I'm building a software repository on top of the Django framework. Because it will contain a lot of files, i want it to make some sense when looking at it through a file manager. So i grouped the files first by the URL of a program they belong to and then by first two letters of that URL. Here's how it looks: The schema looks like thi...

Basically, which of the Perl MVC frameworks is closest to dja...

Let's say that I have subclassed User model (CustomUser) properly (as explained here: http://scottbarnham.com/blog/2008/08/21/extending-the-django-user-model-with-inheritance/) and installed the comments app. to access the user of a comment in the template I write: {{comment.user}} # which provides User, not my CustomUser and theref...
I have a model that has a ForeignKey to the built-in user model in django.contrib.auth and I'm frustrated by the fact the select box in the admin always sorts by the user's primary key. I'd much rather have it sort by username alphabetically, and while it's my instinct not to want to fiddle with the innards of Django, I can't seem to fi...

I'm currently building a portfolio site for a client, and I'm having trouble with one small area. I want to be able to upload multiple images (varying number) inline for each portfolio item, and I can't see an obvious way to do it. The most user-friendly way I can see would be a file upload form with a JavaScript control that allows the...
I'm working on an online store in Django (just a basic shopping cart right now), and I'm planning to add functionality for users to mark items as favorite (just like in stackoverflow). Models for the cart look something like this: class Cart(models.Model): user = models.OneToOneField(User) class CartItem(models.Model): cart = m...

UPDATE: There are stupid questions, and this is one of them. I didn't realize that serving JavaScript via Django was so large a question. When I've answered it, I'll post the most useful resources for those who want to RTFM, unless the mods close this first. Until then, sorry for wasting your time. How do I install and configure Ti...

I am hosting a Django app on Apache using mod_python. Occasionally, I get some cryptic mod_python errors, usually of the ImportError variety, although not usually referring to the same module. The thing is, these seem to come up for a single forked subprocess, while the others operate fine, even when I force behavior that requires usin...
Hello, If you were to write an app for a site, but wanted to make the app plug&play so you can just drop it in any Django project, set the main URL and there you go, how would you do that if you wanted to keep all the other required utility apps included in your portable app. Example: site/ site/site-app1 site/templates/site-app1 site...

I have two classes with a ManyToMany relationship. I'd like to select one from the first class and access the fields of the related class. It seems like this should be easy. For example: class Topping(models.Model): name = models.CharField(max_length=40) class Pizza(models.Model): name = models.CharField(max_length=40) toppings =...
In Django, when you have a parent class and multiple child classes that inherit from it you would normally access a child through parentclass.childclass1_set or parentclass.childclass2_set, but what if I don't know the name of the specific child class I want? Is there a way to get the related objects in the parent->child direction witho...
