Re: model subclasses

Why not do this: class Polygon(models.Model): sides = models.IntegerField() side_length = models.IntegerField() def perimeter(self): return sides * side_length (Forgive the syntax. I'm a bit rusty.) This doesn't help with irregular polygons, but with your example, it

first % escapes the second % sign, and thus allows for the actual symbol to display. This is because Python uses % to include variables, etc., into a string. So it's not a bug at all. Erik Vorhes --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribe

Re: At what point does a model get its own app? Wigging as I try to adjust to the Django way.

There's nothing wrong with parceling out models across different apps. And unless you're planning on distributing each app separately, don't worry about cross-app dependencies. In this case, I'd encourage you to--since you'll probably want to do more than just book-related stuff with your

I'm (currently) a low-budget developer, so I'll do mock-ups on graph paper, edit images in Acorn, and then hand code in BBEdit (which I got a great deal on, before TextMate was as robust & awesome as it is now). A good solution for the cost-conscious, aside from TextMate, is Coda. (If you're

Or you can add something to your view to take care of this: def your_view(request): ... some_subset = Model.objects.all()[:10] ... Add it to 'extra_context' and you won't need to do anything trickier than this: {% for model in some_subset %} some stuff {% endfor %} On Fri,

In production environments, you need to use something like Apache or Lighttpd (sp?) to serve media--it's not something you should be doing directly through Django. Check the URL for your image and compare it to MEDIA_URL in your settings.py file (plus anything you're adding through

Re: tutorial question

Using a database doesn't by default make your site searchable. It's a more efficient storage system (usually) than having a bunch of static files. SQLite is an easy way to develop, especially if you're running Python 2.5, but I usually move to a PostgreSQL backend for "production" sites, since

Check out the documentation on URL configuration, if you need something more customized than the default 404.html template. (You don't need to write a special regex for 404 situations, but you could just use, as the *absolute last* pattern something like r'^.*$' (I think). For the most part,

It doesn't necessarily hurt to have apps inside the project folder, but it does make it harder to extract and reuse them. If I remember correctly, you don't need much, aside from settings.py, urls.py, and __init__.py. On Fri, Apr 11, 2008 at 1:09 PM, andy baxter <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > >

I'm not sure how this is more transparent. Don't you mean *less* transparent for your user? Instead of a simple number (or more usable user-defined slug), you're giving them a random string, which will be almost impossible to remember and contains no discernibly useful information. If you

That's because the table storing your information doesn't have an "EventDate" field, and it can't be ordered by something that doesn't exist. You'll need to update the table before it will work correctly. On Mon, Mar 31, 2008 at 1:25 AM, Ryan Vanasse <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > I just

It looks like the issue is one of indentation. There's nothing for "self" to refer to if the method isn't part of the class. --And you're probably better off using __unicode__ than __str__ Try: class Poll(models.Model): question = models.CharField(max_length=200) pub_date =
