Re: Strip empty lines in rendered templates?
You could adapt that middlewear to make it only stop blank lines I'm sure.
I use it for one website and its only used in the production version, in my
settings for the dev version it doesn't include that middlewear so it
doesn't effect any front end development.
Only thing to be aware of is it messes up some tags, like and

It means another program is using the port you are trying to use. Do you have another server running? or skype by any chance? If you can still view the website in the browser, its not a problem.

Re: User, Auth, Group
The permission system doesn't understand the concept of users 'owning' things. Therefore, the permissions apply to everything. Can all, can change any or can delete any. This is something you need to implement yourself. You can do things to filter the admin so they only see models they edited.

Re: User, Auth, Group
Indeed, the admin doesn't really enforce this. The admin is for trusted users and thus the filter just helps people out but isn't for security. You would be better building your custom admin I think. If you start using model forms etc. its not really that hard.

Re: Setting up Facebook Connect for your test environment
I don't really know much about Facebook Connect... but I assume the xd_reciever is called by Facebook? As in they make requests to it? Well then they will need access to it so localhost wont work. If you have set up your network to allow it, they could access you via your IP address? http://123.123.123.123/xd_reciever/ ? However, you will need to make the django dev server viewable externally (other than from the localhost) - I'm not sure how/if you can do that.

Re: Username Blacklist
and that would just to be too easy!
You could use subdomains for the other parts of the site? would also be an
easy/clean solution.
or just have the other pages above the users in the url conf and register
the other usernames yourself so nobody else can and they wont be viewable
anyway.

Re: Is Django right for me?
You might want to look at the Django templating system. It's far more powerful and flexible than using a simple PHP script and including other files. Django wouldn't be overkill - it would make all of the features you mentioned really easy as it does them out of the box. Allowing you to spend all your time working on the website itself rather than repeating (or self maintaining) the building blocks. I moved over from PHP and haven't looked back.

Django uses an ORM - so you don't (usually) need to query the database directly.

Re: how to django to request a page of the other domain
It depends what data your fetching I suppose but you might just want to use urllib? JavaScript triggers a view that makes a request to the remote server and outputs the result to your javascript.

Re: How do i use dojo in my Django application
It kinds depends what you want to do really. JavaScript is run inside the browser and Django is running on your website. So it doesn't even know what Django or Python is, however they can communicate and pass data. By using it with Django, do you mean you want to do some Ajax stuff? If that's the case then you will want to decide how you are going to pass data. You can then just make your views return the appropriate data, be that chunks of HTML, JSON or XML etc. Dougal --- Dougal Matthews - @d0ugal http://www.dougalmatthews.com/ 2009/4/2 Gath > > All, > > I have downloaded Dojo 1.3, i want to start sampling some examples in > the Dojo website using Django, where do i place the package?

Re: How to relate child instance to Parent?
I think its as simple as; x = Staff() user_obj = x.user I found that by just printing out the result of dir(Staff()) ;) I think however, you want to add to add a subclass for a user that already exists. I'm not sure how you can do that, or if you can.

Re: "-" in template variables
>From the docs;
"Variable names must consist of any letter (A-Z), any digit (0-9), an
underscore or a dot."
http://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/ref/templates/api/#rendering-a-context
I suppose you could write a template tag to handle it or something. Not
sure.

Re: Overwrite send_mail
Thanks Will, Found it here; http://code.djangoproject.com/browser/django/trunk/django/test/utils.py#L50 That does look about what I am hoping to do, not so sure about monkey patching the core though. Basically, assuming django's send_mail is the standard most apps use, I want to be able to hook into that and handle all my applications email_sending how I wish. Be that through using django-mailer or something else. Possible use cases could be; - A Queue email system like django-mailer - Adding in my own logging for emails sent - Take emails to mean something else, like actually going to SMS I think the more hooks django gives you into replacing/customising like this the better. I might go and see how hard it would be to patch...

Re: if number <= othernumber
Django by default doesn't allow this. This is a design decision,
comparisons like that in your template are considered 'advanced
logic.' It is discussed here;
http://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/misc/design-philosophies/#don-t-invent-a-programming-language
However, this doesn't stop you having your own template tag that
allows it. Or using this one that is on djangosnippets;
http://www.djangosnippets.org/snippets/1350/
This is the same all the way up to django 1.1

Dougal

Re: subscription based web app - want to develop - bounty
This hasn't been updated since August 2007, so there is pretty much no chance it will work with 1.0 or 1.1 out of the box. However, you might find its a good base to work from; http://code.google.com/p/django-accounts/ The feature list claims; 1. subdomain-based accounts ie: account1.domain.com, account2.domain.com 2. Your customers can create multiple 'sub-users' for their account. 3. Role-based security & groups. 4. Subscription plans - ie: Gold, Silver, etc. with resource quotas 5. Integrates with payment processors for recurring billing. Might be a good idea to make a copy on github and interested people will watch/fork etc. Cheers, Dougal --- Dougal Matthews - @d0ugal http://www.dougalmatthews.com/ 2009/5/17 AE : > > Hi > > I have looked enough and failed to identify anything that solves or > like "SaaS railskit" if I am wrong please let me know.

Re: Using Ajax with django from different domain and technology
If everything is going to be hosted on different servers etc. I think you might want to consider using a web service or some sort SOAP or REST.

Re: When do snippets get into Django?
Something like Pinax may offer what you need. Its almost like django.contrib but an external project. you can find out more about it here; http://pinaxproject.com/ Or the seperate mailing list; http://groups.google.com/group/pinax-users They are pushing towards improving the main release at the moment, with 0.7 coming soon. I think there will then be migration/upgrade support from then onwards. I believe its coming but not sure what stage it kicks in. Pinax includes a huge number of apps, like django-tagging and more are being added.

Re: de-facto tagging (was: When do snippets get into Django?)
I've never actually used it in any work related projects. I've only used it in personal messing around type projects... > Good contrib packages tackle issues that that are not trivial, are bikeshed > prone, and are difficult to get right for the common case. I don't think tagging is a particularly hard or non-trivial. Anyway, this conversation is a bit irrelevant because; Core developers want contrib to be slim, so its going to have a really strong usecase to get in. If you start adding 'tagging' a huge number of other things start to feel like they need to be added too. It because a case of well, you added tagging, so why not this? Also, what benefit do we really get from having it in contrib? Ok, so it means everybody has it but by the sounds of things everybody uses it anyway... The difference between it being in contrib and being external is very minimal to the developer that uses it.

Re: de-facto tagging (was: When do snippets get into Django?)
Fair enough. I don't really have an issue with the idea, could be quite handy. I can just imagine them saying no :) so thought I would question it as a move/idea.

Re: a request for some brain picking
How would you propose people edit and manage the templates? Do you follow a wiki style where everybody can edit others? or follow a VCS and allow forking of templates? I think it will be hard to find contributors since it will be hard to have a limited/standard template context that still remains a useful resource for all. Have you any thoughts about example templates? Perhaps a good place to start would be by creating custom admin templates as that context is defined by django already (pretty much) and then it would be useful and usable by anybody in real projects rather than scenarios.

Re: Top 10 tips to a new Django developer. correct approach?
If you want your app to be shipped individually and re-used then you shouldn't use the project name. If you make a reusable app and release it then I want to use it, I don't want to have to include the project namespace, i just want the app. However, its your shipping the project as a whole then it doesn't really matter and its then its just down to personal preference really.

Re: What's the going rate for a Django developer?
I think the answer to that is probably "it depends". 1. Permanent or contractor? 2. What country? 3. Often it even matters what city? 4. How much experience do they have? It's probably best for you to look at job adverts and see what they are offering. Some listings on http://djangogigs.com include the salary/budget.

The django-developers mailing list is for the discussion about
the development of django itself, not using django.
Please use the django-users mailing list and don't cross post between the

You could always continue to use MySQL workbench and use django-admin.py inspecdb[1] to create the models. It seems a bit backwards to me and I imagine it will trip up eventually... I would suggest you try to get used to managing them via python - there is a reason most people use it, it really works quite well.

Twitpic is usually used by 3rd party programs - not directly. So for example with Tweetdeck, if they wanted to integrate Twitpic I would have to use oauth to allow tweetdeck and then oauth again with twitpic and every other service. In other words, a horrible user experience - the same would apply to websites. There isn't a way to pass around tokens between services as its authenticated against their secret key. So you need to authenticate each of them individually or use the passwords. Anyway, basically you should at least store encrypted passwords as you can't store a hash.
