I'm running a Django site using the fastcgi interface to nginx. However, some pages are being served truncated (i.e. the page source just stops, sometimes in the middle of a tag). How do I fix this (let me know what extra information is needed, and I'll post it) Details: I'm using flup, and spawning the fastcgi server with the followin...
I went to all the documentation, also I went to the IRC channel (BTW a great community) and they told me that is not possible to create a model and limit choices in a field where the 'current user' is in a ForeignKey. I will try to explain this with an example: class Project(models.Model): name = models.CharField(max_length=100) emp...
This is a part algorithm-logic question (how to do it), part implementation question (how to do it best!). I'm working with Django, so I thought I'd share with that. In Python, it's worth mentioning that the problem is somewhat related to how-do-i-use-pythons-itertoolsgroupby. Suppose you're given two Django Model-derived classes: fro...
I'm working on what I think is a pretty standard django site, but am having trouble getting my admin section to display the proper fields. Here's my models.py: class Tech(models.Model): name = models.CharField(max_length = 30) class Project(models.Model): title = models.CharField(max_length = 50) techs = models.ManyToManyF...
I'm just starting to get into Django, and of course as of last night one of the two new Python versions went final (2.6 obviously ;)) so I'm wondering if 2.6 plus Django is ready for actual use or do the Django team need more time to finish with tweaks/cleanup? All the google searches I did were inconclusive, I saw bits about some ini...
I have a Person model that has a foreign key relationship to Book. Book has a number of fields, but I'm most concerned about "author" (a standard CharField). With that being said, in my PersonAdmin model, I'd like to display "book.author" using "list_display". I've tried all of the obvious methods for doing so (see below), but nothing...
I've made a Django site, but I've drank the Koolaid and I want to make an IPhone version. After putting much thought into I've come up with two options: Make a whole other site, like i.xxxx.com. Tie it into the same database using Django's sites framework. Find some time of middleware that reads the user-agent, and changes the templa...
Currently I am hosted a Django app I developed myself for my clients, but i am now starting to look at selling it to people for them to host themselves. My question is this: How can i package up and sell a Django app, but also protect my code from pirating or theft. Distributing a bunch of .py files doesn't sound like a good idea as the...
I am running a Django through mod_python on Apache on a linux box. I have a custom authentication backend, and middleware that requires authentication for all pages, except static content. My problem is that after I log in, I will still randomly get the log in screen now and again. It seems to me that each apache process has it's own py...
I have a pretty standard django app, and am wondering how to set the url routing so that I don't have to explicitly map each url to a view. For example, let's say that I have the following views: Project, Links, Profile, Contact. I'd rather not have my urlpatterns look like this: (r'^Project/$', 'mysite.app.views.project'), (r'^Links/...
I was considering creating a separate SQLite database for certain apps on a Django project. However, I did not want to use direct SQLite access if possible. Django-style ORM access to these database would be ideal. Is this possible? Thank you. ...
I'm having trouble wrapping my head around this. Right now I have some models that looks kind of like this: def Review(models.Model) ...fields... overall_score = models.FloatField(blank=True) def Score(models.Model) review = models.ForeignKey(Review) question = models.TextField() grade = models.IntegerField() A ...
I'm developing a website (in Django) that uses OpenID to authenticate users. As I'm currently only running on my local machine I can't authenticate using one of the OpenID providers on the web. So I figure I need to run a local OpenID server that simply lets me type in a username and then passes that back to my main app. Does such an Op...
I'd like to create a subset of Users that don't have a login... basically as a way to add a photographer field to photos without having a full blown account associated with that person (since in many cases, they'll never actually log in to the site). A caveat is that I'd also like to be able to enable an account for them later. So, I th...
For development, I use a local LAMP stack, for production I'm using MediaTemple's Django Container (which I'm loving BTW). MT's container uses lighthttpd. Honestly I've never had any other experience with it. I've always used Apache. I've been doing some reading: Onlamp TextDrive Linux.com Here's are questions: What strengths doe...
I have done a little django development but it has all been in a text editor. I was curious what more advanced development tools others are using in their django development. I am used to using Visual Studio for development and really like the intellisense, code completion, and file organization it provides and would like to find somet...
After making some changes in my models (eg. new field in a model and a new model) what is the best way of reflecting these changes to my populated database? PS: I wanted to see many solutions in one place rated. Apparently more solutions are already listed here. ...
What I would like to achive is: I go to admin site, apply some filters to the list of objects I click and object edit, edit, edit, hit 'Save' Site takes me to the list of objects... unfiltered. I'd like to have the filter from step 1 remembered and applied. Is there an easy way to do it? ...
Just wondering if there is an easy way to add the functionality to duplicate an existing listing in the admin interface? In data entry we have run into a situation where a lot of items share generic data with another item, and to save time it would be very nice to quickly duplicate an existing listing and only alter the changed data. Us...
