Starting a Django Project the Right Way

Hi all, I found this on the internet and thought I should share it. http://www.jeffknupp.com/blog/2012/02/09/starting-a-django-project-the-right-way/ By the end of it all, you should have: 1. A fully functional Django project 2. All resources under source control (with git) 3. An environment in

You are probably right to be honest. I might be overdoing it with seperating things apart. I guess sometimes I'm too efficient! Here's some more to chew on though: I also want to point out the reason why I am trying to bring one model into another. MadTrak/ manage.py MadTrak/

Re: ignore field during form validation

In the end I came up with a solution which seems a bit hacky but does exactly what I want. It looks like this: def clean(self): cleaned_data = super(Form, self).clean() check = cleaned_data.get("check", None) # ignore 'len' when 'check' is False if not checkand "len" in self._errors:

I did what you said and put an third parameter on the track view and it worked. I think it's not an good practice, because is maintaining useless data, but for now its ok, at least the listing is done :D I still have to learn to use those regular expressions, its kinda tricky =/ Anyway, thanks

Re: ignore field during form validation

You could remove "required=True" from 'len' and override clean() to perform a multiple-field validation. (pretty much what Thomas mentioned) len() will execute -- it will check to see if it's an integer. If you just want to completely ignore it, then do exactly as Thomas said, override. But you'll

Hi all, Let's assume i have to the following simple form: class Form(forms.Form): check = forms.BooleanField( required=False, ) # take into account only when 'check' is True len = forms.IntegerField( min_value=3, max_value=5, required=True, )

I partly agree with the above question. It's a solution, but you usually never want to use your production database on a development server. As for his problem, I would look into fabric. You can easily write a function that dumps data from one database and into another. On Thursday, July 26,

Sithembewena, Have you considered using the same database for staging and production? Then the problem would be solved by purging the old test data they no longer want, which I think would be much easier than partial, conditional synchronization. Kevin On Thursday, July 26, 2012 6:10:33 AM UT

I'd appreciate some help with the following problem, under Django 1.4 When running with the models, forms and view as described below, the data from the form is *not* saved into the model. However, when using the test code (shown at the end) in a shell environment, the data *is* saved as expected
