Extend generic view object_list to support paginate_by via cookies

You can use this view to have a possibility to use ?paginate_by=x on your generic lists. Example usage in urls.py: `url('^list/', object_list_with_paginate_by, {'queryset': Invoice.objects.all(), 'template_name': 'invoices/list.html', 'paginate_by': 10}, 'invoices.list')` 10 is the default objects count per page. For the first time parameter paginate_by is set in URL, we have to get it straight from there. If the parameter is set, then also set the cookie for later requests without the parameter If the parameter is not set, then we try the cookie or default value

Left Outer join Q object

QLeftOuterJoin object allows you to create 'LEFT OUTER JOIN' sql query. It is very usefull if you have to define ForeignKey to 'null=True' (select_related will not work with null=True). You are allowed to use QLeftOuterJoin like Q object. Example: `QLeftOuterJoin('thread_last_post', Post, 'pk', Thread, 'last_post')` It will generates SQL like: LEFT OUTER JOIN appname_post AS thread_last_post ON thread_last_post.id = appname_thread.last_post_id Table could be model or string.

Decorator to modify reverse() to render SSL urls

This snippet monkey-patches Django's reverse() method (use for generating URLs from vew functions and parameters) to allow certain areas of your site to automatically have URLs with the correct SSL domain in place. This saves you from having to use unnecessary redirects to guide users to an SSL-encrypted version of a page. This should still be used alongside a redirect-based method (such as [this snippet](http://www.djangosnippets.org/snippets/85/)) to ensure that the user can't access an unencrypted version of the page Simply add the code to the files mentioned in the code. This obviously won't work anywhere that doesn't use reverse(), the admin app seems to be an example of this.

SSL Decorator

Wrote this some time ago when I couldn't find one already completed. Came up in the IRC channel so I decided to post it. Easy enough to use. `from ssldecorator import ssl_required` `@ssl_required` `def your_view(request):` ` ''' your code here '''` You can place a variable in your settings.py to change the SSL domain (ie, if you have SSL running on secure.yourdomain.com instead of www.yourdomain.com).. `SSL_DOMAIN = 'https://secure.yourdomain.com'` Note: please include a proper URL. If https isn't used, the decorator will add it.

TLS(SSL) middleware, per URL pattern or whole site

Allows url patterns to include a boolean indicating whether a view requires TLS(SSL). The accompanying middleware handles the redirects needed to make sure that it upholds this requirement. **WARNING**: this monkey-patches some Django internals and is difficult to test since Django's TestClient does not support TLS. If you use this make sure you test it thouroughly. Add this to your Django settings USE_TLS = True # The default for this setting is False. URL pattern usage url(r'^login$', 'myproject.login.index', {'require_tls': True}, name='login-index'), Use `require_tls` True to force the middleware to perform redirects needed to make sure your are serving this view using https. Use `require_tls` False to force the middleware to redirect to http. Be careful with this setting, this may not behave as you expect. If you don't care if the view is served via https or http then do not include `require_tls` in the pattern. If you wish to have every view in the site served with TLS then specify the following Django setting ALWAYS_USE_TLS = True # Django setting, use TLS for every view

Unlimited-length CharField

Unlimited-length character fields in Postgres perform the same as limited-length fields, and the Postgres manual suggests not arbitrarily limiting these fields. Unfortunately, Django does not provide a way to access unlimited-length character fields except using TextField, which is rendered differently in forms and in the admin, and has different connotations. LongCharField is a way to avoid putting arbitrary max_length values where they aren't required. It will only work with databases that allow VARCHAR with no numeric parameters, such as Postgres. MySQL won't work.

Feet and Inches FormField/Widget

Feet and Inches Widget/Field allows users to enter a value in feet, inches and fractional inches and have that value stored as a decimal in your database of choice. I have this code broken out into separate files, but you can always combine to suit your needs. I have designated file delineation with a single line comment and the name of the file as referenced in the import statements. The INCH_DECIMALS and INCH_FRACTION constants may be modified to allow smaller increments. My needs for this implementation only required accuracy to 1/16. Hope this helps someone learn how to use the MultiWidget and MultiValueFields! Happy Coding.

get_cache_or_query - Shortcut to common cache signature

Replaces something like this: cache_key = 'game1' the_game = cache.get(cache_key) if not the_game: the_game = Game.objects.get(id=1) cache.set(cache_key, the_game, 60*24*5) With this: the_game = get_cache_or_query('game1', Game, seconds_to_cache=60*24*5, id=1)

Command to make fixtures.

"Make fixture" command. Highly useful for making test fixtures. Use it to pick only few items from your data to serialize, restricted by primary keys. By default command also serializes foreign keys and m2m relations. You can turn off related items serialization with `--skip-related` option. How to use: python manage.py makefixture will display what models are installed python manage.py makefixture User[:3] or python manage.py makefixture auth.User[:3] or python manage.py makefixture django.contrib.auth.User[:3] will serialize users with ids 1 and 2, with assigned groups, permissions and content types. python manage.py makefixture YourModel[3] YourModel[6:10] will serialize YourModel with key 3 and keys 6 to 9 inclusively. Of course, you can serialize whole tables, and also different tables at once, and use options of dumpdata: python manage.py makefixture --format=xml --indent=4 YourModel[3] AnotherModel auth.User[:5] auth.Group

View response's content in a browser while testing

I often insert `pdb.set_trace()` in my test cases to debug and examine behavior. When tests fail with assertions like `assertContains(response, 'Some text')`, it would be useful to see the response's contents in a browser window. This snippet does just that. Simply put this code in a python script on your `PYTHONPATH` and import/call the function when the debugger starts. Only tested on Ubuntu and you might want to change `URL_OPENER` to whatever you want to open the URLs. Simple, but hopefully useful.
