The default django 1.0.2 ManyToManyField widget (a multi-select) is difficult to use when there are a lot of things in the select box. Is there another widget available that gives a comma separated list of id's in a textarea?

I want to write unit tests but the application is time sensitive (e.g. the amount advertisers are charged is a function of how long their ad has been active on a website). What's a good approach for testing this type of application? Here's one possible solution: a DateFactory class which provi...
Trying to understand S3...How do you limit access to a file you upload to S3? For example, from a web application, each user has files they can upload, but how do you limit access so only that user has access to that file? It seems like the query string authentication requires an expiration date and that won't work for me, is there ano...
Hi Stackers, I'm deploying my django site on a Ubuntu 8.10 server that I've set up from scratch. I'm totally new to this so there may be plenty of stuff that I've missed, but happily have found my way through to the point of deploying a website. My last hurdle: I'm getting an authentication error with postgresql [Sun Apr 19 18:44:05...

I suppose this means that one can essentially use bogus parameters and write arbitrary commands for t...

How do I create an "AND" filter to retrieve objects in Django? e.g I would like to retrieve a row which has a combination of two words in a single field.

I would like to give users access to delete a model instance that they added to the db. In the django docs it says allowing someone to delete from the template is not a good practice. Is there a secure way to let a user click a "delete this" link from the template and remove that model instance? How should I go about doing that? ...

I am a newbie to Django and web-development in general so be patient for maybe a very dumb question :) I have a form generated from a model and in this form I have about 20 checkboxes. Now they are aligned in one long column and it looks not very nice from a UI point of view. I'd like this column to be split in several ones but still ha...

Outside of the source code, is there any extensive documentation on the Magento ORM? I get the basics, and can usually dig through the Mage code base, litter it with Mage::Log calls and figure out something that works, but my efficiency would go way up if I had a high level overview of how the models are intended to be used. How do the...
