Depending on how the date gets set when storing an item in the database, and what date/time gets used when pulling it from the db, you could run into issues here.

Sorry, the problem I suspected isn't there, so I'm not sure what's going on.
Know this though: It's not a problem with Django, esp. since the items
are showing up instantaneously in some places. It just sounds like a
problem in your code.
Could you show the template section that takes such a long time?

Remember that all of these are just Python files, there's nothing special. So I usually have files called dbsettings.py and mediasettings.py, that hold all my database and media info, then I just have settings.py import them.

There might be a better way, but try taking a look at
foo._meta._fields It does't give you exactly what you need, but the
pieces are there.

Re: Strategies for staying current with django development
Another good idea is to listen to the "This Week in Django" podcast (www.thisweekindjango.com). They cover all the major things that have happened to trunk in the last week, as well as things happening in the community, snippets they've run across, etc. It's put together really well, and fun to listen to. This is what I use to keep up to date, esp. when I have to take some time away from Django work.

Better way that _meta to alter Admin?
I'm starting to port my projects, from a version of Django before NFA.
In the past, I had something like this:
User._meta.admin.list_display = User._meta.admin.list_display + ('is_active',)
User._meta.get_field('is_staff').help_text = u"Select this if you want
this user to be able to log into the Admin site."
User._meta.get_field('is_staff').verbose_name = u"Site Administrator"
It seems that using inheritance in NFA, there should be a better way.
I was able to replace the list_display stuff with:
class MyUserAdmin(UserAdmin):
pass
site.register(User, MyUserAdmin)
That works nicely, but I can't find the "right" way to do the
_meta.get_field() stuff in NFA.
Any thoughts?
Thanks,
Jay P.

Wait a sec, I'm crazy, aren't I... The call to HttpResponseRedirect is
just going to tell the browser to redirect to a new URL, so there's no
direct calling of the view function. Oops.
If anyone has a better way to do it, I'd like to hear. I guess for now
I'll use sessions.

Pass extra data to a view
I must be missing something super obvious here, but I can't figure out
how to pass data to a new view, from the old one.
For example, I have the following in a view:
categories = [1,2,3]
return HttpResponseRedirect(
reverse('question-select',
args=[position_id],kwargs={'categories':categories}))
A URL pattern of:
url(r'^(?P\d+)/question-select/$',
choose_questions,kwargs={'categories':None}, name='question-select' ),
And a 'choose_questions' view of:
def choose_questions(request, position_id, categories=None):
...
I would *love* to have the value of 'categories' in 'choose_questions'
be [1,2,3], the value I passed to reverse(). However, this isn't
happening. What, if any, is the proper way to pass extra context to a
view like this?

FormWizard does too much in __call__?
I'm looking at the FormWizard code, and in __call__, we have the following:
for i in range(current_step):
form = self.get_form(i, request.POST)
if request.POST.get("hash_%d" % i, '') != self.security_hash(request, form):
return self.render_hash_failure(request, i)
self.process_step(request, form, i)
My concern is that self.get_form() gets called everytime through. This
means that our form instances are being recreated over and over again.
I understand wanting to handle the case where some data has changed,
but shouldn't there be some sort of cache so we don't need to keep
recreating the instances?

FormWizard and process_step
I'm trying to use process_step() to dynamically add new classes to my form_list, and running into some issues. Essentially, what I want my process_step to look like is: def process_step(self, request, form, step): next_form = build_next_form(step, form) if next_form: self.form_list.append(next_form) Where build_next_form() will dynamically create classes based on the results of the previous step. My initial FormWizard is instantiated with only one class, and my goal is to add more classes as the user is progressing through the forms. The problem is that process_step is called over and over. The end result is that after I finish step 0, a new form gets added. That form is rendered, and submitted. On submission, step 0 is checked again, and that same form then gets added, again. I know *why* this is happening, and the documentation makes it clear that it *will* happen, but what I'd like, is a hint on how to avoid getting duplicate classes added. It feels like I'm going to have to start tracking state myself, eliminating some of the benefit of using FormWizard.

Anyone who *really* wanted to get at your code could do a decent job of disassembling the .pyc files, there's not a lot going on in those.

Webfaction is the way to go. They're very knowledgeable about Python *and* Django, you get your own Apache process (so no FCGI to fight with). I have Django sites hosted with both DreamHost and Webfaction. While Dreamhost is pretty good, once you get it working, I recommend Webfaction. So much easier to setup, direct contact on the forums with the people who run it, it's just fantastic. Get DreamHost if you want to use all the other features it offers (they have a bunch of one-click installs), but if Django is your main concern, then go WebFaction.

Try this:

dict(info_dict , {'template_name':'cit_list10.html'})),
Two things changed:
1) Used dict()
2) 'template_name', not 'template'

Nope, no need to import anything manually. You've been bitten by a
"quirk" of Python. Notice that you have this:
prepopulate_from=("title")
That's *almost* right. In the documentation, they show a two element
tuple, ("pre_name", "name"). You only have a one element tuple.
However, you did it wrong. A one element tuple in Python *has* to have
a trailing comma, so it should be
prepopulate_from=("title",)
Alternatively, you can use a list instead of a tuple, then you don't
need the comma
prepopulate_from=["title"]
The trailing comma in a tuple is required so Python knows whether or
not you are creating a tuple, or just simply putting brackets around
an expression.
Hope that helps,
Jay P.

If you have the time (and know-how with Python), maybe download the 0.96 release, and try with that, just to make sure that something didn't get screwed up recently in SVN. I'd try myself, but I've run out of time for the evening. Also, in the code you posted, the indents seem to be quite strange.

The Python community (or at least, the majority of it), insists on spaces instead of tabs. http://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0008/ I don't want to start a discussion of which is better, as this is not the right place. However, Django is written using spaces, not tabs. The community tends to write with spaces, not tabs. The PEP says not to mix the two, and if a mix happens, convert all your code to use spaces, not tabs. So be wary if you ever plan on plugging someone else's Django application into your project.

I was already proficient in Python, but the other half of my work experience is "hardcore c/c++", doing real-time embedded devices. ie., as far away from web development as you can be :) Django fit my brain quite well, and if you're proficient in C/C++, then Python won't be too hard to learn (you'll just have to make sure to "unlearn" a few horrible habbits that C/C++ forces you to use).

I have a model called CurrentSpecial, which I use to populate a div on the main page with whatever the current sale/special/whatever is. For any user (other than myself) that is allowed to login to the Admin and make changes, I make sure that the only permission they have for that model is "can change currentspecial" (so they *don't* get the "add" or "delete" permissions). This essentially enforces a limit of one instance of this model in the db. They can go in and change whatever the current details are for that special, but they can't delete it, and they can't add new ones. Not the greatest solution in the world, but it works.

It's not a perfect solution, but don't forget about www.djangobook.com. A lot of that documentation matches the project documentation quite closely (and in many places is much better), and as it's done in a book format, it's presented in the order you'd want if you were learning Django the first time.

Re: Saving an object takes a long time
On 4/15/07, Chris Moffitt <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Thanks for the pointer. Any other ideas? There are a few straight Python things you can do to speed up the code a bit, but they won't be huge. First off, how many keys are you usually seeing in address.__dict__.keys()? If it's a lot, and the "if data.has_key(field)" check is *usually* true, you might be better to do: for field in address.__dict__.keys(): try: setattr(address, field, data[field]) except KeyError: pass Also, you might try .iterkeys() instead of .keys() Second, in the big "else" block, you're doing too much string creation in the for loop. Change it to: for field in address.__dict__.keys(): try: setattr(ship_address, field, data['ship_' + field]) except KeyError: pass This way, you're no longer doing the conditional has_key, and you're also not creating the "ship_"+field string twice each time. You could also change that .keys() to a .iterkeys(). What would possibly be even better is if at the beginning of the function, you did something like: customer_keys = customer.__dict__.keys() And then used customer_keys in both of your for loops. That saves a function call. Again, these are all just little things, but depending on how many 'address' keys there are, and how likely the key is to appear in 'data', it might make a difference.

Is this just adding django to the system path? Very briefly: There is a large movement in the Python community to move towards .egg distribution. For many things, it's great, but the general consensus was that for Django, it was causing more trouble than it's worth. The way that .egg files work is by getting listed in the easy-install.pth file. That file will include all the .egg files on your system, as a way to let the Python interpreter know about them. For 0.96, eggs are no longer being used, and the more "traditional" method of installing the directory into site-packages is being used. This is actually going to be a problem for anyone that had installed 0.95 as an egg, and then upgraded to 0.96 (not just on OS X). If you don't know about eggs, then it's a confusing problem.

Re: Updating Django .95 -> .96 on Mac
Which directory does the .egg file and the 'django' directory live? /Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.4/lib/python2.4/site-packages/ ? If so, there should also be a file called easy-install.pth in that directory. Open up that file, and you'll see a reference to the .egg file. Delete that reference. You can then delete the .egg file itself. What's probably happening, is that the .egg is showing up on sys.path before the new 'django' directory.

I'd have major hesitations (especially a year after I first put up the patch) about it becoming the "proper" solution. I think the proper solution would involve specifying something at the model level. Possibly the ability to define a function which can dynamically determine directory names? ie. FileField(..., upload_to_function=some_func) Not really sure what the arguments to such a function would be though... This patch came out of a particular one-off use case I had, where I had one particular view that needed to do some custom upload_to work. I've always hoped that someone would come up with a better solution (after all, my patch is almost a year old), but that doesn't seem to be the case.

Re: Strange filtering issue
I've got one view where I want the queryset to be a standard
objects.all(), but I also want to use a datetime.now() to pass in
"upcoming" events. I do this:
def get_upcoming():
return
Event.objects.filter(end_date__gte=datetime.now()).order_by('end_date')
urlpatterns = patterns('django.views.generic.list_detail',
(r'^/?$', 'object_list', dict(info_dict,allow_empty=True,
extra_context={'upcoming_events':get_upcoming}))
)
The trick here is that Django allows you to pass in functions as
dictionary values. I don't remember if you can use a function for the
'queryset' value, but it definitely works inside of extra_context.

I've not much javascript experience myself, but when I needed to learn a bit, I found Mochikit to be a good fit. The main reason for that is that it's written in a *very* Pythonic style.

Mostly I'm cool with that, but one thing just isn't clicking yet: Your date_from and date_to fields, I'm guessing these represent the from/to dates of the *original* event, and aren't affected by repetitions? So if that's the case, how do you initially pull your ResourceSchedules out of the database? It looks to me like you'd have to pull them all out (ie. ResourceSchedule.objects.all()), generate rrules for all of them, and see which of the rrules fit into a desired timespan. Is that right? By the way, it warms my heart to see you storing bitfields. My area is embedded devices, not web stuff, so I often spend my days working with bitfields and masks and such.

But talking this through with you has filled in the blanks. So I think it stands as follows: 1) Select all events that are NoRepeat, and find the ones that are in the desired month. 2) Then do everything you said on the set of events that are not NoRepeat, plus my results from step 1. Sound good? Of course, this is a simplified model. If I want to allow all the features of a regular calendar app, I'll need to support custom repeats, like "Every second Thursday", or "Every 5 months on the 17th". iCal on OS X has a very nice interface for selecting these custom repeats, I guess I'll try and copy that.

Part of the goal would be to determine *which* events occur in a given month. The second step would be to figure out all the times those events do occur. Given all the events that do occur in a given month, the rest of your steps make sense, but I'm still not sure how I'd find that initial list of events.

Marking a DateField event as "repeating"
So I'm working on a calendar application, and trying to come up with
an efficient way to mark some event as repeating.
The trivial way to create the model would be something like:
REPEAT = (
('D', 'Daily'),
('W', 'Weekly'),
('M', 'Monthly'),
('Y', 'Yearly'),
)
class Event(models.Model):
title = models.CharField(maxlength=32)
date = models.DateField()
repeat = models.CharField(maxlength=1, choices=REPEAT)
When I render a calendar, I render one month at a time. Any
suggestions on an efficient way to query the db for all the events in
a given month?
Maybe it would make more sense to skip the database all together, and
store things as iCal files, using one of the Python iCal libraries to
parse through?

One quick thing though: You're using re.compile all over the place, and that's fine, it's good to precompile the regexs. Problem is, you're recompiling the regex everytime each method is called. For example, in 'escape_comments', you do a re.compile. It would be *much* better to do that compile in the __init__, and store it to a variable, so you only ever have to do it once.

iCal like interface in the Admin?
I'm currently putting together my first calendar view for a website. Initially, I thought that creating a basic "Event" model with a single DateField would be good enough, but after thinking about it, realized that without some basic "Repeat" functionality, it'll become useless pretty quickly. For instance, in iCal, when you create a new event, you can choose for it to repeat daily, weekly, monthly or yearly. That's easy enough, a simple IntegerField with a 'choices' option. However, iCal also has a "Custom" option. This also has "Daily", "Weekly", "Monthly" and "Yearly" options, except that with each of them, you get to customize it. So for "Daily", it says "Every X days", where "X" is a text field for you to put a number in. For "Weekly", it says "Every X weeks on Y", where X is again a text field, and Y is an option of one of the seven days. Can anyone see a reasonable way to do this with the Django admin, or am I going to have to create a custom form for this?

Re: Trouble with stockphoto

To answer you second question, that all depends on how you deploy. For me, I have a "separate" server called media.awwca.ca, so my MEDIA_URL is 'http://media.awwca.ca/site_media/' (I put quotes around "separate" because physically, it's the same server, but this makes it easier on me if I ever want a physically separate server).

I looked at the stockphoto/models.py code, and discovered it was doing something like STOCKPHOTO_URL[-1], which was obviously causing the error, but I couldn't work out why.

The first part of the URL you're getting, namely "http://127.0.0.1:8000/admin/stockphoto/photo/5; is the correct URL for the admin edit page for the stockphoto model. The part after that, "stockphoto/2007/01/17/newser.jpg" is roughly the correct path to the actual file. BUT, that path should be a child of the media directory, not of the admin edit page.

But based on all the other questions on css, it seems like many others are just as confused as I am. There's nothing special about CSS files. What you're probably seeing, is that Django developers, in general, prefer NOT to have Django serve up the static media. The reason for this is essentially that Apache (or whatever server you use) is highly tuned for serving static media, and it'd be a waste to have Django process those requests. You *can* serve static media in Django, but as you said, you need to use "special code", namely the 'django.views.static.serve' view. What people tend to do is serve their static media from a separate server. If you look at the page source for djangoproject.com, you'll see that the CSS is served from http://media.djangoproject.com For a better explanation, see: http://www.djangoproject.com/documentation/static_files/ Jay P. --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.

In-house intranet app for an engineering company. We had some in-house Python tools that were used pretty heavily, but each user had to run their own version of it, and we couldn't place any controls on how it was used. So, I created a Django app. Engineers would log in, fill in the necessary info into the forms, and hit Submit. Processing would fire stuff off to another dedicated server, a process that could take up to a minute. Eventually, it'd finish, and send the data back to the Django app, presenting the user with the final results (done with a little AJAX). Certain admins could then log in and track what different people had done, as well as grant and remove permissions for individual users to perform certain actions. So essentially, it was a big Django app wrapped around tens of thousands of lines of Python code that was previously used in the end-user tool. Worked like a charm, everyone seemed pretty happy with the system. Hope that helps. I know I didn't offer too much in the way of details, but essentially, it sounds like I did what you plan on doing. The only problem I ran into was getting the AJAX stuff going, but that's only because this was both my first ever Django app, and my first time trying out AJAX. I simply used the AJAX so the "Submit" button would immediately bring the engineer to a new page, and I could keep them up to date on the status as the separate server did its processing.

Django 0.95 is reasonably old now, and by default, it tries to download setuptools 0.6c1, for Python2.5. However, there is no 0.6c1 for Python2.5, the only one they have available is 0.6c3. So here's the easiest thing to try: In the Django 0.95 folder, there should be a file called ez_setup.py. In it, near the top, is the following line: DEFAULT_VERSION = "0.6c1" Change that to DEFAULT_VERSION = "0.6c3" And give the install a try again. If that doesn't work, then try installing setuptools separately, by itself. In the current SVN version of Django, the setuptools stuff has been removed (at least, it was removed at one point, don't know if that's true anymore). So this won't be a problem in the future. You just happened to be one of the few people running Python2.5 and Django 0.95. Most people running 2.5 are probably running Django out of SVN, where this isn't an issue.

Well, the general operation of a generic view is to grab one "list" of
things. Usually this is a list of items in a month, or items in a
year, or items in a day, etc.
However, you can pass extra information to the generic view with the
'extra_context'
Take a look at this: http://awwca.ca/events/
Now, right now, there are no upcoming events, so it only shows all the
past events. However, if there were upcoming events, they would be in
the 'upcoming_events' variable in the context, passed to the template.
You can take a look at the template code here:
http://svn.jayparlar.com/website/trunk/awwca/templates/events/event_list.html
And you can take a look at the urls.py that populates the context for
the template here:
http://svn.jayparlar.com/website/trunk/awwca/events/urls.py
Also, if you want to have stuff in a sidebar, that's always there (no
matter what page you're using), then you'd want something like
template tags. Notice that on every page at awwca.ca, the right
sidebar stuff is always there, and the information there is dynamic.
Look at the "sidebar" div here:
http://svn.jayparlar.com/website/trunk/awwca/templates/base.html, and
notice that it does things like "{%random_thumbnail%}" and "{%
upcoming_events %}" to populate the sidebar.

Yep, the ORM can completely handle that. Check out the urls.py I
pointed out above to see how I select upcoming events from the
database, namely:
def get_upcoming():
return
Event.objects.filter(end_date__gte=datetime.now()).order_by('end_date')
If you don't understand what's going on there, you'll need to read the
documentation more.
Hope this helps,
Jay P.

Well, here's my suggestion then: Start a new thread here in django-users, asking for some TextDrive specific help. A lot of people on this list use TextDrive (a list member is even the one that created TextDrive's screencast). Maybe you can get some answers that way. For better or worse, I use Dreamhost, so I'm afraid I'm not much more help to you. I'm just worried that no one else is reading this thread right now, which is why no one is jumping in to help you with your TextDrive issue.

Re: Automatically adding http:// to a URLField
You could also set a 'default' value for the field, something like default="http://; Then it will be prepopulated, which would help a little.

Well, here's the way I do it. On my development machine, I do all my hacking out of a SVN working directory. When I get everything working how I want it locally, I do my 'svn commit', then login to my production server. >From there, I have an svn checkout. Go there, do my 'svn up'. Then, I do 'svn export --force ...' to make a pristine copy of the contents of the svn checkout into the directory that contains my actual running website. I'm sure there are better ways, but that's the way that works for me. Jay P. --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.

On one site I run, I like to separate the upcoming events (ie whose
end_date is greater than or equal to the current date) from the past
events. I have something like this in my urls.py:
from datetime import datetime
info_dict = {
'queryset': Event.objects.all(),
}
def get_upcoming():
return
Event.objects.filter(end_date__gte=datetime.now()).order_by('end_date')
urlpatterns = patterns('django.views.generic.list_detail',
(r'^/?$', 'object_list', dict(info_dict,allow_empty=True,
extra_context={'upcoming_events':get_upcoming}))
)
The part of that which answers your question (I think) is:
Event.objects.filter(end_date__gte=datetime.now()).order_by('end_date')
Notice also that the 'upcoming_events' extra context is returned by a
function. The reason for this is that I want datetime.now() to be
called everytime the URL is accessed, not just the first time. Putting
a function inside an 'extra_context' causes Django to call the
function each time.
