You still have to record the raw number of hits somewhere. Doing this
in the database, in real time, is often not possible because it does
lead to one write per page view.

Periodically crunching server logs is often a better alternative.

A situation like this is often an indicator that you haven't
sufficiently abstracted what the code is doing. Step back a bit and
consider whether that's the case.

Re: Avoiding code duplication with many similar models

[Trevor Caira]

Thanks for the pointer, Alex. Yes, I have seen that part of the
documentation. Even using model inheritance, however, I still have to
list at a minimum 8 * 12 = 96 different models (8 different versions
of 12 different models). Then, I still must manually specify each
related field, since Django doesn't know that two particular model
subclasses are associated, and can't infer the correct relationship.
There are in total 23 such fields, which means I now must list at
least 96 models (each with a manually specified Meta class listing its
db_table), and 8 * 23 = 184 different related fields.

So while it is possible to do this with model inheritence, at least
the most obvious solution involves a lot of code duplication.

Best,

Trevor Caira

The Textmate Django templates bundle offers completion for template
tags and some filters. Of course, it's also easily modifiable, so you
could tailor it to your needs. You'll need to be on Mac and buy the
Textmate software (there is a free trial).

I seriously doubt any editor or IDE would be able to tell you what's
in a given object, list, or dictionary when editing a template, given
that most of those values would be coming from a database. If they
were static objects, it might be possible, but it seems a little like
overkill for most developers.

Re: Problems setting up test Django server

[Graham Dumpleton]

Or do what I suggested you do in the first place and use mod_wsgi.

Run your main site in embedded mode and your test site in daemon mode.
This will give you the added advantage that to reload test instance,
just touch WSGI script file, no need to restart whole of Apache.

As well as stuff like SESSION_COOKIE_NAME, ensure you create two
isolated Python virtual environments so each instance is using
completely isolated environments. For Python virtual environments in
mod_wsgi to work properly, you must however not be loading mod_python
into Apache at the same time.

For details see:

  http://code.google.com/p/modwsgi/wiki/ConfigurationGuidelines
  http://code.google.com/p/modwsgi/wiki/IntegrationWithDjango

Re: Problems setting up test Django server

[Jason]

Hi Graham--

Thanks again for trying to talk me through this stuff.  Adding a
different SESSION_COOKIE_NAME to my test site fixed the problem of
having to re-login when switching between my active admin site & my
test admin site.  However, the larger problem remains:  changes made
to my test site's models are still not propagating to my test site's
admin pages.  Bear in mind I'm still doing all this w/mod_python, &
that I have two separate VirtualHosts for my main & test sites.
Changes made to the main site's models are still regularly & reliably
showing up in my main site's admin pages.

So I'm flummoxed.  Guess it's a separate test box for me for the time
being.  Thanks for trying though!

It's difficult to tell what's going on without a full stack trace, but
I'm guessing it's one of two things:

1) You're using an old version of Django (0.96, or a very old SVN
checkout). In older releases, cleaned_data was called clean_data.

2) Your form hasn't validated. cleaned_data is only available if no
validation errors are found during form processing. If a validation
error is found in a specific field, that field will be removed from
the clean data dictionary; if a form-level validation error is found,
the full cleaned_data dictionary will be deleted.

Yours,
Russ Magee %-)

Simplest and scalable aren't often achievable in the same sentence.

Unless your site is very low traffic the thing you don't want to do is 
write to the database every view.  That is anti-scalable.

For one project in the past a coworker came up with this:
write log files to a ramdisk, one line per view(fast + simple). A cron 
job slurped the files, did unique views logic, other stuff and updated a 
times_viewed field in the models.

Scaling that to more than one machine adds complexity.  I'd probably 
pursue a different solution when/if traffic warranted it.

Yet another "social network" help needed

[Pavel Rebrov]

Hello everyone,

I want to build sort of a multi-user blog system with some "community-
building" features. Right now I see it as a set of applications as
such:
- News. RSS-aggregated, manually translated and republished on the
site "Industry News" section
- Blog. Each user will have a blog of one's own and there will be one
"main" blog built of users' "featured" posts.
- Profile. The perfect thing to do is provide each user is a subdomain
profile page, which should also be used as squidoo-kind of lense or a
mashup of some user's details, one's own blog posts and some external
feeds.
- Forum. Just a basic forum application, but I'm thinking of a feature
of creating a forum topic related to a certain news article or blog
post.
- Job board. Pretty straight forward here.
- Event management. A site-wide calendar of events which every user
should be able to "attend" (tick an "I'll be there" button) and, of
course, add events to. This, indeed, must also provide an iCal feed.
- Rating. Ideally I need a rating system so only authoritative and
respectful authors get their "featured" posts on the main page. Thus
posts and comments need to be rated.

I'm a Django noob and, basically, haven't been developing for years
now, but do have a general understanding of the way things work inside
the Web :)

What are the applications available I might use to ease up the task? I
see django-registration, django-profile and django-tagging as the
required ones. What about subdomains? django-accounts seems to handle
that, but how does that live together with django-profile?

Speaking of other applications, is it worth building a blog and forum
from scratch or would be just easier to get coltrane to handle multi-
user blog and django-forum to start with the forum development? I
realise that job board and event subsystem aren't available out-of-the-
box to start with, but they aren't a top priority at the moment and by
the time I get to them I hope do learn enough to stop asking stupid
questions :)

Rating is something I don't yet understand how to achieve.

Admin panel question

[peter]

Hello everyone. I've just begin my adventure with Django, and I have
some problems. I want to add some custom functions to admin site. For
example, I want to add method from not model class, which sends email
to specify users, or something similar. Is it possible? Where I can
find information about it?

Fwd: Does anyone use Eric to edit templates

[Gene Campbell]

Do either of these work smartly with Django i.e. Offer command
completion for the Django tempalte lang or offer look ups in the bound
dictionaries available in the template -  er, eh, at design time, the
dictionaries aren't available, so that wouldn't be trivial.  I suppose
if an IDE managed the whole Django project, it might be
smart enough.

Re: How to Implement "Most Viewed"?

I know several people who have implemented this feature tend to do so by
interfacing with their traffic reporting API. Perhaps you can tap into

How to Implement "Most Viewed"?

[blis102]

Hello All,

Im wondering how I could go about implementing a "Most Viewed" feature
on my site. Lets say I have events, articles, and businesses, how
could I implement a "Most Viewed Businesses", "Most Viewed Articles",
"Most Viewed Events", "Most Viewed Content", "Most Viewed Articles
This Week", etc...? Should I build a model for views and make it a
foreign key to each model I want to record views for? Should I make a
middleware? What else could I do?

Im not really sure what would be best practice in this regard. Im sure
there are a few different ways to implement this, but what is the
simplest and most scalable? Any other ideas or suggestions?

Thanks Alot,
Dana

Re: Having a instance of a model object instantiate another

[Diego Ucha]

John,

If you don't have to fill any of Checkbox's fields (attended,
was_drunk, silly_walk, naughty or been_seen), then i don't think you
have to create an instance of it bounded with an Event. Create it when
you have one of these fields. This way if you want to get a real
statistic of how many Checkboxes exist, for example, it will be much
more easier.
What do you think?

Hi Trevor,
Have you looked at the Model Inheritance part of the documentation?

http://www.djangoproject.com/documentation/model-api/#model-inheritance

You could abstract all the common elements into one model (the
abstract base class) and have the other models subclass that parent.
They would then contain only the parts of the model that differ from
model to model.

Re: ForeignKey, but not...

[Peter Rowell]

Thoughts, in no particular order:

1. What about your app is dependent on the uid/User? I.e., At what
points in the app's use does the uid come into play?
2. Since there is a uid, where is it coming from? UNIX uid? Some other
forum id?
3. Are there events in the life of a uid/User (creation, modification,
destruction) that you have to respond to (or which are already being
responded to on your behalf by the django User model)?

Since you don't want to change your app, maybe you can create your own
User model that supplies enough of the same functionality that your
app can't tell the difference. This might require creating another
model/table, but I think you can create a custom manager that will
fake enough stuff to make things work. If you go this route, all
you'll need to change is the import of User into your models.py file.

Just some thoughts.

template translation

[Thierry]

The current template tag implementation for i18n seems a bit
cumbersome and looks like it makes the template code harder to
maintain.
Would it be possible to code the translation logic in the template
parser?

Automatically extract all strings in the template code which could be
translated (text between html elements, some attributes like title and
alt)
Run it through gettext and store a translated version in cache.


Well there must be some difficulties with this :)

Re: Generic ManyToMany - any code?

[kbs]

Assuming you are using the development version of django (trunk)
For the asset problem that was described, model inherentence can be
used.
Asset would be base class, and all asset types should inheret from it
Process would simply hold a m2m reference to the base Asset model

http://www.djangoproject.com/documentation/model-api/#model-inheritance

I am not sure how much control you have over it in current admin, but
maybe newform admin branch would give you the needed control? I am
sure soeone can elaborate

a problem with Django development server

[jinhao]

well,first,my english is poor.sorry!!
i find a problem with Django development server,when I use newforms or
modelform to output textarea,if this textarea filled too many
words,and submit to Django development server with POST method.
in firefox, it is always normal,but in IE7,the content in textarea can
insert into database, but in browser i get a response just like the
url visited a non-exist website ,(not django's friendly 404 error when
set debug true).

when use django with apache,it is normal in IE7, so i think ti is a
problem with Django development server.

someone can explain it or solve this problem?

That would mean Django is not properly installed in your Python's
site-packages directory.  If it were there, the import of django.core would
work.  What, exactly, do you have under c:\Python\Lib\site-packages\django?
You should have subdirectories named bin, conf, contrib, core, etc -- a
total of 19 subdirectories and an __init__.py file.

An alternative way to run things is to not put Django in your site-packages
directory, but rather include it on you PYTHONPATH (not PATH) environment
variable.  It sounds like this is what people were suggesting.  But, if
you've put it in site-packages then this is not necessary, better to figure
out what is wrong with your site-packages installation.

Well, the SVN version has over a years worth of improvements and bug fixes
compared tot he 0.96 release, which has only a couple of security fixes that
have been applied since its release.  Some of those fixes were to the
setup.py install script, and for Windows specifically, but if you really
want to stick with 0.96.2 it can be made to work.  Personally, though, I too
would recommend SVN over the old release, just in general.

You're close.  There are two different paths:  there's %PATH% 
which is a system variable that tells Windows where to look for 
executables; and there's %PYTHONPATH% which tells Python where to 
look for modules.  You've correctly set %PATH% to point to Python 
which it seems to successfully be finding, but your PYTHONPATH 
isn't set correctly.  As a test, at the command-line, type

   c:\proj\>set PYTHONPATH=c:\path\to\django
   c:\proj\>python manage.py runserver

and see if that does the trick.  If so, you can use the 
Environment Variables window on your System Properties (where you 
likely changed your PATH variable) to create a new env. variable 
for PYTHONPATH and point it to the Django directory (and possibly 
include your project directory as well).

Has anyone used django (including its ORM system) with a non-sql db?
I'd be interested in learning how django was modified to get the best
fit.

setup issues with Django

[wheresdave]

I have been trying to setup django on a windows XP machine for almost
4 hours now. Each step of the way I run into a new error that I have
to find a workaround for, which is very unfortunate.

I have django 0.96.2 in my site-packages directory, and python is on
the root of C. I have also added python to my path per instructions i
found on another site, and python shell is now working fine.

Now, when I try to run django-admin.py startproject mysite i get the
following error

ImportError: No module named django.core

I ran many google searches on this error and none of the docs came
back with anything useful to solve my challenge.

I went to the IRC forums and they told me that Django is not on my
path. Well, i had already tried adding to my path per the same
instructions provided for adding python to your path, and the same
error persisted.

I was then told to install SVN and pull from the trunk. I do not feel
that is a valid workaround, because honestly i do not feel it will
solve the problem.

Does anyone have any advice etc on how to resolve this issue? I have
been trying on and off to use Django for over a year and have yet to
get it working completely. I do understand that it is in pre release
stage or whatever, but honestly is it that hard to get an easy to
follow tutorial or something together that actually works for windows
(and instant rails for django would be nice)? I have seen alot of easy
to follow tutorials for windows, but none of them work completely.

Thank you in advance if you have a solution.

Dave

Re: Many to Many field and the template

[Eric Abrahamsen]

Double curly brackets {{ }} are used for variable substitution. These  
brackets: {% %} are used for template tags, of which the for loop is  
one. So you want:
{% for et in entity.entity_type.all %}

Yours,
Eric

Re: Generic ManyToMany - any code?

[Itai Tavor]

Thanks, Richard - I thought about doing it this way, but I don't see  
how it could be integrated nicely into an admin form... you either  
have to create an Asset object for every new asset object, or you  
don't get the full list of possible assets in the Process admin form.  
I also don't like that a different Asset model would be required for  
every unique set of selectable content types (of which I have at least  
3).

I know a GenericM2M can be done... possibly it's not even very hard.  
It's just that those RelatedObjectsDescriptors and  
ReverseRelatedObjectsDescriptors give me a headache, and I don't  
really understand how M2M works anyway (where is the code that creates  
the m2m table?) so I can't tackle it myself.

Many to Many field and the template

[M.Ganesh]

Hi All,

Unable to find a relevent info in the mail archives/ documentation. I am 
getting this error :

TemplateSyntaxError at /contacts/entity/8/show/
Could not parse the remainder: ' et in entity.entity_type.all' from 'for 
et in entity.entity_type.all'

#my model
class entity(models.Model):

class entity_type(models.Model):

How do I get a list of entity_type given a entity instance?

Thanks in advance

Re: a problem with djikiki

That might be a problem with your urls.py file.  An extra comma
somewhere, perhaps.

Also, what version of django are you using?

Ensure you have set SESSION_COOKIE_NAME differently for each Django
instance in the settings.py files.

This is needed because each instance runs under same VirtualHost name.
Cookies are not distinguished based on port.

Look for some comments about this in:

  http://code.google.com/p/modwsgi/wiki/IntegrationWithDjango

It was talking about multiple instances mapped at different URL in
same virtual host/port number, but same applies if different port
number.

auto_add or default or save?

[Rob Hudson]

I don't recall where, but I thought I had heard once that the auto_add
and auto_add_now options to date fields in models was going away.

I've seen 2 main options in the wild and I'm not sure which is
preferred... I suppose each has its own use case:

1) Add default=datetime.now to the field.  This seems to provide a
pre-save setting of a date that shows up in the admin and can be
changed prior to saving.  Looks like it's good for a created date
field if you're ok with the idea that you can change it in the admin.

2) Override save and set the field prior to saving.  This seems like
it's good for an 'updated' date field that automatically updates every
time it's saved.

Are those breakdowns accurate?  Is the auto_now_* stuff really going
away?  And if so, could the docs be updated to reflect that?  Are
there other ways to get 'created' and 'updated' functionality?

Thanks,
Rob
