more info when serializing
So, say I have a model something like this:
class Bar(models.Model):
user = models.ForeignKey(User)
name = models.CharField(maxlength=50)
description = models.TextField()
where user is tied to a django.contrib.auth.models.User entity. When I
serialize this to json, I get:
[{"pk": "1", "model": "foo.bar", "fields": {"description": "", "user":
1, "name": "Phone"}}]
Which is fine, but I need both the username and user id on the front
end. Is there a simple way to get this info all in one shot that I'm
just missing?
Ideally, it would return something like: ..."user":
{"username":"bfordham", "pk":1}...
I'm using the django-rest-interface, if that makes a difference one way
or the other.
Thanks

Help Wanted at CritterWatch.Org
As I announced recently, I'm currently working on a project at www.critterwatch.org. The overall goal is to provide people with up-to-date information on how their state represenatives and senators are voting, as well as data on legislation. Long term goals include an API to make this information available to other projects. The near term goal, however, is to load all the data for all 50 states into the database, and keep it updated. That's where you can come in: If you're interested in helping this project by writing some scripts to get the information for your state, please reply to me off-list. I haven't worked everything out just yet, but essentially you'd be screen-scraping your state legislature's website and putting the information into a standard format, which would be loaded into the database. Another way to help is to suggest new features. You can also be my BFF if you submit ideas on how to make the interface look better. As always, any feedback at all is appreciated.

you either want include('mysite.hello.urls') to include the urls.py in your

(r'^site/$', 'mysite.hello.views.index'),
to execute that view when they visit site/
You're trying to include the view as urls, and that won't work 8)

Re: Serious Noobie question, what the $ for in urlpatterns.
$ is part of the regular expression. It matches the end of the line. ^
matches the beginning
So, '^polls/(\d+)/$' would match
polls/1234/
but not
polls/1234/1
because the ending is wrong, and not
the_polls/1234/
because the beginning is wrong
You can read more about this at http://docs.python.org/lib/re-syntax.html
Here's how it looks at the command line:
>>> import re
>>> spam=re.compile(r'^polls/(\d+)/$')
>>> print spam.match('polls/1234/')
<_sre.SRE_Match object at 0x00AD54A0>
>>> print spam.match('polls/1234/1')
None
>>> print spam.match('the_polls/1234/')
None
Since django stops matching urls after the first match, if you leave the
$ off the first one will match. That's why it doesn't continue down the
line.
I hope this makes sense. Regular expressions sometimes take a while to
get your head around. Read the docs some and play with them. Once they
click, they *really* click, so don't be afraid to take some time.

A couple of us in irc figured it was something along these lines. Thanks for confirming. Looking at that page, my solution (importing in the method itself) is a viable solution. My concern was that I might have to do that import multiple times if more than one method had to use the same function. But the module_constants solves most of that. Thanks --B

It's not unusual at all to have static content served from a server that's designed for that (ie apache) even when you're running a very expensive app server such as weblogic. I think the larger point is that the dev server isn't for serving static content, it's for development. I've used it on windows and linux, and it's never been is issue in either case to have my style sheets, et al served from apache. Having said that... it would be nice (going back to a previous thread) to have global properties available in templates so you could easily change where the static content is coming from. --B
