I usually do that through a css switch on the body tag.
e.g.
base template: -
Home
Products
FAQ
contact us
css: -
#section-home #nav-home a,
#section-products #nav-products a,
#section-faq #nav-faq a,
#section-contact #nav-contact a {
background-color: blue;
}
products template: -
{% block section %}products{% endblock %}
faq template: -
{% block section %}faq{% endblock %}

I don't think the 'Require group' stuff will work. Guess you'll have to write your own auth handler based on django.contrib.auth.handlers.modpython. You could then pass the groups, or whatever else you need, to the handler using PythonOption directives. e.g. AuthType basic AuthName "djauth test" Require valid-user SetEnv DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE djauth.settings PythonOption DjangoGroups XXX group2 group3 PythonAuthenHandler path.to.my.auth.handler Have a look at django.contrib.auth.handlers.modpython. Should be easy to do. Good luck. --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.

I've also written a print server backend/filter for CUPS based on tea4cups [1] that does accounting and IP based access control. We're also using django for all sort of system administration tasks at the university where I work. e.g for managing the CUPS/Samba servers from the django admin, maintaining install profiles for unattended Gentoo linux installations and such. django makes it dead simple to create both web interfaces as well as command line tools.

I've been using the following for something similar:
class PlainText(forms.HiddenInput):
def render(self, name, value, attrs=None):
return u'%s%s' % (forms.HiddenInput.render(self, name, value,
attrs), value)
def myobject_formfield_callback(field, **kwargs):
if field.name in ('hostname', 'ipaddress'):
kwargs['widget'] = PlainText()
return field.formfield(**kwargs)
else:
return field.formfield(**kwargs)
def myview(request):
myobject = get_object_from_somewhere()
initial = myobject.__dict__
FormClass = forms.form_for_instance(myobject,
formfield_callback=myobject_formfield_callback)
form = FormClass(initial=initial)
...
In my example I just want certain fields to show as text. If you want
that for all of them change the formfield_callback to always change the
widget.
If you only want the plain value without a hidden field change the
PlainText.render method accordingly.
Works for me.

If I understand you correctly you want to force users to fill out their
profile.
I do something similar, but without Django-registration. For that I've
written my own login view (see attachment) that checks if the user has a
profile. As long as he hasn't created one he always gets redirected to
the 'fill out profile form' after login.

Hi Chris
\w matches [a-zA-Z0-9_] [1]
The dashes there are not understood as dashes per se, but rather specify
a range.
I'd use either:
(r'^(?P\w+)/(?P[^/]+)/$', 'myview'),
or:
(r'^(?P\w+)/(?P[\w-]+)/$', 'myview'),
or, if you want it more specific:
(r'^(?P\w+)/(?P\d{4}-\d{2}-\d{2})/$', 'myview'),
Personally I'd go with the last example in this case.

I've you're a linux noob go with {k,u}buntu. If you're a hardcore *nix

The python-memcached client fails silently if it encounters an error,
e.g. can't connect to the server.
You could try changing how the client is created in
django/core/cache/backends/memcached.py
from:
self._cache = memcache.Client(server.split(';'))
to:
self._cache = memcache.Client(server.split(';'), debug=1)
And see if you get some error message in the server log.

I believe you wont see anything on starting apache but rather when the
server starts serving requests.
Apart from that, can you connect to the memcached daemon from the python
prompt?
e.g. does something like this work?
import memcache
mc = memcache.Client(['127.0.0.1:11211'], debug=1)
mc.set('foo', 'bar')
print mc.get('foo')

Looking at your dpaste entry again it seems you haven't configured the
cache middleware.
> Here is the ZeroDivisionError, btw:
> http://dpaste.com/60185/

Installed Middleware:
('django.middleware.common.CommonMiddleware',
'django.contrib.sessions.middleware.SessionMiddleware',
'django.contrib.auth.middleware.AuthenticationMiddleware',
'django.middleware.doc.XViewMiddleware',
'django.contrib.flatpages.middleware.FlatpageFallbackMiddleware')
Try adding it in your settings.py, e.g:
MIDDLEWARE_CLASSES = (
'django.middleware.cache.CacheMiddleware',
'django.middleware.common.CommonMiddleware',
'django.contrib.sessions.middleware.SessionMiddleware',
'django.contrib.auth.middleware.AuthenticationMiddleware',
'django.middleware.doc.XViewMiddleware',

The below class is from one of my projects. Works fine so far.
The data is first pickled, then base64 encoded, the result is then
stored in the db. By using the 'data' property instead of the real field
it all happens transparently.
I found some snippets that got me started in the code of the admin's
loginform implementation.
Hope this helps.
class PortletPreference(models.Model):
"""Persistant storage of portlet preferences.
"""
portlet = models.ForeignKey(Portlet, unique=True)
# don't access 'encoded_data' directly, use the 'data' property instead
encoded_data = models.TextField(_('Encoded Data.'), blank=True,
null=True)
def _get_data(self):
return self._decode(self.encoded_data)
def _set_data(self, data):
self.encoded_data = self._encode(data)
data = property(_get_data, _set_data)
def __str__(self):
return '%s' % self.portlet
class Meta:
verbose_name = _('PortletPreference')
verbose_name_plural = _('PortletPreferences')
def _decode(self, data):
pickled = base64.decodestring(data)
try:
return pickle.loads(pickled)
except:
return {}
def _encode(self, preferences_dict):
pickled = pickle.dumps(preferences_dict)
encoded_data = base64.encodestring(pickled)
return encoded_data
# Only for testing/debugging. This model should _not_ be edited in
the admin.
class Admin:
pass

Best to forget that the member encoded_data even exists. So to store something: sub.data = myFancyPythonObject To retrieve something: myFancyPythonObject = sub.data Please note that I have never used this to store QuerySets or Models or the like in the database. Just plain old python objects, preferably dicts. By storing a QuerySet like this you decouple it from the database. I have no idea how this will behave when you decode and try to do something fancy with it later on. The database will most likely have changed in the mean time. cheers Steven --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.

I needed just that so I wrote a template tag for it [1].
Usage is like this:
{% load archivedates %}
{% get_archive_dates news.Entry pub_date as archive_dates %}
{% if archive_dates %}
News Archiv
{% for archive in archive_dates %}
{{
archive|date:"F Y" }}
{% endfor %}

Hi Chris
The attached file is a small 'proof of concept' test I once did. Maybe
it gives you some ideas.
Also have a look at [1].

Hi Chris
The following works for me:
class PasswordField(models.CharField):
def get_manipulator_field_objs(self):
return [forms.PasswordField]
def get_internal_type(self):
return 'CharField'
class MyModel(models.Model):

password = PasswordField(_('Password'), maxlength=50)

Wouldn't that be a use case for djangos built in (but hardly documented)
AUTH_PROFILE_MODULE setting?
e.g.
settings.py: --
AUTH_PROFILE_MODULE = 'common.UserProfile'
myproject.common.models.py: --
class UserProfile(models.Model):
user = models.ForeignKey(User)
site = models.ForeignKey(Site, default=settings.SITE_ID, blank=True)
nick = models.CharField(maxlength=32, blank=True, null=True)
def informalName(self):
return self.nick
def formalName(self):
return '%s %s' % (self.user.first_name, self.user.last_name)
...
And then in views:
request.user.get_profile().formalName()
or in templates:
{{ user.get_profile.formalName }}

In your settings.py add:
from django.conf.global_settings import TEMPLATE_CONTEXT_PROCESSORS
TEMPLATE_CONTEXT_PROCESSORS += (
'django.core.context_processors.request',
)
That gives you access to the request object in your templates so you can
use:
{{ request.get_full_path }}
which in your example would be:
/hoho?index=0
The available props and methods of the request object can be found here [1].

It gets sort of complicated though if you've got related models, 'cause of the lazy loading in querysets.

I believe validator_list should be a list of callables, not strings.
Maybe try something like:
from wherever import isAlphaNumeric
...
validator_list=[isAlphaNumeric]

if >, if >= in templates?
Hi
I've got the following in my template:
{% if reference_set.count %}
{% for reference in reference_set.all|slice:":5" %}
{{ reference.name }}
{% endfor %}
{% endif %}
If there are more then 5 references I'ld like to show a 'more' link that
leads to a list of all references.
Something like (pseudocode):
{% if reference_set.count > 5 %}
more
{% endif %}
Anybody know how to do that?
Or am I missing something obvious?

Using sqlite, django also complained with AssertionError 'offset'
is not allowed without 'limit'.
Ivan's variation does the trick.

These variables live as long as the python interpreter runs. (at least thats my understanding of it) This is great for constants and such, but you can't rely on it to store state variables as, depending on the environment/server you run python on, you have no or little control of how or when the interpreter is restarted. With mod_python on *NIX for example, you have multiple apache processes each with it's own python interpreter. An apache process serves n requests, then it's killed and a new one is started. Subsequent requests from one client will not necessarily be served by the same apache process. So no, it's not safe to store important data there. It's better to use a session, database, or file based solution. > Suggestion, maybe there should be a mention of this in the views > tutorial?

The best way is to use template context processors as James Bennett
explained nicely on his blog [1].
http://www.b-list.org/weblog/2006/06/14/django-tips-template-context-processors
Here's how I use it:
myproject/my_app/context_processors.py:
def settings(request):
from django.conf import settings as config_settings
d = {}
try:
for key in config_settings.TEMPLATE_SETTINGS:
d[key] = getattr(config_settings, key, None)
except AttributeError:
if config_settings.DEBUG:
raise
return d
myproject/settings.py:
MEDIA_URL = 'http://media.mydomain.com/'
from django.conf.global_settings import TEMPLATE_CONTEXT_PROCESSORS
TEMPLATE_CONTEXT_PROCESSORS += (
'myproject.my_app.context_processors.settings',
)
# List all variables from settings.py that should be added to the
# RequestContext by the 'settings' context processor
TEMPLATE_SETTINGS = (
'MEDIA_URL',
'SITE_ID',
)
index.html:
...
...
The site id is {{ SITE_ID }}.
hope this helps
cheers

I've extended some of django's built in model and form fields to accept
an additional kwarg named 'html_attributes'.
It works like this:
class Whatever(models.Model):
...
title = models.CharField(maxlength=128,
html_attributes={
'size': 15,
'class': 'myCssClass'
}
)
content = models.TextField(
html_attributes={
'dojoType': 'Editor',
'items': 'formatBlock;textGroup;|;justifyGroup'
}
)
...
The fields are then rendered like:
Not perfect, but works for me.
I could wrap it up as a patch if someone's interested.

My first idea was, just as you propose, to create another inner class or
something which holds this kind of information. But I needed a solution
quickly and the hack I did worked without breaking anything else.
Also I only had to get my head around a small part of django's internals
to implement it. Hacking on the metaclass/inner class stuff is a
different kind of beast.
I guess we should discuss what kind of information should/could go into
this new inner class and figure out a good name for it so I or others

Hi Charlie
Instead of writing a patch, I've extended/wrapped djangos model and form
fields. This way you can update django without having to reapply patches.
You can find the code and instructions under [1].
Just for the record. I'm totally with Malcolm that this is not a pretty
solution and that in time there must be a better way.

Something like this should work:

I was published today :)
{% else %}
Nope, I wasn't published today :(

Hi Jarek
Don't know if this is related to your problem, but if you're using
sqlite the patch at [1] may help.
If this does solve your problem, and you have a moment, you could add
some more background info about the bug to that ticket and confirm that
the patch worked. I was in a rush when I created it and haven't yet
taken time to add some more info for the devs.

This is exactly the problem that the patch fixes.
In MySQL and friends a DateField is represented as '2006-08-07 00:00:00'
while in sqlite it's just '2006-08-07'.
The patch changes the archive_day view to test if it's dealing with a
DateField or a DateTimeField and builds the sql lookup args depending on
that.
Have you nuked any *.pyc files still lying around after applying the patch?
I had the exact same symptoms that you're describing and the patch
solved the problem.
hope this helps

Alternatively you can add django and your projects folder to the
PYTHONPATH, and define DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE as an environment variable
before starting your script
e.g.:
$ export PYTHONPATH="$PYTHONPATH:/path/to/django:/path/to/your/projects"
$ export DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE="myproject.settings"
$ python /path/to/my/cronscript.py
The second method is more flexible as your sysadmin can write a shell
script that sets up the environment and then runs your script. Like this
your script can be used on different servers without changing it.
hope this helps

Hi Dave
I've had similar problems and solved them like this:
myproject/validators.py
%<--
from django.utils.translation import gettext_lazy as _
from django.core.validators import *
import re
my_ansi_date_re = re.compile('put regexp here')
def isValidANSIDate(field_data, all_data):
if not my_ansi_date_re.search(field_data):
raise ValidationError, _('Enter a valid date in PUT FORMAT
DESCRIPTION HERE format.')
[more custom or overridden validators]
%<--
And in my models I do:
from myproject import validators
instead of
from django.core import validators
Like this I can override any of djangos validators or add custom ones
and they are all still available in one namespace.
hope this helps

Hi Dave
Good to hear you've found a solution.
I have yet only used my approach with validators that I've set myself by
passing them to the field constructors.
Guess it fails with the date related fields because django imports and
adds them automagically there.
cheers

Something like this should work:
mylist = Content.objects.filter(tag_id__range=(1,2,3,4,5))
or:
from django.db.models import Q
mylist = Content.objects.filter(Q(tag_id=1) | Q(tag_id=2))

Be careful with your use of the the double underscore __
It has special meaning in djangoland.

You can do this with CSS; create custom admin templates that include
some custom CSS code.
what i meant was changing the numrows for each textarea-field seperately.
e.g., a body-field needs more space than a summary (at least in my app).
why not thinking about extending the textfield-model with something like
"numrows=xxx"?
Maybe add css classes to textareas (or generally inputs) based on model
and fieldname?
e.g.:
class Article(meta.Model)
summary = meta.TextField()
body = meta.TextField()
becomes:
.article-summary {
width: 100%;
height: 5em;
}
.article-body {
width: 100%;
height: 10em;
}
That's how some other tools I've used do it.
I'ld prefer such a solution to values hardcoded in the model.

django development with eclipse and pydev

I've written an ant file that wrapps the django-admin.py functionality

Not perfect, but works for me :)
