This is the kind of thing you forget, since it just works once you have it configured. But if you plan to serve media other than admin, you'll want to nest the admin media dir inside your regular media url. So maybe you want MEDIA_URL = http://mysite.com/media/ and ADMIN_MEDIA_PREFIX = 'http://mysite.com/media/admin/' > Anyway, want to say thanks again to everyone for chiming in, this is > one of the friendliest and most helpful user groups I've had the > pleasure of participating in.

As a hack, you could have a stub view that just decides if it's the current month or not, then dispatch either of 2 real views, each with its own cache_page. For an actual solution, more detail's needed. How many other parameters from the request come into play? If a small number of permutations, you could bake all the data (that is, pull requests into a flat file to be served cheaply later, in which "invalidating cache" is deleting a file). If you decide to use the low-level cache due to too many permutations, this is the general approach: expensive_thing = cache.get(some_key) if not expensive_thing: expensive_thing = expensive_process cache.set(some_key, expensive_thing, cache_timeout) You can, of course, do that as much as you want. I have some views that do two or 3 phases, in which I cache a whole resultset, then munge or whittle it depending on parameters and cache that bit with a more fine-grained key.

(You don't need to worry > about this unless you're using the Admin app.) Jeremy - Thanks for the in-a-nutshell overview. I am in fact using the admin app, so that was my first hurdle to clear before getting fancy. I currently have the admin interface working. In my virtual host file I added: DocumentRoot "/var/www/mysite" SetHandler None SetHandler None In my settings.py, I now have: MEDIA_ROOT = '/var/www/mysite.com/media/' MEDIA_URL = 'http://mysite.com/media/' ADMIN_MEDIA_PREFIX = '/media/' Does this look about right? /var/www/mysite is empty other than the 'media' subdirectory. I suppose I could have apache alias requests to / media/ to whatever folder. I'll get fancy after some sleep ;). Once I get things settled, I'll try to contribute lessons learned to the wiki. Anyway, want to say thanks again to everyone for chiming in, this is one of the friendliest and most helpful user groups I've had the pleasure of participating in.

Help with a Caching Strategy
In one of the applications I maintain, I use a view that takes the following inputs, crunches a lot of data from over the course of a month, and spits out a view: def month_detail(request, year, month, check=True): This could be the current month, the previous month, a month 3 years ago, etc. The information pertaining to the current month is updated every 15 minutes (if there's been new data in the past 15 minutes), so I would like to make that information only cache for 15 minutes at most. It would be super cool to invalidate the cache (or not) at the moment I update the data, but it's not mission critical. For someone to visit the site every 15 minutes and get new data for the current month is just fine. However, the data for previous month's is done and set in stone pretty much at the beginning of the next month. Data for the previous month might roll in for a few days into the new month, but in general, once we roll into the new month, it's a done deal. I would like to cache those pages forever, or maybe invalidate their caches when the rare bit comes in after the month is over. Long story short, my current approaches haven't yielded any fruit. I'm not sure that I can cache one view two different ways by using the cache_page function. Perhaps I need to dig a little deeper into the caching mechanisms? How would people with more experience with caching+Django approach this situation?

Hmmm, I'm not sure the documentation is actually accurate. When you use manage.py to run up development server for Django, it will automatically add the parent directory of where the manage.py file is located into sys.path for you. Thus, there isn't strictly a need to add it to PYTHONPATH to get it to work in the first place. So, the answer is that YES, for mod_python you must use the PythonPath directive to specify the parent directory of where manage.py is located in order for your settings file to be found correctly.

MEDIA_ROOT is used for uploads (like FileField and ImageField. MEDIA_URL should be the service URL matching MEDIA_ROOT; it is also used in things like Model.get_FIELD_url where FIELD is the name of an ImageField on your model. Probably, you want your doc root to be some prefix of MEDIA_ROOT (or MEDIA_ROOT itself). MEDIA_URL would be the portion of the MEDIA_ROOT not included in your apache doc root (or '/' if the same).

Re: ubuntu 6.06 deployment issues
Hello, Your problem could be that the permissions to /home/john-scott do not allow directory traversal down into this directory for "other" users. You probably need to do: $ chmod 0755 /home/john-scott $ chmod 0755 /home/john-scott/workspace $ cd /home/john-scott/workspace $ find -type d | xargs chmod 0755 $ find -type f | xargs chmod 0644 Your home directory probably contains important files that you don't want to be accessible by "other" users so you might consider creating a separate user account specifically for Django.

ubuntu 6.06 deployment issues
Hello all, I'm having some issues getting a basic django project in production mode. I'm using Ubuntu 6.06 LTS with the default versions of apache, python, mod_python, etc. - I've checked out the development version of Django in my home directory, i.e. /home/john-scott/workspace/django_src and I've symlinked it to /usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/django as per the official installation instructions. - I've created a Django project in /home/john-scott/workspace/mysite following the tutorials exactly. The official documentation suggests keeping the django app code outside of /var/www for security purposes and to instead keep the code in a user directory (the specific example is '/home/mycode'). Everything works great with the development server. However, I've encountered nothing but problems trying to go 'live'. I'm using the following virtual host configuration, which again is modeled after the official docs: ServerNamemysite.com #obviously not the real url ;) SetHandler python-program PythonHandler django.core.handlers.modpython SetEnv DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE mysite.settings PythonDebug On With this setup I get the following error: ImportError: No module named django In another thread (http://groups.google.com/group/django-users/ browse_thread/thread/e44569d185e36284/) someone said there were permission problems but their solution was to place the django_src in / opt and change the symlink accordingly. If I follow this, then the first problem goes away but then I get the following error: EnvironmentError: Could not import settings 'mysite.settings' (Is it on sys.path? Does it have syntax errors?): No module named mysite.settings In the same thread the user also put the projects in /opt as well. The real problem seems to be the Apache configuration, so I'm not convinced the answer is to throw everything in /opt, especially since none of the official docs suggest to do such a thing (IIRC the user in that thread didn't have control over apache, so they had to be creative). I've followed all the official docs quite literally. Is the suggestion in the docs to keep your projects in /home/username incorrect? Or is there something about the Apache configuration in Ubuntu 6.06 that makes deployment a wee bit more complicated than the docs suggest? If so, should the official deployment guides have a note about these gotchas? Once I get this ironed out in a sane way I'd be happy to add a write-up to the SeverArrangements wiki page.

Difficulty validating ModelMultipleChoiceField
I can't get a form to validate and for the life of me, can't figure out why. I keep getting an error on the topics. Regardless of how many I choose, it returns an "Enter a list of values." error. It looks like even though the form returns a list of topics, it doesn't send the list to the validator, just a single value.

I don't really understand SQL, and I'm very happy to let Django write it up for me. When I write it, I'm never sure if it will exactly fit what Django expects, or if it will be efficient (Should I define some columns as indices? As relations?) If my method was available, I wouldn't have to write a single line of SQL, and I would still be able to do whatever I want.

Filtering foreignkey results with newforms form_for_model
I have an "Event" model that has a foreignkey relationship with "Club", and I'm using form_for_model to create the form. This spits out all "Club" entries in a dropdown. The trick is, "Club" has a boolean field for "approved", and I want to filter according to that. So, is there some way to filter it? At the newform level. Should I get 'club.objects.filter(approved=true)' and pass that to form somehow (maybe form.club = approvedclubs)?

Re: Stopping second form post if refresh is hit?
> I am using HttpResponseRedirect... it still seems to allow a > duplicate post though if refresh is hit on the page it's been > redirected to. Is this happening when a user clicks the Submit button twice before the redirect comes in (thus Django processes two requests from the same originating page, rather than from the response-page)? You can minimize double-submits via a little JavaScript code, disabling the submit button in the onclick before submitting. However, this doesn't 100% solve the problem, particularly if JS is disabled (whether by browser limitation, or by user choice, such as the wonderful NoScript plugin for FireFox which I use regularly) To prevent this, you need to uniquely identify the page from which it was submitted (a hash of the IP address, timestamp the form was generated, user info, whatever) and then only allow that identifier to be processed once. You'd have to keep a model of "recent posts". If the hash is in there, the request you're currently trying to process has already been processed. It would be good to have this table auto-purged after some reasonable amt of time, such as a couple days or a week. Huzzah for cron-jobs :) If you wanted to get fancy and your app had need of it, you could hash the submitted data from the form (including the initial unique identifier). This would allow the user to click their Back button, return to the form, make changes and submit it a 2nd time. This can be useful in a data-entry scenario where you want to ensure that the 2nd submission actually has new data, not the same data from accidentally double-clicking the submit button. It's nice to have the usage pattern of "fill out the form; submit the form; click the back button; change something; submit the form; click the back button; " Just a few ideas, -tim --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.

Strange translation/encoding problem
Hi list, my django is completely utf8-configured. I'm using I18N and my msg-ids (po-files) are utf8-encoded, too. But now I've run into a strange problem: Translation of strings containing non-ascii characters is working great in templates, but it fails if I try to translate non-ascii strings in a view. For example, this get's translated without problems: {% trans "Lösung" %} But this one fails: from django.utils.translation import ugettext as _ def index(request): teststring = _("Lösung") [...] This exception is raised when the view is called: -- Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/local/lib/python2.4/site-packages/django/core/handlers/ base.py" in get_response 77. response = callback(request, *callback_args, **callback_kwargs) File "/usr/local/django/myproject/../myproject/portal/views.py" in index 8. teststring = _("Lösung") File "/usr/local/lib/python2.4/site-packages/django/utils/translation/ __init__.py" in ugettext 61. return real_ugettext(message) File "/usr/local/lib/python2.4/site-packages/django/utils/translation/ trans_real.py" in ugettext 274. return do_translate(message, 'ugettext') File "/usr/local/lib/python2.4/site-packages/django/utils/translation/ trans_real.py" in do_translate 258. return getattr(t, translation_function)(message) UnicodeDecodeError at / 'ascii' codec can't decode byte 0xc3 in position 1: ordinal not in range(128) -- Why does it work within templates but not within views??

After successfully handling a POST, best practice is to redirect. This forces the browser to do a GET, and hitting refresh won't do another post.

Stopping second form post if refresh is hit?
On most of my form posts, I redirect to another page once I save whatever data has been posted on the form. ( I am not using new forms, and in some cases I'm even using old fashioned hand rolled forms to post from a view. ) In the cases where an existing record is being edited, this doesn't really matter, but when a user adds a new record, and I redirect him to the page to view all of the objects in that table, if he then hits refresh, it adds the record again due to a second form post. Is there a way to stop this? I figure there must be, but perhaps I wasn't searching with the correct key words.

If you'll be doing insert/update/delete, Django will get confused. If you only need read-only access, you can create a shim view over the table, and set the Model's db_table to use the view. If you need write access, I'm afraid you're on shaky ground with Django.

That doesn't work, I've tried that, it still hangs the view. Give it a shot with a long python script (while True: time.sleep(1) would do) and you'll find that the view never returns.

So, any help are welcome. You may want to have a look at mod_wsgi (www.modwsgi.org) and the following instructions for Django: http://code.google.com/p/modwsgi/wiki/IntegrationWithDjango It contains a few different recipes. For what you want, one Django site per VirtualHost run using mod_wsgi daemon mode would be the best. To trigger a restart of the process and thus reload any changes, they can send a SIGINT signal to the httpd process which is owned by them. One could even have a web page in the application itself which triggered: os.kill(os.getpid(), signal.SIGINT) This will cause the process to be shutdown and restarted at the end of the request. The other alternative is to turn on interpreter reloading, which will result in the Python sub interpreter being destroyed within the running process when the WSGI application script file is modified, and a new sub interpreter created with any changed code. How reliable this works depends a bit on what third party C extension modules are being used. Interpreter reloading is controlled by the WSGIReloadMechanism directive and is documented in: http://code.google.com/p/modwsgi/wiki/ConfigurationDirectives A discussion of issues related to interpreter reloading can be found in section 'Reloading Python Interpreters' in: http://code.google.com/p/modwsgi/wiki/ApplicationIssues If interested in this and have further questions let me know.

I'm unclear what you're asking here - you say you don't want to use Django helpers, but they you ask about RadioSelect.

Or do I have to do something like > changing the form's fields attribute by hand? Using formsets from newforms-admin will be the easiest way to do this. However, if you don't want to go down that path, you can use the existing forms code without hand coding the id attributes. When you create the form instance, you can specify a prefix that is used for the name and id for each input on that form. e.g.,: MyForm = form_for_model(Phone) form1 = MyForm(prefix='phone1') form2 = MyForm(prefix='phone2') .. will generate two form instances; all the field names and id's for form1 will be prefixed by 'phone1', and so on. This avoids the inevitable name/id clash from having multiple instances of the same form on a page. This is true of _any_ form, whether created using form_for_model, form_for_instance, manual definition, or anything else.

You might want to consider this change - although it might be a bad idea if you envision multiple characters per account int he future. > But the app that contains Guild has another model that is linked to > the Character model. > > class GuildMember(models.Model): > guild = models.ForeignKey(Guild, > db_column='guild_id', unique=True, primary_key=True) > account = models.ForeignKey(Account, > db_column='account_id', unique=True) > character = models.ForeignKey(Character, > db_column='char_id', unique=True) > The use of "unique=True" here looks wrong. As written, a Guild has at most one Character, and a Character has at most one Guild. Is this really what you want? If so you might again consider using two OneToOneFields. But I suspect you really mean 'unique_together (('guild'),('character')). Anyway, the database design looks quite bad ... the "account" field in GuildMember seems redundant (assuming it points to the account of the character). It is not clear whether Character.guild corresponds to Character.guildmember_set()[0].guild - if they are always the same, the table structure is not normalized. I guess the root cause of your problems is that you cannot easily model a ManyToMany relationship between models in different apps. As Malcolm suggests, the solution is probably to not have two apps.

No there is no setting for this because it can always be auto-detected and set. Remember that there is a difference between what the client side talks and what the database server wants to see ("client" here means the Python database wrapper). All Django database backends do conversion to and from the database client's expected character encoding. This might then be converted to an encoding suitable for the server or the database or database table in question (some databases allow per-table encoding, or even per-column). Obviously, if your database can only store iso8859-1 data, you will need to ensure you don't send it any data that cannot be re-encoded to this character set. There's no really good way to automatically handle restrictions of that nature -- the correct error handling depends on the application and user base -- so it is up to the developer to not submit invalid data. For most backends (I think Oracle is the exception), Django will not quietly throw away unencodable data. It (or the backend) will raise an encoding error.

Modify Session in TemplateTag?
So I realize I'm doing something non-standard here, but still I have my reasons, and if I can pull this off, it'll make life easier for me in the future. .. is it possible to save to the Session within a TemplateTag? I don't really see how it is, but I'm hoping someone knows something that I don't. For fun I hacked this together, which *almost* works. For some reason it does not immediately modify the session, it waits one page load before making my changes.
