Extended i18n base model

This snippet is an extension of [i18n base model for translatable content](http://djangosnippets.org/snippets/855/) so all the same usage applies. I have extended this module in several ways to make it more fully featured. * `I18NMixin` can be an additional (via multiple inheritance) or alternative superclass for your models juxtaposed with an `I18NModel`. * Adds a property `_` to access the appropriate I18NModel. `trans` aliases this (or rather vice versa) for template access. * In a call to `.filter` you can query on translated fields by wrapping those fields in a call to i18nQ. I like to import this as _ if I haven't already used that import. * A call to I18NFieldset will return an inline for use in the builtin admin app. I like to call this inline to the assignment to inlines. * If you need abstracted access to the I18N model from a model, I've added a property I18N referring to it. I've been using this with great convenience and stability.

Upgrade django url tags

In Django 1.5 url tags require you to pass in the name of the url as a string. So where you used to be able to do this {% url home_page %} you now have to do this {% url 'home_page' %} Upgrading an old project can be a pain, so here is a snippet for a py file that will update all your url tags. Just put it in a py file in your root directory and execute it. The error you get otherwise is: 'url' requires a non-empty first argument. The syntax changed in Django 1.5, see the docs.

Header view decorators

This file includes two Django view decorators `header` and `headers` that provide an easy way to set response headers. Also, because I have to work with a lot of cross domain requests, I include few shortcuts for convenience to set the Access-Control-Allow-Origin header appropriately.

Gravatar support in model save override

Overridden save() method that adds Gravatar support for a user with a profile photo field (and presumably an email field). Checks to see if user has provided a photo. If not, then query Gravatar for a possible photo. Finally, if Gravatar does not have an appropriate photo for this user, then use whatever default photo is available (in this case, 'users/photos/default_profile_photo.png'... change as necessary).

Template {% macro %} support, with context rendering

Reuse blocks of template code and content as macros. This is a small extension of https://gist.github.com/skyl/1715202 (which was based on http://djangosnippets.org/snippets/363/) to support rendering macro output into context variables. See comments for details.

Add querystring parameters to path (template tag)

`<h3>Page: {{ page.number }} of {{ page.paginator.num_pages }}</h3> {% if page.has_previous or page.has_next %} <div> {% if page.has_previous %} <a href="{% url_add_query page=page.previous_page_number %}">{% endif %}&laquo; Previous {% if page.has_previous %}</a>{% endif %} | {% if page.has_next %} <a href="{% url_add_query page=page.next_page_number %}">{% endif %} Next &raquo;{% if page.has_next %}</a>{% endif %} </div> {% endif %}`

create_model_instances management command

This management command is run like this: `./manage.py -a someapp filename.cfg` it looks in `someapp`'s directory for a file called `/config/filename.cfg` with the format explained in the help text, and creates the model instances described in the config file. It uses the configobj module. this would be an example config file: [project.Profile] [[fields]] receive_notifications = False [[children]] [[[auth.User]]] [[[[fields]]]] username = AnnonymousUser password = ! # set unusable password. There's no way yet to hash and set a given password email = [email protected]

MongoDB data load

This snippet loads data from JSON files into a MongoDB database. The code is related with the other snippet [MongoDB data dump](http://djangosnippets.org/snippets/2872/). To get it working, just create a ``MONGODB_NAME`` variable in settings, holding the name of your Mongo database. This can be edited to fit more your needs. The snippet requires ``Pymongo``, since it uses its bson module and the ``MongoClient``.

Recursive template tag for Django with arguments

This template tag was inspired by http://djangosnippets.org/snippets/592/, but with improvements in the syntax it is used with to be more function-like, and avoiding the problem of conditional recursion as noted in http://djangosnippets.org/comments/cr/15/592/#c2472. The syntax for using it can be seen in the docstring of the defrecurse() function. Additionally, a magic "level" variable is used to indicate the level of recursion, starting with 0 for the outermost level. This should theoretically allow for nested recursion, but the inner {% recurse %} call cannot call the outer {% defrecurse %} block.
