Am I using static files "wrong"?

Regarding Django 1.4... I recently came across a post that suggests that the way I'm managing static files is "wrong". I wanted to make sure I'm clear on things. In development, static files are in the "static" folders both within apps at the project level. STATIC_URL = '/static/' When I deploy

Re: When is a good time to use db_index? Rule of thumb?

As an oversimplification.. any time you will be looking up a record based on a field, then you want an index on that (or those) fields. If you're finding a row based on a slug, you want to index that slug field. A good tool is to use the Django debug toolbar. When you load a page you can take a

After you successfully process a POST request, you can use a redirect to send the user back to the orginal page. On Wed, Sep 14, 2011 at 4:24 AM, Tom Evans wrote: > On Wed, Sep 14, 2011 at 8:12 AM, mohammed safeer.mtp > wrote: > > if a user hits

Using gedit for django development

I've written a blog post on using gedit, the default text editor in GNOME, as a Django IDE. If you're a Linux user and you've never considered using gedit for development then this may be an interesting read for you. http://www.micahcarrick.com/gedit-as-a-django-ide-for-linux.html -- You

Django Projects in Gedit

For those of you working in GNOME 3 on Linux, I just put a new plugin up on GitHub for managing django projects from within Gedit. I haven't done much testing yet, so watch that repo for commits over the next few weeks while I'm working on a large Django project.

I had to look up "grok". Guess I'm out of the loop. Anyway, one other pitfall with using absolute URLs in CSS is that you can break SSL (https) when you have common CSS for both the SSL and non-SSL pages. So watch out for that. IMO, relative URLs are preferable in external stylesheets. In fact,

Read-only fields and complex relationships in admin

I've got my site's authentication working with and email and password only--no username (thanks to Shawn Milochik for helping me with that). However, I still need to put in a username to make the User model happy. I was hoping to have "user" as a prefix and then some unique number. I cannot

A Model to store links to other models

I'm having trouble coming up with a pretty solution to a seemingly simple task. I'm relatively new to Django. I want to allow the end user to control various lists of links on the site used for navigation. The admin should allow the creation of "link groups" which have a collection of "links".
