This is a very similar question to this SO thread on middleware and views communicating We'd like to have our templates be given a standard set of context variables. So, a context processor seems appropriate, however, it doesn't seem like the context processor is view-aware. We'd previously been forced to inspect the call stack to get...
Few times while browsing tests dir in various Django apps I stumbled across models.py and settings.py files (in django-tagging for example). But there's no code to be found that syncs test models or applies custom test settings - but tests make use of them just as if django would auto-magically load them. However if I try to run django...
I've got a Model in Django, example code below (not my actual code): class Department(models.Model): name = models.CharField(max_length=100) abbreviation = models.CharField(max_length=4) Let's say I do the following in the Django shell: >>> Department(name='Computer Science',abbreviation='C S ').save() >>> Department(name='Ma...
I am developing a Django site using Windows 7 as my dev environment. I have IE6 running through XP mode. Accessing my site through localhost:8000 doesn't work in IE6 (probably since it is still running a VM). Is there a way to access my site in IE6 while it is being served through Django's test server running on Windows 7? ...
Can anyone turn me to a tutorial, code or some kind of resource that will help me out with the following problem. I have a table in a mySQL database. It contains an ID, Timestamp, another ID and a value. I'm passing it the 'main' ID which can uniquely identify a piece of data. However, I want to do a time search on this piece of data(th...
I have a little one-liner in my Rails app that returns a range of copyright dates with an optional parameter, e.g.: def copyright_dates(start_year = Date.today().year) [start_year, Date.today().year].sort.uniq.join(" - ") end I'm moving the app over to Django, and while I love it, I miss a bit of the conciseness. The same method i...
Hi Guys, First post to stackoverflow I did do a search and came up dry. I also own the django book (Forcier,Bissex,Chun) and they don't explain how to do this. In short I can't figure out how to progmatically add a data via a python shell script to the ManyToMay model.. from django.db import models from django.contrib import adm...
Hi Guys, I know django purposely does not allow a whole lot of logic in the templates. However sometimes you are required to evaluate something and based on that change your options. How do you change a value in a template or insert something only if it's the first record? But you would still like to loop through the rest. For example...
Django documents give this example of associating extra data with a M2M relationship. Although that is straight forward, now that I am trying to make use of the extra data in my views it is feeling very clumsy (which typically means "I'm doing it wrong"). For example, using the models defined in the linked document above I can do the ...
Hi guys, i want to know if prepopulated_field is available outside of the ModelAdmin? I want to make a slugfield where the value comes from the field title. Regards, Asinox ...
I have a Style table to identify a model number for each product type: class Style(models.Model): style = models.AutoField(primary_key=True) name = models.CharField('Title', max_length=150) etc.. And I need a product table which identifies all the product variations of the aforemention model number: class Product(models.Mod...

I am going through the Django sample application and come across the URLConf. I thought the import statement on the top resolves the url location, but for 'mysite.polls.urls' I couldn't remove the quotes by including in the import statement. Why should I use quotes for 'mysite.polls.urls' and not for admin url? and what should I do if ...
I have following models class Artist(models.Model): name = models.CharField(max_length=200, unique=True) photo = models.CharField(max_length=250) views = models.IntegerField() class Meta: verbose_name = "artist" ordering = ['-views'] def __unicode__(self): return self.name class Song(models...
I am looking to produce a site similar to a venue "What's on" site. The plan is that the venues can register an account to the site and then through their own 'admin' section upload/post all their latest events that are on. I am hoping that very large number of venues will sign up and each have a large number of events thus producing a ...

If one iswriting a Django/ Google App Engine application and would like to have logs that are conveniently conspicuous based on color (i.e. errors in red), how does one set that up? I've copied the helpful solution from this question, but I'm not sure how to integrate it into Django/Google App Engine. I figured one would put the follow...
