New custom field and widget for admin
I'm stuck on creating a custom widget for the admin interface and wondering if anyone can help on where to look. I've got a field which is essential a ForeignKey pointing to a State model. In the admin interface I would like to show the current state (done) and a list of the possible transitions (where I'm stuck). The list of the possible transitions is the issue since this is based on the attributes of the current State AND the current values of the model instance. On the state I've got a method: def get_transitions(self, obj): ... Which given the model instance, will combine and figure out the possible transitions. But I'm not sure how to get the required object. I've been rummaging around in django.db.models.fields.related.ForeignKey > formfield, there's an option to set the queryset. For example for a foreign key, it uses the default object manage of the class the reference is pointing to. But at that point I don't have the model instance to pass to get_transitions. If I go up to the widget I don't have access to the model instance at all. I've wandered around object managers and I'm a bit stumped. Any ideas appreciated, I have a feeling I'm going about it all wrong (wouldn't be the first or last time :).

Re: Is it possible to display multiple forms in a single template file?
Yes but you never pass two forms to the template at the same time. In add_product you pass form1, in add_product_details you pass form2. >>> (r'^product/$', views.add_product), >>> (r'^product/$', views.add_product_details), You have the same URL twice, only one of them will ever be active. Remove one of those of URL's, then merge the two views together and pass both form1 and form2 to the template. -- Andy McKay Clearwind Consulting Site: www.clearwind.ca Blog: www.agmweb.ca/blog/andy --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.

Re: Django And os.path Behavior
> os.path.exists behaves differently if called from a django app. Why?
I don't think it does, for example:
~/sandboxes/arecibo $ ls -al ~/Desktop/
[...snip..]
drwxr-xr-x 2 andy andy 68 5 Dec 21:57 El Camarón de la Isla
~/sandboxes/arecibo $ cat test.py
# -*- coding: utf-8 -*-
import os
print os.path.exists("/Users/andy/Desktop/El Camarón de la Isla")
~/sandboxes/arecibo $ python test.py
True
~/sandboxes/arecibo $ python manage.py shell
imPython 2.4.4 (#1, Feb 18 2007, 22:11:27)
[GCC 4.0.1 (Apple Computer, Inc. build 5250)] on darwin
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
(InteractiveConsole)
>>> import django
>>> import test
True
Seems to work just fine, there's nothing I've seen that fiddles with
os.path. What is more likely: in one situation you've got a string
encoded one way, in another its another. Check those strings encodings
are what you expect prior to calling them.

Re: Created Form - now code works to edit object but add gets NoneType' object is not callable
I don't think you are defining the ModelForm correctly, the whole point is that Django creates the fields for you. If you look at: http://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/topics/forms/modelforms This is the key difference between a ModelForm and a normal form: http://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/topics/forms/#form-objects You'll see there are no field definitions and there is instead a pointer through class Meta: to the model. The form is trying to create the model and failing. A better form for you would be: class SurveyForm(forms.ModelForm): class Meta: model = Survey (add in your import statement so it knows what Survey is).

You don't really want use django.views.static.serve in the real world
anyway, you want to use Apache. And for Apache there is an
Authentication handler for mod_python that allows you to authenticate
a request for a static file.
http://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/howto/apache-auth/
Other webservers and tools may vary.

Do you mean in the template?
The view is python and you can access the profile just as you do so

I don't use Django templating but have you tried:
user.get_profile.home_address
Not sure why you'd be using myprofile there where in python you used
get_profile.

Best practice imho is not to use SQL lite for anything other than quickly playing around. I would strongly recommend postgres (other people my recommend others).

If you are in a for loop you can test whether you are at the end.

Line two merely checks for the presence of the field, not its contents

Reusing fields in forms
I've got a bunch of fields in a bunch of forms. Some of those fields repeat themselves. So rather than copy and paste them around, I defined the fields in a module and then imported them. Then pulled them into my forms. All well and good. The problem is that the fields are coming out in the wrong order, (I think) because of the creation_counter which tracks the order of the fields. The field is created in the library and not in the form and thats when it gets the counter value.

Re: Making the case for Django (vs. Drupal)
One key thing to remember is that Django and Drupal (and the other things you mentioned) are quite different things. You are comparing apples to oranges which makes the sell harder. Drupal is a CMS and has a different target audience. It has the level of complexity that comes from solving the CMS problems. Drupal like most CMS's will allow you to do things the Drupal way quite easily. As soon as you stray from that path, you'll be in trouble. I recommend understanding your audience and the difference in tools and how this affects them. -- Andy McKay www.clearwind.ca On 2009-10-31, at 9:44 AM, shacker wrote: > > At the university where I work, there is a LOT of momentum behind > Drupal.

I've done something similar to this in the past so I can integrate Plone (which pushes straight to the db) with Django. I have a database trigger that writes to an audit log table. That table has a matching Django model. So then I have a cron job that runs every couple of minutes, looking for any changes on the table and then does some work (in this case updating navigation and search). This lets me stay in the Django ORM as much as possible, with the addition of just one trigger. -- Andy McKay, @clearwind Training: http://clearwind.ca/training/ -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.

Try using values in the filter eg:
Disposal.objects.values("mydate").filter(mydate__year__gte=2008).distinct()
The problem is the default django query selects all the fields, messing
up the distinct part.

So users should be typing in some HTML, that becomes part of a model and you then render the model back out. As for the custom tag you can compile that back out like this: http://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/ref/templates/api/#compiling-a-string > If everything work accordingly, the custom tag will activate and put > javascript/googleMap api onto the page and display a google map.

To be honest this is one of the things I did in my first or second Zope project which seems about 4 bazillion years ago. Users could enter these custom tags into the HTML area and magic would happen. Sadly it didn't work out very well. I would recommend a simple "add map to this page" button myself that twiddles a model attribute. -- Andy McKay, @clearwind Training: http://clearwind.ca/training/ Whistler conference: http://clearwind.ca/djangoski/ -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.

Registration open for DjangoSki Conference, March 2-4 2010
Registration is now open for the first DjangoSki Conference in Whistler, March 2-4 2010. http://djangoski.com DjangoSki is a conference with a difference. It's set in the ski resort of Whistler and is half conference, half un-conference and, erm, half skiing. Come to the conference and meet with our keynote speakers: Jacob Kaplan-Moss, Matt Berg and David Ascher [1], then go skiing on the hills with them in the afternoon. Talk submission is now open. If you'd like to speak there, we'd love to hear you talk. Ad-hoc talks, birds of a feather and so on are also a big part of the conference [2] Afternoons, we break for skiing before reconvening in the evening [3] There's lots more to talk about, but check out the website for more. Early birds are on a first come, first served basis, so register soon. [4] We look forward to seeing you there.

If your template is getting too complex or you can't see how to figure
it out, restructure your content in your view to make your template
easier. Python's good at doing that, the templating language isn't.
So if your data was:
[ "year": "2009", "data": expenserow1 ],
[ "year": "2008", "data": expenserow2 ],
You would be able to do simply, for head:
{% for row in expenses %}{{ row.year }}{% endfor %}
For rows:
{% for row in expenses %}
{{ row.data.salary }}{{ row.data.travel }}
{% endfor %}
And so on.

You could get the models to work the way you want, but one tip is to
considering getting the data just the way you want to work easily in
your template and that's just (hopefully) simple Python data structure
manipulation.
Good luck fitting all those 000's in for their expenses for the duck
pond and the adult movies ;)

Re: Filter (AND excluding empty values)
A filter can take a python dictionary. So all you have to do is: Property.objects.filter(**some_dictionary) All you have to do is populate that dictionary. You can do that by accessing request.get, but the best way is to pass that into a django form. -- Andy McKay, @clearwind Whistler conference: http://clearwind.ca/djangoski -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.

A few points: - RSS readers keep track of all the things that have been read and don't display duplicates, so I don't really see a need for doing this anyway - You maybe want a script that runs once a week and produces a summary post of all the things entered that week, but that just gives you one item. - Or you just do a query that specifies the time range, eg: filter and only show posts in the last seven days. -- Andy McKay, @andymckay Django Consulting, Training and Support -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.

Re: python logging and multiple process issue?
Are you wanting to log errors that occur in your django site?

If you want to debug development code or you will find python's built in logging will be just fine for all but the most complicated of use cases.

Yes there are many large scale (in terms of data and complexity) running on Django. We've just completed a large "enterprise" project converting classic ASP to Django and its gone extremely well. It's not on djangosites because the NDA denies it. What you might need to consider if you are pitching to management is making sure that training, consulting and support is available from companies (which it is). -- Andy McKay, @clearwind http://clearwind.ca/djangoski -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.

No, but there's lots of other solutions.

A django view is just python, so ask yourself how you would execute erlang from python and the answer is you probably won't but you could be doing something like (first hit in Google for erland and python): http://code.activestate.com/recipes/534162-an-erlang-port-in-python/ or using the builtin popen functions: http://docs.python.org/library/os.html#os.popen -- Andy McKay, @clearwind -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.
