rendering fields in newforms
Say we have class MyForm with IntegerField called 'year'. When we instantiate MyForm, say a = MyForm() we can get it rendered in html before passing to template - a.as_table(); This will contain all errors, previously entered data - if we instantiate MyForm from request.POST. The question is, how to get rendered field? I mean, only rendered field 'year' without the rest of the form? We can pass a.base_fieds['year'] to template - but how to do this before rendering the template? What I found out is that there is a class called BoundField and we can get it via unicode(a['year']) - however, this renders widget only, without data or errors. How to display them? Of course I can get rendered template and then work with it - but due to specific of my app, it raises UnicodeDecodeError, because it gets merged with non-unicode string afterwards.

For many cases, there's no benefit at all and using save() is by far the most understandle way to code something. However, a save() method applies to a particular model class. If you want to implement some functionality that operates across multiple types of models, you need to use the signal infrastructure, since the same signal is raised no matter what the type of model (you can differentiate the model type in the signal handler, though). So for model-specific stuff, use save(). For something that is intended to act across multiple model types, use signals.

Not at the moment, no. Please remember when considering the admin for a particular task that the admin application was designed to be used only by people you *trust* -- if you distrust them to the extent that you have to hide parts of a model from them, then they probably shouldn't be "administrators" of your site. -- "Bureaucrat Conrad, you are technically correct -- the best kind of correct." --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.

Re: Admin: Hiding fields from certain user groups
We have done this before by creating a second model with a different fields definition in the Admin class, and then assigning the model to the same database table by specifying db_table in the Meta class. This allowed us to specify separate access permissions on each model, even though both models were manipulating the same table. Kind of a hack, but it worked.

Thanks for your suggestion, I've just done that:
class FakeObject(object):
def __init__(self, url):
self.url = url
class MainSitemap(Sitemap):
priority = 0.8
def items(self):
return [FakeObject('/'),
FakeObject('/archives/'),
...
]
def location(self, obj):
return obj.url
sitemaps = {
'index': MainSitemap(),
...
}
Any thoughts about this implementation?

signals vs. save()
Hi, What is a benefit of using django signals instead of modifying the save() method ? Reading some code, I've noticed that many use counters columns in Models, and update with post_save() signal instead of doing this in save() method ? I understand them as it avoids of doing counts all the time (if not using cache). Example: nr of posts posts in forum thread, scores.. etc. When should I use post_save() and when should I use save() ?

Re: Path problems
I figured out the problem. I had missed adding the top-level module to one of my import settings lines. The problem was that even with the debugging output, the actual problem line never showed up in the exception trace.

Re: Hosting for Django
Hi Christian. I've tried a few hosting setups in the paste year with various degrees of success too. I've never been able to get a good, stable fcgi setup myself. In the end I've settle of webfaction. They have a very good setup with you own apache instance + mod_python, and it's very affordable. Great support as well. If you need more control, meaning root access, a VPS will probably be your best bet. Also, (mt) is working on a django-container. > But I was disappointed the minute I knew they'd be running it off lighttpd + > fcgi.

If encrypting the answer in the image filename, the encryption scheme would have to be somewhat secure (or at least obscure enough to fool bots). I should think a simple symmetric algorithm using settings.SECRET_KEY. It needn't be a strong form of encryption, since the pay-off from breaking it hardly justifies even the smallest computation time (for the bot, that is). The simpler the algorithm, the lower you server load, too. Do note that it must be symmetric, since you need to be able to decrypt the answer. > Furthermore I don't see a real reason to generate images on the > fly instead of storing them directly.

Writing images to the filesystem makes scalability more challenging and increases the potential for race conditions. I avoid it as a matter of principle whenever possible. Really, though, it's your code, do things however you want. My guess is that django.contrib apps need to be a little more flexible, though. It should be possible to use the app with or without filesystem writes (which are not an option for all sites). I'm also under the impression that the django core devs are generally not huge fans of Captcha systems, but I could be making that up. -Forest signature.asc Description: Digital signature

Path problems
Hey all, I'm trying to deploy a project I've been developing for a long time and, in preparation, have tried to move everything (including settings.py, etc.) into one overarching module. So, here's my setup: /dmi __init__.py manage.py (which I realize I now can't use) settings.py urls.py /assignments /calendar /orgs /recommendations /shared This is all inside a src folder in my Eclipse workspace. When I run django-admin.py validate --pythonpath=/home/tobryan1/workspace/dmi/src/ --settings=dmi.settings I get dmi.orgs: No module named settings dmi.recommendations: No module named settings dmi.shared: No module named settings dmi.calendar: No module named settings dmi.assignments: No module named settings 5 errors found. I'm sure the problem must be something to do with my path and where Django apps expect their settings to come from, but I can't figure out what's going on. I've searched for explicit mention of settings in my apps, but don't see anything. I thought maybe I needed to use configure() or something, but I thought the --settings option to django-admin.py would handle that. Does anyone see the problem?

First, thanks for the reply. I must note that I've been running on apache/mod_python for some time now, and it's pretty nice. I have not tested a fcgi setup yet, but I'm trying to find the time.

Re: Hosting for Django
Christian, I would think that the 'best way' is whatever suits you. If you're used to mod_python/mysql/apache, then use those. If you're more comfortable with a tinyhttpd/fcgi setup then use that. You'll find links on how to use these two setups on the main django site: http://www.djangoproject.com/documentation/modpython/ http://www.djangoproject.com/documentation/fastcgi/ If you've used neither then I would suggest trying the mod_python/ apache route as you can then server the django app and the media all from the same place (if you want to). Hope that is of some help. Thanks, David On 15 Jun 2007, at 11:53 am, Christian M Hoeppner wrote: Hi there! This is a message for all those that have been successful in deploying django.

I need to resolve this now so a workround is going to be essential. I've looked through the loader.py code and although I understand the principle of what it's doing I'm not proficient enough in Python to execute the work round with ease. My problem is how I can get the source filename of the object that is sending the signal and compare with that in the imported models. I was planning to do this in the function that is run from the desptacher.connect statement. For example - When I save to Table1, I want to update a total in Table 2. In my function, I was hoping to get the sourcefile name of the sender (Table1) and then check this with the imported models - wherever these reside. Can you suggest a method (or line of code) that will help me establish the source details for comparison. If the two don't match, I was then going to pass, so that it avoided the duplication.

CSS on dev server, same old problem
Hi,
I still don't understand if the Djangos' dev server allows the usage
of css files on a web page or if it only allows accessing the files
directly (for ex. http:something:8000/proj/appsmedia/css1.css shows
the css code on the browser).
If it does allow the usage of css on templates then here is my code:
On the urls.py:
(r'^manager/appsmedia/(?P.*)$', 'django.views.static.serve',
{'document_root': '/nobackup/reis/Project/Manager/templates/
appsmedia'}),
On the template:
The css files location:
/nobackup/reis/Project/Manager/templates/appsmedia/css/
I can see the css files code on the web browser through:
http://145.23.6.135:8000/manager/appsmedia/css/css1.css
Is there anything wrong here?
When I try viewing the page with the css applied I don't get any
formating at all... :(

this is a syntax error and should be:

Generic Views: "Could not parse the remainder: % object.title %"

My blog/models.py is:
-
from django.db import models

# Create your models here.

pub_date = models.DateTimeField(core=True)
slug = models.SlugField(maxlength=30, prepopulate_from= ['title'])
body = models.TextField(core=True)
class Admin:
fields = (
(None, {'fields': ('slug', 'title', 'pub_date', 'body',)}),
)
def __str__(self):

-
My template/blog/entry_archive.html is:
-
{% extends blog_base.html %}
{% block content %}
{% for object in latest %}
{{% object.title %}}
{{% object.body %}}
{% endfor %}
{% endblock %}
-
I think my problem is that I am calling latest instead of something else
. I am not sure what the name for it should be. I tried to define a
template_object_name but that raised an error that it was unexpected.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks, Evan

I ran an apache benchmark test on my development machine (not the fastest hardware) multiple times where each of them creating 1000 captchas: With auto_cleanup: captchas on disk at startRequests per second first run 0 22.82 second run 1000 13.06 third run2000 9.16 fourth run 3000 7.02 Without auto_cleanup: captchas on disk at startRequests per second first run 0 39.05 second run 1000 39.45 third run2000 37.27 fourth run 3000 38.46 disk space used for 4000 captchas: 48MB And these are really extreme cases, since they imply that no one of the 1000 visitors in each run ever submits a form back, so its captcha image would be deleted automatically. If you really have concerns regarding speed, you might use a cronjob that deletes the old captchas in the background, so the whole system stays very responsive. If you have a compelling reason why this solution is bad, I'll be happy to know. Otherwise I think, I'll stick with images in the filesystem. In my opinion it's fast for most sites even with auto_cleanup, and for really high volume sites just disable auto_cleanup, use your own cronjob, and everything should be ok. Right now, I just can't see a benefit in using images created on the fly. Martin --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.

My own implementation requires both a urls.py entry as well as session variables. Modifying urls.py is not really a big issue with me.

If I have patches for your module, do I send it here on django-users or can I send to you directly? -- _nimrod_a_abing_ http://abing.gotdns.com/ http://www.preownedcar.com/ --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.
