Hi, I have a lot of things in my initial_data.json right now. I wondered if there is a way to split the data in files (by model) so that all of the files are loaded via same manage syncdb command? Thanks, Nick I recently revisited the problem, and came up with a better way of hooking code to 'real' post_syncdb signal: http://www.dja...
I'm using django-uni-form to style my form using the filter my_form|as_uni_form: <form class="uniForm" id="my_form" method="post" action="./"> <fieldset class="inlineLabels"> {{ my_form|as_uni_form }} <div class="form_block"> <input type="submit" value="Submit"/> </div> </fi...
The Django date template filter takes the format character "a" for "a.m." and "A" for "AM". How do you get lower case without periods or upper case with the periods? You can use lower and upper filters, but they will mess with month and day of the week formatting. ...
Hi all, I am currently making the switch from Django to Turbogears 2.1 and am running into some problems that I could not find the answers to in the Turbogears docs. If tg developers read this, let me tell you that one of the best features Django has over TG is its documentation! 1) How do I access the request (user?) object within a m...
I am trying to present a dictionary from my view.py at the HTML template such as: test = { 'works': True, 'this fails':False } and in the template: This works without a problem: {{ test.works }} But a dictionary key that is having an empty space between words such as 'this fails' doesn't work: {{ test.this fails }} I get this e...
The topic may be a bit ambiguous. I am writing a Python application. I want to upload it on Facebook as a Facebook application (NOT Facebook Connect). But I am having the hardest time figuring out how to implement the features of my application with Facebook. My application currently uses a MySQL database. Now I want a user of Facebook...
I have been developing some Django app and there's some duplicated code for different Models. I'd like to create a generic table template and pass the Model class, a list of model instances, and Form classes to it so it can render the page and generate the forms to add/delete elements. Then create some generic add/delete views to work wi...
Hi, I've tried to search it here and google'd it but can't find any info nor a relevant question. What are some famous sites that have been built in Django? Thanks! ...
I'm wrestling with how to best create HTML pages in Django that can either be used for displaying or editing data. That is, I'd like the field's values to appear as text in display mode, but in their widgets when in edit/add mode. It appears that Django wasn't designed to do this: the fields always appear in their widgets (eg, text input...
How do you configure Django for full-text search with MySQL-InnoDB. MySQL Myisam engine supports full-text search but I will use InnoDB. Is that the best way to use Sphinx? If you explain your configuration I will appreciate. (By the way I wonder how it works with postgresql too.) ...
I'm interested in learning how to Doctests and Unit tests in a more Agile / BDD way. I've found a few tutorials that seem reasonable, but they are just thumbnails. What I would really like to see is the source code of some Django projects that were developed BDD style. The things I'm unclear about are how do you handle request objects e...

Basic status update. I have downloaded and installed pyfacebook - and I have read through the tutorial from Facebook. I have also seen this s...
I have an application that will handle a big number of users. The users are divided into 2 types: public and private. Furthermore the private users are comprised of two different companies (maybe even more in the future) and already have established usernames from a LDAP & active directories that will be used to pre-populate my applica...

I've found several blog posts where TDD/BDD is explained, but the examples are usually really basic. Usually they are just for Models. I want to see how people are really using BDD in Real Life. I'd love be pointed towards some Django apps that were built test first style so I can learn from them. I know that Rails had many examples, s...

Hi, I've moved my django application from one server to another, and spotted strange bug with media after it: Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/lib/python2.5/site- packages/Django-1.1.1-py2.5.egg/django/core/handlers/base.py", line 92, in get_response response = callback(request, *callback_args, **callback_kwargs) Fi...
