Re: Why doesn't syncdb ever modify or drop tables anymore?
syncdb has never been able to modify existing models.

Simple ManyToManyField/Model question
I am trying to make an application for recipes using Django. I am
starting simple and going from the tutorial but not getting the
results I want. In a less strict framework I'd be able to represent
what I want to easily but I'm having trouble figuring out how to do it
the Django way while keeping the database clean and easy to query to
prevent performance issues.
For this example, let's say I have two different models.
Recipe, and Ingredient.
A recipe has a name and a set of ingredients and an amount and
measurement corresponding to each ingredient. An ingredient has only a
name.
Here's an example schema of what the database in my mind would look like in 3NF:
create table drinks (id int(11) auto_increment, name varchar(255));
create table ingredients (id int(11) auto_increment, name varchar(255));
create table drinks_ingredients (drinks_id int(11) not null,
ingredients_id int(11) not null, amount int(11) not null, unit
varchar(12));
or similar. That allows me to create only one row per a specific
ingredient in the ingredients table(e.g. salt) and then use any
measurement of it in the drinks_ingredients table. That way you can
easily search for recipes containing a specific ingredient.
I'm having trouble figuring out how to get Django to recreate this
database structure. The tutorial example with the poll application is
similar but I'm not happy with the database schema because you can't
use the same choice in multiple polls. This means that if you had 50
yes/no polls, you'd have "Yes" and "No" replicated in the database 50
times which, frankly, sucks.
I think I need to use a ManyToManyField for this but I'm having
trouble finagling it to be the way I want. Here's what I have right
now but I can't figure out where to put the amount and unit for the
ingredients:
class Ingredient(models.Model):
name= models.CharField(max_length=255)
amount = models.IntegerField()
unit = models.CharField(max_length=12)
def __unicode__(self):
return self.name
class Admin:
pass
class Recipe(models.Model):
name= models.CharField(max_length=255)
ingredients = models.ManyToManyField('Ingredient')
def __unicode__(self):
return self.name
class Admin:
pass
Any ideas would be greatly appreciated :)

Perfect, the "extra fields" and an intermediary relationship model

Get old value of Field in ModelForm clean_* method?
Is there any way to get the old value of a field in a clean_* method on the ModelForm? That is - the validation depends on the old value of the field versus the new value. self.cleaned_data only contains the new value.

Re: Get old value of Field in ModelForm clean_* method?
No, that is the uncleaned data. Maybe a more explicit example will help: You go to edit an instance of a model that has a field named "title". The value of "title" for this particular instance is currently "Test". You change the value of "title" from "Test" to "Test123" and click "save". How can I get the original value of "title"(that is - "Test", not the new value, "Test123") in the clean_title method?

Re: is_authenticated
If you are using default Django sessions, they will be stored in the database.
>From the docs:
By default, Django stores sessions in your database (using the model
django.contrib.sessions.models.Session). Though this is convenient, in
some setups it's faster to store session data elsewhere, so Django can
be configured to store session data on your filesystem or in your
cache.
>>> from django.contrib.sessions.models import Session

Model-specific admin templatetag template OR admin list multi-sort
I am trying to customize the list view of one of my models in the admin to separate it into a few different tables for organization purposes. My model is an "order". The important fields for this problem are the user who placed the order, the date is was placed, the restaurant it was for, and the item at that restaurant they ordered. I have the date filtering set up with date_hierarchy so that's all okay, but what people would really like to be able to do is sort by restaurant THEN by items within that restaurant. Is that possible with the current admin? If not, what I'd like to do is break this out into a series of different tables, one for each restaurant. Then you'd be able to sort by item within those tables. I looked at: http://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/ref/contrib/admin/#overriding-admin-templates which says you can override admin templates on a per model basis, and I was able to do so for my change_list.html template, however I can't do it for the change_list_results.html template which is referenced by the results_list templatetag and handles the actual table output. In order to accomplish this, would I need to define a new custom templatetag and call it from the custom change_list.html template? Is there an easier way to do what I want? --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.

Re: Filter ALL requests before dispatching via URLs.py?
What you are describing are Django "Context Processors". http://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/ref/templates/api/?from=olddocs#id1 Basically you'd make a new context processor to set the variables you need in your context and have it included for all of your views.

Re: Django ORM - Table Changes
That is a short-coming of the Django ORM, unfortunately solving the problem of iterative schema changes is pretty difficult. There are some projects around that attempt to fix this issue, in varying stages of completion: http://south.aeracode.org/wiki/Alternatives is a decent list. As for your specific question of changing the column name - eep :) It's slightly tedious to do that sort of thing seamlessly with the stock ORM. Here's the workflow I'd suggest for changing a column name: 1) Manually create a column named after what you want the new name to be, with the same data type, following the Django ORM's naming scheme 2) Copy the data from the old column for all rows into the newly created column 3) Update the code and change the property name in the model code 4) Ensure the application seems to be working 5) Drop the old-named column Note: These instructions may not apply directly, depending on what your property is - in the case of a many-to-many relationship, for example, a join table is used. I'm sure you can figure out how to go from here, though. -Chris On Thu, Sep 10, 2009 at 1:31 PM, Thomas wrote: > > I've been teaching myself Django over the past couple of days.

Re: Obfuscate HTML..?
What reason do you have for this? Security through obfuscation isn't a
good strategy, especially with something as intrinsically open as
HTML. If your site can be hacked just by being able to view the HTML
then you have bigger problems to worry about than obfuscating it.

Much like programming, it will come from experience. Practice a lot. You'll make a lot of things you aren't happy with, probably like your first bits of code :) Try to imitate things you like, and see the techniques they use to create cool designs. It, like anything else worth doing, will be easier with experience. The best way is to just do. See if you have any artistic friends that can give feedback on what you're creating. Try to identify what colors work well together(a site like colourlovers.com is nice for finding color schemes) and work with those.

Re: Table with 4 Milions of rows
It really depends on how you're selecting the data from the database. If you're doing something that necessitates a full table scan(like in-DB ORDER BY) it will slow you down considerably. If you're selecting one row from the database by an indexed column, then the performance will be very fast and there's no need to prematurely optimize.

Re: Table with 4 Milions of rows
What might be useful is to figure out exactly what SQL Django winds up running then doing an "EXPLAIN " on that query in your DBMS from the command line. That will let you know what the backend is doing and what the performance considerations you should take are.

Genericized pre/post-request processing in Controller?(View?)
Here's a question that is probably divisive - why did Django decide to go with Model/Template/View instead of Model/View/Controller? MVC just conceptually makes so much more sense to me. Anyhow, that's not the primary point of this posting... Is there any way to implement some sort of pre and/or post-request processing that runs across any request that comes through? Does this already exist? Ideally I would use this to implement some sort of RESTful interface(yes, I know about the Django REST interface http://code.google.com/p/django-rest-interface/ but I don't like that it seems to violate DRY by requiring you to write extremely similar code for each of your models - and the fact that you have to define one url per view type per model. If you had four view types (XML, JSON, HTML, plaintext) and five models, things get messy and hard to maintain quick!) Either way, I am wondering if there is some sort of start/end method similar to what other frameworks provide? At least in perl Catalyst I know that you can define a global start and end method that are wrapped around any request. I would use these methods to start developing my idea for a genericized RESTful API that you can easily add any model to.

Re: Distributed databases
Would it be possible to replace the Django database driver(i.e. postgresql, sqlite, mysql) with a custom one that managed the various database connections?

Follow the instructions on the Django website at http://www.djangoproject.com/download/ and run `svn co http://code.djangoproject.com/svn/django/trunk/` After that, you should be able to `svn up` to get the latest version.

Re: Drop all tables
If you are using SQLite you could just delete the database file. If not, I'm confused at why you'd have access to the shell but not access to the database - do you not have access to the database you are working on or something? If so, I would ask whoever has access to it to drop the tables for you. I don't think there'd be a shell command that would allow you to drop database tables without having database access since that would be a security flaw. If you reply with which DBMS you're using, we can give you specific instructions for how to drop tables.

Additionally, you could use `django-admin.py flush` to wipe all the database tables and reset them to the state they were in after you initially syncdb'ed. http://www.djangoproject.com/documentation/django-admin/ On Mon, May 12, 2008 at 10:20 AM, Chris Czub <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > If you are using SQLite you could just delete the database file.

ImageField get_X_url() method not respecting MEDIA_URL?
I'm having an issue with the ImageField's get_X_url() method(I think it
actually inherits from FileField) not using my MEDIA_URL in the url it
forms.
*Model:*
class ImageUpload(models.Model):
image = models.ImageField(help_text='Image to upload',
upload_to="uploads/%Y%m%d%H%M%S")
class ImageUploadForm(ModelForm):
class Meta:
model = ImageUpload
def clean_image(self):
if self.cleaned_data.get('image'):
image_data = self.cleaned_data['image']
if not image_data:
raise forms.ValidationError('Please upload an image')
size = len(image_data.content)
if size > 1024000:
raise forms.ValidationError('Filesize too large. Expected <=
1 megabyte')
return image_data
If I call "get_image_url()" on an instance of a ImageUpload model that I
have called save_image_file on, I get the resultant url:
http://www.mysite.com/uploads/20080603151319/rrbk.jpg
However, my settings.py contains the settings:
# Absolute path to the directory that holds media.
# Example: "/home/media/media.lawrence.com/"
MEDIA_ROOT = '/home/myuser/webapps/static/'
# URL that handles the media served from MEDIA_ROOT.
# Example: "http://media.lawrence.com";
MEDIA_URL = 'http://www.mysite.com/media'
which is correct - the url of the image SHOULD be
http://www.mysite.com/media/uploads/20080603151319/rrbk.jpg
Any ideas?

Re: create model instance
http://www.djangoproject.com/documentation/models/fixtures/
What you are looking for is an initial_data fixture. You need to serialize
the default instance of the model you want as JSON and save it in
initial_data.json and then it should prepopulate when you run syncdb.

Re: Packaging and transferring code
That really depends on the app and how everything is configured. For example, where are you installing the required Python packages? Do you have a Python lib directory in the application or are you using one of your system's Python include paths? It should not be *too* difficult but depending on how things are laid out, you might need basic Python knowledge(like knowing how imports work and sys.path) to help you debug.

Re: High Traffic
You're creating a contrived test though. If you really wanted the count of users you'd probably do a "count" in the database itself. I don't think you're getting any valuable data on your application's actual performance: you basically made a view that just loops over 9000 items. Of course it will be slow if you keep reloading it! Try using a tool like "ab"(Apache Benchmark) or tsung to hit real application pages quickly and concurrently.

Are you running Django and MySQL on the same server box? If so then you are possibly running into speed issues because of contention. There are several Djagno configuration docs on the web that talk about using at least one server for your app and another for your database. Another thing to do is move static files onto their own sever. You might want to try django-debug-toolbar to examine your queries for your webpages to see if you can do some optimization. I highly recommend giving it a go! Of course there are many things one can do to make things faster but you'll need to give us some more info about your setup before we can help you more.

Re: Heroku.com experiences?
Heroku has been good to me and some of my colleagues so far. They host on AWS so if there was an AWS outage obviously your site would be down(would be nice to be able to fail over to Rackspace or something) but other than that reliability is fine. Their support is very good and responsive as well. More add-ons keep being added to the platform and those make it really easy as a developer to add things(cacheing, databases, message queues, whatever) to your application. I'm a fan.

Re: Easy question (I hope)
Shawn -- what do you recommend instead? A friend and I recently had this debate. His suggestion was to split off as much behavior into smaller apps with only a handful of models in the models.py as possible, but I said that if it's not reusable, it shouldn't be an app. I still haven't found a solution for organizing large-scale Django app model structures that I'm happy with.

Re: Best way to tell if we're in a test
I think you might be taking the wrong approach. Rather than having your application code checking whether or not it's in a test, have your testing code disable/mock certain behaviors that you don't want exercised(like have it always return that the user answered the security question correctly or something). Python's dynamic nature makes it easy to monkey patch things like this. Look at the Mock class: http://python-mock.sourceforge.net/ On Fri, Apr 29, 2011 at 12:53 PM, Jody McIntyre wrote: > What's the best way to tell (from regular code) if we're in a test?

Re: python + BDD (Behaviour)
I've had good luck with Lettuce. It's very similar to Cucumber(the test format is the same) so you should be able to jump right in. The terrain features they offer are really useful as well.

Re: Django's documention is horrible
Yup, that is my approach...
The Django sourcecode is eminently readable and well-organized and most of
it has documentation associated with it.
You can jump into a shell and use the help() command to view API
documentation like you requested.
e.g.
>>> help('django.contrib.auth.models.User')
