Quick question. In my syndication feed framework code, http://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/ref/contrib/syndication/ what is the best way to get access to the session?

I'm aware of full text search applications like Django Solr and solango, etc. What I'm looking to built is more akin to an advanced search for a real estate site. E.g they can choose location, price, etc. similar to www.viewr.com advanced search. What I have done so far is this, under the models custom manager: def advanced_search(se...

"http://localhost/login" --> this is the login page...
Certainly not a new question I think, but here it goes: In my Django based Order system each user (who is not staff) is related to a CustomerProfile object which matches that user to the correct Customer object. This customer users can log in and view outstanding Invoices. To view a customer's invoices you navigate to something like t...

I was wondering when dealing with a web service API that returns XML, whether it's better (faster) to just call the external service each time and parse the XML (using ElementTree) for display on your site or to save the records into the database (after parsing it once or however many times you need to each day) and make database calls i...
Does anyone know how to set up auto completion to work nicely with python, django, and vim? I've been trying to use pysmell, but I can't seem to get it set up correctly (or maybe I don't know how it works). Right now, I run pysmell in the django directory (I'm using the trunk) and move the resulting tags to my project directory, then I ...
I would like to override (create custom) widgets/foreign.html template for a ForeignKey field but can't find this in the source. Browsing the Django SVN respository I can find these files at revision: 7966, but they are removed after this revision; http://code.djangoproject.com/browser/django/trunk/django/contrib/admin/templates/widget?...
I'm configuring autocompletion for python and django in vim. One of the problems is that I need to set an environment variable DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE=myapp.settings. The django tutorial states that The value of DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE should be in Python path syntax, e.g. mysite.settings. Note that the settings module should ...

I have a modelform which has one field that is a ForeignKey value to a model which as 40,000 rows. The default modelform tries to create a select box with 40,000 options, which, to say the least is not ideal. Even more so when this modelform is used in a formset factory! In the admin, this is easiely avoidable by using "raw_id_fields", ...
Hi I've been using Django for over a year, but I think I've missed out on some very fundamental thing. I have a rather large queryset (1000+ objects) and I'd like to change a single attribute for each of the objects in that queryset. Is this really the way to go? I'm sure there is something simpler? for obj in qs: obj.my_attr = True ...
