Authentication Against Active Directory (LDAP) over SSL

I had some trouble getting other peoples code to work for AD support, so I wrote my own which authenticates against LDAP and will also use SSL and cert if required. It will also verify that an autheticated user has specific group membership before authorizing. This will also debug to a file, which is really helpful when trying to figure out problems. One thing that really got me when getting python-ldap to work was that you must have "ldap.set_option(ldap.OPT_REFERRALS,0)" set or any ldap search will not work. Also, this will add group permissions to a user.

instant 'master' admin site

The newforms-admin branch (to be merged by 0.97, I think) is very nice to work with, separating models from the admin. It is trivial to create an admin site that includes every app that is installed. Note that you also get all your docs for things like template tags, etc.

ModelChoiceField with choice groups for recursive relationships

Note: must call within __init__() method, so you must do self.fields["field"] = ModelChoiseField(...). This is because I did not use a ModelChoiceIterator. A subclass of ModelChoiceField which represents the tree level of each node when generating option labels. It's limited to one level of nesting, if you need more, you should consider the django-mptt package. For example, where a form which used a ModelChoiceField: category = ModelChoiceField(queryset=Category.objects.all()) ...would result in a select with the following options: --------- Root 1 Root 2 Child 1.1 Child 1.2 Child 2.1 Using a NestedModelChoiceField instead: category = NestedModelChoiceField(queryset=Category.objects.all(), related_name='category_set', parent_field='parent_id', label_field='title') ...would result in a select with the following options: Root 1 --- Child 1.1 --- Child 1.2 Root 2 --- Child 2.1

Support disabling options in a select widget

Provide the ability to disable a select option with Django2. This can be done during the widget initialization (i.e when the widget field is created) or during form initialization. This will disable the select option based on a context or by specifying the values that should be disabled.

Auth decorators with 403 - Django 1.11

This decorator is based on user_passes_test, but when a user is logged in and fails the test, it will render a 403 error instead of redirecting to login - only anonymous users will be asked to login. Version working with Django 1.11, based on version found on [https://djangosnippets.org/snippets/254/] , which is deprecated.

DRF - Optimizing ModelViewSet queries

Using Django REST Framework for Model views there is always the issue of making duplicated queries without either prefetching the objects that will be accessed using the serializer and as such will lead to large number of queries being made to the database. This will help in optimizing the queryset used for the viewset by accessing the `_meta.fields` property of the serializer.

DropDownMultiple widget

Observation: depends on jQuery to works! This widget works like other multiple select widgets, but it shows a drop down field for each choice user does, and aways let a blank choice at the end where the user can choose a new, etc. Example using it: class MyForm(forms.ModelForm): categories = forms.Field(widget=DropDownMultiple) def __init__(self, *args, **kwargs): self.base_fields['categories'].widget.choices = Category.objects.values_list('id', 'name') super(MyForm, self).__init__(*args, **kwargs)

Pagination Alphabetically compatible with paginator_class

This is just a modified version of a [previous snippet](http://djangosnippets.org/snippets/1364/) to make it work with unicode and with class-based ListView paginator_class To use it put this in your urls.py: `from youapp.fileyouchose import NamePaginator` `urlpatterns = patterns('',` `url(r'^example/(?P<page>[0-9]+)/$', ListView.as_view(model=myModel,template_name="mytemplate.html",paginator_class=NamePaginator,paginate_by=25), name="url_name"),` And then in your template something like this would work: {% if page_obj.has_other_pages %} <div class="row"> <div class="span12"> <div class="pagination"> <ul> {% if page_obj.has_previous %} <li><a href="{% url page page=page_obj.previous_page_number %}">Prev</a></li> {% else %} <li class="disabled"><a>Prev</a></li> {% endif %} {% for p in page_obj.paginator.pages %} <li {% if p == page_obj %}class="active"{% endif %}> <a href="{% url category_page page=p.number %}">{{ p }}</a> </li> {% endfor %} {% if page_obj.has_next %} <li><a href="{% url page page=page_obj.next_page_number %}">Next</a></li> {% else %} <li class="disabled"><a>Next</a></li> {% endif %} </ul> </div> </div> </div> {% endif %}

Continuing and breaking from loops in Django templates

This snippet makes Django templates support `break` and `continue` in loops. It is actually more powerful than the respective Python statements as it allows breaking and continuing from an outer loop, not just the innermost. `break` and `continue` are implemented as template filters, with the input value being the loop variable. For example, to break from the current `for` loop use `forloop|break`, and to continue from the next outer loop use `forloop.parentloop|continue`. The implementation monkeypatches Django (specifically Nodelist and ForNode) and has been tested on v1.2 with Python 2.6.
