Override table name(s) in application deployment

2011-03-24 Thread Flo Ledermann
Hi all, I was quite surprised that I couldn't find a way to override table names for an application's models on a per-deployment basis (i.e. in settings.py or some other project/site specific file instead of modifying the models.py file of the app itself) Although I admit all of these are rare, I

I am sorry folks, I just found the corresponding issue: http://code.djangoproject.com/ticket/9245 however, i would still be interested in discussing the reasons behind this - and why the patch provided in the ticket did't get applied yet ;) flo --~--~-~--~~~---~--~-

Why is (db) Field.form_class hardcoded to TypedChoiceField if field has choices?

2009-06-25 Thread Flo Ledermann
choices are defined, if form_class is a subclass of ChoiceField an if so, leave it alone. Otherwise the default (TypedChoiceField) can be used as it is the case now. What do you people think? I could open a ticket if feedback here suggests so. All other suggenstions regarding my code are welcome!

Shortcut for combining "with...as" and "include" template tags?

2009-01-20 Thread Flo Ledermann
Hi all, in my templates I often use combinations of "with...as" and "include" for modularization of HTML building blocks, like so: {% with "save" as label %}{% include "components/button.html" %}{% endwith %} however, this is a bit cumbersome if used frequently or if multiple variables must be

2009-01-09 Thread Flo Ledermann
Malcolm, thanks for taking the time to clarify the concept for me. I can see now that Django's approach is valid if one takes a form as a specification of what "has to be there" (hence the exclude mechanism in ModelForms) and not, as I did, of what "could be submitted". I still have a vague feeli

Hi all, after some more thinking, the workaround I came up with is now: if form.is_valid(): for key in form.cleaned_data.keys(): if not key in request.POST: del form.cleaned_data[key] form.save() This removes all values that are not found in the original request from the form da
