This idea is for customizing your comments ie having your own comments
app. You create a django app (that you want to use for comments), then
you reference it in the settings.py by using COMMENTS_APP. Make sure
to have the three attributes above in the custom comments app
__init__.py.
That's it you are done. But let me warn you that there are still some
tickets that help make the process easier.

Here's what I get when I try out with the auth views:

In [2]: reverse('django.contrib.auth.views.login')

So does it mean the admin doesn't work :)

If the user is logged in and you've RequestContexts enabled, then you
can
easily pass the username like request.user.username

This is not a specific case for comments alone but to any app that
uses
the User model.
> I guess this should retrieve the username of the currently logged in
> user instead of get_full_name()?
For any general web-application, every user is expected to enter his
details like first name and last name so it's not a usual case to have
both
of them empty.
But your point has been noted, will have a discussion with the core
devs before
taking this further.

Any help appreciated. The default location for serving static files (like css and js) is specified by the media setting in the settings.py file. But most users maintain separate directories for these and then serve them as static files by making changes in the urls.py file.

I am happy to announce the release of Django Check Constraints, a
Google Summer of Code Project. This project implements Value-based and
Range-based constraints in Django's models. The project will help in
server side validation at the database-level without writing extra
lines of code. Currently it support three databases Postgresql, Sqlite
and Oracle (these databases support check constraints natively).
Here is a sample model that uses Django Check Constraints:
class Product(models.Model):
prod_name =models.CharField(maxlength=50)
price=models.IntegerField()
discount =models.IntegerField()
tax_percent =models.IntegerField()
sale_start_date =models.DateField()
sale_end_date =models.DateField()
class Meta:
constraints = (
("check_price",Check(price__gte = 0) &
Check(price__gte = 'discount')),
("check_tax",Check(tax_percent__gte =
10,tax_percent__lte = 20)),
("check_name",Check(name__not_in__upper = ("PRODA","PRODB","PRODC"))),
("check_discount_neq",Check(discount__neq = 0)),
("check_date",Check(sale_start_date__between =
[date(2007,01,01),date(2007,12,31)])),
("check_date_start",Check(sale_start_date__lte = 'sale_end_date')),
)
The equivalent SQL generated on syncdb is (in Postgresql):
BEGIN;
CREATE TABLE "test_app_product" (
"id" serial NOT NULL PRIMARY KEY,
"prod_name" varchar(50) NOT NULL,
"price" integer NOT NULL,
"discount" integer NOT NULL,
"tax_percent" integer NOT NULL,
"sale_start_date" date NOT NULL,
"sale_end_date" date NOT NULL,
CONSTRAINT "check_price" CHECK ( ("price" >= 0) AND ("price" >=
discount) ),
CONSTRAINT "check_tax" CHECK ( ("tax_percent" <= 20) AND
("tax_percent" >= 10) ),
CONSTRAINT "check_prod_name" CHECK (upper(prod_name) not in
('PRODA','PRODB','PRODC')),
CONSTRAINT "check_discount_neq" CHECK ("discount" <> 0),
CONSTRAINT "check_date" CHECK ("sale_start_date" between date
'2007-01-01' AND date '2007-12-31'),
CONSTRAINT "check_date_start" CHECK ("sale_start_date" <=
sale_end_date)
)
;
COMMIT;

Mysqldb has certain dependencies to be to be fulfilled like "build-requires = python-devel mysql-devel zlib-devel openssl- devel" (pasting from setup.cfg). Check if you have these dependencies installed. Certain Linux Distributions like Debian, Ubuntu offer the latest Mysqldb package through their package managers (don't try this if you are on Fedora). I would recommend you install it from http://sourceforge.net/projects/mysql-python Cheers Thejaswi Puthraya --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.

Re: Ajax Form Submission Trouble
> I'm using mochikit
Try,
onclick="$('button_id').disabled=true;"
It is 'disabled' and not 'disable'.
Check out button properties at
http://www.w3schools.com/htmldom/dom_obj_button.asp
According the W3Schools...disabled works since IE5.0...so I see no
reason why it shouldn't work in IE7.0

Most javascript libraries handle the Ajax stuff as browser independent as possible (not always true though).

I was probably asked to post to the Django-users list for such
feedback.
I am open to suggestions/criticisms because they help you perform
better.
> 1) are cross-table constraints possible? E.g.
>

> )
> )
Haven't thought about this yetbut now its on my todo list.
> 2) do they support boolean constructs like the Q() objects do? E.g.
>
> constraints = (
> ('check_foo',
> Check(field__gte=100) | Check(field__lte=42)
> )
> )
This is supported.
> constraints = (
> ('check_foo',
> Check(Q(field__gte=100) | Q(field__lte=42))
> )
> )
This too I haven't thought ofstudying this feasibility.
> 3) namespacing for the constraints to prevent naming clashes?

One more item in my todo list now.

Yes they do get dropped cleanly.
Thanks for the feedback.

GSoC Update: [Check Constraints] New features and using it with Newforms.
Hello Django Users,
On public request I am posting this thread in this forum
This week I worked on getting the 'like' and 'between' check
conditions into the project and also writing a lot of doctests.
So here is how to use 'like' and 'between' check constraints
class Manufacturer(models.Model):
mfg_name= models.CharField(maxlength=50)
car_sale_start = models.DateField()
car_sale_end= models.DateField()
quantity_sold = models.IntegerField()
car_price = models.IntegerField()
class Meta:
constraints = (
("check_name",Check(mfg_name__like =
'Merc*')),
("check_date",Check(car_sale_start__between =
[date(2007,1,1),date(2008,1,1)])),
("check_end_date",Check(car_sale_end__gte = 'car_sale_start')),
("check_quantity",Check(quantity_sold__gte = 0)),
("check_price",Check(car_price__between = [1000,1])),
)
In the 'like' check data '*' matches 0 or more characters whereas '+'
matches a single character. (might go for a change, replacing '+' for
a '.')
'between' expects a two-element list which give the bounds for the
field.
The output SQL is:
CREATE TABLE "appname_manufacturer" (
"id" serial NOT NULL PRIMARY KEY,
"mfg_name" varchar(50) NOT NULL,
"car_sale_start" date NOT NULL,
"car_sale_end" date NOT NULL,
"quantity_sold" integer NOT NULL,
"car_price" integer NOT NULL,
CONSTRAINT "check_name" CHECK ("mfg_name" like 'Merc%%'),
CONSTRAINT "check_date" CHECK ("car_sale_start" between date
'2007-01-01' AND date '2008-01-01'),
CONSTRAINT "check_end_date" CHECK ("car_sale_end" >=
car_sale_start),
CONSTRAINT "check_quantity" CHECK ("quantity_sold" >= 0),
CONSTRAINT "check_price" CHECK ("car_price" between 1000 AND
1)
)
;
Here is a way of using Newforms and Django Check Constraints
http://thejuhyd.blogspot.com/2007/07/django-newforms-and-django-check...
This week I will work on adding support for the datetime field and
decide on whether to support the upper and lower functions.
Cheers

Re: How to display all my post data
> What method do I use to see all the POST elements? request.POST is a dictionaryuse any method that is convenient to you. For example: request.POST.items() request.POST.has_key() etc But remember that request.POST usually contains uncleaned dataso might have to clean them before you use them.
