Re: possible to setup old project (different dependencies) as a library ?

As a person who has done this on 2 separate occasions, I also think that the best way would be to start a rewrite and upgrade ASAP. However, having said that. I think you COULD be able to run the old code in a django 1.9 environment, by checking for different methods. For example in django 1.4 a m

Re: Drop down dependent on two other form fields

Hi Arindam, I didn't find any really good solution, however, googling for "django dropdown dynamic", should point you in the right direction. Hope that helps. Regards, Andréas 2016-01-05 7:07 GMT+01:00 Arindam sarkar : > Hello, > In my project I have a from in which there is three drop down.

Re: Execute code which runs on the database only when the server is running - and doesn't need users to view pages.

Hi, Wouldn't it be possible to use celery and tasks for this purpose? http://www.celeryproject.org/ You could have it running all the time and have a flag in the database for when the server is running? Regards, Andréas 2016-01-11 9:59 GMT+01:00 Tony Flury : > I have a small background task (

Re: Execute code which runs on the database only when the server is running - and doesn't need users to view pages.

Oh ok, Sorry I misunderstood your problem. How about running the celery task and then checking if http://localhost is up? Regards, Andréas 2016-01-11 13:31 GMT+01:00 Tony Flury : > Andreas, > > Thanks for your answer. Certainly it looks like running celery might > alleviate the issue with thre

Re: Django Admin

Hi Rafael, I would use a plugin for django admin that creates an autocomplete field (django-selectable works). Then when the user chooses something in the autocomplete list, I would populate the other fields via ajax with the values that you need. That way you don'ẗ need a foreign key field (even

Re: django admin objectaction confirmation

Hi, Check how actions work in the admin interface. You should be able to create something that works the same by clicking on a button. See here: https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.9/ref/contrib/admin/actions/ The main point is that if you do a http get, you should show the confirmation page, and

Re: How to update a live / deployed Django project?

Hi, What I tend to do when deploying is: 1. Create a fabric script that contains a reference to the server that should be updated (defaults to dev server). 2. Use git archive to zip the contents of a git tag to a local file. 3. Upload the file to the server 4. Stop the uwsgi process 5. Update file

Re: How to update a live / deployed Django project?

The thing is, you should be able to catch those issues when migrating locally on you development machines. In that case, just fix the migration and then it should work perfectly in production. You can always add certain values in the migration scripts themselves. Regards, Andréas 2016-02-10 14:5

Re: Django Multiple User Login

You can't? Not without logging out the previous user. The session itself is used to contain a reference to the current user. You can only have one session to a certain domain (for example www.example.com and app.example.com are 2 different domains). The only way for the other user to login is to

Re: Bug or unaccepted behaviour

Hi, Would need to see more of you code to understand exactly what you want to do. Regarding your question. It doesn't make sense, but I think you are asking the difference between "u.theme_id = self.id" and "u.theme = self"? I don't know exactly the difference, but I do know that you shouldn't ha

Re: Migrate Data from Django 1.4 to Django 1.8

Hi, I did that a while back, I wrote my own SQL migration script that we tested with the production database in development. I think that would be the only way. Django doesn't know of the changes that you have made in your database models. However if you had started with the production database an

Re: context dictionary

Hi, All you have to do is add what you want to the dictionary that you need for your template. There isn't anything "magic" about the context. So for example, if you want to have a model called "user" in the template, you can add it by writing: context = {} context['user'] = User.objects.get(pk=u

Re: context dictionary

True, didn't know that it was active in that way nowadays. To Malik: Don't use user as a key in the dictionary. Regards, Andréas 2016-02-23 16:01 GMT+01:00 : > Wouldn't including the name 'user' in your context dictionary override the > authenticated user object in your template? Might make for

Re: Home Page

Malik, I find that in many of your questions you are thinking a bit too hard. If you want to have a view for the default page (home page) on a website, just create an app that will handle those pages. In one project that I am currently working on, we created an app called website. In that app we
