Exactly what is the output?

What is the content of $HOME/.pip/pip.log?

$ cat $HOME/.pip/pip.log


Also, I don't understand what you say later, about that you installed it
but not the right version. Pass the output of this command:

$ source envname/bin/activate
$ python -c 'import django ; print django.VERSION '

It seems like you're trying to mix up the development server (./manage
runserver) with Apache serving statics. I don't know why would you
want that.

If you want to serve statics from the development server, then you should read:
http://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/howto/static-files/

Hey Rich, 

This is the Django mailing list, and this question is regarding JQuery.
Maybe JQuery have a list or you can try in StackOverflow...

Also, maybe what you're looking is this one:

http://api.jquery.com/checked-selector/

And: 

http://api.jquery.com/checkbox-selector/

First of all, when you write a mail to a mailing list, you should put a

help).

You didn't say what your application is about.

I would recommend you, giving that you're new to Django and Python, to
start all over...

Probably if your application is well coded you could import it and use
it in Django... But again, we don't know what your application is
about

Sorry for no answering this before. 

Nop, this didn't work either :(

The solution I'll try then is with SQL, something similar to this and
the get_top method:

No, you don't have to change the middleware. 

AFAIK the middleware [0] the only thing it does is capture the 404 and
try to get the flatpage. 

Also check this stack overflow question [1], I think is what you're
trying to do.

You can put it everywhere in your project, I think the best would be
putting it in app_name/models.py (or creating another app just for the
flatpage); then you have to referenciate it in the app_name/admin.py, in
the line:

from models import ExtendedFlatPage

Would be

from app_name.models import ExtendedFlatPage 

Good luck,

I noticed that the .filter isn't necesary, so now I have this:

class LinkGetTopScores(models.Manager):
def get_top_score(self):
return sorted(self.all(), key=lambda n: n.get_score)

But it don't sort by score, and I don't know what I'm doing wrong :S

Any idea?

Thanks,
Andres

I think that is always helpful this text:

Specially the part:

2. Try to find an answer by searching the Web.

7. If you're a programmer, try to find an answer by reading the source code.

Ordering/sort_by from a custom method

[Andres Lucena]

Dear Gurus,

I've made a custom method for getting the score (from django-voting)
for a giving Model:

class Link(models.Model):
episode = models.ForeignKey("Episode", related_name="links")
url = models.CharField(max_length=255, unique=True, db_index=True)

def __unicode__(self):
return self.url

def get_score(self):
return Vote.objects.get_score(self)['score']

Now I want to make a custom manager to getting the top-scored links
for the given episode. AFAIK, you can't sort by a custom method, so
I'm trying to apply the ordering through sorted(), like this links
says:

http://stackoverflow.com/questions/981375/using-a-django-custom-model-method-property-in-order-by
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/883575/custom-ordering-in-django

So, what I have now is this:

class LinkGetTopScores(models.Manager):
def get_top_score(self):
return sorted(self.filter(episode=self.episode), key=lambda n:
n.get_score)

class Link(models.Model):
episode = models.ForeignKey("Episode", related_name="links")
url = models.CharField(max_length=255, unique=True, db_index=True)
get_top_score = LinkGetTopScores()


So of course this isn't working because of the self.episode stuff...
But I've to filter somehow by episode (the ForeignKey), and I don't
know how. Is there anyway of doing this?? What I'm doing is right or
there would be an easier way of doing this?

Thank you,
Andres

Well, the first thing to see when deploying a django project is the
settings.py file. Here you'll see the database information.

Then the second step will be testing it (with the command python
manage.py runserver, it should start the development server, NOT for
using in production).

The last thing will see the Apache configuration, and it'll depend if
you're using wsgi or fcgi... More information here:
http://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/howto/deployment/
http://www.djangobook.com/en/beta/chapter21/

Hope it isn't that difficult, you can see the configs from the old
server, right?

Good luck!
Andres

Jeje, just talking about that in another thread ;)

You should look the "next" parameter in the login form:

http://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/topics/auth/

Or if it will always be the same page, maybe what you're looking for
is the LOGIN_REDIRECT_URL setting parameter:

http://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/ref/settings/#std:setting-LOGIN_REDIRECT_URL

Yeah, I know, the 'next' magic, with GET or POST, it's vry nice ;)

The thing that I was saying is that he should validate that the user
is logged in, (login_required decorator, or
request.user.is_authenticated), because if he doesn't then he will
have an anonymous user instance, and I think that isn't what he
wants...

Passing variables to template filters

[Andres Lucena]

Hi,

In my base.html I'm trying to do this:

{% block title %}{{title|default:"{{SITE_NAME}}"}}{%
endblock %}

But I'm getting this:

TemplateSyntaxError at /
default requires 1 arguments, 0 provided

So, SITE_NAME is not passed to the filter.

As a workaround I did this:

{% block title %}{% if not title %}{{SITE_NAME}}{% else
%}{{title}}{% endif %}{% endblock %}

But it's pretty ugly... Is there anyway to passing a variable to a
template filter??

Thanks,
Andres

I think the problem is that you're trying to get from the class and
not from the instance of the class. So insted of doing that, you
should do something like this:

user = User.objects.get(first_name=bar, last_name=foo)
user.first_name

Of course for doing that you should first get bar and foo (through the
URL, or request.POST, or request.GET)

But I think that what you're looking instead of all that crap is
request.user, so you should do this:

   fullname=request.user.first_name + ' ' + request.user.last_name

Or even better:

   fullname=request.user.get_full_name

You can skip that step and do this:

def ShowMainMenu (request):
   return render_to_response('scanning/menu.html',
{'fullname': request.user.get_full_name,},
context_instance=RequestContext(request))

Or skip the fullname stuff and getting the atribute directly in the
template: {{request.user.get_full_name }}

Don't forget the login_required decorator, because if an anonymous
user try to get that page he will get an exception (I think, didn't
try that)

First, I'd check if the apache is working, if you go to

http://steamboy:8082/PageStyle.css

Do you see the CSS?

Also, what you see when you see the HTML source code? Is that URL?

See you,
Andres
