FCKWidget for NewForms
This is a simple FCK editor widget that can be used in newforms in place of Textarea. Obviously it requires [FCKeditor](http://www.fckeditor.net/) and you will need to set the proper import path for that.

Export Database and Media_Root via Admin Interface
This is the view-code to export a database-dump (hardcoded for mysql) or a media_root dump via the admin interface. just add 2 urls patterns to call the views and a small template with a simple form to send a http-post to the views. Note: The downloads are sort of streaming. I have successfully exportet a 2GB media_root as tar-ball without major increase of ram-usage of the django-process.

AjaxCheckMiddleware
Simply adds an attribute `is_ajax` to a request object, indicating if the request was made via Ajax. Allows you to reuse a lot of POST processing view code to which you'd like to progressively add Ajax: `if request.is_ajax: return JsonResponse(some_json)` `else: return render_to_response('some_template.html')`

Make anything into a template
This is a quick and dirty way to reuse the Django templating system for your own ends. Just pop in the familiar Django template syntax into whatever content you like and any chunk of content can be a template. This is great if you need to wrap data in HTML (as in for a mass email). The best part about this is that your "template" can now be stored in a database, instead of just in the file system.

Convert Unicode to ASCII
Unicode is great, but there are places where the conversion ends up with unintelligible characters. I first noticed this with curly quotes entered in forms on our site. `unicode_to_ascii` converts compound characters to close approximations in ASCII: such as umlaut-u to u, 1/2 (fraction glyph) to 1/2. You can add additional mappings in CHAR_REPLACEMENTS.

Tagging System
This is my personal tagging system that I have created. It is intended to be used for multiple applications. This tagging system also has a build in tag cloud that will generate based on the most frequently used tags that you have used or based on the number of clicks users have clicked on a particular tag.

Non model specific CSV export of database content
When given a model this utility method will export all data in that model to a CSV file. I use this method to place an "Export" button on a particular model's change list page in the Django administrator.

Recurse template tag for Django
[Original and further information available from here.](http://www.undefinedfire.com/articles/recursion-in-django-templates/) **v1.1 Update (20/04/08):** Added the ability to recurse single elements as well as automatic skipping of empty elements. Most of the tags are self explanatory, the only one that may cause confusion is the main `{% recurse %}` one. The format for this tag is `{% recurse [children] with [parent] as [child] %}` where “[children]” is the property that contains the children of the current element, “[parent]” is your starting element and “[child]” is the variable named used in the loop. Example usage: {% load recurse %} ... Headers and stuff ... {% recurse category.category_set.all with categories as category %} <ul> {% loop %} <li> <h{{ level }}>{{ category.title }}</h{{ level }}> {% child %} </li> {% endloop %} </ul> {% endrecurse %} ... The rest of the page ...

Twitter status tag
Requires the twitter module (easy_install python_twitter). Your project settings file should define TWITTER_USERNAME. Call the tag like: ` {% get_twitter_status as tweet tweet_time tweet_url %} <p><q cite="{{ tweet_url }}">{{ tweet }}</q> ({{ tweet_time }})</p> ` **EDIT**: I've also included an alternative method as suggested in the comments. Called with: ` {% get_twitter_status as tweet %} <p><q cite="{{ tweet.url }}">{{ tweet.status }}</q> ({{ tweet.time }})</p> `

XFN Form Field
**This is a newforms field for XFN relationships.** It normalizes input by removing excess whitespace, converting to lowercase and removing duplicates. This field also validates the relationship according to the [XFN profile](http://gmpg.org/xfn/11): `me` can only appear by itself and, at most, one value from each of the family, friendship and geographical categories is allowed. The `XFN_*` constants would probably be imported from somewhere else in practice, but are included here for simplicity.
