Re: Validating and rendering dynamic form

[DragonSlayre]

Solved my problem - data = self.cleaned_data[dataName]  should have
been:
data = self.cleaned_data.get(dataName)

Apache ImportError: Could not import settings

[DragonSlayre]

Hi,

I'm at the final stage in one of my django developments, and am trying
to get my site live.

I've been following instructions on
http://www.jeffbaier.com/2007/07/26/installing-django-on-an-ubuntu-linux-server/
but got the following error:

  File "/usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/django/conf/__init__.py",
line 94, in __init__
raise ImportError, "Could not import settings '%s' (Is it on
sys.path? Does it have syntax errors?): %s" % (self.SETTINGS_MODULE,
e)

ImportError: Could not import settings 'kazbah.settings' (Is it on
sys.path? Does it have syntax errors?): No module named
kazbah.settings


My ubuntu username is git, and the site I've made (kazbah) is at /home/
git/DjangoProjects/kazbah
My httpd.conf settings look like this:


SetHandler python-program
PythonHandler django.core.handlers.modpython
SetEnv DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE kazbah.settings
PythonDebug On
PythonPath "['/home/git/DjangoProjects'] + sys.path"



SetHandler None



SetHandler None



SetHandler None



Any ideas about why my settings can't be found?

Re: Model for newbie

[DragonSlayre]

I'm guessing that you might have tried to do a ForeignKey(User) for
the other_invited.  If that is the case, then I think you need to add
a related_name e.g. ForeignKey(User,
related_name="group_invited_to").  You may have to do a related name
for the creator as well.

I hope that helps.

Validating and rendering dynamic form

[DragonSlayre]

I've created a dynamic form to allow users to upload images, and I'm
trying to validate the form.  - it displays fine, but when I validate
and return a response, I get either a Key Error at the line (data =
self.cleaned_data[dataName] ) in _clean_photo or I get a render error
in my template at {{ image_form.as_table }} - I'm not too sure why
sometimes I get either of the errors.

In my view that gets posted to, i have:
  #images_submitted is a list of the names of the  submitted image
fields
  listingImages = make_image_form(images_submitted)
  image_form = listingImages(request.POST, request.FILES)

The code calls into the make_image_form  view to create the form:

def _clean_photo(self, dataName):
data = self.cleaned_data[dataName]
if data != None:
if data.size > max_photo_size:
raise forms.ValidationError("The maximum image size
allowed is 500KB")
elif data.size == 0:
raise forms.ValidationError("The image given is
empty.")
return data

def make_image_form(image_fields):
''' Takes a list of image_fields to generate image fields '''
images = SortedDict()  #a django sortedDict
#create the ImageFields for the form
for image_name in image_fields:
images[image_name] = forms.ImageField(required=False)
new_form = type('ListingImagesForm2', (forms.BaseForm,),
{'base_fields' : images})
#now we add the validation methods to the class
for image_name in image_fields:
setattr(new_form, 'clean_' + image_name, lambda self:
self._clean_photo(image_name))
#Add the _clean_photo method to the class
setattr(new_form, '_clean_photo', _clean_photo)
return new_form



The _clean_photo method only gets called once -  for the first photo.
The ListingImagesForm2 class gets created fine, and the clean_photo_1,
2, 3 methods get created fine as well.

I'm not too sure what's happening with the errors, but I think that it
must have something to do with how I'm validating.  When _clean_photo
was called,  self.cleaned_data had the image info for the first image
only, when 2 or 3 images were posted.

I hope I've provided enough information for help, any ideas as to what
might be wrong will be highly appreciated :)

Re: How to change python version in ubuntu???

[DragonSlayre]

Thanks Waylan  - 
http://achinghead.com/archive/83/installing-multiple-versions-python/
is just what I needed.

Thanks Shaleh,

I appreciate the detailed explanation :)
Yes - the shell is something that I have to get more familiar with -
I've only really recently started using ubuntu for development so am
on a bit of a learning journey.

So it seems pretty easy to invoke the version of python I want to use,
and using symbolic links make sense (especially after seeing Waylan's
link).

Just a couple of questions:

I didn't quite get what you were referring to with the Django command
line tool, and Django scripts - are you talking about django-
admin.py ?
When you install a python package from the package manager or using
apt-get, is there some way to tell it to install into a specific
version of python, or does it use the python symlink /usr/bin/python,
or something else? - Waylan installed easy_install for each python
version in his example (so he could install packages for different
python versions).


Thanks a lot,

Things are becoming much clearer now.

WOW, that explains it all...  Looks about as good as every other thing
that I've read on the net.
Ok, so I do a set | less - hey there's no Environment variable
with PYTHON in it. - who cares though right - now I know how to use
grep... yay!!

This is what F**ks me off with most of the developers out there - so
vague in documentation (if it exists).

I know you are probably just trying to help Steve, but if you know how
to do this, is it so hard just to say how?  It's very frustrating to
spend hours and hours trying to find out how to do something so
simple, and still have no answer.  Personally - I wish there was a
radio button that I could select to switch between python versions,
but unfortunately, a radio button just isn't as superior as a
terminal.

The link provided looks like a great reference, but unfortunately it's
like giving someone a toolkit and expecting them to build a house from
it.

Re: How to change python version in ubuntu???

[DragonSlayre]

RE Steve - I tried earlier to change the PYTHONHOME variable (seen in
the man pages - http://linux.die.net/man/1/python), the python path
urls changed, but they were a bit screwed up.

The way I changed it was by editing the .bashrc (hidden) file in my
home directory.  I think I wrote something like export PYTHONHOME=/usr/
lib/python2.5

I'm just hacking around as I couldn't find anything explicit enough to
say how to change the python version.

The problem isn't installing python, which can be done through the
package manager or with apt-get, but the problem is for example
changing back to 2.5 once 2.6 is installed.

How to change python version in ubuntu???

[DragonSlayre]

Hi,

I've made a total mess of python (I installed python2.6 from source,
installed python 2.6 from an installer (http://jaredforsyth.com/
content/install-python-26-ubuntu)).  The source version installed
into /usr/local/, and the installer version installed into /usr/.

After installing python from source, I installed Django (which
installed into the correct location).  I then tried installing PIL
(python imaging library) - which didn't install into the correct
location.  That's why I thought I'd give the installer a go.

I then decided that I should try revert back to python 2.5.  So I
deleted the python2.6 files and folders from /usr/local/lib, /usr/
local/bin, /usr/lib/, /usr/bin/.

when I run python though, it still says it's python 2.6.1..

I thought that trying to reinstall python2.5 again might overwrite the
python version, but unfortunately it doesn't.

I looked up the python doc in the man pages (http://
manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/intrepid/en/man1/python.1.html), and
searched over the internet, but haven't found out how to revert to a
previous version of python, or change the version.

The only real viable solution for me at the moment is to reinstall
ubuntu and start again - although I would consider this to be a bit of
a cheats way - as in the end, I haven't really learnt anything (apart
from the fact that I probably don't want to mess with the python
versions!)


Surely somebody must know how to setup which python version they wish
to use?



Thanks for your help,


Louis

Yes, I think this is happening - very frustrating!  I just wanted to
update python - Whenever I try install modules now though (e.g. sudo
aptitude install python-imaging), it doesn't install them in the new
folder  - why oh why

I just found this site http://jaredforsyth.com/content/install-python-26-ubuntu
that explains how to have an automatic install - which I did,  but now
my python path has got my other python 2.6 installation location. (I
now have one under /usr/lib/ and another under /usr/local/lib)

I've googled and googled and have not found out how you remove it
properly (If I were to remove it, I'd just delete the whole folder)

I don't know how to set my python path to point to the new python 2.6
folder either.


All in all, I'd rather just revert back to python 2.5 problem is
that I don't know how to do that either!!!

Re: sqlite3 problems setting up

[DragonSlayre]

Just doing some exploring - noticing that:

* /usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages has a pysqlite2 folder as well as a
PIL folder
* /usr/local/lib/python2.6/site-packages has just django in it

I'm not sure how the whole site-packages things work, or why python
2.5 is in /usr/lib/ and python 2.6 is in /usr/local/lib/ ?

sqlite3 problems setting up

[DragonSlayre]

I've just done a fresh install of python 2.6 and django 1.0.2, and
sqlite3 in ubuntu, and I've cloned my repository, and tried python
manage.py runserver, but then I get this error:

File "/usr/local/lib/python2.6/site-packages/django/db/backends/
sqlite3/base.py", line 27, in 
raise ImproperlyConfigured, "Error loading %s module: %s" %
(module, exc)
django.core.exceptions.ImproperlyConfigured: Error loading sqlite3
module: No module named _sqlite3

The only thing I can think of is that maybe what it's looking for
isn't on the python path or something - I just commented out the DB in
the settings, and it complained about the PIL module (I installed this
prior to installing django).


I'm not exactly sure what's going on, any help would be appreciated :)

Re: Multiple images in form

[DragonSlayre]

Yeah, I had to add a related_name to my ForeignKeys e.g:
first_photo = models.ForeignKey(Image, blank=True, null=True,
related_name="first photo")

The problem now is that with foreign keys, it generates a drop down
list to select the images - whereas, I want a browse type text box to
choose an image. - is there anyway to tell the foreignkey field to
render the items pointed to by the foreign key, rather than just
render a drop down list?

Re: Multiple images in form

[DragonSlayre]

I'm using django-thumbs (http://code.google.com/p/django-thumbs/), and
the problem with it is that you can't stick blank=True, null=True when
you declare a field in your model.

To get around this, I thought I'd wrap it in another model, and
reference it from my Posting model, which contains information for a
post (text and picture etc etc).  This works fine for one picture,
but I wanted say five - I tried to reference 5 of them by having 5
foreign key fields to the same model - but django didn't like that
very much and gave me a whole heap of errors - is there a way around
this?

My models look a bit like this:

class Image(models.Model):
photo = ImageWithThumbsField(
upload_to="static/site_images",
sizes=((thumb_widths,thumb_heights),))

class Posting(models.Model):
'''An abstract class to represent a listing '''
#main data
title = models.CharField(max_length=200)
body_text = models.TextField()

#Listing images
first_photo = models.ForeignKey(Image, blank=True, null=True)
second_photo = models.ForeignKey(Image, blank=True, null=True)
third_photo = models.ForeignKey(Image, blank=True, null=True)
fourth_photo = models.ForeignKey(Image, blank=True, null=True)
fifth_photo = models.ForeignKey(Image, blank=True, null=True)

class PostingForm(ModelForm):
class Meta:
model = Posting


This gives me loads of errors - i'm pretty sure it's because of the
ForeignKeys.


Thoughts?

Multiple images in form

[DragonSlayre]

Hi,

I've seen some posts from a while back, but didn't find any real
solution when searching to find out how to put multiple images (or any
field for that matter) into a form (mainly a  ModelForm)

Basically what I want to have is a form that has a one to many
relationship from a post to images, and to allow 5 images to be
displayed on the form.

Any simple way of doing this?

If not, any other ways that people can think of/have done?

As I'm relatively new to python and django, I'm unsure how to get the
date and time out of a DateTimeField.

How I usually work with this sort of thing is to 'python manage.py
shell' and then import whatever class i'm interested in and then do a
dir() on the object to find out what methods and fields it has.

My question is for the experienced programmers - if you were in my
position, how would you go about finding out how to get a date and
time out of a DateTimeField?

Re: MEDIA_ROOT, MEDIA_URL and upload_to confusion (~.~)

[DragonSlayre]

Yeah, that makes good sense - I tried finding out info on
djangoproject but didn't quite understand what they were for.

Thanks

Re: MEDIA_ROOT, MEDIA_URL and upload_to confusion (~.~)

[DragonSlayre]

Ok, I got it working, I changed:

> photo = ImageWithThumbsField(
> upload_to="site_images",
> sizes=((270,150),))

to:

 photo = ImageWithThumbsField(
 upload_to="static/site_images",
 sizes=((270,150),))

and

> MEDIA_URL = 'static/'

to:

 MEDIA_URL = '/site_media/'

I think I get it now - the media_root is where django uploads images
to, and the media_url is where the images will be linked from. -
hopefully that is what they mean :)

MEDIA_ROOT, MEDIA_URL and upload_to confusion (~.~)

[DragonSlayre]

I'm using django-thumbs (http://code.google.com/p/django-thumbs/) to
create some thumbnails for my site:

class Image(models.Model):
title = models.CharField(max_length=50, blank=True, null=True)
caption = models.CharField(max_length=100, blank=True, null=True)
photo = ImageWithThumbsField(
upload_to="site_images",
sizes=((270,150),))

And in my settings my media path is as following:

MEDIA_ROOT = os.path.abspath(os.path.join(PROJECT_DIR, 'site_media'))
MEDIA_URL = 'static/'

I'm trying to upload my images into the  'site_media/static/
site_images/' location

When I upload however, it puts the image into 'site_media/
site_images/'
The strange thing though, is that the location that gets stored in the
database is 'static/site_images/imageName.jpg'

I'm really not sure what's going on, and feel completely confused.

Any help will be greatly appreciated!

Passing a form a user before validation

[DragonSlayre]

I'm trying to generate a form with a user's details, so that they can
change the details they've submitted.

One of my forms is a ModelForm, which is the profile of the User
object.  I also want to show the first name, last name and email from
the User object, so I've created a form for that which validates the
email (to make sure no-one else has the same email).

Here's my view code so far:

@login_required
def change_my_account(request):
fireman = Fireman.objects.get(pk=request.user.get_profile().id)

if request.method == 'POST':
#also need to check my RegistrationFormSimple
form = FiremanForm(request.POST, instance=fireman)
if form.is_valid():
form.save()
else:
form =FiremanForm(instance=fireman)
data = {'first_name' : request.user.first_name,
'last_name'  : request.user.last_name,
'email'  : request.user.email}
userForm = RegistrationFormSimple(data)
return render_to_response('Change_account.html', {'form' : form,
  'user_form' :
userForm})

This works well, except that I have a validator in my
RegistrationFormSimple, which needs to know who the user is, to check
the emails.

I'm stumped about how I give this information to my
RegistrationFormSimple.

Any help would be greatly appreciated :)

Does PhoneNumberField for models exist?

[DragonSlayre]

http://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/topics/forms/modelforms/

This lists PhoneNumberField as being a field type, but in the models
documentation, 
http://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/ref/models/fields/#ref-models-fields
there is no such field.

Does anybody know if this field exists? I'd quite like to use it.

birth date in a model form

[DragonSlayre]

Hi,

I've got a ModelForm, and the model for it contains a birth date field
(as a DateField):

class FiremanForm(ModelForm):
class Meta:
model = Fireman

Currently a single text box is rendered to enter the date, but I'd
like to have a drop down list for day, month, year.

I'm guessing that lots of people have come across this, and I was
wondering what the best way is to get these drop down lists on the
page ?

Are there any widgets that I don't know about that I should be using,
or should I be creating my own, or should I be breaking my Fireman's
birthdate up into day, month year. or something else?

Re: Problem saving a User object to a profile

Actually, it seems a bit redundant doesn't it?  I see there is a

information from the database Yay! such simple solutions, I'm so
happy to be able to register.

You are gods - thank you.  I did try something like this before, but
being so noob at the technology, didn't assign the form to a new
variable.

Will i have to assign the profile in the user object as well?  I
assume I will.

Re: Problem saving a User object to a profile

[DragonSlayre]

Ok - I'm digging deeper, and I realise that my form doesn't have a
user, as it's excluded from the form using exclude = ('user').

I'll carry on looking...

Problem saving a User object to a profile

[DragonSlayre]

I've got a profile model which has a django.contrib.auth.models.User
as a foreign key.

I am trying to assign the User object to my profile model after I've
checked that the user is valid and that the profile contents are also
valid.

Once I've saved my user object, I then call

profile_form.user = user;
profile_form.save()

In my database, the user and profile have been created, but the
profile's foreign key to the user hasn't been created.

I'm guessing that I'm not calling the right thing on the profile_form,
but am not sure what I should be calling?

Thanks for your help :)

passing extra parameters with named urls

[DragonSlayre]

Hi,

I'm currently working with django-registration, and have the following
url pattern (it's included from my other url pattern):

 url(r'^register/$',
   register,
   name='registration_register',
   ),

This calls a view:

def register(request, success_url=None,
 form_class=RegistrationForm, profile_callback=None,
 template_name='registration/registration_form.html',
 extra_context=None):

My Question is, how do I pass the register method the extra_context ?

What I'm trying to do is something like this:
 url(r'^register/$',
   register,
   name='registration_register',
   extra_context = {'section' : 'main'},
   ),

But this gives me an error 'url() got an unexpected keyword argument
'extra_context'.  This seems like it'd be a simple little thing, but I
haven't seen any examples online about how you pass in the extra
parameters with named urls.

Really easy DateTimeField question

[DragonSlayre]

Hi,
I've seen some code with the following in, but can't find what the
string 'date added' is representing in the documentation.

What is the string for?

models.DateTimeField('date added')



Thank you!

I know it's easy, but it'd take me forever to find out.

yes, this fixed the problem. I should change my original title to

Thanks for the speedy responses... I was trying to do things *right*

Re: Django is changing my html!

[DragonSlayre]

If the problem is inside my view, shouldn't the output generated look
more like this though:


  

  
  
  Books
  
  

  


What i don't understand, is how 1) ' ' is showing up, and 2) why it doesn't have the 
tags inside.
For 1, I can understand how the problem might be in my view, but for 2
- I just don't get why the html would be rendered in the way that it
is?

If I take out the anchor tag in my template, and display the dynamic
content as follows:

 {% for category in categories %}
   
   {% url category-listing category.name|lower %}
   
   
   {{ category.name }}
   
 {% endfor %}


I get the following html output:

 /listings/category/books/ 
 Books 


So I'm pretty sure that it's not the dynamic content that's causing
the problem.

Django is changing my html!

Hi,

for some reason my hyperlink is not coming out as I expect it to.
Here is my code in my template:


 {% for category in categories %}
   
   {{ category.name }}
   
 {% endfor %}


The outcome is the following html code:


   
  
  Books
  
   


I've checked and I only have one 'little' category - the Books
category.
I'm expecting the html to appear as the following:


  
Books
  


Does anybody know what might be going on?


Thanks a lot for your help.

Best IDE for Django and python?

[DragonSlayre]

Hey, I'm getting started with a friend in developing a site with
Django, and we're both new to this, so I am wondering what people use
to manage all their files, and for looking at documentation etc.

Having come from a Java background, I'm used to great documentation,
and suspect that Java is very much the leader in doc, and not the
standard.

I've used the pydev plugin for eclipse, but it seems extremely
limited.

How do you develop your django projects, and where do you go when you
need to find documentation?

Re: Import error exception "No module named urls" when running from eclipse

[DragonSlayre]

Thanks for your help,

It turns out that it was a problem to do with the renaming
functionality not working properly in eclipse.  I tried renaming my
package - and that doesn't work for some reason, and then my hack
around caused a problem when I created a new package, which ultimately
stuffed up which package eclipse was looking in when launching the
app.

Is it *normal* for rename to not work properly for the packages in
eclipse using pydev?

My solution to this was to create a new project, with the package name
I wanted, and to import the code I was previously using.  If it's just
my version, then I should probably find out why my version doesn't
support rename.

Import error exception "No module named urls" when running from eclipse

[DragonSlayre]

Hi, I'm new to django/python, and I'm testing out eclipse for
development.

I'm using pydev, and managed to run my app, but then when I go to the
web page, I get:

ImportError at /time/
No module named urls
Request Method: GET
Request URL:http://localhost:8080/time/
Exception Type: ImportError
Exception Value:
No module named urls
Exception Location: C:\python25\lib\site-packages\django\core
\urlresolvers.py in _get_urlconf_module, line 197
Python Executable:  C:\Python25\python.exe

I'm guessing that I probably need to include a library in eclipse or
something like that - any ideas???
