admin site questions

I'm building a simple CRUD application to hold some data for our research group. After 2 hours I have the basic functionality working using the admin site only and no custom views. I just need to figure out if I can go ahead and deploy it using the admin site as the main user interface. So,

Re: How to get hold of a session after getting signaled?

As far as I can tell on the project source, the only place the "badge_awarded" signal is triggered is in the "award_to" method in the Badge class, which does not handle a request object. If you are calling something like "badge.award_to(user)" in one of your views, then you can modify the request

Re: CSRF verification failed when I use smart phone

What you want to compare is the expected token value and the token value the view received (via POST, PUT, DELETE, etc.). These values need to match. Printing out the token via {{ csrf_token }} in the template will show you the token that the view will receive when the form is submitted. This

Changing many-to-many using Admin Site never calls post_remove Signal

I have a many-to-many relationship which the Admin can change using the Admin Site. I use a ModelAdmin.filter_horizontal, but even with the default widget it's the same. I registered a receiver when m2m_changed, however it always only calls: pre_clear, post_clear, pre_add, post_add, in that

Re: using Django on an existing mysql schema

I'm certainly no Django expert, but I'm not sure if you can use the orm and an already existing database. However the documentation states that you can write all queries yourself, essentially not using the orm. However if you do that, I'm wondering why you want to use Django at all? And pushing

Thanks for always answering my questions :) I did read the documentation on uWSGI and I think I have an understanding now of workers and threads (from Webserver or uWSGI) and how it handles multiple users. For the signals and badge calculation, I did see celery pop up a couple of times and I

Re: Do Signals block Django process?

The number of threads is determined by the number of workers in your process that is serving the application, not Django itself. For example, if you are using uWSGI to serve the application, then you have a parameter "workers" in its initialization file that sets the number of process to spawn

How to get hold of a session after getting signaled?

Do Signals block Django process?

I just added django-badges to my project. Basically it can award Badges if Users fullfill certain requirements. For this, everytime I call user.save() django-badges receives the post_save() signal and starts checking. Now my project is similar to an online quiz, where users submit forms to

Dear Django developers, we currently have the following issue when upgrading from Django 1.5 to Django 1.6: https://github.com/etianen/django-reversion/issues/268 As it seems, since Django 1.6, middlewares are not supposed to be executed within the same transaction as the view function is.
