Re: [mezzanine-users] Re: Mezzanine 3.1.10: Can't delete the media files in the admin page

[Simon Bradley]

For anyone else using windows. There was another small issue.

This line in views.py:

# CREATE FILEOBJECT
url_path = "/".join([s.strip("/") for s in
[get_directory(), path, file] if s.strip("/")])

Changed it to:

# CREATE FILEOBJECT
url_path = "/".join([s.strip("/") for s in
[get_directory(), path.replace("\\", "/"), 
file] if s.strip("/")])


This might not be the best way to solve the problem but if you just want to 
get it working on windows it does seem to do the trick.

[mezzanine-users] Re: Mezzanine 3.1.10: Can't delete the media files in the admin page

[Simon Bradley]

OK def fixed it now

This line in the views.py of filebrowser-safe:

if not normalized.startswith(get_directory()) or ".." in normalized:
   
It appears to be the problem.

I changed it to:

if not normalized.startswith(get_directory().strip("/")) or ".." in 
normalized:
   
Removed the FILEBROWSER_DIRECTORY entry from the local_settings.py because 
i generally stick with the default path anyway.

Tested everything. Looks like it's working. I know there was a bit of a 
false alarm before but this time i'm fairly sure.

If there's a simpler way to get around this though i'd like to know it.

It's a bit of a faff having to have my own version of filebrowser-safe for 
every mez proj.

Also, thanks to Mathias.

It was your advice that led me to it.

[mezzanine-users] Re: Mezzanine 3.1.10: Can't delete the media files in the admin page

[Simon Bradley]

Well i found the problem.

Very silly. Silly windows user.

filebrowser-safe get_directory() picks up the directory from settings.py or 
the default 'uploads/' and it's as simple as that it seams.

Because for it to work on windows the path needs to be 'uploads\'

A backslash. That's it.

So i just added this:

FILEBROWSER_DIRECTORY = 'uploads\\'

To my local_settings.py and now we're good.

Hope this helps some people.

[mezzanine-users] Re: Mezzanine 3.1.10: Can't delete the media files in the admin page

[Simon Bradley]

Yo!

Does anyone have any idea about this? Googling it seems to suggest it has 
lingered for several years. It's a real annoyance because overall i really 
like mezzanine and have developed a couple of sites with it now. I'm also 
using windows 10 and everything else works great.

Would be great if i had any kind of workaround for this.

Anyone any idea?

Anyone at all?

I mean i spent a fair amount of time fiddling with it. Looking 
here: https://docs.python.org/3/library/os.html

It says this: 
Although Windows supports chmod() 
, you can only set the 
file’s read-only flag with it (via the stat.S_IWRITE and stat.S_IREADconstants 
or a corresponding integer value). All other bits are ignored.

Now i'm not really all that knowledgeable in this area but is that saying 
that because Mezzanine uses chmod that you can't actually change the file 
permissions on windows through mezzanine?

If so could there be another way? Maybe changing the file permissions in 
windows explorer somehow?

Welcome a discussion here folks. I know someone out there knows more about 
this than i do. In fact i suspect their number may be legion.

[mezzanine-users] Session variables in Cartridge checkout steps

[Simon Bradley]

Hi

So i've been customising Cartridge to work with a booking system for a 
while.

I think i've almost got the basic processes working correctly.

But, i have one thing currently that i don't quite understand.

I'm using Stripe for payments and at the payment page step i am creating a 
customer with the payment handler. That works fine.

The problem is that i cant seem to add the returned customer id to the 
session with request.session['order']['stripe_customer_id'] = customer_id

However, i can do it perfectly well with 
request.session['stripe_customer_id'] = customer_id. But now i just want to 
understand why it doesn't work the other way.

Now i know that changing request.session['foo']['bar'] means it doesn't 
know it's been modified.

But the checkout steps function calls request.session.modified = True at 
the end when it sets request.session['order']['step'] so it should know to 
update.

I even added in request.session.modified = True below where i've added the 
['stripe_customer_id'] but its made no difference.

The point where i'm adding the ['stripe_customer_id'] is above the final 
confirmation step where it saves the order. Just in case that's relevant.

I'm starting to think this is just me not understanding how the Django 
sessions work as I'm still learning Django.

Would really appreciate some advice on this one folks as i've reached the 
stage where i'm going round in circles.

Cheers.

[mezzanine-users] Re: example.com!

[Simon Bradley]

Hi

Thanks for the responses.

Can't believe i've been using Mezzanine for this long without noticing that!

Bit of a silly one really.

Move along. Nothing to see here!

[mezzanine-users] example.com!

[Simon Bradley]

Hi

The View on Site button has started doing something quite unusual.

Now when i press it, it replaces localhost with example.com!

I'm starting to doubt myself here. Did it always do that? I don't think it 
did.

So when i hover over the button i can see the link at the bottom. Something 
like: http://127.0.0.1:8000/en/admin/r/16/9/

An then when i press the button it takes me to example.com/ and everything 
after that slash is as it should be!

Any ideas? Mind = boggled.

Cheers.

[mezzanine-users] Re: Cartridge customisation

[Simon Bradley]

Hi

Thanks for the replies.

There looks to be some good options for scheduling out there so that should 
help enormously.

I'm not familiar with github (I've been using subversion for version 
control) but its probably time i started anyway.

I've just forked it now so i'll have a fiddle with it today.

Thanks very much for the advice. 

Very much appreciated.

Simon.

[mezzanine-users] Cartridge customisation

[Simon Bradley]

Hi

I've read a lot of posts about customising cartridge but they tend to be 
issue specific.

I've only just started using mezzanine and cartridge and while i've found 
mezzanine very easy to bend to my will, i'm struggling with how to 
customise cartridge.

I'm trying to build a location booking system.

It's really easy to get the default shop up and running which is fantastic. 
I've done that and added various products with the admin interface and that 
all works great.

Now i want to customise the product view to remove the quantity field and 
to add from and to dates. Just basic booking stuff like you'd get on 
booking.com. The simple way appears to be to just edit the model but then 
what happens if i want to update my installed version of cartridge? That's 
a real concern if there's a security issue. And of course i'd like to avoid 
building in my own security problems!

I've read through the docs on integration and sub classing the order form 
and then removing the fields i dont want (Which is most of them). I dont 
need shipping and what have you either because there's no physical product.

However, it seems on the face of it to be much simpler to just edit the 
models.

So, i was wondering if there's a way to make these fairly simple 
modifications without just copying the cartridge folder into my project and 
hacking it to pieces and then making the necessary migrations! Or is that 
common?

Sorry this sounds so clueless, I'm really just looking for some sound 
advice.

Cheers.

[mezzanine-users] Thumbnail creation

[Simon Bradley]

Hi

This is sort of an answer rather than a question.

I had an existing Mezzanine project and i added Cartridge to it. I 
installed Cartridge with 'pip install cartridge' so i assume it's the most 
recent version.

I found that after the Cartridge install the Mezzanine admin wasn't 
generating thumbnails for images that i added to the media library. I 
noticed it right away because when i added an image to the media library it 
displayed as full size in the list of images after the upload.

I noticed .png's were still working after some faffing about so it was just 
.jpeg's then.

With that in mind i thought maybe Cartridge installed a newer version of 
Pillow that wasn't working correctly.

I did 'pip uninstall pillow' followed by pip install 'pillow >= 2.0.0, < 
4.0.0' and Mezzanine started generating the thumbnails correctly again.

I've only just started using Mezzanine and i only installed cartridge a 
couple of days ago so i'm no expert, but i thought this info might be 
useful to someone else who has just started like me.

Boom!

[mezzanine-users] Can't delete files from Media Library

[Simon Bradley]

When i click the trash can i get an error that says: an error has occurred!

Thought it might be a file permissions thing but i set everything in the 
security tab to have full control and the error is still happening.

The demo site works fine.

Something to do with windows 10 maybe?

Would really appreciate a bit of advice here.

Cheers.
