Thanks Daniel, eliminating the  "_xml" part from {% 
get_free_comment_url_xml shared_bookmark %} tag fixed the issue.  I 
wonder if the reason the why django threaded comments creators had the 
xml piece in their template was for troubleshooting purposes.  It works 
as expected without it.

Thanks,
Tonu

Error when posting a comment

[Tonu Mikk]

I posted this on djangothreadedcomments list some days ago, but did not 
get a response.  Perhaps django users can help me out?


Hello, I am attempting to get threaded comments to work on a shared
bookmarking application.  It seems that I am almost there, but when I
post the comment, I get the following error: "This XML file does not
appear to have any style information associated with it. The document
tree is shown below."

I copied the relevant parts of the application to dpaste.com including
models, views and template:  http://dpaste.com/16206/ .  Perhaps
someone may be able to spot a problem in my application.

Thank you!

I see, this allows me to upload files using the web interface and still 
create links to existing files in the database.

In my case I have the files already on the web server.  The only thing 
that I need to do is to link to them from the database.  When I try 
using the method above, I first read the file into memory like so 
(http://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/topics/files/#topics-files):

>>> from django.core.files import File

# Create a Python file object using open()
>>> f = open('/tmp/hello.world', 'w')
>>> myfile = File(f)

Then I save it with the above method.  The problem I am running into, is that 
when saving the file, it gives is a different name which is the original name 
with an
"_" at the end.  The link in the database also points to the file with this new 
name.  How can I simply create a link in the database to the original file?

Thank you,
Tonu

Karen, thanks for this.  I don't quite see though how I can add the path 
info into this construct.  But here again, lack of Python experience is 
showing.

Jacob, thank you.  If I understand this correctly, I can save the files 
that are attached to objects using the above method instead of this from 
page
http://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/topics/http/file-uploads/#topics-http-file-uploads
 
:

def handle_uploaded_file(f):
destination = open('some/file/name.txt', 'wb+')
for chunk in f.chunks():
destination.write(chunk)
destination.close()

linking to files from database

[Tonu Mikk]

Hi,  I have a model like this:
class Bookmark(models.Model):
  title = models.CharField(max_length=200)
  user = models.ForeignKey(User)
  link = models.ForeignKey(Link)
  desc = models.CharField(max_length=500)
  photo = models.ImageField(upload_to="photos/")
  thumbnail = models.ImageField(upload_to="thumbnails/")
  def __str__(self):
return '%s, %s' % (self.user.username, self.link.url)

I am able to upload a file through a form and save it to a directory 
using this code in views.py (I am not using ModelForms):
def handle_uploaded_file(f):
destination = 
open('/home/dmc/projects/django_bookmarks/site_media/photos/file.jpg', 
'wb+')
for chunk in f.chunks():
destination.write(chunk)
destination.close()

When I try to access the image file using following in a template:


I get an error saying "The 'photo' attribute has no file associated with 
it."
Looking at the database, I see a photo and thumbnail columns, but there 
is no data.  Do I need to write code to store a link to images in the 
photo and thumbnail columns? 

Thank you,

uploading files

[Tonu Mikk]

Hi Django community,

I have a question regarding uploading files.  In this page in Django 
documentation 
http://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/topics/http/file-uploads/#topics-http-file-uploads,
 
there is an example of handling an uploaded file like so:

def handle_uploaded_file(f):
destination = open('some/file/name.txt', 'wb+')
for chunk in f.chunks():
destination.write(chunk)
destination.close()

This code saves the uploaded file with the name 'name.txt'.  I would like to 
save the uploaded file with the original file name.  How could that be 
accomplished?

Thank you!
Tonu

bookmarks app with images

[Tonu Mikk]

Hello, I am having trouble writing a view to upload images. I am 
creating a bookmarks application with Django 1.02 that would have a 
screenshot for each bookmark.  I extended the model in this way to 
include the images:

class Photo(models.Model):
title = models.CharField(max_length=50)
photo = models.ImageField(upload_to="photos/")
bookmarks = models.OneToOneField(Bookmark, primary_key=True)

The forms.py file has the following code related to images:
class BookmarkSaveForm(forms.Form):
  photo = forms.ImageField(
label='Upload screenshot',
required=False
)

I am not quite sure how to write views.py code for the saving the images 
to the specified directories.  Any suggestions on how to get started 
with this is appreciated.

Thank you,

Re: porting OpenBookPlatform to Django v1

[Tonu Mikk]

Here is a bit more info on the error that I am getting with 
OpenBookPlatform.

When I try to access booklist in OpenBookPlatform I received this error:
Exception Value: Could not import apps.books.views. Error was: cannot 
import name validators

Same error appears when I try to use the Register link:
Exception Value: Could not import apps.users.views.auth. Error was: 
cannot import name validators

I suspect that I am receiving this error because OpenBookPlatform was 
created in Django version 0.97 and it seems that the django validators 
have changes sufficiently between 1.0 and previous versions.
I see a line in views.py:  from django.core import validators .  I am 
wondering if I need to be using a different string here?

Thank you,
Tonu

Looks like I got it figured out ...

The problem was in urls.py file in /var/www/polls/pollngo in this line:

urlpatterns = patterns('polls.views',

I changed it to

urlpatterns = patterns('polls.pollngo.views',

and it started to work!  Yey!

Apache virtual host setup trouble

[Tonu Mikk]

Hello,

I am trying to port a django project that is working with development 
server to be served from Apache Virtual Host, but having some trouble 
configuring the correct directories.  Any help is appreciated.  This is 
with Django version 1, Apache 2.2 + mod_python.

The virtual host is at polls.dmc.umn.edu .  It has following directives:
DocumentRoot /var/www/polls
ServerName polls.dmc.umn.edu

allow from all
Options None


SetHandler python-program
PythonHandler django.core.handlers.modpython
PythonPath "['/var/www'] + sys.path"
SetEnv DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE polls.settings
PythonDebug On


The root url in setting.py is  ROOT_URLCONF = 'polls.urls'
The urls.py in /var/www/polls is

from django.conf.urls.defaults import *

urlpatterns = patterns('',
# Example:
(r'^', include('polls.pollngo.urls')),

The urls.py in /var/www/polls/pollngo is
from django.conf.urls.defaults import *
from django.views.generic.simple import direct_to_template

urlpatterns = patterns('polls.views',
(r'^$', 'index'),
(r'^poll/(?P[^\.^/]+)/$', 'question'),
(r'^create/$', 'create'),
(r'^help/$', 'help'),
(r'^results/(?P[^\.^/]+)/$', 'results'),
)


The views.py file is in /var/www/polls/pollngo

When I access the page, I get:
Environment:

Karen, thank you.  I changed my Location directive to


SetHandler python-program
PythonHandler django.core.handlers.modpython
PythonPath "['/var/www'] + sys.path"
SetEnv DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE polls.settings
PythonDebug On


I am now able to get past the previous error.  However, I now get the 
error about URLConf.  I was able to run the project on the development 
server with the current URL configuration.  I am not quite sure what I 
need to change in my URLConf file.  Thanks for your help.

Tonu


  Page not found (404)

Request Method: GET
Request URL:http://ciaran.dmc.umn.edu/polls/

Using the URLconf defined in |polls.urls|, Django tried these URL 
patterns, in this order:

   1. ^ ^$
   2. ^ ^poll/(?P[^\.^/]+)/$
   3. ^ ^create/$
   4. ^ ^help/$
   5. ^ ^results/(?P[^\.^/]+)/$
   6. ^ ^admin/
   7. ^ ^site_media/(?P.*)$
   8. ^admin/

The current URL, |polls/|, didn't match any of these.

The URLConf in polls/directory is following:

from django.conf.urls.defaults import *

urlpatterns = patterns('',
# Example:
(r'^', include('polls.pollngo.urls')),

# Uncomment this for admin:
(r'^admin/', include('django.contrib.admin.urls')),
)


The URLConfi in pollngo directory is following:

from django.conf.urls.defaults import *
from django.views.generic.simple import direct_to_template

urlpatterns = patterns('pollngo.views',
(r'^$', 'index'),
(r'^poll/(?P[^\.^/]+)/$', 'question'),
(r'^create/$', 'create'),
(r'^help/$', 'help'),
(r'^results/(?P[^\.^/]+)/$', 'results'),
)

urlpatterns += patterns('',
(r'^admin/', include('django.contrib.admin.urls')),
)

Apache and mod_python trouble

[Tonu Mikk]

Hello,

I am having trouble configuring Apache and mod_python to work with my 
project.

I am using Ubuntu Linux 7.10 with Apache 2.  My project is in 
/var/www/polls directory.  This is also where the settings.py file is.  
This directory and all files and directories are owned by  www-data (the 
user under which Apache is running) and they have 755 rights.

I have configured Apache httpd.conf file like so (only relevant parts 
are included):


Order allow,deny
allow from all



SetHandler python-program
PythonHandler django.core.handlers.modpython
PythonPath "['/var/www/polls'] + sys.path"
SetEnv DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE polls.settings
PythonDebug On


I am getting the following error when I access ciaran.dmc.umn.edu/polls 
.  Any help is appreciated.

Thanks, Tonu

Re: template questions

[Tonu Mikk]

I got it figured out after getting the Documentation link to work in 
Admin pages.  The documentation helped me to see that I can refer to the 
polls by {{poll.id}} in my template.

Create a URL like so:  {{poll.question}}

Modified the URLConf file to include the admindocs and included the 
admindocs application in the settings.py file.  That produced a link.  
Once I had that, I needed to install python docs library.

template questions

[Tonu Mikk]

These are probably an extreme newby questions, but I cannot figure it out.

1.  I am working through the tutorial for building a Polls application.  
On part 3 it talks about creating public views for the applications.  I 
would like to modify the index template to present a list of polls and 
have the polls linked to the details about the polls (ie the details 
view at a Url polls/1/.  How could I do that?

2.  In my  Admin site I do not see a link to Documentation in the upper 
right hand corner.  How could I get it there?

Thank you,
Tonu
