Re: Get child model class

Is your CF base class an abstract base class[1]? If it's not, then your database actually has separate tables for CF, CFI and CFT .. and when you access a `doc.cf` you're really getting the CF model instance, *not* the derived class instance. IIRC if you make CF an abstract base class then this

Thanks Shawn, this is very helpful. It's good to hear Orbited is being actively developed again. I'm not already using RabbitMQ for anything, so I'm going to take the opposite approach: start out doing some test projects with Hookbox, and then try porting them to Orbited. I'm completely new to

Re: Design Question - Extending a model

My instinct is that you may be trying to be too generic. Without knowing more details, a "generic Entry" sounds a lot like .. a database record. :) Django's model.Model base class already does a great job at being easily extensible. Is there a specific minimal-but-interesting set of database

Re: Possibility of recursive rendering

I think the easiest thing to do write two templates and use the {% include %} tag like so: # templates/number_of_comments.html There are {{paragraph.comment_set.all.count}} comments. # templates/display_all_paragraphs.html {% for paragraph in paragraph_set %} Paragraph: {{paragraph.name}} {%

Re: very noob : DRY violation in views.py

Lately I have really liked using custom template tags for these sorts of queries. Once you get the hang of writing them, it's very quick to build a little library of queries in custom tags for your application. These are *very* convenient to use because you don't have to modify views.py -- or

I haven't tried this, but it looks like you can use `django.core.urlresolvers.resolve(path_string)` to figure out if a view exists with a given path. http://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/topics/http/urls/#django.core.urlresolvers.resolve

I don't know what the error means, but this looks like the sort of thing you might want to put on a custom Manager instead -- then you could say `Settore.objects.get_default()`. http://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/topics/db/managers/#topics-db-managers (I have a feeling the error wouldn't

Re: Preview model before saving it

Do you need one-time previews ("are you sure you want to save this?") or real drafts that can be viewed more than once? If you just need an intermediate preview step for the user who's submitting the data, you can do it without saving any data on the backend -- write a "preview" view that
