I've got two Django projects on the same server. The first launched several months ago, and has since collected hundreds of user accounts. The second project is launching in a few days, and we'd like the second project to allow users of the first app to authenticate using the same credentials. At first, I was going to simply dump the ...
This is one of the things I've been hearing in Django VS ASP.NET discussion. I personally find it hard to believe but I never tried Django. So my question is: assuming that I am equally familiar with both python and the .NET framework but I do not know anything about Django or ASP.NET (with Visual Studio), is Django faster than ASP.NET ...
I'm developing a Django app, and I'm trying to use Python's logging module for error/trace logging. Ideally I'd like to have different loggers configured for different areas of the site. So far I've got all of this working, but one thing has me scratching my head. I have the root logger going to sys.stderr, and I have configured anoth...
I would like to be able to submit a form in an HTML source (string). In other words I need at least the ability to generate POST parameters from a string containing HTML source of the form. This is needed in unit tests for a Django project. I would like a solution that possibly; Uses only standard Python library and Django. Allows para...

Today I'm starting a little project to create a Django based school administration program. I'm currently designing the models and their corresponding relationships. Being rather new to Django and relational databases in general, I would like some input. Before I show you the current model layout, you need to have an idea of what the pr...
I added a get_absolute_url function to one of my models. def get_absolute_url(self): return '/foo/bar' The admin site picks it up and adds a "view on site" link to the detail page for that object (when I put a real URL there instead of "/foo/bar"). The problem is instead of going to http://localhost:8000/foo/bar, it goes to http:...
I've got a couple django models that look like this: from django.contrib.sites.models import Site class Photo(models.Model): title = models.CharField(max_length=100) site = models.ForeignKey(Site) file = models.ImageField(upload_to=get_site_profile_path) def __unicode__(self): return self.title class Gallery...

I'm trying to format numbers. Examples: 1 => 1 12 => 12 123 => 123 1234 => 1,234 12345 => 12,345 It strikes as a fairly common thing to do but I can't figure out which filter I'm supposed to use. Edit: If you've a generic Python way to do this, I'm happy adding a formatted field in my model. ...

I have some flatpages with empty content field and their content inside the template (given with template_name field). Why I am using django.contrib.flatpages It allows me to serve (mostly) static pages with minimal URL configuration. I don't have to write views for each of them. Why I don't need the model FlatPage I leave the con...
Is there a way to be sure that a page is coming from cache on a production server and on the development server as well? The solution shouldn't involve caching middleware because not every project uses them. Though the solution itself might be a middleware. Just checking if the data is stale is not a very safe testing method IMO. ...
I'm trying to find the actual class of a django-model object, when using model-inheritance. Some code to describe the problem: class Base(models.model): def basemethod(self): ... class Child_1(Base): pass class Child_2(Base): pass If I create various objects of the two Child classes and the create a queryset con...
I am using Django as web framework and then Apache and Lighttpd as web server and static media server respectively. Lighty serves all my static content well and good, but I need to configure it to serve the new files uploaded by the user. Lighttpd is running on a different machine from the Apache(Django) one. My django code of creating ...
If I have a Django form such as: class ContactForm(forms.Form): subject = forms.CharField(max_length=100) message = forms.CharField() sender = forms.EmailField() And I call the as_table() method of an instance of this form, Django will render the fields as the same order as specified above. My question is how does Django ...

I have a MultipleChoiceField on a form holding car makes. I want to filter my database of cars to the makes that were checked but this causes a problem. How do I get all the Q(make=...) statements in dynamically? How I start: ['value1', 'value2', ...] How I want to end: Q(col='value1') | Q(col='value2') | ... I've couple of other meth...
In my case, I have a number of column names coming from a form. I want to filter to make sure they're all true. Here's how I currently do it: for op in self.cleaned_data['options']: cars = cars.filter((op, True)) Now it works but there are are a possible ~40 columns to be tested and it therefore doesn't appear very efficient to ke...
I just got done working through the Djano tutorials for the second time, and am understanding things much more clearly now. However, I'm still unclear how apps inside a site interact with one another. For example, lets say I'm writing a blog application (a rather popular activity, apparently). Blog posts and comments tend to go together...
