Re: Adding link to admin page

[Mike Dewhirst]

I should have mentioned that {% extends "admin/base.html" %} is actually 
extending the django admin/base.html in site-packages because there is 
no such file in my SRC_ROOT/templates/admin directory.

In any case, I tried that and it had no effect. Thanks for trying.

User/UserProfile Queryset problem

[bcrem]

Hello Django Nerds!

So I have a (somewhat) complicated lookup I'm trying to do; here's the
gist of it:

  1.  I have a Store class, with a User ManyToManyField, Store.users
  2.  I have a user profile class associated with each user,
UserProfile, accessible through the usual User.get_profile()
  3.  UserProfile has a status variable, UserProfile.status, which can
be 'Active', 'Inactive', or 'Deleted'

I'm trying to display a list of users for a particular store;
currently I generate this list using the following line:

   userList = request.session['currentStore'].users.all()

Works great; however, now I'd like to filter out all users with a
status of 'Deleted'.  Now, if status were a User attribute, I could
just try this:

   userList =
request.session['currentStore'].users.exclude(status=='Deleted')

or something similar.

THE PROBLEM:  How do I generate this no-deleted-users list for the
given store, using the ManyToManyField Store.users, but based on the
store.users UserProfile.status?  I know there's some kinky django
black magic reverse-lookup way to do it in a single magnificent
line...just haven't a clue what it might be.  Ideas?

First person with the right answer: thank you - please treat yourself
to a donut...

Re: Much the same code, different businesses

[Doug Ballance]

There are a few choices that I'm familiar with.

1) Create a separate project/settings file for each of your stores,
overriding templates as needed by placing assigning a template path
for the project.  I think this is pretty much the recommended way to
do things, especially if the number of sites are reasonably small.  It
offers great data isolation (using a different database for each), and
it allows you to use all kinds of django apps and plugins.  For mass
hosting, this is going to require more resources since you'll have
workers for each site rather than a shared pool of workers.

2) Do some 'strange things', such as changing database or schema on a
per-request basis using threadlocals and a middleware. This offers
much of the capability of 1, but there may be compatibility issues
(module level caching for example) and tricky foreignkey
restrictions.http://tidbids.posterous.com/saas-with-django-and-postgresql
That post, and some of the comments will probably be of interest to
you.

2) Do your own multi-tenant user setup.  There isn't anything built in
for this, and as a result you lose a lot of the built in functionality
like the admin as well as any hope of using user aware third-party
apps.  This is the way I ended up going.  We use a custom template
loader/middleware to check for site specific templates, site specific
caching, and a custom siteuser/site framework.  All data is stored in
the same database, with ownership linked back to the custom siteusers/
sites and permission checking related to the views.  We keep the
django user and sites framework as well, but use it/the admin for
administration use only.  This is the most complicated path, but I
think the advantages make it worth it for a large number of sites. We
can add sites using an admin interface, and use fewer resources since
caching and workers are all shared.

Thank you Reinout! I really appreciate the explanation. :)

I will use the wsgi.py as a replacement and see how it goes.

Much appreciated. Have a great day!

Basically, django uses the first template it finds so if it finds the 
"real" one in site-packages first, it stops looking. Try reversing the 
sequence of loaders in your settings.py

Is there anyone that can provide some assistance with overriding
base_site.html? I copied django/contrib/admin/templates/admin/
base_site.html to my projects's templates/admin dir, but changes to it
are not getting picked up. I also tried adding that to TEMPLATE_DIRS
(there was nothing in it before). In urlpatterns I have: (r'^admin/',
include(admin.site.urls)) - does that need to change?

Authentication and Modeling question.

[Lee Hinde]

I'm working on a rewrite of an app that has three categories of users
and I'm wondering about the best way to link them to the
authentication system:

In-House Staff.
Contractors
Customers who interact via the app.

The in-house staff model doesn't store any address info. Contractor
and Customer have some common attributes  (address, phone number,
email, etc.) but they have completely different relationships to the
rest of the system.

In the current version I have discrete models for each type and I
manually maintain a link to the equivalent of the user profile table.
But I don't have model inheritance available in the current system.

My question is, do you have any general advice for this and how would
you link it to the existing Auth system, or is there a 3rd party auth
system that you'd recommend I look at.

Thanks.

Re: How to adjust grid in Django Admin Forms

[Steven]

I tried changing width from 8em to 16em in /usr/local/lib/python2.7/

two places where it appeared:

.aligned label{

}

and

.inline-group .aligned-label{

but to no avail. Is there someplace else I should be looking??

Using firebug I spotted this css for the label tag (Django 1.2
installation, might be different in more recent versions):
.aligned label {
display: block;
float: left;
padding: 3px 10px 0 0;
width: 8em;
}

So, you would probably want to override that (the width, especially)
in a custom css file. The documentation should contain the details of
how to do that.

How to adjust grid in Django Admin Forms

[Steven]

I've just created a model in Django and want to use the admin form to
enter information for it. The problem I'm having is that my field
names are so long that they overlap the edit boxes where their values
are to be entered.

If one follows the tutorial in the Django website, it's as if the
label "Question:" overlapped the edit box where one was supposed to
enter a question.

The file "fieldset.html" in the /admin/includes sub-directory seems to
have the relevant code:


{% if fieldset.name %}{{ fieldset.name }} - Foo Test{%
endif %}
{% for line in fieldset %}

  {% for field in line %}

   {{ field.label_tag }}{{ field.field }}

{% endfor %}

{% endfor %}


What I can't figure out is how to allocate more space to
{{ field.label_tag }}, so that it is not covered up by
{{ field.label_tag }}.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks

I think there are three steps to do this:
 1. Create a subclass of models.base.ModelBase (called OwnModelBase
for this example)
 2. Override methods you want to customize.
 3. Model definition:
class MyModel(models.Model):
__metaclass__ = OwnModelBase
...

I think that should work, although I haven't tested this. For examples
transmeta has an overridden metaclass, so you can check what they do
[http://code.google.com/p/django-transmeta/source/browse/trunk/
transmeta/__init__.py].

Hello,

This is is probably a silly question, but...

I just installed a fresh copy ofDjango 1.4 (mod_wsgi 3.3/Python 2.7)

In 1.3, the command startproject (IIRC) generated a myproject.wsgi
that lived next to myporject folder.

In the 1.4 installer, the wsgi file is no longer generated and there's
the new myproject/wsgi.py file.

I have read the docs (and Googled around a little bit) but I don't
fully understand wsgi.py does.


In 1.3, there was no wsgi file. So either you added it yourself or 
webfaction automatically adds it.


1.4 started adding that wsgi.py file. It should be a drop-in replacement 
for the one you have now, basically.


(Only thing to watch out for: wsgi.py hardcodes settings.py, so if you 
want to use a productionsettings.py or so you should take a good hard look).

Much the same code, different businesses

[Nick Mellor]

Hi all,

I'm wanting the same code to run many fairly simple, near-identical
websites. That's the bottom line.

I've had a look through the group archives and found a couple of
hints.

My planned application serves small grocery businesses taking orders
and making weekly home deliveries for their customers. It is planned
to serve a large number of small businesses (<10 staff each, no of
businesses potentially in the 1000s). They are all small retailers
with a need for their own domain name, their own "look", their own
(broadly similar but different) data, their own Admin console and
their own stationery (mainly invoicing.) But the Django code running
each will be near-identical.

Questions:

Is there one, and only one, obvious way to do it in Django?

What is that way?

Databases (PostgreSQL.) Would you:

(i) separate the database for each business
(ii) use a StoreId in all queries or
(iii) implement row-level permissions to restrict access to data?

Any other comments?

Best wishes,

Nick

Re: philosophy behind sites and applications in Django

Hi guys, I'm new in Django (I started with the 1.3 and now I'm playing
with the 1.4) and I'd like to understand better the phylosophy behind
the concepts of sites and applications.
Ok a site can contain multiple applications and an application can live
in many sites, that's simple.

Now.

For me a site is like a "container" of applications and every
application accomplish a particular job just like manage polls, articles
and so on. But a site must have its own graphic style, and in particular
common parts, just like user management.

How do you handle these "trasversal" (common) components?
For example, is it possible to define a css at site level? How to deal
with user management and other commont funcionalities?


You're right, a site is a container of applications and an application 
should do one thing and one thing only.


Normally, you don't want your site to contain applications and at the 
same time have those applications inherit from your site's main template 
or so.



But... django sticks all the templates/ and static/ directories of all 
apps and sites together. So nothing stops you from sticking a very basic 
base template in every app ("yourapp/templates/base.html") with just a 
sidebar and main content block or so. You can have your apps use that.


In your site, you provide the real "yoursite/templates/base.html", which 
will win because your site is higher up in the INSTALLED_APPS list. 
Stuff that one full with the real layout and css, but keep providing the 
sidebar and content block (or whatever you need).



Alternative: just make templates in the apps and customize them in the 
site. Not as nice imho.



ALternative: start a base UI app that just provides a layout. Use that 
in the apps.

Re: Pip install matplotlib error with virtualenv

You can install matplotlib just fine in your virtualenv, but with one 
prerequisite: all necessary libraries and header files must be available 
for pip to be able to compile matplotlib.


This compiling-and-grabbing-headers stuff is already handled for you by 
your OS and now you'll have to do it yourself. Which is fine, but it 
*does* mean you must have all xyz-devel packages installed.



An alternative is to keep your global python clean and only install 
specific packages with your OS that are best handled by the OS. Don't 
"pip install" other stuff by hand.

Re: Tweepy Status Error

[Amit]

In the example given in doc of tweepy, the process_status is a user
defined method. You have to define this method.
Its just a reference given. Define a method process_status and do
whatever you want to do with status.

De-serialization of ManyToManyField

[sk]

Hi,

I have searched high and low to an answer to this, but have been
unable too turn anything up. Apologies if I have overlooked an answer
or explanation elsewhere.

I have set up a very simple model as follows:
---
from django.db import models
class TestManager(models.Manager):
def get_by_natural_key(self, name):
return self.get(name=name,)

class Test(models.Model):
name = models.CharField(max_length = 100, unique = True)
date = models.DateField()

def __unicode__(self):
return self.name

def natural_key(self):
return (self.name)

class InstanceManager(models.Manager):
def get_by_natural_key(self, name):
return self.get(name=name,)

class Instance(models.Model):
name = models.CharField(max_length = 100, unique = True)
test = models.ManyToManyField(Test)
date = models.DateField()

def __unicode__(self):
return self.name

def natural_key(self):
return (self.name)
---

looking at the admin interface I am able to add a couple of
'tests' (test 1 and test 2). I am then able to add an instance which
is linked to both test 1 and test 2. If I dump the data to YAML format
then I get the following (for the two tables in question):

---
- fields: {date: 2012-03-26, name: test 1}
  model: TempDB.test
  pk: 1
- fields: {date: 2012-03-26, name: test 2}
  model: TempDB.test
  pk: 2
- fields:
date: 2012-03-26
name: Instance 1
test: [test 1, test 2]
  model: TempDB.instance
  pk: 1
---

This is roughly what I would expect to see, although the documentation
does not explicitly state that a manytomany serialization will be a
multi-element list, it seems to be a reasonable assumption.

When I try to perform a loaddata with this output (and after manually
deleting the tables from the admin interface, to be sure). I get the
following error:

Problem installing fixture '/home//workspace/THMDB/THMDB/TempDB/
fixtures/test.yaml': Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/Django-1.4-py2.7.egg/
django/core/management/commands/loaddata.py", line 190, in handle
for obj in objects:
  File "/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/Django-1.4-py2.7.egg/
django/core/serializers/pyyaml.py", line 62, in Deserializer
raise DeserializationError(e)
DeserializationError: [u"'test 1' value must be an integer."]

What exactly have I done wrong? I suspect I have made an error in
defining the managers. I have defined two as I planned to link too
instances from another table. I left in the definition in case it is
the cause of the error. However it still does the same thing if I
comment it out.

I am running Django 1.4 on python 2.7 under Ubuntu 11.10.

Many thanks for your help.

Stephen

Re: Multiple Choice Quiz

[Babatunde Akinyanmi]

jbr3,
https://gist.github.com/2204408
The code is most likely buggy and might be insecure because I'm not really
sure if hackers can use radio buttons to submit malicious stuff.
The idea is using the model structure Shawn gave. I created a custom form
class which extracts some Question instances. Since Answers foreignKey to
Questions, the answers linked to each question can be retrieved. There is a
function that takes these Questions and its related Answers and then
outputs the html for the form such that the Answers are displayed as radio
buttons. If the custom form comes in with data from the request, the
customForm determines how many of them are correct. If you go through the
code you would see how the boolean in Answer can be used to determine the
correct answer.
We can talk about my fee later :D ;)
If you still have issues let me know.

Custom option for Model Meta Options

[Roman Klesel]

Hello,

in my App I would like some Models to accept some custom Meta options like this:

class MyModel(models.Model)

  name = models.CharField(...)
  other = models.CharField(...)
  more = models.CharField(...)

  class Meta:

db_table = "my_table"
custom_option = True

It would be quite easy to accomplish this by paching the django
source. However I'd prefere to do
this by subclassing.

How to do this?

Best regards
  Roman Klesel
