An explanation of what you expect to happen and what is actually
happening for a start, along with any error message.
How are your trying to use login_required in your template? Your initial
paragraph says you are trying to use the login_required *decorator*, but
that is something that applies to Python code, not inside a template.

Malcolm

Like a percentile thing? That's a different question, and one to which Django doesn't have a complete answer as yet. order_by is literally just a sorting operation. It doesn't do comparisons. To do in-database comparisons, you need to use aggregate clauses, which don't currently have a representation in Django (this is one area I've been wanting to work on for some time now). There are other ways to do the comparsions (both in SQL and in your view).

The form has an attribute called 'cleaned_data', which can be
subscripted using the name of the field. Typos notwithstanding, your
code will end up looking something like:
class MyForm(Form):
field1 = CharField(max_length=20)
field2 = BooleanField()
def myview(request):
if request.method == "POST":
form = MyForm(request.POST)
if form.is_valid():
do_something_with(form.cleaned_data['field1'])
return HttpResponseRedirect('/some/url')
else:
form = MyForm()
return render_to_response('template.html', { 'form': form })

This will grab _all_ score objects, and sort them by baseball score.
If there isn't a baseball score, then 'baseball' will have a value of
None, which is still a sortable value.

It sounds like you're looking for a query like:
Score.objects.order_by('baseball')
That is, get all the Person objects, and sort them by the value of the
'baseball' score (
Score.objects.order_by('-baseball')
will return all the objects in reverse order.
However, it looks like your table is intended to be at least partially
sparse (i.e., every score object doesn't have all the values). If
this is the case, you may want to exclude some data from the list of
objects:
Score.objects.filter(baseball__isnull=False).order_by('baseball')
will get all the objects that have a baseball score (i.e., the
baseball score _isn't_ None), and orders them by the value of the
baseball field.
Hope this helps,

Using login_required with direct_to_template?
I'm trying to use the login_required decorator with the
direct_to_template generic view. I've read through the "Extending
Generic Views" section of DjangoBook (as recommended in a similar post

Here's my best attempt:
urlpatterns = patterns('',

{'template': 'main.html', 'login_required': 'True'}),
)
What am I missing?

QuerySet Question - Selecting a Single Field
Alright, new problem for you guys. Here's an example model in an app
called "scores", which contains all the scores for a particular
player:
# Baseball
baseball= models.PositiveIntegerField('Baseball Skill
Level', blank=True, null=True, maxlength=4)
# Bowling
bowling = models.PositiveIntegerField('Bowling Skill
Level', blank=True, null=True, maxlength=4)
# Boxing
boxing = models.PositiveIntegerField('Boxing Skill
Level', blank=True, null=True, maxlength=4)
(etc.)
Now, right now all the scores are lumped within this model. My
question comes in when trying to call these items in my views. Say if
I want to gather all the baseball scores and sort them. What would the
queryset call for that be? I've found things such as order_by and
such, but I usually just see ".all()", so would an easier way to do
this include splitting these up into separate models (which then
boggles my mind when I'm thinking of showing all of the inputs for
every model on a single page)?
This seems like my only roadblock before really getting somewhere with
this. So any and all help is apprecaited!

As Deryck noted, httpd.conf is referenced in apache2.conf; instead of putting virtualhosts in apache2.conf though, you can consider adding each individual site to sites-available. After it is added there, you can type: # a2ensite And it will list all the sites, select the one you want enabled.

One obvious source of forms is to create a form that matches a database object, so newforms provides tools to assist in creating forms for database objects, with an easy method for saving objects that are created/modified using that form.

If your model defines 2 decimal places, my initial reaction is that the form should show 2 decimal places by default. 2) You can override an individual element using the formfield_callback on form_for_model. The idea here is to provide a function that returns the form field when provided with a model field. The default implementation calls the formfield() method on the model field; If you want to use a different widget for just one field, you can provide an implementation for formfield_callback that overrides just one field. The newforms docs contain a description for how this works. Yours, Russ Magee %-) --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.

[Announcement]: WebHelpers for Django
Greetings! To boost my Django skills and show that Django can be JavaScript-ready from the start, I started porting Pylons Webhelpers[1] to Django, implementing them as templatetags. It is hosted on Google projects[2]. To show how it works, I created small Django project that implements basic Webhelpers features. You can find it in project's Download section [3] For starters I plan to port existing functions, but I have some ideas what has to be done more. Any suggestions and ideas welcome.

form_for_model, DecimalFIeld, and decimal_places
Hello again -- I'm creating a form using form_for_model. The model in question has a decimal field with 2 decimal places. The form, however, is displaying the field with one decimal place. I've googled and poked through the tests, but I can't figure out how to override this without creating an entire custom form, which seems like overkill. I'm sure I'm missing something, but... what? Any suggestions? Thanks! --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.

Django on MySQL Cluster
The mysql ndb (cluster) and MyISAM engines do not support referential integrity, and neither does sqlite. In looking around on this list and the web, i've noticed that django actually handles many of these reference features on its own. However, in the docs on django/mysql at http://www.djangoproject.com/documentation/databases/ it is mentioned that "Django expects the database to support transactions, referential integrity, and Unicode support (UTF-8 encoding)". Are there any features that might not work in django when using an engine such as ndb? Has anyone tried using django with MySQL cluster? Should there be any _other_ issues anyone can think of that might come up when using django with MySQL Cluster? thankyou -Richard Stevens --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.

Re: custom menus with ul,li
hi, i did the same. My solution is not as elegant but works ok for me:
model:
class Menu(models.Model):
createdate = models.DateTimeField(auto_now_add='True')
islive = models.BooleanField(default=True, help_text="Untick if you
do not want this to be live.")
position = models.IntegerField(help_text="enter a digit for manual
sorting, 0 is 1st.")
name = models.CharField(_("Name"), core=True, maxlength=19)
httplink = models.CharField(maxlength=250, blank = True, null=True)
parent = models.ForeignKey('self', limit_choices_to =
{ 'parent__isnull':'True' }, editable=True, blank = True, null=True,
related_name='child')
def __str__(self):
return self.name
class Admin:
list_display = ( 'position', 'name', 'parent')
pass
parent can point to it self, with the limit_choices_to i made it so
that you can only chose menu points with out a parent i.e. Root menu,
so this goes 2 levels deep.
Than i use a template tag to call the menu:
register = template.Library()
@register.inclusion_tag('cms/menu.html')
def menugroup(parent):
menu = Menu.objects.filter(parent__isnull=parent,
islive=True).order_by('position')
return {'menu': menu}
@register.inclusion_tag('cms/submenu.html')
def submenugroup(parentid):
menu = Menu.objects.filter(parent=parentid,
islive=True).order_by('position')
return {'menu': menu}
and here is the template:
menu.html (put the UL tag around it in the main template that calls
this tag, i use some fancy CSS to make it all look nice, its a
vertical flyout menu)
{% load menu %}
{% for menu in menu %}
{% if forloop.first %}
{% else %}
{% if forloop.last %}
{% else %}
{% endif %}
{% endif %}
{{ menu.name }}
{% submenugroup menu.id %}
{% endfor %}
submenu.html
{% for menu in menu %}
{{ menu.name }}
{% endfor %}
much more elegant would be to build the menu in the templeate tag
completly, if you look at the django ecommece shop Satchmo, there is a
much nicer example.
http://www.satchmoproject.com/trac/browser/satchmo/trunk/satchmo/shop/views
<- i thinks in there some where.
I did this when i started with django and python, so my skills were
very limited, still not much better ;) but getting there.

Form input to csv + file upload
Below is an example of the type form I used to process with a python cgi script. Now I am trying to move everything over to Django. Question: If I want to save the file to a directory and information about the submitter (e.g., name and time of submission) directly to a csv file, how would I do that in Django? Do you need 'newforms' to do that? In the documentation it seems that if you use newforms you would have to save everything to a database. Is that really necessary? For some of my forms I want to save information in a dbase that but probably not for all. I am getting the hang of templates and authentication in Django but forms look a bit more complicated.

Problem with postgres transactions
Hello all I am using Django 0.96 with postgresql 8.1 and psycopg2. The error handling does not work as I would expect it to. Specifically, anytime a database error occurs, all subsequent calls to the database fails with the error message "ProgrammingError: current transaction is aborted, commands ignored until end of transaction block". This causes unittesting to break, since the tearDown will try to use the existing database connection, as well as giving me strange error messages at other times. You vcan see an example of the latter at the bottom of my mail. I have found that I can eliminate the problem by substituting this line self.connection.set_isolation_level(1) # make transactions transparent to all cursors with this one self.connection.set_isolation_level(0) in django/db/backends/postgresql_psycopg2/base.py However, I am worried that whoever wrote that code did so for a reason ;-) Can anyone tell me: - If this is intended behavior or a bug. - If my change is likely to break anything, and if so, if there is another recommended solution Yours, u'Nis J\xf8rgensen' Appendix: As an example of the problem, see the following interactive session ./manage.py shell Python 2.4.4 (#2, Apr 5 2007, 20:11:18) [GCC 4.1.2 20061115 (prerelease) (Debian 4.1.1-21)] on linux2 Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.

For Ubuntu, they use /etc/apache2/apache2.conf as the main config and include whatever is in /etc/apache2/httpd.conf as additional directives. This is why httpd.conf is blank on an initial install. You can add the directives from the Django docs in httpd.conf or apache2.conf on Ubuntu. It's really just your preference which you want to use.

Ah, I see. For some reason I forgot to switch the urlencode filter over
to use django.utils.http.urlquote(). I'll fix that in the morning.

integrity error silently failing
Hi,
i got a simple example where a Model.save() that should raise
integrity/operational errors is not:
class one(models.Model):
fk_field = models.ForeignKey('two')
class two(models.Model):
description = models.CharField(maxlength=10)
In [1]: from webfi.sd.models import *
In [2]: One(fk_field_id=1)
Out[2]:
In [3]: One(fk_field_id=1).save()
The last line should have raised an integrity error but it does not. Db log
(PostgreSQL) shows:
STATEMENT: INSERT INTO "sd_one" ("fk_field_id") VALUES (1)
2007-06-05 16:55:38 [30666] LOG: duration: 0.345 ms statement: SELECT

foreign key constraint "$1"
DETAIL: Key (fk_field_id)=(1) is not present in table "sd_two".
a second 'save' results in:

And that's ok, but too late...
It seems to me too big a mistake so I hope I'm just missing something, if
not I'll file a new ticket for this. I think in no way a db error should be
ignored...
I tried with a fresh svn co of rel 5427.
Any comments?

Hi Ross, i read your blog posts with great interest. Very helpful stuff. The idea for a djangopowered sites replacement is also great. Looking at happycodr that seems to be quite simple and fast done. I´ll send you some screenshots later today of what i would do. I have a design laying around which I currently don´t use anymore because the site for this design went down.

Nothing in Django has changed recently that would do that (it would have had to be something in the template/ directory). How long since you last did a Django update? What else might have changed? It sounds like the template files are now being loaded as UTF-16 data from disk. Is that possible?

Yup. I thought I posted a response yesterday to this effect, but I guess it didn't take. However, in my setup 'mod_accesslog' is first, and it hasn't caused any problems (in fact, I think I had problems with it being last -- I'll have to see if I can reproduce this).

Sorry for not being clear -- I'm (obviously) not familiar with the mechanism of open source / django development.

However, I'm not sure where to start to come to grips with the concepts of "objects you are going to save", "build the form by hand", and "construct the save objects". I'm guessing that this means instantiating models, creating the form bound to data from several different model classes, then (on POST) instantiating new model instances, somehow unpacking the data from the form into the appropriate model classes, and saving the instances. If you can direct me to a simple example of a view that does this (including a many-to-many field in one of the models if such a field requires any special handling in the view) it would be greatly appreciated. I guess my three sticking points are 1) how to create a form from _several_ objects, 2) how to create the form from several _models_ when the user is trying to add new information and 3) how to instantiate the multiple save objects from the POSTed form.

Everything you are doing here is single-threaded and it doesn't even
query the database, as far as I can see. However, you should look
closeley at the do_import_xml() function, since that is the invisible
part of the code samples you have posted.
Try checking the return values from the save() method very carefully to
see that they match what you expect.

Import, save and render issue?
I have added a feature to my Django app which allows me to import data
from an external database. The data is in XML. I iterate over the XML
to import book descriptions. After each book is processed, I save()
it. Then I call render_response() to display the list of books just
imported.
However, the list has holes, i.e. not all fields are displayed. If I
refresh the page, all book fields are now displayed. So they were
there previously and some background process has now completed.
# view
def import_xml(request):
if request.method == 'POST':
post_data = request.POST.copy()
post_data.update(request.FILES)
form = forms.XmlUploadForm(post_data)
if form.is_valid():
list, log = form.save()
return render_to_response('book_list.html', {'log': log,
'list': list})
form = forms.XmlUploadForm()
return home_page(request, form)
# form.save()
def save(self):
xmldata = self.clean_data['xml_file']['content']
xml = ElementTree.fromstring(xmldata)
return do_import_xml(xml)
The issue goes away if I rebuild the book list manually before calling
render_response():
# revised view
def import_xml(request):
if request.method == 'POST':
post_data = request.POST.copy()
post_data.update(request.FILES)
form = forms.XmlUploadForm(post_data)
if form.is_valid():
list, log = form.save()
# NEW
list = Book.objects.filter(pk__in=[b.id for b in list])
# END NEW
return render_to_response('book_list.html', {'log': log,
'list': list})
form = forms.XmlUploadForm()
return home_page(request, form)
Why the different behaviour? Am I doing anything wrong? Is there a
cache concurrency issue?
I use Django v0.96 and sqlite3.
Both the development server and Apache+mod_py exhibit the same
behaviour.
I have tried using @commit_manually and @never_cache, without success.

Have a look at the iriencode filter (only in the unicode branch, so
you'll need to read docs/templates.txt from the source). This handles
the last stage of encoding to ASCII.
You cannot necessarily skip the urlencode portion, but you may be able
to. The reason is that the IRI -> URI conversion algorithm does _not_
encode things like '%', so it is safe to apply to something that has
already been partially encoded. However, if your proto-URL string
contains a '%' that should be encoded (e.g. "100%-guaranteed"), you will
need to pass it through urlencode first.
So {{ tagname|urlencode|iriencode }} is completely safe, although
possibly redundant (and even incorrect if tagname was something that had
already been URL encoded).
You might also want to read the section call "URI and IRI handling" in
docs/unicode.txt because urllib.quote() is not the most bullet-proof
choice when working with unicode strings. Reading your email, I just
realised I have forgotten to mention the urlencode and iriencode filters
in that section, but that will be fixed when I next sit down to commit
bug fixes.

Malcolm

proper and easy way to urlencode unicode string?
Folks,
I'm working on multiligual app using unicode branch and hit an interesting
bit yesterday.
I'm trying to present a (cyrillic) tag in url-ready form. Usually this is
solved by
{{ tagname|urlencode }}
But when the 'tagname' contains non-ascii symbols, urlencode barfs:
KeyError at /
u'\u0420'
Request Method: GET
Request URL:http://localhost:8088/
Exception Type: KeyError
Exception Value:u'\u0420'
Exception Location: /usr/lib/python2.4/urllib.py in quote, line 1117
Template error
My current (temporary) solution is to encode this manually, in python:
urllib.quote(tagname.encode('utf8')
But this is not DRY and makes me think there's a better way.
Or it's time to add a custom filter?

Oh how blind was that. Of course that was the problem, thanks a lot :)
After fixing that i got an "always false" instead of "always true".
The debug line with the == shows "News == News", but the won't
appear. I think i'm going to check for other stupid typos now.

issue with ifequal in a base template
Hi everyone,
i use django for a small fun website, and it's really fun to create
applications with it. Now i'm stuck with a behaviour i can't
comprehend.
I have a category list in my base template :
--[snip]--
{% if categorylist %}
Buckets
{% for catetory in categorylist %}
{% ifequal
category.name active_category %}{% endifequal %}{{ catetory.name
}}{% ifequal category.name active_category %}{% endifequal
%}
{% endfor %}
{% endif %}
--[snip]--
categorylist and active_category are supplied by a context processor
named categorylist :
--[snip]--
def categorylist(request):
active_category = None
if hasattr (request, "session"):
if "category" in request.session:
try:
active_category = Category.objects.get
(pk=request.session['category'])
except:
active_category = None
c = Category.objects.all()
return { 'categorylist' : c, 'active_category' : active_category}
--[snip]--
Both the category list and the active category appear in the template,
and the values are right. What fails is the ifequal statement in the
base template. The tags appear in the output if {{
active_category }} is None. If i choose a category the ifequal test
fails even if both values are the same.
Any Ideas?
TIA
Sven

This time around i would need a > different clean_email method. I think you're trying to do the work at the wrong point in the process. If you want to use the same form object for creation and updating, the asertion that "email is unique" is not a property of your form. Don't check it in clean_email, because it isn't universally true. If you already have a way of differentiating between "new" and "existing", then make your main form class be the "existing" case (does not check email uniqueness) and then subclass it for "new" and all the subclass does is add the new clean_email() method. You "create a new person" view then instantiates the sub-classed version. All code is only written once; no repetition. If you want to use exactly the same for object and act differently based on whether this is a creation or an update, it sounds like you need to add an "is new" flag to the form. You may want to randomise and encrypt this slightly to avoid spoofing, but it would certainly work around your problem easily enough: have the is_new field early in the process, clean_is_new will decrypt and unscramble the value and then clean_email, which comes later, can use that value to decide how to validate. I think the first solution is probably the most straightforward, though both will work. > How do I solve this problem? I could create a subclass of my form that > overrides the clean_email method, but there must be a better way. Why do you assume this isn't a good way? Subclassing of classes is designed for *precisely* this type of use case: you want to override a small portion of the functionality. > What would solve my problem is bound newforms not validating when > rendered unless .is_valid was called or .errors was accessed in the > view.

How can you hope to get away without validating your data in the long term, or giving the user feedback on their errors? You don't have to display the errors at rendering time if you don't want to, although it sounds a bit fragile. You can even dive in and modify Form._errors if you want to, but it doesn't seem necessary in this case.

newforms custom field clean method
I'm having some trouble solving a newforms problem that other people must have run into as well. Feel free to share solutions or workarounds if any. Let's say I have a RegistrationForm that is used for registering new users. It has the usual 'name', 'email', ... etc fields. When a new user registers, my custom 'clean_email' method is called that checks if the entered email address is already in use. If it is, this user has probably already registered, so i raise a validation exception. All this works as expected for registering new users. Now I want to provide the possibility for registered users to change their data. So I create the form instance, passing the user object's .__dict__ as data (form_for_model is not a viable solution in my case). The form is rendered with the correct data prefilled and the user can edit his data. The problem however, is that the emailfield is validated again, and the validationerror is raised saying that the email address is already in use. This time around i would need a different clean_email method. How do I solve this problem? I could create a subclass of my form that overrides the clean_email method, but there must be a better way. I don't think my use case is a once-off either. What would solve my problem is bound newforms not validating when rendered unless .is_valid was called or .errors was accessed in the view. There's probably a downside to this approach that I'm not seeing though. Are there previous discussions on this topic that I've missed?
