Some user statistics, or random posts, or feeds, etc. All of my views look like this: def viewname(request) : template_vales = {} // Stuff return rend...

For example, for a single-level URL pattern, I have: url(r'^(?P<segment>[-\w]+)/$', views.page_by_slug, name='pg_slug'), Which works great for url...
In Django-Registration it says you can save a custom profile when you save a user. But I have no idea what the documentation is asking me to do. Here is what they say: "To enable creation of a custom user profile along with the User (e.g., the model specified in the AUTH_PROFILE_MODULE setting), define a function which knows how to cre...

I am python/django developer. As a part of improving my knowledge and felt like I need to "contribute" to the field of open-source, I started looking for django projects in code.google.com. There were many. I am not very sure which ones are popular and which needs help. Can you help me out in this direction, so that I instead of using ma...
I have one Product Model that has a FK to price, as one product can contain many prices. But I also want to be able to pick which one of those many prices should be the actual price, therefore I have both price (in Product Model) and product (in Price Model) to accomplish this. Consider these following models: class Product(models.Model...

But the user's primary email address is part of their main account, not part of their extended profile. Therefore ...

Given a randomn image, how can I sc...
After being dissatisfied with the existing solutions I wrote an OpenId provider for Django. If now somebody wants to authenticate himself somewhere as http://tejp.de/users/abc/ and needs to login for that, I want to display the login form with the username preset to "abc". The standard functions like redirect_to_login don't seem to prov...
How can I make a ForeignKey refer back to the object itself? I'm trying : Alias(MyBaseModel): type = models.ForeignKey('self') a = Alias() a.type = a a.save() But then when I run it : (1048, "Column 'type_id' cannot be null") I don't want the type to be null, I want it to contain its own ID. I have tons of objects, but only 1 ...
I don't know if I'm thinking of this the right way, and perhaps somebody will set me straight. Let's say I have a models.py that contains this: class Order(models.Model): customer = models.foreignKey(Customer) total = models.charField(max_length=10) has_shipped = models.booleanField() class Product(models.Model): sku = models....
