Re: robots.txt?

You can always put a urlconf that will match "robots.txt" and return a
simple http response...

There's no limitation - one could always create a contrib app that

Re: TypeError when accessing a RelatedManager?

[orestis]

OK, I got it. I was defining my own managers on Episode, and there was
no default manager. Adding an objects=models.Manager() solved it.
Maybe this should be added to the documentation? Should I create a
ticket?

Re: newforms and FileInput

[orestis]

I think (I'm not sure that it does nothing, and you have to manually
use request.FILES to get the file you want, and manually upload it to
wherever you want. Please someone correct me if I'm wrong.

It's a kludge for now, but I think (hope) Adrian is working on it...
If it worked automatically (the simplest case is to access the file
via the form field) it would save a lot of manual work...

newforms - filling a custom form with data from a model instance

[orestis]

Since form_for_model isn't nearly finished yet (regarding with
FileFields and customization - or I just can't find how it works), I
have decided to just repeat myself and create my own forms.

I thought that it'd be very intuitive if a form instance gets bound to
the data from a model instance, but it seems it doesn't. To clarify
things:

def MyForm(newforms.Form):
  field1=newforms.CharField()
  field2=newforms.CharField()


def MyModel(models.Model):
  field1=models.TextField()
  field2=models.TextField()


m = MyModel.objects.get(pk=1)
f = MyForm(f) # this should pre-populate the form with the data from
the model, but it doesn't.
#In fact, nothing even gets displayed on the screen...

Am I assuming something wrong ? I'd love to use form_for_model, but
I'm using compound models (it's a user profile, really) and it's not
very useful, as I'll still have to customize it extensively.

Or should I just display more than one form on a page ? Meaning:

def myview(request):
  form1 = MyForm1(request.POST) # some fields are here
  form2 = MyForm2(request.POST) # some other fields are here
  #save the forms.

The user will see just one form, but it'll be split behind the scenes
to map to different Forms and Models...

Do I make sense ?

Thanks :)

Re: newforms - filling a custom form with data from a model instance

[orestis]

What I have done is this:

@classmethod
def load_from_model(clazz, model):
data = {}
fields = clazz.base_fields
for field in fields.keys():
try:
data[field]=getattr(model,field)
except AttributeError:
print field, "is not present in", model
#add non-simple mappings here. eg:
data['esso']=model.child.esso
form = clazz(data)
return form

def save_to_model(self, model):
model.user.first_name = self.clean_data['first_name']
model.user.last_name = self.clean_data['last_name']
# more here...
model.save()
model.user.save()

it's violating the DRY principle, but at least it's only in one place,
the form Declaration, so it's easy to change. For more trivial use
cases (no compound models etc), I think that the form_for_model will
generate the same results.

newforms - outputting dates in the same format as input

[orestis]

As it stands, the when using a newforms.DateField with specified input
formats, it gets parsed alright, but when rendering the form there is
no way to specify the output format, it gets printed as -MM-DD.

This not only is a bad localization practice, it makes _using_ the
input formats impossible, since when re-submitting a populated form
without changes, you get validation errors.

I can't find a ticket for this... Surely I'm not the first to bump
into this ?

Calling all translators - handling international date display

[orestis]

I'll give you a short description here:

The date filter doesn't have any internationalization or localization
knowledge built-in. This plays havoc with languages that have genders,
cases etc (Greek, German, French and many more) and use them in
displaying dates.

There is a discussion at

http://groups.google.com/group/Django-I18N/browse_thread/thread/3f5dfb2a9a10f904

and a ticket at

http://code.djangoproject.com/ticket/4147

that aim to correct this. I have a proposition for my own language
(Greek) but we have to see the big picture here, and make as
unobtrusive changes as possible, per Malcolm's request. So please come
to the discussion and share your thoughts on this.

Alternative ForeignKey selection interface in admin

[orestis]

Hello,

I've searched and I didn't find any good answers on this:

When you use the admin interface to specify a foreign key on a model,
you get a nice little drop-down with a cool plus button to add more.
This is manageable for about 10-20 entries. For more, there are
issues:

a) Usability goes down as it is hard to find and click and make sure
that you've selected the right instance
b) The text representation of the ForeignKey model may not be enough.
A notable example of this are images.

The solution is very simple: Make an option so that the user can use a
popup, using something like the list display of the admin (which
should have search fields set), so he can filter down the options he
has. He should be able to view the whole object (not just the __str__
output), issue search queries etc.

Is there a way to hook up something like this ? I don't mind writing
my own list display for this (in fact I think it should be an option)
but how can I override the widget the admin produces ?

I think this is common enough to be addressed centrally.

BTW, is this about to be implemented on newforms-admin ? The
documentation is a bit cryptic.

PS. As I typed this, an idea struck: Use raw_id_admin, then use some
JS functionality to open the pop-up, display a normal view of objects
etc, and use a callback to set the id in the admin. Good for a quick
hack, but ultimately the raw_id_admin doesn't cut it. A good example
is again images: When an image is selected, you should be able to see
the image - or the thumbnail. A text string or an id tells very
little.

I'd appreciate any feedback on this...

Re: Alternative ForeignKey selection interface in admin

[orestis]

OK I'm stupid :)

It seems that raw_id_admin actually does this already. I didn't notice
that before...

So never mind :)

Help on custom edit_inline admin template

[orestis]

I've created my own edit_inline class so I can override the template.
This was easy. However, due to lack of documentation, I'm busting my
head trying to figure out how to do this:

I have an Article that is connected to a Photos model using the
ArticleImage model like this:

class ArticleImages(models.Model):
article = models.ForeignKey(Article,
edit_inline=ArticleImageRelatedObject, num_in_admin=5,
  max_num_in_admin=99,
num_extra_on_change=3, related_name='article_images')
photo = models.ForeignKey(Photo, raw_id_admin=True)
number = models.IntegerField(core=True, help_text='Delete this to
delete the image')

I have copied the ArticleImageRelatedObject from the
TabularRelatedObject:

class ArticleImageRelatedObject(BoundRelatedObject):
def __init__(self, related_object, field_mapping, original):
super(ArticleImageRelatedObject,
self).__init__(related_object, field_mapping, original)
self.field_wrapper_list = [FieldWrapper(field) for field in
self.relation.editable_fields()]

fields = self.relation.editable_fields()

self.form_field_collection_wrappers =
[FormFieldCollectionWrapper(field_mapping, fields, i)
   for (i,field_mapping)
in self.field_mappings.items() ]
self.original_row_needed = max([fw.use_raw_id_admin() for fw
in self.field_wrapper_list])
self.show_url = original and hasattr(self.relation.opts,
'get_absolute_url')

def template_name(self):
return "admin/articles/articleimages/
edit_inline_tabular.html"

I've just extended the template.

What I would like to do, is to display another link next to the
'show_url', which has value related to the ArticleImage object. I
can't for the life of me figure out how to access the original
ArticleImage instance from the ArticleImageRelatedObject.

Please help!

You ca use:

lookup the dates function of the QuerySet.

My django-related blog

[orestis]

I've sent this to Jacob to be included in the blog roll, but since he
hasn't responded still, maybe the email somehow went missing.

So, drop by my blog:

http://orestis.gr/

and leave a comment. I plan to have a lot of write-ups about the
making of it, and as I discover more features of Django I'll post
them.

I'd appreciate a comment!

Difficulties with thread locals

[orestis]

Hello,

I'm having a weird python error, and I can't seem to find out what's
wrong.

I wanted to extend the site framework, so I can use it for
multilingual content. The way to do this is to override the SITE_ID
with a function:

import threadlocals
def SITE_ID():
  lang = threadlocals.get_current_lang()
  if lang=='en': return 1
  else: return 2

I've also added the ThreadLocals middleware discussed in the CookBook
[0]. The problem is, I think, the funky code path of django settings.
I see the ThreadLocals middleware imported 4 times, and, all in all,
there are different threadlocal objects that of course return
different results.

Is there any way to troubleshoot this ? Am I missing something big
here ? I know the sites framework wasn't designed to do this, but it
seemed a natural extension for me.

To rephrase: Is there a way I can guarantee that the threadlocal
object I create in the middleware will be the same that the SITE_ID
function in the settings file will get ?

Re: Difficulties with thread locals

[orestis]

OK, after digging around the django source, it seems that the database
cursors, where the SITE_ID is read runs at a different thread. I also
looked into the translation framework, it uses "currentThread" to
fetch the current active translation. So what should I do ? This is
tricky stuff...

Re: Difficulties with thread locals

[orestis]

I see. I noticed this was tricky stuff.

I guess that setting the SITE_ID each time will lead to race
conditions etc, right ?

So it's back to the drawing board. Using sites for multilingual
content was cool because it allowed me to use the built in
functionality of django.contrib very easily...

So if this could be changed it'd be nice! Any ideas ?
Thanks

Different django versions on same host

[orestis]

Hello,

I think this will be easy to do, but I just want to check:

Is it possible to have different Django versions on the same host, and
point my sites to different versions ?

I'd like to use bleeding edge for personal stuff (yay for
experimentation) but for any work-related material, I want stability,
so I'd use 0.96 or whatever version is out and stable at the time, to
minimize headaches...

I think it'd be as easy as putting two different django versions like
this:

django96
django-trunk

under site packages

and use in my settings file:

import django96 as django

right ?

Or should I just use the PYTHONPATH env variable to point to the right
django installation ?

Has anybody done this ?

Re: View (maybe middleware?) question

[orestis]

I've done something similar to this, putting the site language in the
url.

Basically you create a middleware process_request, that will take
request.path and set it to something else.

For example you might do:

request.path = "/app/theme/view/"

parts = request.path.split("/")

request.path = "/"+parts[0]+"/"+parts[2]

theme = parts[1]

#do something with the theme...

return None

Then your urlconfs will go on without knowing about the theme logic.

Beware, though: This can lead to many strange errors when this catches
paths you don't want to be processed. You also have to worry about
search engines. It might be better to apply the same middleware to
extract something from the session/query parameters.

Problem with flatpages and absolute urls

[orestis]

I have a problem with flatpages.

When putting links in my templates, I use absolute URLs without
prepending http://hostname.com/

For example, Home gets interpreted by the browser as a
link to http://hostname.com/, and all is correct.

However, when a flatpage is being served, those links get interpreted
literally, so the link now is http:/// which is of course useless.

I suspect this is something to do with the 404 response that triggers
something in firefox.

So what am I supposed to do ? Should I prepend everything with the
hostname ? How can I get the current site (so I won't couple the
template to the site) ?

Thanks

Re: Problem with flatpages and absolute urls

[orestis]

OK never mind about this. It was my error, I was creating some URLs
like this:

/{{var}}/path1/path2/

and sometimes var wasn't set so the url becomes:

//path1/path2/

which replaces everything in the browser...

Weird 404 errors

[orestis]

Hello,

I have recently published my humble blog on http://orestis.gr

I get a stream of weird 404 errors in my email inbox, but for the life
of me I can't figure out what's wrong.

Here are some examples:

>Referrer: http://orestis.gr/en/blog/2007/05/06/international-part1/
>Requested URL: /blog/2007/05/06/international-part1/feed2.png
>User agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.8.1.3) Gecko/20061=
>201 Firefox/2.0.0.3 (Ubuntu-feisty)

However, the feed2.png icon is referenced normally at /static/images/
feed2.png, and I can't figure out how this request is made (short of
typing it into by hand, but I don't think this is happening)

Also:

>Referrer: http://orestis.gr/en/blog/2007/05/07/adding-preview/
>Requested URL: /blog/2007/05/07/adding-preview/en/comments/postfree/
>User agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-GB; rv:1.8.1b2) 
>Gecko/20060821 Firefox/2.0b2

You can recognize the /comments/postfree/ part, as part of the comment
form, I add the /en/ part for my multilingual implementation. The form
action is correctly set as "/en/comments/postfree/".

The puzzling issue is that when I navigate to my site (using both my
and other people's computers) I get no errors, no 404, nothing. I
suspect that these are just broken spiders that don't know how to
manage relative urls, but I'm not sure.

Any ideas ?

Re: Unicode and django/db/backends/util.py

[orestis]

usually encode('utf-8') is needed only when printing the strings. You
can pass them aroung without problem.

BTW, unicode chars should appear like '\u0345' ... I'm not so sure
about that though.

Displaying number of visitors

[orestis]

Following this thread:

http://groups.google.com/group/django-users/browse_frm/thread/f11c67142c7dd71a/2bdeb945f7bf2232?lnk=gst&q=visitors&rnum=2#2bdeb945f7bf2232

It is mentioned that to display a list of visitors (anonymous and
logged in) I have to use the session framework.

However, in the docs, I can't find anything that does what I want.

So I ask: How can access from the session object ALL visitors so I can
display in my site:

"7 visitors currently browsing the site, 5 of them are already
registered"

Or something like that ?

Display related foreign key values in Admin - but not inline

[orestis]

Hello, I have a model of EnglishWords and GreekWords. EnglishWords are
referenced as a ForeignKey in GreekWords, ie one EnglishWord may have
more than one GreekWords referencing it.

I would like when going in admin to edit an EnglishWord to see what
Greek words are referencing it, and be able to click on each GreekWord
and go to its edit page.

If I use edit_inline, I suppose I'll get a huge select box of all the
GreekWords there, and I don't want that. 

Thanks!

And I wonder: Won't the django.fcgi file described in the docs create 5
processes each time a user hits it ? Shouldn't I just run it from the
command-line to spawn 5 instances of a server, then change the
django.fcgi to route requests/responses to the already created
instances ?

Please help!

Flup error log

[orestis]

I've been browsing the rails mailing lists for a while, they seem to
have a fastcgi.crash.log that gets all the fastcgi problems, instead of
passing them to the apache error.log

Is there any way to do this with flup ?

Re: Displaying number of visitors

[orestis]

OK, I did it. Unfortunately, the session table is using pickled data,
so the processing has to be done in django. Here it goes:

In views that you would like to refresh the active state of a user,
add:

request.session['last_seen']= datetime.datetime.now()

Then, in a util.py :

from django.contrib.sessions.models import Session
from django.contrib.auth.models import User

import datetime

time_limit = datetime.timedelta(minutes=10)

def get_active():
sessions = Session.objects.all()
active = []
now = datetime.datetime.now()
for s in sessions:
s_dict = s.get_decoded()
if 'last_seen' in s_dict:
last_seen = s_dict['last_seen']
if now - last_seen < time_limit:
user = User.objects.get(pk=s_dict['_auth_user_id'])
active.append(user)
return active

Then, just create a template tag that prints out the users.
Maybe this should be moved in the docs/wiki ?

How the @$$#% can I debug FastCGI errors ?

[orestis]

This is driving me CRAZY!

The FastCGI logs show nothing (the stupid incomplete headers message).
However, I get my custom FastCGI error page. (internal_error.html).

My site is on and off every 5 minutes, I can't stand it. I've contacted
the host (dreamhost) but I've yet to get an answer.

PLEASE PLEASE someone if you know how to deal with this stuff drop a
line here.

Thanks

Re: How the @$$#% can I debug FastCGI errors ?

[orestis]

Nope, unfortunately this doesn't help with fastcgi internal errors.
Even if debug = True or debug = False, if there is an internal fastcgi
error, you won't get either the django error page, or the flup error
page. Instead you get a standard 500 server error (in Firefox at least)
which I can replace with an html page named internal_error.html.

Sorry if that was confusing. My app is working fine, I suspect this is
a host issue, but I have no data to back-up my claim... And it is
driving me crazy.

extending the auth model to display more fields in admin

Order of request - sessions processing ?

[orestis]

OK, I'm having a silly problem:

In one view I set a property in the user's session.
Then, in the template returned by the same view, a custom template tag
queries the database Session objects and displays a message depending
on the property set before.

However, this doesn't work the first time. Only after the second time
does the template tag "get" the modified session.

I would like the processing to happen in the following order:

request -> my view modifies session -> session is saved in the db -> my
template tag reads sessions -> render response

However, I imagine that the order is like this:

request -> my view modifies session -> my template tag reads sessions
-> render response -> session is saved in the db

And this is why it works the second time round. Is there any way I can
call save() on the session explicitly ?

Re: Order of request - sessions processing ?

[orestis]

Ah, I tried to call the session middleware directly, but now I see that
the render_to_response actually calls the tag processing code. So here
is what I did:

def save_session(request):
session_key = request.session.session_key or
Session.objects.get_new_session_key()
Session.objects.save(session_key, request.session._session,
datetime.datetime.now() +
datetime.timedelta(seconds=settings.SESSION_COOKIE_AGE))


and I call this function if I want to prematurely end the session.

It is already in trunk

- I can't find any documentation on this or a template tag that uses
it.


It shouldn't be that hard to implement though...

Re: fcgi and shared hosting

[orestis]

Well, my experience is:

You should totally make sure that there are no errors in your
application. Even small ones that normally wouldn't cause django to
hiccup may cause strange things with FastCGI.

Also you should add the needed 404 and 500 pages needed for FastCGI.
Check about 404 errors from the CSS, favicon etc. There should be no
errors about these things on apache's error log.

Saving arbitrary data without database

[orestis]

Hello,

I would like to save some arbitrary data that there's no point in
keeping in a database.

It's just a float number really, that some of my models will use, and
it will be updated using a cron job. It will not presented in a
template, just within some methods of a model.

What the heck, here's the full description:

I have defined a next() method that returns the next entry to be
updated. I want this to have a different behavior according to the
state of the data already present in the database. So I have made some
code that analyzes the current data and produces a threshold between 0
and 1, then I generate random numbers and decide what behavior to
choose depending random()>THRESHOLD.

The THRESHOLD will be calculated via a cron job - that's not a big
issue.
The issue is, how can I store the new value somewhere so everyone can
just import and use it ?

Instead of pickling and unpickling, I was wondering if Django has some
datastore for this kind of thing...

AFAIK, to create instance variables, you have to define them in the

Re: extending the auth model to display more fields in admin

[orestis]

Sorry to cause misunderstanding.

Anyway, thanks to the great #django channel, I figured this out:

def hack_user(sender, args , kwargs):
sender._meta.admin.list_display=('username', 'email', 'first_name',
'last_name', 'is_staff', 'date_joined')
pass

from django.db.models import signals
from django.dispatch import dispatcher
dispatcher.connect(hack_user, sender=User, signal=signals.pre_init)

This is called on the creation of every User instance, I hope it won't
cause too much overhead...

Best configuration for small VPS

[orestis]

Hello,

I got a trial server at budgetdedicated.com, seems very nice. The price
is comparable to shared hosting, everything seems fine.

Anyway, I'm interested in minimizing memory usage. What kind of
configuration is preferred for that ? lighttpd or apache2 ? mysql or
postgres ?

I'll have to figure out why I have 10 mysqld instances eating 45M out
of 64M of memory. Each apache2 process eats about 7M of memory.

I sure will add memory if the load is too big, but I'd like to make
sure I use the most efficient tools.

BTW the distro is ubuntu dapper.

Thanks everyone!

Re: media files with django dev-server

[orestis]

You mention dev-server, yet you talk about apache and lighttpd.

If running the dev-server, you shouldn't do anything, since it figures
out itself how to serve files.

If you're running apache, either with mod_python or with mod_fcgi, you
should just create a link to the /foo/bar/admin/media directory in your
www directory.

You then have to edit settings.py to tell the admin where to look for
its media.

Re: media files with django dev-server

[orestis]

Look, there are two distinct things here:

a) The admin media, which physically resides on
django/contrib/admin/media and which the dev-server serves
automagically and

b) Your own media, which you are responsible of serving, either in
production or development mode

Here's what I do:
For admin media:
ADMIN_MEDIA_PREFIX = '/media/'

this results in the following url in admin (generated):



For my own media, I use the following url (hand coded):

href="/static/a/b/c/style.css"

Then, for the development server:

Admin media: Do nothing
My media: add the following line to the main urls.py

urlpatterns += patterns('',
(r'^static/(?P.*)$', 'django.views.static.serve',
{'document_root': 'D:/orestis/django/static/'}),
)

Where 'D:/orestis/django/static/' is the directory which holds the
media.

For the production server:

Admin media: Create a link named "media" under the root www directory
that points to django/contrib/admin/media
My media: copy the static directory mentioned above to the root www
directory. Comment the above added line in urls.py

So your www directory should have:

media (symlink)
static (directory with your media)

Then you have to instruct your webserver to deal with those two
directories as it would, ie. without any django processing.

...
I hope this clears things up.

Re: How to make tables generated by Django be utf8 encoded by default?

[orestis]

Here is a proposal: Why don't these SQL files generated by default by
the django-admin.py startproject utility ? They would start empty, with
just a comment:

--place initial data commands here, alter tables, whatever

Also, since django uses utf-8 from top to bottom, it makes sense to
make utf-8 an option for the database, or at least be able to specify
it in a Meta directive in a model class...

Should I post this in a ticket ? Hey, maybe I'll even write a patch
about it! I'm so excited about django, I want to give back!

Why don't you follow my advice then ? It works 100% for your case.

you can change the admin_media_prefix to /admin_media/, and you can
have your media files under /media/ (as it is now)

You have been presented several solutions that work. It's up to you now
:)

Automatically starting the FastCGI server

[orestis]

Hello,

I'm new to linux administration, but I try to learn :)

I have managed to make lighttpd and postgresql start automatically upon
reboot, now I need a way to make manage.py runfcgi to start
automatically.

I tried to put this in my lighttpd.conf:

fastcgi.server = (
"/django.fcgi" => (
"main" => (
# Use host / port instead of socket for TCP fastcgi
 "host" => "127.0.0.1",
 "port" => 3033,
#"socket" => "/home/user/mysite.sock",
"check-local" => "disable",
"bin-path" => "/usr/bin/python /path/to/project/manage.py
runfcgi method=threaded host=127.0.0.1 port=3033",
"min-procs" => 1,
"max-procs" => 32,
"max-load-per-proc" => 4,
"idle-timeout" => 60
)
),
)

but it didn't work.

Has anyone made this work ? An init.d script would be nice too, as I'd
like to run the django fcgi server under a different user.

Thanks!

Re: Hi, i have been having trouble with django encoding...help, please!

[orestis]

Make sure that the page is actually encoded in UTF-8.

Open it in notepad, then save it again chooding UTF-8 in the encoding
drop down.

Then open it again and see if it is displayed correctly:
a) In notepad
b) In a browser (statically served)

I had zero problems with django and encodings, I had to make sure I
saved all my pages as UTF-8. Using Pydev in Eclipse made me "set and
forget" this kind of stuff.

[Ticket Rejected] Random ProgrammingErrors when using PostgreSQL

[orestis]

I got this ticket rejected from Akismet:

This is not related to #852, as the errors are thrown when running the
application normally, not the shell.

The errors I get are:
{{{
  File "/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/django/db/models/base.py",
line 166, in save
cursor = connection.cursor()
  File
"/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/django/db/backends/postgresql/base.py",
line 46, in cursor
cursor.execute("SET TIME ZONE %s", [settings.TIME_ZONE])
ProgrammingError: ERROR:  current transaction is aborted, commands
ignored until end of transaction block

SET TIME ZONE 'Europe/Athens'
}}}

I have tried issuing the statement SET TIME ZONE 'Europe/Athens' using
psql and it runs fine. So, it seems that the problem isn't related to
the time zone, rather the statement before the SET TIME ZONE is to
blame.

However, this is completely random. Most of the time everything runs
fine, then this will pop-up. hit refresh and everything is OK. I can't
track this down. This has happened on a project using mostly flat
pages, on requests that didn't save to the database, and on projects
using save.

I'm running postgres 7.4.13 psycopg 1.1.21, Centos 4.4

Re: Random ProgrammingErrors when using PostgreSQL

[orestis]

HURRAY I fixed it.

For the record, this was my problem - no bug in Django.

I have imported semi-automatically some values from a previous version
of my app. I had to use the same Primary keys in order to keep all the
relations. However, I didn't adjusted the postgres sequences, so they
tried to insert primary keys which already existed.

It's strange I didn't get the error though. I had to use the python
shell to find that out.

Re: Automatically starting the FastCGI server

[orestis]

Thanks!

I am trying to make lighttpd spawn the fcgi django processes using
bin-path but there seems to be a problem. Here is my setup:

fastcgi.server = (
"/myproject.fcgi" => (
"main" => (
# Use host / port instead of socket for TCP fastcgi
 "host" => "127.0.0.1",
 "port" => 3033,
#"socket" => "/home/user/mysite.sock",
"check-local" => "disable",
"bin-path" => "/home/path/to/myproject/start.sh",
"min-procs" => 1,
"max-procs" => 1,
"max-load-per-proc" => 0,
"idle-timeout" => 0
)
),
)

Any ideas ?

Anyway, I made my first shell script to easily type start/stop to
start/stop the fcgi server:

start.sh
=
PROJECTNAME=myproject
echo Starting $PROJECTNAME ...
DIR=`dirname $0`
exec $DIR/manage.py runfcgi method=prefork host=127.0.0.1 \
 port=3033 maxrequests=50 maxchildren=8 maxspare=3 minspare=1 \
 pidfile=/var/run/$PROJECTNAME.pid

==

stop.sh
=
#!/bin/bash
PROJECTNAME=myproject
echo Stopping $PROJECTNAME ...

kill `cat /var/run/$PROJECTNAME.pid`
rm -f /var/run/$PROJECTNAME.pid
=

I'm sure they can be more sophisticated... But they work for me. If
anyone can spot glaring omissions, stupid mistakes, easy improvements,
fire breathing dragons etc. let me know! Probably they can be included
to the django project templates after some tweaking, no ? Make it easy
for newbies (like me) to start the fcgi server in a new project.

Well if you want to target every second, tenth etc. element you can use
the cycle tag.

If you want to highlight the tenth entry because it is special, you
should define it as special in your view code.

If you want to highlight arbitrary entries, well, then... I don't know.
Why would you do that anyway ?
