http://lightbird.net/dbe/ ... django by example help

Hi, I'm not very expert on python and django, I'm investigating now these incredible tools. I found online http://lightbird.net/dbe/ - "Django by example", an excellent tutorial to experiment with simple apps. I'm trying to work on the example n. 3 "Photo Organizer and Sharing App", but when I

Re: Should we have a database independent SQL like query language in Django?

It sounds to me like you are saying “Django ORM should be better”, which is true. But the entire point of SQL is that it’s a common database language. You don’t know what it was like back in the day when every vendor had a different language. Most queries that use a common feature set work fine

Re: http://lightbird.net/dbe/ ... django by example help

When you look at the web page, the code in the "Enhancing Admin" section is code that should be added to the code in the first listing. So the import statements that you need are already there. On Sunday, November 18, 2012 7:05:54 AM UTC-8, boxcarlo wrote: > > Hi, > I'm not very expert on pyth

Re: index_together...shouldn't indexes be created AFTER populating the table?

Hello Chris, You are correct that creating indexes AFTER importing data is generally the fastest approach, but there is currently no automated tool that will do this all for you. I actually did a blog post about this not so long ago, and it goes into some detail; http://blog.simplicitymedialtd.co

Django handles inheritance tables with entries in them plugged in?

To give an example: I create a table "Library" in which I create 3 Libraries. Then create a table "Author" in which three authors associate each of the three libraries created before, so far I can manage very well with ForeignKey ... I then create another table "Book" which will specify the title

Is there a way to generate documentation for the URLs supported by the app

Hello, We are developing our Django application such that the UI is completely client side MVC, and Django will serve either CSV data, or json responses for the UI to consume. In this regard, each URL is essentially an API for others to consume. (I am sure this is the new norm). Is the

Re: Reason for not allowing spaces in usernames?

(imo) Allowing spaces in username just isn't a very sane approach. Rather than telling the user to choose a username, why not make them login with their email address instead? Users are less likely to forget their email address, and if anything, it would be less error prone than a username would,

Apparently some weirdness can be caused by having email addresses as usernames in django, though I'm not sure specifically what this is. Does anyone know these cases? --- Elena :) @elequ On Mon, Nov 19, 2012 at 4:05 PM, Cal Leeming [Simplicity Media Ltd] < cal.leem...@simplicitymedialtd.co.uk>

Re: Reason for not allowing spaces in usernames?

If you need to do login via email address, it is possible right now -- it's just a little convoluted. You need to play around with custom authentication backends, and rewrite a bunch of forms. In Django 1.5, we're addressing this by making the User model customisable. That means you can specify th

Re: Reason for not allowing spaces in usernames?

One obvious problem case -- email addresses longer than 30 characters. The current username field has a 30 character max, which is easy to exceed if you try and put email addresses into the username field. Django 1.5 addresses this by allowing your user model to be customisable, so you can make th
