Re: installation issues
Can you tell us what version of Django you tried to install and what exact steps you took? I am using the Django development version on a mac and 'import django' works just fine. I would recommend you install svn through the link below: http://metissian.com/downloads/macosx/subversion/subversion-client-1.3.1.dmg Then follow the instructions from the link below to the letter and everything should work just fine. http://www.djangoproject.com/documentation/install/#installing-the-developme nt-version Best, Vincent On 7/12/07 10:42 PM, "surfwizz" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > I installed python from www.python.org, so the command prompt opens it > into 2.5.1.

Maybe an example would be useful as well: == Apache conf file === ServerName site.com ServerAdmin [EMAIL PROTECTED] DocumentRoot /home/user/django/site SetHandler python-program PythonPath "['/home/user/django'] + sys.path" PythonHandler django.core.handlers.modpython SetEnv DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE recruiting_new.settings #PythonDebug On SetHandler None SetHandler None Site_media is a sub-directory in my site directory.

By using: python manage.py shell all the 'settings' are taken care of for you so you don't have to do any exports or anything like that.

extends admin/change_list.html bug?
Hi,
I created a page that
{% extends "admin/change_list.html" %}
Everything is working fine except, for some reason, the page doesn't show
the links in {% block userlinks %} when I use apache but it *does* show them
when I use the development server. The code is exactly the same on both
setups.
These are the 'documentation, change password, logout' links you see on any
standard admin page, and I *do* see them on admin pages on my apache setup.
The apache setup does find the admin css stuff fine so I don't think that
the apache configuration could be the problem. Also, I can customize
admin/base.html just fine.
Any ideas what could be going on? I am using svn 5559.
Thanks,
Vincent

Re: Customize change_list using a filter
If you want to use the admin page, you can add the following into your model
class.
class Admin:
list_display('cars')
list_filter = ('cars')
If you want to create a custom page outside of admin then it is a little
more difficult (for me at least :) ). I made a page like that last week. I
can send you the code if you are interested.
Best,

Re: How can I rename uploaded files to a random filename?
If you just want to upload some files you might do something like the
following. The save function uses plain python to save the files to the
FILE_UPLOAD_DIR you defined in your setting file. You can play around with
the file names as much as you want here.
Question: Why a random name?
Vincent
class Application_files(forms.Form):
cv = forms.Field(label = 'CV *', widget = forms.FileInput(),
help_text="pdf or Word document")
paper = forms.Field(label = 'Paper *', widget = forms.FileInput(),
help_text="pdf or Word document")
def save(file,key,user,ext,overwrite=True):
if ext in ['pdf','doc']:
f = open('%s%s_%s.%s' %
(settings.FILE_UPLOAD_DIR,key,user,ext,),'wb')
f.write(file)
f.close()
def apply(request):
if request.POST:
for i in request.FILES.keys():
ext = request.FILES[i]['filename'][-3:].lower()
file = request.FILES[i]['content']
save(file,i,request.user,ext.lower())
else:
form = Application_files()
return render_to_response('apply/apply.html',{'form':form,})

Custom admin view - sorting, filters, and search
The admin change list pages you get 'for free' when you add: class Admin: list_display = ( ... ) list_filter = ( ... ) search_fields = ( ... ) to your model are really nice. I'd like to add these features to my custom admin pages as well. I am getting part of the way there to sort the data shown in a template by clicking the column header of a data table but even that is still very clunky. Does anyone have any examples of how to add one or more of these components to a template that extends admin/base_site.html and the associated views.py?

Re: CSS on dev server, same old problem
I think it should work if you use:
(r'^appsmedia/(?P.*)$', 'django.views.static.serve',
{'document_root': '/nobackup/reis/Project/Manager/templates/
appsmedia'}),
On the template:
Or
(r'^manager/appsmedia/(?P.*)$', 'django.views.static.serve',
{'document_root': '/nobackup/reis/Project/Manager/templates/
appsmedia'}),
On the template:
This is what I used:
(r'^site_media/(?P.*)$', 'django.views.static.serve',
{'document_root': '/home/user/django/project/site_media'}),
Works fine.

Re: form_for_model + FileField issue
Malcolm,
I wasn't very clear in my question. Sorry about that.
It took a bit of trial and error but I found a hack that works the way I
want it to. I use the model and form_for_model/form_for_instance for all
fields except the file uploads. For the file uploads I use FileInput(). That
was what I meant by '... I could leave the FileFields out of the model and
use a form class for those fields instead.'
I you have any suggestions on how to secure/improve/validate this please let
me know.
Thanks,
Vincent

form_for_model + FileField issue
Hi,
I have a form linked to a model. I am using form_for_model or
form_for_instance as required.
The only issue is that FileField fields are not displayed with a 'browse'
button. The function I am using is given below.
I know from the documentation that model fields get converted to form fields
by form_for_model (e.g., FileField to CharField).
But I want a FileField in my form :) Is there a way around this? Or another
way to create the form linked to the model that does not use form_for_model
or form_for_instance?
Thanks,
Vincent

Re: Adding a group, and users to that group
Thanks for the help Russ:
That worked. Next problem :) I want to add users to a group.
g = Group.objects.get(name='section81')
gives errors.
If I could get that to work I'd want to add a user to that group:
u = User.objects.get(username='doe')
This also give errors.
Finally:
u.groups.add(g)
Which doesn't work because the previous 2 didn't :)
Sorry to ask multiple questions about this but I can't seem to find any
clear documentation on this.

Adding a group, and users to that group
Hi,
I am trying to create a group so that I can then add users to that group. I
tried the following which is very similar to how you create users.
from django.contrib.auth.models import Group
g = Group.objects.create('section81')
However this give the following error:
exceptions.TypeErro Traceback (most recent call last)
TypeError: create() takes exactly 1 argument (2 given)
Any ideas?
Thanks,
Vincent

Re: Form input to csv + file upload

Form input to csv + file upload
Below is an example of the type form I used to process with a python cgi script. Now I am trying to move everything over to Django. Question: If I want to save the file to a directory and information about the submitter (e.g., name and time of submission) directly to a csv file, how would I do that in Django? Do you need 'newforms' to do that? In the documentation it seems that if you use newforms you would have to save everything to a database. Is that really necessary? For some of my forms I want to save information in a dbase that but probably not for all. I am getting the hang of templates and authentication in Django but forms look a bit more complicated.

Re: include statements for non-dynamic pages
Russell,
I think I am starting to get the basic idea of 'extends' for templates.
However, I don't get what I need to do to get my basic example (or your
example for that matter) to generate the page I want to see in my browser.
It doesn't just work the way php would here so I am guessing I need to add a
'view' or do something with 'urls.py' or both but I can't figure out what
that would be since I am not processing anything or sending any information
to the page.
Thanks,
Vincent
