My second not-so-adept question of the day: I have a django project with four installed apps. When I run manage.py syndb, it only creates tables for two of them. To my knowledge, there are no problems in any of my models files, and all the apps are specified in INSTALLED_APPS in my settings file. Manage.py syndb just seems to ignore two ...
In my application, I am sending periodic cron and background task requests to refresh the cache of pages. While sending a force_refresh kwarg from the view is easy, there's no apparent way to send the force_refresh kwarg to methods being accessed from the template. There are plenty of these I'm using, and it would just make things more c...

So with a test like this... class SimpleTest(TestCase): def test_booking_save(self): b = Booking() b.save() ... I expected the save to ...
I'm planing to deploy a django powered site. But I feel confused about the choice of web servers, which includes apache, lighttpd, nginx and others. I've read some articles about the performance of each of these choice. But it seems no one agrees. So I'm wondering why not test the performance by myself? I can't find information about ...
Hi, I was hoping to get some suggestions on some best approaches to develop a multi tenant Django project on Google AppEngine. Some Thoughts to Consider. I would assume using djnago.contrib.sites is a must. I would like to use existing applications such as django-profiles and django-registration, I know their models would need porti...

I have tried something like below but it gave me an syntax error: Could not parse the remainder: '%4' from 'forloop.counter%4' {% for p in plist %} {% ifequal forloop.counter%4 1 %} <li class...
Is there an application for django which tracks CRUD for objects inside a project? ...
In Django, I'm trying to write a URLconf and view that can take a theoretically unlimited number of "tags". The reason for this is to retrieve objects that have been tagged with different combinations of tags. For example, URLs like this are desireable: /topics/tag1/tag2/tag3 The above URL would retrieve "topics" that have been tagge...
I want to have an input element at the to of my webpage that contains some global settings for a logged in user. How could I attach this piece of data to every single GET/POST and AJAX request that comes in from my web application? I wanted to tack this onto an existing site that has a lot of code already. Cookies aren't what I'm look...
Joel seems to think highly of daily builds. For a traditional compiled application I can certainly see his justification, but how does this parallel over to web development -- or does it not? A bit about the project I'm asking for -- There are 2 developers working on a Django (Python) web app. We have 1 svn repository. Each developer...

I want to let the same user session span across: site.com sub1.site.com sub2.site.com How can I do this in Django? With the default auth user package it seems to require the user to login to all 3 sites each time with a different session. How can they share the same login cookie and session-id? UPDATE: Using the SESSION_COOKIE_DOMAIN...

I have a dumb simple loop for alias in models.Alias.objects.all() : alias.update_points() but looking into the django QuerySet it seems to keep around a _result_cache of all the previous results. This is eating Gigs and Gigs of my machine and eventually everything blows up. How can I throw away all the stuff that I won't ever ca...
Let's say I have model app1.models.ModelOne defined with save decorated with @commit_on_success. All the exceptions caught in ModelOne.save() are re-raised. Works fine on model_one_instance.save(). However, in app2 I need to make series of insertions to ModelOne and rollback all of them if any of them fails. How do I accomplish this? ...
