTML for image and
metadata.

Hi,
how about creating a proper package and installing it as an egg? That
would be a proper way I think.

See this tutorial:
http://peak.telecommunity.com/DevCenter/setuptools

It is only a matter of creating the setup.py with the list of the
stuff you need to package,  then you run(from the project dir):
python setup.py build
python setup.py install
.. or even
easy_install ./

Then, if you use PyDev or any othe IDE you have to remember to refresh
the list of the locations/eggs if your list is strict(you don't need
to if you rely on dirs only).

Hope it helps.

Cheers,
Waldek

I agree. I was wrong to try anything with the non-numerics. They need to be

Also note that you have a math tag in html. Something like

Having trouble passing a parent table record “id” to a new record in a child table

[BillB1951]

I am having trouble passing a parent table record “id” to a new record
in a child table.  My urlconf calls add_childtable in my views.py and
passes the parenttable_id to it.  I have excluded the parenttable from
my ChildTableForm(ModelForm) because I do not want it to be available
to the users.  When I hit submit – from my form.html I get a
“KeyError” error message.  The parenttable field/column (a ForeighKey
field) does not want to accept the parenttable_id I am passing to it.

What am I doing wrong?  Example code snippets are always appreciated.

Thanks,
Bill

PS.   I notice that the code pasted in below seems to have messed up
some of the indenting, but its correct in my python files.




# models.py

class ChildTable(models.Model):
field1 = models.IntegerField(null=True, blank=True)
field2 = models.CharField(max_length=35, blank=True)
field3 = models.CharField(max_length=35, blank=True)
parenttable = models.ForeignKey(ParentTable)


class ChildTableForm(ModelForm):
class Meta:
model = ChildTable
exclude = ('parenttable',)

# views.py

def add_childtable(request, parenttable_id):
if request.method == 'POST':
form = ChildTableForm(request.POST)
if form.is_valid():
# create a new listing
childtable = ChildTable.objects.create(
field1=form.cleaned_data['field1'],built'],
field2=form.cleaned_data['field2'],built'],
field3=form.cleaned_data['field3'],built'],
parenttable=form.cleaned_data[parenttable_id],
)
# Always redirect after a POST
return http.HttpResponseRedirect('/appdir/childtable/%s/'
% childtable.id)
else:
# This the the first page load, display a blank form
form = ChildTableForm()
  context = Context({'title': 'Add ChildTableData', 'form': form})
context.update(csrf(request))
return render_to_response('appdir/form.html', context)

dumpdata and self referencing foreign keys

[Michael Elkins]

I have a model which represents a tree structure using a foreign 
key to itself:


class Foo(models.Model):
name = models.CharField(max_length=30)
parent = models.ForeignKey('Foo')

My problem is that "django-admin dumpdata" does not sort the rows 
such that it avoids forward references for the foriegn key values, 
which is a problem since I'm using MySQL InnoDB tables.  I see 
that this problem seems to be fixed in the devel tree 
(https://code.djangoproject.com/ticket/3615), but I just wanted to 
make sure there wasn't something I could easily do in the interim.


Since I know there are no circular references, I can write a 
script to postprocess the dumpdata output and reorder to avoid 
forward references.


Is there an easier alternative that I've missed?

Thanks!

Avoid m2m relations to be saved

[Mario8k]

Hi,

I need to prevent to save a model overriding the ModelAdmin
save_model() method. When i try to avoid obj.save(), direct fields are
not saved, but related m2m fields are saved as well.

def save_model(self, request, obj, form, change):
if request.user.is_superuser:
obj.save()
else:
if change:
  #here i save another model but i never execute
obj.save()

How can I prevent to save m2m relations too? How I can achieve the
original object not be changed?

There is an old thread with the same issue:
http://groups.google.com/group/django-users/browse_thread/thread/1d6c03b2464a486/07b31c5c0acb6302?lnk=gst&q=save_model+%2B+m2m#07b31c5c0acb6302
Any solution?
Thanks,
Mario.

Since parenttable_id isn't coming from the form, this won't work. It's a 
local variable, so just
parenttable = parenttable_id
should work.

However you're doing extra work by specifying the fields automatically - a 
modelform does that for you:

if form.is_valid(): 
childtable = form.save(commit=False)
childdtable.parenttable_id = parenttable_id
childtable.save()

Also, next time please remember to provide the actual error message + 
traceback when asking for help.

memcached, django 1.3: per-site caching with middleware

[trewq]

Hi Folks,

I am trying to get memcached working with django, and based on stats from 
the memcached, it is getting requests, but django is not sending it any 
thing. 

I created a question on 
stackoverflowand
 looks like a debugger and peering into the middleware maybe the next 
step. I wanted to find out if are aware of any issues for site-level 
caching with middleware. I upgraded memcached to 1.4.10 and am using django 
1.3.

Well... it will fail as soon as you have an sample of magnetite or

However, if you fix the logic problem, and you set the server encoding

should work fine -- or at least as well as the font on your customer's

serve UTF-8.


I'm totally over quirks and IE6 so I'll stick to html5 for utf-8 in this 
project. It is only the prototype phase. When it acquires a team it will 
probably be a different story.




The other option is to use the  HTML tag; this provides slightly
better typographic support, since it's actually a typographic
subscript, rather than a unicode codepoint trying to emulate the
typography. This also won't be subject to any UTF-8 encoding problems.

If you look at the Wikipedia page for Iron Oxide [2], you'll see that
they use the  approach. Implementing a Django template filter to
convert "Fe2O3" into "Fe2O3" wouldn't be too
hard to do.


It does look much better. How does one persuade the Admin app that such 
data is safe?


Perhaps I'll stick with unicode for the prototype.

Thanks

Mike

Re: dumpdata and self referencing foreign keys

My problem is that "django-admin dumpdata" does not sort the rows such 
that it avoids forward references for the foriegn key values, which is 
a problem since I'm using MySQL InnoDB tables.  I see that this 
problem seems to be fixed in the devel tree 
(https://code.djangoproject.com/ticket/3615), but I just wanted to 
make sure there wasn't something I could easily do in the interim.


Since I know there are no circular references, I can write a script to 
postprocess the dumpdata output and reorder to avoid forward 
references.


For future reference, I found a couple of interesting things:

If the model has "ordering = ('id',)" in its Meta, forward 
references will be avoided because the objects will be listed in 
the order they were created

http://www.pragmar.com/2010/01/16/django-dumpdataloaddata-import-errors-on-recursive-model/

The django-data-tools app 
(http://pypi.python.org/pypi/django-data-tools/0.1) enhances the 
dumpdata command in django-admin to deal with sorting tables by 
dependencies, including self-references.


I ended up creating a script using Django's serialization directly 
to create a dump of my table that can be imported with loaddata:


from django.core import serializers
import models

print serlializers.serialize('json', 
models.Foo.objects.all().ordered_by('id'), use_natural_keys=True)

Is the django coummity converging on a preferred REST API package?

[JohnA]

I’ve looked on this group, stackoverflow and the web at large for
indication that the django community is converging on a single REST
API package that is “preferred” and a potential candidate for
inclusion in a future django distribution.  So far all I’ve seen is
people saying positive or negative things about various packages or
the alternatives of writing yet another package or just winging it
with urlconfs and views.

It doesn’t seem to be a matter of "it depends what you want to
do" (though maybe required use or not of HTTP PUT and DELETE methods
could be a deciding factor).  I’m not an expert in REST, but the basic
requirements seem pretty clear to me – clean urls, multiple output
formats (xml, json etc.) and reliable and reasonably nonintrusive
authentication procedures – plus of course ease of implementation
including achieving wide coverage of base functionality with minimal
incremental code.

I guess what I'm asking is, what if any REST API package is emerging
as the leading solution, and if none, why not?   Thanks.

you write your url to view mapping in urls.py, note that in django, you 
don't need to do a crude hack like "rewriting url" instead you specify 
that an url is to be specified by certain views.

I don't see an obvious problem with your urls.py file.  Have you tried

Re: Is the django coummity converging on a preferred REST API package?

[Brett Epps]

I used Tastypie for a project recently and was pretty happy with it.  I
think Piston was the preferred package before Tastypie came about, but
Piston hasn't seen as much development recently.  Then again, Piston seems
to be good enough for Bitbucket, so it's probably good enough for many
projects.

Sorry I can't offer much technical advice on this topic, as I'm no expert
on either package.  To answer your question, though: to me, Tastypie
"feels" like the preferred package currently.

How many Django web pages does it take . . .

[Bill Beal]

Hi all,

I've been doing Django and mostly backend Python for a few months, and
I don't really know the limits of what can be done without resorting
to JavaScript and Ajax. Here's what I need to do: the user wants to
pick an individual from one of a number of lists and have the detailed
information come up editable for the one picked. My top-level list is
[Lions, Tigers, Bears, All]. The user picks Tigers, and then I present
the second-level Tigers list: [Tony, Hobbes, Tigger, Rajah]. The user
picks Hobbes, and then I present the detailed information for Hobbes
in an editable form: name, address etc. How clunky does this have to
be, in terms of mouse clicks and pages downloaded? I've read in more
than one place that if you use JavaScript you'd better have a version
of your page that works OK without it.

For extra credit, what high-powered tools would be needed to do
autocompletion, for example the user starts typing "Hobbes" into the
Name field and as soon as I find a unique match I present the details?
Or, show a list of possible matches when the partial field is not
unique?

I've been reading books, but most of them just show me how to build a
particular kind of website using Django.

Thanks for any help you can lend!

Re: many-to-many queryset question

[Peter of the Norse]

One possibility is to try two excludes.

bad_authors = Authors.objects.exclude(pk__in=SetOfAuthors)
qs = Entry.objects.exclude(authors__in=bad_authors)

This will return all entries that don't have authors in SetOfAuthors. It might 
even be easier, if you can skip creating SetOfAuthors in the first place.
