Oh I gotcha now.
Django model forms by default do not represent auto fields (ID's)
because it wouldn't make much sense for a user to be able to edit the
PK in a form. Having said that, I do understand why you need to be
able to see the PK.
I shown in my example, I personally prefer to represent
That shouldn't be a problem, after all templates are just strings as
are textfields.
If you have a model with your textfield in it as so:
class MyModel(models.Model):
template = models.TextField()
and you have a view which renders the template defined in the next
field
def my_view(request)
The stuff in the brackets are the optional arguments passed to the
"register" view.
You can read the documentation about the view at:
http://bitbucket.org/ubernostrum/django-registration/src/b360801eae96/docs/views.txt
Alternatively you can check out the code as well.

Take a peek at the Django forms documentation, specifically the

http://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/ref/forms/fields/
These fields allow you to specify a queryset to populate your form
select fields, this queryset can be the list of
Looks just like you have an error in your programming, the name of
your view is "Dpatas", then you attempt to later call
"Dpatas.objects.filter()" as if Dpatas was a model. The _CheckLogin is
coming from your use of the @login_required decorator I would imagine.
Hopefully that helps,

Assuming that you set_sub_date() function just sets the publish date
to when the item was created and easy way to do this is in the model
class PressRelease(models.Model):
pub_date = models.DateField(auto_now_add=True)
That will just set the pub_date to the current date when it is added

You need to have a 500.html and a 404.html defined when DEBUG=False.

ModelAdmin. You of course don't have to use
JQuery, but it is included by default in the admin and is quite

you reading? If they are the official Django tutorials that is most
likely a bug in the documentation.

Something like that might work for you assuming that the models and

who knows if it will actually work :)

You can convert the decimal returned by the form into a float, or
convert the floats into decimals and do your math. Converting to
decimal is probably more precise.

Looks like you haven't created any polls yet, at least not one with an
ID of 5. Go into the admin section described in part 2 of the tutorial
and make a few polls. Once you've create some you should see polls of
IDs 1,2,3 etc show up and the URLs should start to work.

That looks ok from a code readability point of view, however you will
still need to cast the form values to float or cast the float values
(i.e. pow(2,2) and pow(2*math.pi*v,2) to Decimals otherwise will you
will get an UnsupportedOperation exception.
