Joining Tables

[Swaroop Shankar V]

Hi,
I got a models which is as follows:

class Photos(models.Model):
"""
This model will enable the users to upload photos
"""
user = models.ForeignKey(User)
title = models.CharField(_('Title'), max_length=250, null = True, blank
= True)
description = models.TextField(_('Description'), null = True, blank =
True)
image = models.ImageField(_('Image'), upload_to=get_image_path)
created_on = models.DateTimeField(auto_now_add = True)
updated_on = models.DateTimeField(auto_now = True)

The user field is a foreign key to django auth User model. Each user is
assigned to a group (django Auth Group model). I want to retrieve all the
photos which belongs to users of a specific group. How can it be done?

Thanks and Regards,

Swaroop Shankar V

Since Django has its own database schema, can we still use sqlalchemy instead?

Hi, everyone:

Since Django has its own database schema, can we still use sqlalchemy

Cause I didn't know about it. I just followed the directions I found
at:

https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/topics/install/

Is there some reason that wouldn't work?

Problem getting django on mac (10.5/Leopard) working

[larry.mart...@gmail.com]

I am trying to get django working on my mac. I downloaded it from SVN
to /usr/local/django-trunk and it's there:

$ ls /usr/local/django-trunk/
__init__.py corehttptemplatetags bin
db  middleware  test
confdispatchshortcuts   utils   
contrib forms
templateviews

I updated my site-packages with a django.pth file:

$ cat /Library/Python/2.5/site-packages/django.pth
/usr/local/django-trunk

python does have this dir in its path:

$ python -c "import sys; print sys.path"

Jade Templating Engine

[bluesolver]

Has anyone tried using the Jade templating engine with Django?

They have written a library called PyJade on Github, and they seem to
have worked in some Django integration.  I was just curious if anyone
had taken the plunge and actually used it.


Cheer,

Is models.DateTime timezone aware ?

[Matěj Cepl]

I have in my first Django app this model (selection):

class Post(models.Model):
# ...
updated = models.DateTimeField(default=datetime.datetime.now())
published = models.DateTimeField(blank=True)

When looking at the database dump of the generated database I see that 
the date is saved as timezone aware:


'2008-07-10 10:00:00+02:00','2008-07-10 10:00:00+02:00'

However, when in the test I try

self.assertEqual(test_entry.updated,
dateutil.parser.parse(u"2008-07-10T10:00:00+02:00"))

test fails, and I can use only

self.assertEqual(test_entry.updated,
dateutil.parser.parse(u"2008-07-10T10:00:00"))

What am I missing? Any thoughts, please?

Thank you,

Matěj

csrf middleware uses only request.POST query dict during csrf check, and not request.raw_post_data

[Bhaskar]

I have two django apps in my django website:

app1:
set of views (REST apis):
 - sends empty response with csrf cookie set for GET requests
 - accept JSON string as input for POST requests and do some business
operations

app2:
set of views (django UI client which consumes apis from app1):
 - accept data from django forms/ajax posts in JSON format
 - performs some operations with the data
 - invokes the REST apis from app1 and sends the JSON data (using
urllib2 package)

In this scenario, I wish to use the built-in django csrf protection
I encountered '403 FORBIDDEN' http errors and finally tried the
following code which theoretically should work as per my knowledge:

Sample view of my app2:
def addSomething(request):
if request.method == 'POST':
userData = json.loads(request.raw_post_data)
# I make sure csrf cookie and csrfmiddlewaretoken are set in
my request:
#   - I first make a 'GET' request, get the csrf token
#   - Set the csrf cookie, and update csrfmiddlewaretoken
in my POST data
#   - convert my POST data to JSON , use urllib2 to invoke
the POST request
cookieHandler = urllib2.HTTPCookieProcessor()
opener = urllib2.build_opener(urllib2.HTTPHandler(),
cookieHandler)
urllib2.install_opener(opener)
url = 'http://www.mysite.com/add/'
urllib2.urlopen(url)
csrf_cookie = None
for cookie in cookieHandler.cookiejar:
if cookie.name == 'csrftoken':
csrf_cookie = cookie
break
if csrf_cookie:
userData['csrfmiddlewaretoken']=csrf_cookie.value
req = urllib2.Request(url, json.dumps(userData))
response = urllib2.urlopen(req)
return HttpResponse(response)

Now, as per django csrf middleware, I am sending the same, valid csrf
token in both cookie and in POST data
But still the above code will give me '403 forbidden'
after browsing csrf.py code, I could see that, while processing the
view, the csrf token is taken from request.POST only during the csrf
check

But my POST data is a json string, and not a django POST query dict
The middleware thinks that my csrf cookie and csrfmiddlewaretoken
values are not matching and raises 403 http error

Now my above code will work only if I do csrf_exempt(which is not good
for me)
or
Change my REST api to accept urlencoded parameters instead of JSON
string and make my app2 to invoke api with querydict instead of JSON
string (which is also not good for me)

My question is - can the csrf.py be changed so that it uses either
request.POST query dict or request.raw_post_data during csrf
comparison?

NOTE:
my environment details:
os: windows 7
python 2.7
django 1.3.1
code reference in csrf.py where request.POST is accessed to get the
csrfmiddleware token:
django\middleware\csrf.py
Line no 199: # check incoming token
Line no 200: request_csrf_token =
request.POST.get('csrfmiddlewaretoken', '')

I have modified the csrf.py so that it refers to request.raw_post_data
as well in my environment. it works for me
I am new to REST api implementation and stuff, so please correct me if
I am missing something here
looking forward for help
Thanks

Directory layout for a large Django application (not project)

[IgorS]

Can someone recommend “the optimal” directory layout INSIDE the
application’s root directory for a large application. The question is
about one application only, not the whole project.

I am looking for a layout where all the code, settings, static stuff
(images, css, js), etc. relating to this particular application stay
inside the application’s root directory. It is probably ok to set a
couple of values in the project's settings.py, but everything else
should be inside the application’ directory. Something completely plug
and play (even in a production environment)…

If something “must” or should go outside of the application’s root
(for speed optimization, etc.), that is great to know too.

If, apart from the recommendations, someone could point at an existing
large well-structured application, that would be awesome.

Below is my current structure. I am new to Django and probably missing
something... Restructuring an application somewhere in the middle of
the development cycle is more expensive than just having the "right"
layout from the start. Especially if this is possible. I consider a
small overhead at the start being better than a great rework in the
middle (yes, i am aware of the minimal viable product concept :-)

Automatic Client side validation for django forms

Hi,

   I was wondering if there exists some in-built AJAX validation on the
form fields at the client side in django libraries. The form contains
commonly used fields which are mostly alpha-numeric.

Re: Correct folder layout for a big Django application

[IgorS]

Thank you, yati. Thank you Waldek. Your responses are much
appreciated.

It seems that my question was not clear. This is all my fault. I was
searching for some sort of "the most recommended" or "optimal" folder
layout INSIDE the application folder. In other words, a layout where
all the code, settings, static stuff, etc. relating to this particular
application stay inside the application folder. It is probably ok to
set a couple of values in the project's settings.py, but everything
else should be inside the application folder.

Since the question was not clear, i am going to start a new one and
show my current layout there.

Best wishes,

Authentication over JSON

[Kevin Anthony]

I have a small exposed json API, currently it doesn't require
authentication, but i'd like to integrate it with django's authentication.
 A quick google search came up empty, and i was wondering if anyone had
any recommendations on how to do this?

Re: Is the django coummity converging on a preferred REST API package?

[JohnA]

Thanks for the comments.  The developer-friendly features of Django
REST framework sound very interesting.  I will definitely check it
out.

Re: Is the django coummity converging on a preferred REST API package?

[sbrandt]

Thumbs up for Django REST framework. While being younger than tastypie
and piston, it has some more cool features besides the mentioned
creation of doc above.

It also creates a HTML debug interface for every resource and follows
the  class based views and form validation paradigms of django making
it powerful and esay to learn. It's under active development - the
other two were not the last time I looked.

Re: input of one select box into another

[Weldan]

I am looking for same answer.

Currently this is what i was doing:

1. load javascript into form page
2. for each select box, call ajax to return next select box value
example:

1. form loaded, select box 1 has values
2. user choose values from select box 1, get select box 2 values with
select box 1 chosen value, same on select box 3

has anyone did the same? or is there an easy/correct way to do this?

Re: Is the django coummity converging on a preferred REST API package?

[David Harks]

While I can't really comment on the thoughts of the Django team itself 
(for inclusion in Django proper), I will suggest that aside from 
Tastypie the other 'best-of-breed' REST framework is the simply-named 
Django REST Framework: http://django-rest-framework.org/.


As opposed to Tastypie, it has one truly killer feature, IMHO: their 
Resource/ModelResource classes provide an automatically-generated HTML 
documentation for the exposed API. Browse the API's endpoints and it'll 
tell you how to interact with it using JSON or XML.


On 1/6/2012 6:31 PM, Brett Epps wrote:

I used Tastypie for a project recently and was pretty happy with it.  I
think Piston was the preferred package before Tastypie came about, but
Piston hasn't seen as much development recently.  Then again, Piston seems
to be good enough for Bitbucket, so it's probably good enough for many
projects.

Sorry I can't offer much technical advice on this topic, as I'm no expert
on either package.  To answer your question, though: to me, Tastypie
"feels" like the preferred package currently.

I guess what I'm asking is, what if any REST API package is emerging

Facebook like activity feed commenting using django comments framework

[Swaroop Shankar V]

hello All,
Am trying to build somewhat like an activity stream for my web application.
Since its not exactly similar to the normal activity streams found in
facebook I am not able to use any of the existing django activity stream
projects like django-activity-stream in my application. So I am building it
from scratch. I would like to make use of the django commenting system for
commenting on each post that show's up on the activity steam. Since i would
like to use ajax to post comments, I will require an API, using which I can
save the comment posted to the commenting system framework table. I looked
through the documentation but could not figure out how i can do it. If
someone have any experience in doing the same please let me know the
procedures.

Copying and Writing EXIF information from one file to another

[Swaroop Shankar V]

Hi,
Am trying to copy the exif information to the resized image of the same
image using pyexiv2. Searching for a solution i stumbled upon a post in Stack
Overflow.
It looks like the api's used in the function is outdated and is not
available in the latest version. Based on the latest document i created a
function like this

def write_exif(originFile, destinationFile, **kwargs):
exifInformation = get_exif(originFile)
metadata = pyexiv2.ImageMetadata(str(destinationFile))
for key, value in exifInformation.iteritems():
metadata[key] = value

metadata.write()

def get_exif(file):
"""
Retrieves EXIF information from a image
"""
ret = {}
metadata = pyexiv2.ImageMetadata(str(file))
metadata.read()
info = metadata.exif_keys
for key in info:
data = metadata[key]
ret[key] = data.raw_value
return ret

But this ends up in an error


Python argument types in
_ExifTag._setParentImage(_ExifTag, NoneType)
did not match C++ signature:
_setParentImage(exiv2wrapper::ExifTag {lvalue},
exiv2wrapper::Image {lvalue})


I am now clueless on what went wrong. Could someone please help me out?
Thanks

Re: many-to-many queryset question

[Carsten Fuchs]

Hi Peter,

One possibility is to try two excludes.

bad_authors = Authors.objects.exclude(pk__in=SetOfAuthors)
qs = Entry.objects.exclude(authors__in=bad_authors)

This will return all entries that don't have authors in SetOfAuthors. It might 
even be
easier, if you can skip creating SetOfAuthors in the first place.



That works very well!  :-)
Thank you very much for your help!

Django admin date and time picker not working

[Santiago Ingold]

I'm following the 4 part tutorial at djangoproject.com.

In the 2nd part of it (https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.3/intro/
tutorial02/) im configuring the admin interface, it works fine, except
for the fact that date and time javascript pickers does not appear.

I've been following the tutorial step by step, so I can't imagine what
i'm doing wrong.

Also, the widget does not appear in admin/auth/user/1/ neither

Any ideas? Thanks

input of one select box into another

different models.
