This is my first time using the Django Web Framework and I'm new to the

I've created a model (i.e. a class) called Course which defines several

 name = models.CharField(max_length=32)

 prereq = models.ManyToManyField(*Course*, blank=True,

If you want to relate Course to Course then you need to use 'self' 
instead of Course in the prereq field


https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.5/ref/models/fields/#django.db.models.ManyToManyField.symmetrical




When I try to serve the files from the local server with, *python
manage.py runserver*, I get the following error:

...
...
prereq = models.ManyToManyField(Course, blank=True, null=True,
through='PreReqToCourse')
NameError: name '*Course*' is not defined


Any ideas?

Thanks in advance!

Re: django statics

[Sébastien Billion]

Hi,

In your project folder, you can create a folder media zith a subfolder css,
an other img, js, whatever.
In your settings.py, you can use this line to get the absolute path
dynamically:

from os import path
PROJECT_ROOT = path.dirname(path.abspath(__file__))

After, you need to specify your MEDIA_ROOT and MEDIA_URL


MEDIA_ROOT = path.join(PROJECT_ROOT,'media')

MEDIA_URL = '/media/'

In your template, if you want to get your css or your js, img, etc... you
just need to do


Regards,
Seb

I haven't looked at your code but your words above indicate you want all 
announcements which haven't expired. I think that means a 
discontinueDate in future?


If so, you probably want one which is greater than NOW

?

There are two issues:


1) the filter doesn't work
2) numannouncements always equals 1 even when nothing is returned

any ideas?

how to do conditional order_by

[surya]

SELECT id, ((positive_count + 1.9208) / (positive_count + negative_count) - 
   1.96 * SQRT((positive_count * negative_count) / 
(positive_count + negative_count) + 0.9604) / 
  (positive_count + negative_count)) / (1 + 3.8416 / 
(positive_count + negative_count)) 
   AS ci_lower_bound FROM widgets WHERE positive_count + negative_count > 0 
   ORDER BY ci_lower_bound DESC;


This is what I have to do (ordering objects)..

The issue with my table is, I don't have positive_count, negative_count fields 
separately!!


The CountTable table has a boolean field "count" which is either positive or 
negative. This table uses contenttypes to attach to other model objects.. and I 
use reverse generic relation to identify list of counts a object got (whether 
positive or negative).


How to pass positive_count, negative_count into this above query? (in raw sql)

or else can we use conditional statements in .order_by()??


thanks!

+1 on that. pip is the only way to go.

And I would suggest installing PostgreSQL from MacPorts or an equivalent 
package manager to give yourself more control over your database 
versioning and contents. Otherwise you are relying on whatever is in 
Apple's current update which may change or be different from what you 
might need for reasons of your own.


I've also installed python and related packages from MacPorts so then 
the virtualenv will point to that installation when it initializes. That 
also gives you more control over versioning.

Re: Error with Passing a class name as a parameter in a ManyToManyField

[Jonathan Baker]

You error is in the following line:
prereq = models.ManyToManyField(*Course*, blank=True, null=True,
through='PreReqToCourse')

To phrase this as a sentence, you're saying that "Many courses can belong
to many courses." which doesn't follow. I'm guessing that you're aiming to
achieve something more like this:
prereq = models.ManyToManyField(*PreReq*, blank=True, null=True,
through='PreReqToCourse')

So long as the PreReq model is defined above the Course model, you're
golden.

Error with Passing a class name as a parameter in a ManyToManyField

[Charounson Saintilus]

This is my first time using the Django Web Framework and I'm new to the 
python language, so please bear with me.
I've created a model (i.e. a class) called Course which defines several 
variables:

class Course(models.Model):
name = models.CharField(max_length=32)
   .
   .  
   .
   .
prereq = models.ManyToManyField(*Course*, blank=True, null=True, 
through='PreReqToCourse')

When I try to serve the files from the local server with, *python manage.py 
runserver*, I get the following error:

...
...
prereq = models.ManyToManyField(Course, blank=True, null=True, 
through='PreReqToCourse')
NameError: name '*Course*' is not defined


Any ideas? 

Thanks in advance!

Django-Ajax Issue

[vijay shanker]

Hey all
I am trying to make a simple ajax call to show items retrieved from 
database.
I am displaying bunch of fields like a text input for keyword and radio 
button for filter in a form like this:

{% csrf_token %}

 Search 



All
Paying
Uploaded
Staff Pick
 


This form is displayed by a function which inherits generic View class, 
from its get method.

class Home(View):
def get(self,request, *args, **kwargs):
return render_to_response('items/search_page.html', 
context_instance = RequestContext(request) )
def post(self, request, *args, **kwargs):
print 'in home post'

What puzzles me is that when i am trying to submit the form data via ajax 
call (on same page) with jquery when someone clicks on search button, it 
takes me to post view of Home and not on to other function i have defined.
The javascript on the html page is:

   function search(e) {
e.preventDefault();
search_for = $("#search").val()
rval = $('input:radio[name=fancy_radio]:checked').val()
$.ajax({
url:"/search/",
method : "POST",
data : { 'keyword': search_for, 'filter': rval },
success:function(result){
alert(result)
}
});
   }


why is this happening ?

Re: Getting started with django( the new one is confusing , especially first episode)

[cingusoft]

Hi,

Why you don't use google
If you find vagrant, virtualenv and more you obtain all the informations.
You obtain more infos from the projects site than in any mailing group.

Re: Choosing a JS framework to go together with Django

[François Schiettecatte]

Hi

FWIW an approach I have taken is to split the app into two components, one is a 
REST based API (developed in Java, but you could use Django), and a website 
developed with Django. The website renders pages of content  (all SEO friendly, 
with known urls), all interactive JS is provided by jquery, and I use the 
'/ajax/...' url for browser calls to the website app (validation, autocomplete, 
etc...). This split gives you the option to develop mobile clients against the 
API, and to host components on different machines. If you want to start small 
one option would be to build you API with Django and use the '/api/...' url. 
That way you can combine API and website on the same server until you need to 
split things. And using host names like api.foo.com and foo.com makes that 
relatively painless.

Re: Choosing a JS framework to go together with Django

[Jon]

The idea is to generate pure HTML views for non JS clients like search bots. If 
your view depends on AJAX calls, then it defies the purpose.

I've been developing native mobile apps for the past year, so I get your 
argument about providing REST end points for your data.

The point of my original post was to NOT do two different views; one for search 
bots and one for browsers.
 I agree that providing a REST interface is the "right" way to provide data for 
both browsers and mobile apps. To that end, the project I was suppose to work 
on, used tastypie.

There at least one mistake in this diagram, middlwares come after routing
but before view processing

Re: Choosing a JS framework to go together with Django

[Phang Mulianto]

Hi ,

Why not using REST for serving your data to the Front End app, it can be
from mobile app or just web app with HTML + javascript.

With that you don't need to worry about redo the template side in django
and in your front end js app.
With REST serving JSON, no template / html needed for the response.

You can use Tastypie or Django rest
frameworkwhich still using Django
engine . This way also your application server no
need to rendering the HTML view in every request from the first time.

Any front end will be able to process the JSON with javascript.

Regards,

Mulianto

Re: Choosing a JS framework to go together with Django

[dotnetCarpenter]

In the end, my project stalled due to lack of resources. We might pick it up 
but it's been abandoned for quite some time. I haven't had any django projects 
since. Hence, I can't make any recommendations.

DjangoAjax looks promising but might lack the community support you expect. It 
is however based on jQuery and ASP.NET MVC, so if you can see past the M$ 
cruft, some guides etc are available.
