Question from django beginner
Hi everyone,
I'm new to django so perhaps those are really simple questions so
sorry about that:
I had an php page already working (css formatted, imgs and
everything), it's a very simple page for uploading zip files to a
server. The server (system Apache 2.2.4 with django) has already the
main app powered with django, so Apache is configured to go through
django. I tried to do the fileupload through PHP, but couldn't figure
out how to make main django app and php fileupload page working
together. As soon as the \location tags of python,django were added to
httpd.conf, PHP page stopped working.
SetHandler python-program
PythonPath "['D:\MainwebServer'] + sys.path"
PythonHandler django.core.handlers.modpython
SetEnv DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE server.settings
PythonDebug On
SetHandler None
SetHandler None
CARGAR MODULO PHP
#Loadfile "D:/PHP/php5ts.dll"
#PHPIniDir "D:/PHP/"
#AddHandler application/x-httpd-php .php
#AddHandler application/x-httpd-php-source .phps
#AddType application/x-httpd-php .html
So my first question goes here: Does anyone know how to share both PHP
and django pages in the same web project ?
Anyway, My 2nd move was to try to make the fileupload by using django
itself, so here I already have a rather simple upload page, it works
already but I want to add some more stuff:
1. As I had already the PHP page working I have all the design done
(css, img, etc) I don't know how to easily "move" the html design to
the django template (tried to point to MEDIA_ROOT but css doesn't
apply)
Here's my template
Analyst DEMO server
{% block body %}
Subir fichero ZIP a servidor DEMO
{{ form }}
Resultados de subida.
{% endblock %}
and here's the old php page, it uses javascript to show/hide some
labels once the fileupload was performed and if it was success or not:
http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml";>
Main DEMO server
<!--
function startUpload(){
document.getElementById('upload_process').style.visibility =
'visible';
document.getElementById('upload_form').style.visibility =
'hidden';
return true;
}
function stopUpload(success){
var result = '';
if (success == 1){
result = '<span class="msg">Fichero correctamente subido!<\/
span><br/><br/>';
}
else {
result = '<span class="emsg">Error al subir el fichero!<\/
span><br/><br/>';
}
document.getElementById('upload_process').style.visibility =
'hidden';
document.getElementById('upload_form').innerHTML = result +
'<label>File: <input name="myfile" type="file" size="30" /><\/
label><label><input type="submit" name="submitBtn" class="sbtn"
value="Enviar" /><\/label>';
document.getElementById('upload_form').style.visibility =
'visible';
return true;
}
//-->
Main DEMO server
Subiendo fichero...
Fichero (zip):
So:
2. Is there any built-in opton in Django (0.97 version) to unzip
files. I would need to unzip the file to a folder once the upload has
been done.
Thanks a lot in advance for the help

include
Hi guys,
I have a fileupload template and I would like to show a .gif picture
during the upload process once the user submits a file to upload, it's
working already but .gif is not animated while waiting for fileupload
completion. On the other hand, if I include a frame in the form action
call, the gif gets animated but it doesn't go further to the
upload_success template, I mean it stays showing the ...loading
withthe animated .gif forever.
here is the piece of the template (like this it stays showing the
animated .gif forever):
<!--
function startUpload(){
document.getElementById('f1_upload_process').style.visibility =
'visible';
document.getElementById('f1_upload_form').style.visibility =
'hidden';
return true;
}
//-->
[...]
{% if not is_ok %}
{{ msg }}
{% else %}
{% endif %}
Cargando...
{{ form }}
Then I have my view from what I'm calling the template, as I said
everything works (with unanimated loader.gif if I don't include the
target parameter inside the form action line. Without the target, as
soon as it finishes uploading goes to POST and executes the django
view.
I would like to know if this approach is valid, I mean if I can
combine calling a frametarget and going to my django view after the
process has been completed. if not How can I show the animated .gif ??
Thanks a lot in advance

redirect to results
Hi everyone,
I am a bit confused about how to do what follows, I would appreciate
any help.
My django project is very simple I have a upload zip page, this page
processes a zip file and it is being decompressed and stored in a
folder for further purposes.
After I check and unzip the file I call the return_to_render
return render_to_response('upload_OK.html', {'nombre': filename,
'size': filesize, 'type': filetype, 'msg': msg, 'is_ok': isOk,
'zip_list': zf.namelist(), 'item': file_inzip})
I have a link in the upload_ok.html that is supossed to show the files
inside the zip file (see below)
[...]
Analyst DEMO server
Subiendo...
{% if is_ok %}
{{ msg }}
{{ size|filesizeformat }}
Tipo de archivo: {{ type}}
http://aux/
unzip_results/">Visualizar ficheros descomprimidos
[...]
The problem is that i have already the template that shows the results
and it works if I change the return render_to_response line by another
call to a different template. as the variables that I need are all in
the same function (check, unzip and store in a folder).
If I change the return render_to_response line by:
return render_to_response('unzip_OK.html', {'nombre':
filename,'zip_list': zf.namelist(), 'item': file_inzip, 'iNum':
iCount})
it works as it shows the results. The thing is that I would like to
only show the results if the user wants to, once he sees that the zip
has been correctly processed (by clicking at the link)
How am I supossed to implement this, Can i pass parameters to another
function that calls the second return render_to_response ?
Thanks in advance
Vince

Did the django tutorial change recently?
A couple months ago I was working through the django tutorials and ended up having to take a break for a while. I believe they were on the djangoproject website. However, I can't seem to find the tutorial I was working on before, which started with pages that could display the time based on what you entered in the address bar and led to using books, authors, and publishers as an example to demonstrate database functionality. Does this ring a bell? I'd really like to pick up where I left off if possible, so please let me know.

Re: How can I re-use the filtering and sorting from the admin pages in my view?
I asked about this same issue a while back because this is a feature
that I think would be really handy. Not sure how feasible it would be
however.
I put something together after reviewing of the html source of the
admin pages. I did *not* look at the python source (too complicated
for me :). It worked but it is not exactly pretty :) I cut out a bunch
of stuff from my own application that you don't need. I left in the
qstring stuff which can be useful if you have links on your page and
you want to remember the sorting order and stuff when you return to
the page.
Best,
Vincent

include statements for non-dynamic pages
I am trying to learn Django to convert a site where I use php + python
cgi scripts. For consistent layout i would use php's include statement
for headers and footers on the old site. It is mentioned the Django
book that something similar exists for Django. Suppose i want to
create a home page (index.html). What would i need to do exactly to
get the following to work?
{% include("design/index_nav.html") %}
Welcome to the home page
{% include("design/footer.html") %}
If you have suggestion for better solutions with templates i'd luv to
hear them.
Thanks,
Vincent

What's the best way to auto convert a model field values before it is rendered?
I need to store and retrieve temperatures in a model. I'd like to store all the values in celsius. However some users prefer to view the value in fahrenheit. What is the recommended way to setup a model like this? Perhaps manually convert the values in the view and on save? Or is it possible to use python properties in a model for saves, updates and gets? Or is some other practice preferred? class Temp(models.Model): user = models.ForeignKey(User, unique=False) temperature = models.FloatField(null=True, blank=True) -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.
