Re: Deleting and creating a model

[Ross]

I think you would either have to assign the antenna's phone:

antenna.phone = phone

or refetch the antenna from the database so Django creates the object
with the newly-created reference. The antenna you are looking at is
only coming from memory when you do antenna.phone, not from the
database. You could do it all at once like this:

antenna.phone = Phone()
antenna.save()

Deleting and creating a model

[Karish]

Hi,

I have two models in a one-to-one relationship: Phone and Antenna.

In other words, within the Phone class I have this field:
antenna = models.OneToOneField(Antenna, related_name='phone')

What I want to do, given a specific antenna, is to delete its phone
and add a different phone:

antenna.phone.delete()
phone = Phone()
phone.antenna = antenna
phone.save()

Problem: after these statements, antenna.phone.id is None. I was
expecting antenna.phone to reflect the new phone, which definitely has
an id assigned to it after the save().

Thanks!

It is valid, tested and working on Django 1.0. I have it working. It is not
documented, you need to search in the source code to get around it.

If you are to try this method, only consider this. The query set method
should look like this:

def queryset(self, request):
qs= super(Admin_Class_Of_Your_Model, self).queryset(request)
return qs.filter(user = request.user)

No. Your app directory should contain an admin.py module. In that you
import your models, create your admin.ModelAdmin subclasses and register
your models (with the admin.ModelAdmin subclasses as required).

Re: 3 models need to access 1 model

OK, I'm new to Django and this is probably making a silly mistake but,
to me the admin.site.register(Tag) line should appear at the bottom of
the Tags model. If this is done Django will not syncdb or runserver
because it thinks "Tag" has been registered more than once. However,
if you put the admin.site.register(Tag) line in any of the models that
are importing the Tags model it works fine - shows up in the admin
correctly, and the relationship works.

Is this how it should work ?

Re: 3 models need to access 1 model

[[EMAIL PROTECTED]]

Hrm I have this working now, got lucky with a google and found a
django bug that had the info I needed to start. So am now using:

appt4.models import Tag

But am now actually experiencing the bug which is thought to be fixed.
I'm using Django 1.0: http://code.djangoproject.com/ticket/6776

Whilst on the subject of the admin interface, should
admin.autodiscover() make all models visible in the admin panel
without needing to admin.site.register ?

3 models need to access 1 model

[[EMAIL PROTECTED]]

Hello,

I have 3 apps. When records are saved to each app I want to associate
tags to the records. In order for each app to access the same tags I
think I would need a Tag app. Is it possible for models in different
apps to access models in another ?

So..

App1
class m1(models.Model):
tag = models.ManyToMany(Tag) # app4

App2
class m2(models.Model):
tag = models.ManyToMany(Tag) # app4

App3
class m3(models.Model):
tag = models.ManyToMany(Tag) # app4

App4
class Tag(models.Model):
name = models.CharField(max_length=50)

Is it possible for models to access the models in other apps ? If this
is possible, do you have any links to relevent docs or howto's on this
topic. I have been searching but couldn't find the right term to
search for.

Thank you

This answer is utterly and completely untrue.

One of the outcomes of the recent queryset-refactor was to decouple
the SQL specific parts of the ORM from the queryset itself. Writing a
non-SQL backend for queries is now in the realm of possibility (and
during DjangoCon, I heard at least one mention of a prototype CouchDB
backend). Obviously, there will always be limitations - the concept of
'joins' on CouchDB is a little vague, for example - but basic data
queries can definitely be integrated.

To be clear - this doesn't mean "writing a CouchDB backed is a 30
minute job for a newcomer", and there aren't any tutorials on how to
do this, and if you try and it breaks you get to keep every single one
of the shiny pieces. However, it is _possible_, and I for one am
interested in seeing support for non-SQL databases in the Django
world.

So utterly and completely, that if you wished to use HBase, there  
would be no possible way to integrate in into the current ORM. In  
fact, the only logical thing to do is to use a completely different  
ORM - like Dumbo. But you would then have to write your own Admin, and  
roll your own equivalent to ModelForms.

I could see something like this happening in the context of GAE, which  
might be more analogous to HBase.

This changes your CSS file from being static to being dynamic. 
As such, Django should serve the file.  However, as it's not 
something you'd expect to change often, Django's caching 
framework (making use of, say, memcached) may prove enormously 
helpful.  Alternatively, you might be able to hook into the 
post_syncdb signal, and use it to write/put the render the 
dynamic CSS file into a static CSS file on the static-media server.

Just a few ideas,

Re: specifying MEDIA_URL in CSS files

[Erik Allik]

You should instead simply use relative URLs to images in CSS files.  
Style sheets and images are (normally) always at the same location  
relative to each other so nothing will break if you change their  
location. Of course if your images are in a different domain than your  
style sheets, that's another case.

What's the best way to use MEDIA_URL in a CSS file. For example, right
now my CSS file has something like:

body {
  background: transparent url('/media/images/bg.gif') repeat;
}

I would like to use MEDIA_URL instead of /media/ (in a number of

to do this? Should I templatize the whole thing? What type of a

Re: Problems with tutorial part 2

[Neil]

Thanks for the quick reply.

I reinstalled Django using 'python setup.py install' and the problem
has disappeared.  Previously I installed Django by running 'python
setup.py build' and then manually copying the Django directory created
under the build/ directory to another directory in my Python path (not
the usual site-packages/). That must have been causing the problem.

You don't state what the actual problem is. One thing I can see is
that each value for 'archive' will be an instance of
datetime.datetime, so calling datetime on it again doesn't make any
sense. Are you trying to format the output? If so, use the 'date'
filter.

For example:
{% for archive in archive_list %}
{{ archive|date:"m Y" }}
{% endfor %}
... which will give you a list in the format "Jan 2008 Feb 2008 Mar
2008" etc.

I can't really understand what you're asking here, I'm afraid. Maybe

It's good to try to follow DRY, but it's not the solution for everything. Django
is a tool box, not a CMS with everything included. Sometimes it's better to
write a few lines of code instead of trying to add more knobs and configurables
to existing code... remember, "Do one thing, and do it well" instead of "Try
doing 1000 things, but still fail at most of them."

Re: Making sure published date is respected in views

[Keith Eberle]

Building on Marcelo's response, and an example from James Bennett's book (Ch
5), you could also add a custom manager.  It'd go something like this:

class PublishedEntryManager(models.Manager):
  def get_query_set(self):
return super(PublishedEntryManager,
self).get_query_set().filter(pub_date__lte=datetime.now())

class Entry(models.Model)
  title = ...etc...
  content = ...etc...
  objects = models.Manager()
  published = PublishedEntryManager

Entry.published.all() will return a queryset of all published Entries.

You have to write your own middleware or view function. This is
easy enough since you can copy the flatpages view and middleware
code and modify it for your needs.

The Django server handles the HTTP request. No HTTP goes to the MySQL
server - an entirely separate protocol is used between the web server
and the database server.

So, if you have firewalls between the two, you need to ensure that the
web (Django) server host can make a connection to the MySQL port on the
database server (which is 3306 by default).

You will need to change the DATABASE_HOST setting if the new database it
at a different IP address fro the one you are using now (which it almost
certainly will be).

The other settings should be perfectly OK as they are.

Obviously there'll be an entirely different my.cnf file on the new
database server, so I can't give you any advice on that. The Apache
server has nothing to do with communications between Django and MySQl,
so if it's working now just leave it as it is.

Unless Apache has been configures to use other MySQL services, of
course, which you *can* do, but presumably you would know if that were
the case.

Re: When to start an app?

[barbara shaurette]

Yep, you'll have some overlap, but I think it makes sense to create a
separate app wherever the data model/views could logically stand
alone.   So, user registration would be one app.  I'm working on a
project that does a lot with demographic data based on user profiles,
so profiles is another separate app, but both import the User object.
And then your survey mechanism would be yet another app, and so on and
so on.

Re: Database Security

[Mario]

Thank you for responding so quickly, but the question hasn't been
answered.
Assuming there are firewalls layered between the DMZ and the private
network and the routing table has been setup correctly;
what do I need to do to forward the http request to my remote
database.

Do I modify my settings.py to include the following:

FROMTO:

DATABASE_ENGINE = 'mysql' ---> DATABASE_ENGINE = 'mysql'
DATABASE_NAME = 'golf_prod'  >DATABASE_NAME = 'golf_prod'
DATABASE_USER = 'dbadmin'   ->DATABASE_USER = 'dbadmin'
DATABASE_PASSWORD = ''  -->DATABASE_PASSWORD = ''
DATABASE_HOST = ''  >DATABASE_HOST ="http://
192.168.1.128"
DATABASE_PORT = ''  >DATABASE_PORT = "3306"

What I am looking for is the appropriate configurations/syntax to
connect to a remote database. Do I assume the MySQL driver and APIS
for Django will take care of the database connectivity or do I need to
modify the my.cnf file in MySQL. Also, do  I need to make changes in
my Apache httpd.conf file as well?

Thank you again.

_Mario

Is that still valid? I can find no documentation for a queryset method
on the ModelAdmin class here:

http://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/ref/contrib/admin/

I added one regardless to my ProjectCodeAdmin class:

class ProjectCodeAdmin(admin.ModelAdmin):
def queryset(self, request):
return super(ProjectCodeAdmin, self).filter(
Customer= request.Customer) 

but it seems to be ignored. (I also wonder -- is this supposed to get
called *everywhere* I need a ProjectCode dropdown? Even if there is no
Customer on that page, and hence the request? ...)

That said, placing it there feels wrong. IIUC, a site-specific admin.py
and ModelAdmin instances are ment to tweak the admin interface. Limiting
the list of ProjectCodes in the dropdown can be done there, but
resticting the allowed ProjectCodes should be done in the model. Doesn't
that mean the code now has to be written twice?

My biggest worry, though, is updating the user interface if a new or
different Customer is selected. I have seen no suggestions yet that
admin is able to cope with that without too much intervention on my
part... Hopefully that's because people knowing it can, and how, are
currently busy with more important stuff like going out and having fun.
;)

Gertjan.

While putting your database in the DMZ *is* a bad idea, there's nothing
in the standard Django setup that requires it to *be* anywhere special.
As Ross points out, as long as it can be contacted by name, or by IP
address, it's perfectly OK for it to be the other side of a firewall,
for example.

I sometimes run Django code on my laptop against the database I use to
support my public web site, though in that case I have taken the
additional precaution of having the database require a digital
certificate before it allows access. That's PostgreSQL, so I couldn't
quote you the mechanics you'd need to do the same on MySQL.

http://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/ref/databases/#connecting-to-the-database

Putting your database in the DMZ is probably a very bad idea... You
don't want to give the entire internet access to your database. The
standard Django setup expects your database to be accessible on the
same local network as your Django app. Other than that, there is no
special setup.

Hi,

finally I decided to (re)start blogging. As it's django based (actually runs
on byteflow) I thought I will present it here.

Besides django - as it was already told - I use byteflow [1], plus
django-contact-form [2] and my own postimage [1] app.

If you are interested in posts on standard setting, economics and my django
experiences you can meet me at http://viktornagy.com

Hope you will like it!

Re: How to prevent URL HTML encoding?

[Ross]

That will definitely do the trick, but the idea of APPEND_SLASH from
what I understand is 'http://www.last.fm/music/Goo+Goo+Dolls/' and
'http://www.last.fm/music/Goo+Goo+Dolls' (with and without the
trailing slash) are considered different URLs. Appending the slash
normalizes all your URLs to always include a trailing slash, which
correctly routes search engines to the same page.

I am only writing a small internal app, so search engine optimization
is not a concern. However, if my app were public, I would want to make
APPEND_SLASH work for me.

Karen, thanks for all the help by the way! I am going to go with the
optional slash in my regexs to get around APPEND_SLASH.

Database Security

[Mario]

Hello,

I would like to move off the existing database server off Django.
Currently, my settings.py file include the following configuration:

DATABASE_ENGINE = 'mysql'   # 'postgresql_psycopg2',
'postgresql', 'mysql', 'sqlite3' or 'oracle'.

DATABASE_NAME = 'golf_prod'   # Or path to database
file if using sqlite3.

DATABASE_USER = 'dbadmin'   # Not used with sqlite3.

DATABASE_PASSWORD = 'x' # Not used with sqlite3.

DATABASE_HOST = '' # Set to empty string
for localhost. Not used with sqlite3.

DATABASE_PORT = '' # Set to empty string
for default. Not used with sqlite3.


Question – I need to move the Mysql Server off our  DMZ and into our
protected internal network. Can I simply point the URL in the
DATABASE_HOST . Any suggestions or recommendations?

V/R

_Mario

Thanks. I have just tried that, but failed. In the model, I don't know
how to specify that the result should be limited to an attribute of the
instance (e.g., something like self.Customer.id), as there is no self at
that point. This may very well be my lack of understanding, I'm just
starting with Django.

However, that would still only help with saved instances; when creating
a new Hours entry, the Customer value will be empty, so the dropdown
with appropriate ProjectCodes would be too.

So the question remains whether the django admin code helps make this
possible...

Regards,
Gertjan.

I wanted to do the same. I decided not to user GIS because of all the new

problem with generic views (monthly archive) and different languages

[Julian]

hi there,

in my settings.py there is the language specified as "de_de", wich
works well with things like:

{{{
blog_entry.timestamp|date:"b"
}}}

in may, it returns "Mai", wich is german for may.

but i am using the generic views for my blog archive, and monthly
based i'm doing things like:

{{{
Vorheriger Monat
}}}

but i receiven an url like:

blog/2008/mai/

wich turns into an 404 error page, because in this case it should be
blog/2008/may

what's a solution for my problem?

Gertjan:

As long as you only want this in th admin, check out the
"ForeignKey.limit_choices_to" attribute. However, I don't know whether
this would give you the correct results where no project code was
specified, and I'm not sure how to do this in general applications yet.

I would like to ask a similar but slightly more specific question.

An Oracle database I use keeps lookup data in a Lookups table with three
columns, to avoid many small tables (I assume). A Django model would be
something like (untested pseudo-code):

class Types(model.model):
lktName = models.CharField(max_length=50)

class Lookups(models.Model):
lkpType = models.ForeignKey(Types)
lkpValue = models.CharField(max_length=50)

So I'd like to be able to populate drop-downs with (id, lkpValue) pairs
for a given value of lkpType. The related tables might use a ForeignKey,
but I certainly don't want to see all Lookups in a selection, just those
of the relevant type.

 Steve

Admin: design question

[Gertjan Klein]

Hi,

I am writing a timekeeping app with Django, and have some design
questions. Stripped down, I have a model somewhat like this:

class Customer(models.Model):
Name = models.CharField(max_length=200)

class ProjectCode(models.Model):
Customer = models.ForeignKey('Customer')
Code = models.CharField(max_length=30)

class Hours(models.Model):
Customer = models.ForeignKey('Customer')
ProjectCode = models.ForeignKey('ProjectCode', blank=True)
Date = models.DateField()
Hours = models.FloatField()

That is, the time registration class (Hours) has both a customer, and
(optionally) a project code.

I am currently using the standard admin interface to enter/edit objects,
and it works to my expectations. However, there is one obvious problem
here: when editing an Hours instance, the ProjectCode dropdown lists
*all* project codes, not just those related to the selected customer.

Obviously, I am going to need either a wizard-like interface or an Ajax
solution to fix this. My preference here would be Ajax (to populate the
ProjectCode dropdown based on the selected Customer).

My question is twofold:

- Does the standard admin application have provisions for something like
this?

- Alternatively, is there a change in my design I can make so the admin
interface *can* cope with this?

I'd really prefer to keep using the standard admin for now, focussing on
adding functionality rather than getting the user interface the way I
want it.

Regards,
Gertjan.

Have you modified that file django\utils\dateformat.py?  The one shipped
with 1.0 does not have the problem you are seeing since it imports
WEEKDAYS_ABBR from where it is defined before using it, see line 14 in:

http://code.djangoproject.com/browser/django/tags/releases/1.0/django/utils/dateformat.py

(Also the line number reported in your error message does not match what is
on that line the shipped version of the file, so something seems to have
happened to alter your 1.0 Django files, or at least this one.)

So you want multiple database support, which in general Django doesn't yet
have.  There's a big thread over on the developer's list on this topic right
now.  If all your databases are on the same server, though, it might be that
Django will already do what you are looking for, see this message:

Re: Using models from another project/site

Extra info:

I have many Projects that equate to 'websites'.
Each has it's own database in Mysql.

I want one Project to be our Admin that let's us set some stuff that the other 
websites (projects) read and act upon. (Hence OP needing to access a model 
from another Project)

If I setup each "website" as an Application (under our Admin Project) then 
they will all use the same Mysql database. I need a database per client.

So, any clues ?

So if your root urlconf file does have urlpatterns specified, it must be
that one of the ones pulled in via include('...') does not.  Comment out
everything in urlpatters and verify that the dev server brings up the "It
worked" page when you try to access any url on its port.  If it doesn't,
verify that the urls file you think you are using is really the one
specified in ROOT_URLCONF in settings.py, that you have spelled
'urlpatterns' correctly, etc..  If you do get "It worked", then start
un-commenting lines  individually in urlpatterns until you find the one that
is specified wrong somehow.

I am very new to django, I went through the tutorial yesterday and I
was looking for some sort of ACLs now. And indeed, per-object-
permissions has been mentioned in many threads. A lot of people seemed
to be waiting and for a beginner like me, it is quite confusing - so
thank you Malcolm for the answer, it is very clear.

yes please, if you have any recommendations what worked for you, that
would be great

It seems to me that lot of developers are opting for auth backend -
doing things outside Django. I was looking into phpGACL then I found
http://code.google.com/p/spiff-guard/ which is a sort of a similar
project in python.

I also came across this http://www.djangosnippets.org/snippets/414/
(field level permissions)

All the best,

Logging exceptions using mod_python

[mcordes]

Hello,

The mod_python deployment doc says:  "When you use Apache/mod_python,
errors will be caught by Django -- in other words, they won't
propagate to the Apache level and won't appear in the Apache
error_log". Is there a way to force errors to be recorded in the
error_log? Failing that is there a way to get django to log errors to
a file directly?

Using models from another project/site

[Donn]

I am getting confused by terms, but this is the basic need:

1. In a base dir I have site1 and site2
2. I am in site2 (views) and I want to use the models defined in site1
3. from site1.models import Blah -- seems to work without error.
4. I get an error on stuff like this:
p = Blah.objects.all()
for i in p <--- error here is: "Table 'site2.site1_blah' doesn't exist")

BTW: I have this kind of thing in Apache:

SetHandler python-program
PythonHandler django.core.handlers.modpython
SetEnv DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE site2.settings
PythonOption django.root /site2
PythonDebug On
PythonInterpreter site2
PythonPath "['/path/to/base'] + sys.path"



How do I set things up so I can use 'foreign' models?

Re: Import error: Model based on another model

Daniel,

Is it then still possible to use filters and such, and keep it in the model 
logic?

Because the Meta model has these fields: 'attribute', 'value', 'display', 
'description'

And it's more like a lookup then a real relation between the models Order and 
Meta.

Thanx for the tip. I already saw this one coming ... ;-)

If you want a field that's populated with values from another model,
you should use a ForeignKey.

Also, it's not a good idea to use Meta as the name of a model - that's
bound to get confused with the inner Meta class which defines model
meta-attributes like ordering.

Import error: Model based on another model

[Gerard Petersen]

Hi All,

I need to create a field with a choice set that looks like this:

BTW_CHOICES = (
('0.0', '0%'),
('6.0', '6%'),
('19.0', '19%'),
)

This works as expected when using dropdown lists in a form. But it needs to be 
build from data in another model. When needed in a view I can retrieve the raw 
data like this:

btwchoices = Meta.objects.values_list('value', 
'display').filter(attribute__startswith='BTW')

When I put a similar line in the model class Meta is unknown. And doing a 'from 
models import...' seems very weird when I'm IN the models module. when I move 
it to a myfunctions.py I get import errors.

from models import Meta
ImportError: cannot import name Meta

Can anybody give me some insights on how, and more importantly where, to 
dynamically fill this BTW_CHOICES thingy.

Thanx!

Regards,

Gerard.

Re: Using slug in comments urls

[Shantp]

Just to clear up some confusion, I posted only the relevant part of my
urls.py file. I have all the other necessary stuff in it but i'm still
getting this error.

Re: How to prevent URL HTML encoding?

Change your pattern from:

r'^djangoproject/search/(?P[\w\+]+)/$'

to:

r'^djangoproject/search/(?P[\w\+]+)/?$'

The question mark makes the trailing slash optional -- pattern will match a
url with 0 or 1 trailing slashes.
