ContentType template filter

Custom template filter to retrieve a content type of a given model instance. Useful for ModelForms which want to set the content_type field (i.e: GenericForeignKey). ### A usage example: {% load helpers %} {% with instance|content_type as ctype %} <input type="hidden" name="content_type" value="{{ ctype.pk }}"> {% endwith %} Original idea from [this stackoverflow answer] [1] [1]: http://stackoverflow.com/a/12807458/484127

query builder

""" Takes arguments & constructs Qs for filter() We make sure we don't construct empty filters that would return too many results We return an empty dict if we have no filters so we can still return an empty response from the view """

aggregate filter

Makes it possible to add a filtering condition directly after the aggregate function (or possible, `aggregate(expression) WITHIN GROUP (ordering clause)`. This is mostly useful if the annotation has two or more expressions, so it's possible to compare the result with and without the applied filter; it's more compact than using `Case`. It's suggested to add `values` to the queryset to get a proper group by. Usage example: `books = Book.objects.values('publisher__name').annotate( count=Count('*'), filtercount=Filter(expression=Count('publisher__name'), condition=Q(rating__gte=5)) ) ` Supported on Postgresql 9.4+. Possible other third-party backends.

Cachable Django Paginator

This is a modificated version of `CachedPaginator` by **daniellindsley** [https://djangosnippets.org/snippets/1173/](https://djangosnippets.org/snippets/1173/) ([web-arhive-link](https://web.archive.org/web/20150927100427/https://djangosnippets.org/snippets/1173/)). Which not only cache `result_objects`, but the `total_count` of the `queryset` too (usefull if computating the count is an expensive operation too).

Dead Code Finder

Rough check for unused methods in our apps. Scans models, views, utils, api, forms and signals files for what look like methods calls, then looks at all of our classes' methods to ensure each is called. Do not trust this blindly but it's a good way to get leads on what may be dead code. Assumes a setting called `LOCAL_APPS` so it only bothers to look at the code you've written rather than everything in `INSTALLED_APPS`.

Raw include from static dir tag

This is useful when you don't want to put any `{% verbatim %}` tag in the file(s) you're including within template(s) (because you want it/them completely raw) and when you want to load such file(s) from static dir(s), as native `{% include %}` tag can't achieve that (still). Put the provided code in *templatetags/rawinclude.py* in your Django app, and then use it in your template(s) like this: `{% load rawinclude %}{% raw_include 'file.html' %}`

Allow foreign key attributes in list_display with '__'

This snippet provides a subclass of admin.ModelAdmin that lets you span foreign key relationships in list_display using '__'. The foreign key columns are sortable and have pretty names, and select_related() is set appropriately so you don't need queries for each line. EDITS: * Fixed error when DEBUG=False. * Broke out `getter_for_related_field` so you can override short_description manually (see example). * Added regular foreign key fields to select_related(), since this is overriding the code in ChangeList that usually does it.
