My primary navigation consists of news categories, which belong to the Category model. I hardcoded the nav in templates/base.html but want to make it dynamic...

Short version: How do you deploy your Django servers? What application server, front-end (if any, and by front-end I mean reverse proxy), and OS do you run it on? Any input would be greatly appreciated, I'm quite a novice when it comes to Python and even more as a server administrator. Long version: I'm migrating between server hosts, s...
Hi all, Would it be possible/best practice to use 1 FormWizard for manipulating multiple models? I've experimented with the FormWizard and have defined all the forms.

Someone has probably already developed a technique for relieving the tedium for the following idiomatic unit test: GET a url with form data already populated POST a revised form with one or more fields edited Check response (profit!) Step 2 is the most tedious, cycling through the form fields. Are there any time-saving hacks for tes...
I'm using django-tinymce in my Django website. Through the admin interface one can edit a SimplePage object which has a tinymce.models.HTMLField. The website visitor will then see the html rendered in the content area of the page. Problem is, the website itself has a dark background, and the TinyMCE textarea has a white one. By default ...
I have a simple form class MyForm(forms.Form): ... fieldname = forms.CharField(help_text="Some help text") I can then display this form with django's handy {{ form.as_ul }} if I like, now I need to stylise the help_text and I have no idea how. Django doesn't appear to wrap that string in anything that will let my CSS get to i...

When I use the Python shell and try to grab the same article entry, the outer <>'s get converted to < and <, respectively. Snippet of me testing: >>> entry = Entry.objects.filter( pub_dat...
TinyMCE is working just fine, all except for the popup windows. They come up blank, and after a little bit of Google searching, apparently it has something to do with cross domain errors with Firefox and Django. I tried using document.domain, but I have a feeling that it doesn't work when you're using the Django development server (http:...
