Django has a DATE_FORMAT and a DATE_TIME_FORMAT options that allow us to choose which format to use when viewing dates, but doesn't apparently let me change the input format for the date when editing or adding in the Django Admin. The default for the admin is: YYYY-MM-DD But would be awesome to use: DD-MM-YYYY Is this integrated in an...
I want to write a unit test for a Django manage.py command that does a backend operation on a database table. How would I invoke the management command directly from code? I don't want to execute the command on the Operating System's shell from tests.py because I can't use the test environment set up using manage.py test (test databa...
Django creates a search box on the list display page when the field "search_fields" is included in a ModelAdmin. Some of my inline models refer to the items on the list page. If the search box terms match fields in these inline models, I'd like the results to include the referents in the list. Example: Database has a table of names and...
I want to trigger a special action in the save() method of a Django model object when I'm saving a new record (not updating an existing record.) Is the check for (self.id != None) necessary and sufficient to guarantee the self record is new and not being updated? Any special cases this might overlook? ...
I know how to set initial values to a form from the view. But how do I go about letting a generic view set initial values to a form? I can write a wrapper view for the generic view, but I still have no access to the form object instantiation. The specific goal I'm trying to achieve is to have a user create a new object, using the create...

I have made a inline named as Fooinline. This inline was working fine in Django 1.02 but as soon as I upgraded to Django 1.1 it started giving an error: **TypeError at /admin/casd/aaas/4028cb901dd9720a011deadd85e8007f/ __init__() got an unexpected keyword argument 'request'** My Fooinline code is: class FooInline(InlineModelAdmin): ...
Django tends to fill up horizontal space when adding or editing entries on the admin, but, in some cases, is a real waste of space, when, i.e., editing a date field, 8 characters wide, or a CharField, also 6 or 8 chars wide, and then the edit box goes up to 15 or 20 chars. How can I tell the admin how wide a textbox should be, or the he...
This doesn't work: >>> pa = Person.objects.all() >>> pa[2].nickname u'arst' >>> pa[2].nickname = 'something else' >>> pa[2].save() >>> pa[2].nickname u'arst' But it works if you take p = Person.objects.get(pk=2) and change the nick. Why so. ...
Hello! I am having a rather weird problem in a sense that I can't understand what it might be. My site uses django-registration and all works fine, but if I restart django dev. server in the middle of the session (i.e. been logged in) I immediately get error: Caught an exception while rendering: Reverse for 'django.contrib.auth.decorat...

Hello! Is there a way to somehow trace importing of the views ? I want to find which one is broken and doesn't import in some situations (which leads to the fact that all url resolving schema in django stops working). ...
I've been working with a Django app for a while, and the Django admin interface works great, except that the "View on site" link doesn't work. Whenever I try to use it, I get an OperationalError with the message: no such table: django_site. I've done some research into this problem, and it seems that I have to set up the Django sites fra...
Hi. The site makes use of 2 objects - articles and blogs. Every time an article or blog is viewed, a related counter should increase by one. The idea is to have a "top ten" application that measures the "popularity" of the articles and entries. Because I'm using more than one object, I would like the Tracker model to use a genericFo...
is there a way to do a query and exclude a list of things instead of calling exclude multiple times? ...
Is there any simple mechanism for overriding Django settings for a unit test? I have a manager on one of my models that returns a specific number of the latest objects. The number of objects it returns is defined by a NUM_LATEST setting. This has the potential to make my tests fail if someone were to change the setting. How can I ove...
