What Django Does Django's Model Field "blank" attribute, and the way it gets negated and turned into the Form Field "required" attribute when you create a ModelForm, is pretty cool. It allows me to set the property on the model where it belongs, but have the "required" attribute available when handling a ModelForm created from it. Havin...

I am using Sphinx with autodoc for documenting my Django project. Design guys want to have documentation page(s) about all the template tags that are defined in the project. Of course, I can make such a page by enumerating all the template processing functions by hand, but I think it is not DRY, isn't it? In fact, template tag processin...

The Django documentation gives examples for using annotate() to produce aggregate results based on related fields of a QuerySet (i.e., using joins in annotate()). A simplified example from the docs is for instance Store.objects.annotate(min_price=Min('books__price')), where books is a ManyToMany field of Store to Book and price is a fie...

The Date has a foreign key to Event, so that an Event may (or should) have one or more Dates. Now I want to have a form to create Events and this form should include a subform for adding one corresponding Date ...
I'm working on a video management application where each video clip is associated with a single program-name and a single category-name, but programs and categories can be associated with multiple different videos. (This part is straight forward.) What's different is that the choices for category-names vary on a per program basis. For ...
I'm attempting to construct a Django application that models an existing set of tables. These tables all have the same fields, plus custom fields per table. What I'm wanting to do is model this structure, and have records save to a particular table based on what table model they are attached to. These tables can be created quite often,...

Hi all, I have a Django form that will add an entry to a database with a unique constraint on one of the columns. If the submission happens to attempt creation of a duplicate, I get a django.db.utls.IntegrityError stating I violated the unique constraint (thankfully). When processing Django forms, there are a number of ways to valid...
I'm trying to do the equivalent of the following SQL in Django: SELECT * FROM applicant WHERE date_out - date_in >= 1 AND date_out - date_in <= 6 I can do this as a RAW sql query, but this is becoming frustrating in dealing with a RawQuerySet instead of a regular QuerySet object as I would like to be able to filter it later in the code...
I would like to implement a location based search, based on the geonames zip code dump. For that, I want to use geodjango, but I have no idea how to implement the geonames data for lookup.

I currently manage a website, coded in django, that has 2 standard areas - the frontend and backoffice (which is built using django's admin interface). Recently the customer claimed he wanted 2 diffrent authentications - one for frontend users and another one - for people managing the backoffice. Until now they both used standard djan...
I am making a form in Django. The field to display is a numeric field representing some limit. It's possible for there to be no limit. Rather than force the user to enter some strange number to mean unlimited (e.g. -1), I'd like there to be a radio button, with 2 options: "Unlimited" and the second option being a text box that the user c...
