I'm going to be implementing the comments framework and I'm wondering what I should expect to run into. If someone could specifically explain the methods they've tried/tested for anti-spam measures in django and give recommendations I'd greatly appreciate it. And yes, I have read some of the questions here but I haven't run into a detai...

I'm looking to do the opposite of what Django's proxy model does. I want to subclass Model, add some extra methods to it, add behavior to save(), set a default manager that adds some my-application-specific methods, and then subclass that to create most of the models in my application. Is this possible? ...
Hello everybody, ok i think this is very basic, but since i'm new to django i don't know how to handle this.. I need to copy an instance of a django-model. As explained here, there is a problem with copying many2many relations. But the attachment "django-model-copying.diff" has that function i guess. So i don't know - does my django alr...
I love the ease of django's pagination system, but is there anyway to tweak it where it's paginating by item id instead of page number? Because I am ordering in descending order, if there is an update on a page while a user is going through the pages, the ordering is off. For instance, if each page had 3 items Item #1 Item #2 Item #3 ...
I have a site which enables the user to download certain files. However I want to keep a download count for each file so going the usual way by putting the static files on a different subdomain and then letting apache do the heavy lifting is not a way as well as HttpResponseRedirecting the user to a subdomain isn't good because then the ...
I have updated my url pattern from: (r'^(?P<slug>[-\w]+)/$', 'bugs.views.bug_detail'), to (r'^issue/(?P<id>[0-9]+)/(?P<slug>[-\w]+)/$', 'bugs.views.bug_detail'), So I'm now relying on the primary key in the URL since the slug can change at any time. I have about 40-50 links that I need to 301 to spiders/crawlers. What's the easies...

Why does the commented out code work, while the other code returns a BoundField error? Shouldn't they be equivalent? form = PostForm(request.POST) post = Post(title = form['title'], details = form['details']) #post = Post(title = request.POST['title'], details = request.POST['details']) Also, I fear the title to this question makes n...
Our website gets updated almost everyday. We need to update the sitemap to the google webmasters every time there are new pages added. We have tried using ping_google() along with the required set of arguments and google and it never seem to update the sitemap on webmasters.

Hi there, I was having some issues with a Django app called "django-categories" The developer told me to use the source instead of the egg. How do I do that? ...
I want to update a customer table with a spreadsheet from our accounting system. Unfortunately I can't just clear out the data and reload all of it, because there are a few records in the table that are not in the imported data (don't ask). For 2000 records this is taking about 5 minutes, and I wondered if there was a better way of doin...
