Snippet List
Support for permissions for anonymous users in django ModelBackend
Model backend that enables permissions for AnonymusUsers. I wanted it to be as simple as possible so anonymous users just forward their permission checks to some fixed user model. This instance can be edited via django admin, assigned to groups, etc. To control which user will represent anonymous user you use ANONYMOUS_USER_NAME setting in settings file. To provide some sensible level of security i enforce following for user that represents anonymous user: * This user must have password equal to UNUSABLE_PASSWORD * This user may not log in * You cant cange password for this user via admin. You need to enable this backend by setting AUTHENTICATION_BACKENDS. Please note that you should not place this backend alongside django ModelBackend. This backend inherits from it.

pre_save hook for checking state changes to models
Trying to build a state-machine that stores state in the model or in settings.py rather then in the database, I wrote this small generic pre_save hook that lets me leave all the data in the Model.

UTC-based astimezone filter
A version of http://djangosnippets.org/snippets/2388/ which assumes UTC-based dates. This is when you store dates in UTC (as you should), and want to display them in your site's local timezone, and you notice that Django's timesince/time template tags still do not support timezones.

Remove old fields on dumpdata generated json
A small script that takes a manage.py dumpdata generated json file, and removes fields of the specified models. I needed this because i kept my initial data on a json file and after I removed a field on one of my models, the script wouldn't work anymore.

Persistent Session Debugging with Django Debug Toolbar
When using [django debug toolbar](https://github.com/django-debug-toolbar/django-debug-toolbar), I like to be able to turn debugging on and off without having to edit my settings file. This callback makes that possible. Add `?debug=on` to the URL to turn debugging on. It will remain on in the current session until you turn it off with `?debug=off`. Make sure your session middleware comes before your debug toolbar middleware.

Haystack objects in one query
Actually the best way to handle this is to use built-in http://docs.haystacksearch.org/dev/searchqueryset_api.html#load-all I just missed it while checking documentation and wrote this crappy snippet!

- haystack
- SearchQuerySet
alientag
Renders enclosing contents as it is. Useful to avoid tags conflict with certain javascript libraries (eg. jquery-tmpl.js, mustache.js) Example usage: `<script class="content-tmpl" type="text/x-jquery-tmpl">` `{% alien %}` `{{ tmpl(results) "#results .item-tmpl" }}` `{% endalien %}` `</script>`

Chainable custom query manager for randomize.
This manager is based on the economical method of randomization. It usable in related models. For support this behavior required to be defined as default manger.

- related-models
- randomize
- custom-manager
SelectRelatedManager
Because select_related() only works on ForeignKeys that are not null or blank, when you are customizing the admin, even if you set "list_select_related=True" you can still end up with way too many querys in the Admin changelist. By adding this code to your model you can decrease the queries dramatically. I found I needed this when I was working with Django apps with a lot of legacy data and I couldn't set the ForeignKey null=False.
