Shows the timesince to the user and then on mouseover it will display the exact time for allowing the user to see the exact time. Example: shows "about 1 day, 3 hours ago" and then changes on mouseover to read "at 3:05pm on Wednesday 22nd April 2009"
I sometimes find that larger forms need data associated with them, but it's a bit of a pain to retype it each time when I'm debugging. The DebugForm base class lets you specify sets of testing data that will be inserted into your form if your project is in debug mode, randomly chosen from the DEBUG_DATA dict.
If you have this as your base class for all unit tests you can do the following: class TestViews(BaseTestCase): def test_generated_stats(self): "test that certain stuff in the response" ...create some content for testing or use fixtures... response = self.client.get('/some/page/') # At this point response.content is a huge string filled with HTML tags and # "junk" that you don't need for testing the content thus making it difficult # to debug the generated HTML because it so huge. # So we can zoom in on the <div id="stats>...</div> node html = self._zoom_html(response.content, '#stats') # the variable 'html' will now be something like this: """ <div id="stats"> <p> <strong>2</strong> students<br/> <em>1</em> warning. </p> </div> """ # This makes it easier to debug the response and easier to test # against but the HTML might still be in the way so this would fail: self.assertTrue('2 students' in html) # will fail # To strip away all html use _strip_html() content = self._strip_html(html) # Now this will work self.assertTrue('2 students' in content) # will work It works for me and I find this very useful so I thought I'd share it.
This is a widget for date/time fields on **Geraldo Reports**. When you use Geraldo to write reports, date/time fields must be formatted using **get_value** lambda attribute, because ObjectValue doesn't know what mask you want to use. With this widget, you just copy it into a common use Python file, import into your reports file and use it replacing ObjectValue on elements for fields you must be formatted as date/time format. **Example:** from geraldo import Report, ReportBand, ObjectValue, landscape from utils.reports import DateTimeObjectValue class ReportPhoneList(Report): title = u'Phone List' page_size = landscape(A4) class band_detail(ReportBand): height = 0.5*cm elements = [ ObjectValue(attribute_name='id', top=0.1*cm), DateTimeObjectValue(attribute_name='birth_date', left=26.2*cm, top=0.1*cm, format='%m/%d/%Y'), ]
This template filter is meant to insert soft hyphens ([­ entities](http://www.cs.tut.fi/~jkorpela/shy.html)) in text whever it can. For this is relies on a **recent** checkout of the [PyHyphen](http://code.google.com/p/pyhyphen/) interface to the hyphen-2.3 C library, which is also used by Mozilla and OpenOffice.org. It takes two optional parameters: the language to hyphenate in and the minimum word length to consider for hyphenation. If no language is given, the default language from the settings file is used. The second parameter defaults to 5 characters. Usage example: {% load hyphenation %} {{ object.text|hyphenate:"nl-nl,6" }}
Based on [svetlyak](http://www.djangosnippets.org/users/svetlyak/)'s [nofollow filter](http://www.djangosnippets.org/snippets/312/). This one processes only external URL's. Links with internal URL's will be returned unmodified. There's one gotcha; I preferred to have false positives instead of false negatives. So, it will nofollow `href="some/relative/path/"` for example. If you must do relative paths do it like this: <a href="./some/relative/path">link text</a>
If you have JSON objects with `datetime` attributes that you want to decode to python [datetime](http://docs.python.org/library/datetime.html#datetime.datetime) objects, you can use `decode_datetime` as a [simplejson](http://simplejson.googlecode.com/svn/tags/simplejson-2.0.9/docs/index.html) object hook. `simplejson.loads(s, object_hook=decode_datetime)`.
If you want to do your own JSON serialization of [datetime](http://docs.python.org/library/datetime.html#datetime.datetime) objects instead of using DjangoJSONEncoder, use `simplejson.dumps(o, default=encode_datetime)`. The `encode_datetime` method will convert the datetime object to UTC and output an ISO format string just like the [isoutc template filter](http://www.djangosnippets.org/snippets/1424/).
While working on my website projects today I had the idea to use HTML/JS instead of a IP database to localize the dates and times shown on the websites. Here are the snippets to use the JS snippets as filters for Django running on Google App Engine. You can use those filters on datetime objects.
This snipped get the latest rss links from delicious from a DELICIOUS_USER that you have to define in your settings. I use this snippet in the [trespams code blog](http://trespams.com) to inform the visitor about the last links I have bookmarked. This is a modified version of [snipped 819](http://www.djangosnippets.org/snippets/819/) to allow using any variable in the template to obtain the results. It also added a 6 hours caché for the rss.
This is based on snippets 29 and 43, both of which had good ideas, and I thought, "why not combine them?" Given the new_topic string above, the resulting slug will be: "test-long-string-which-has-many-words-here" John Crawford Note - requires python 2.5, for list comprehensions. Otherwise you could just use a for loop to build the clean_list.
This snippet is used to create a script for monitoring sphinx status with Nagios via [django-sphinx](http://code.google.com/p/django-sphinx/). It returns 0 (OK) or 2 (CRITICAL). Remember to change this strings `ModelToMonitor` and `app_name`. Usage : `./manage your-controls-command --log` > /your/script/name.py
Variation on SplitDateTimeField that does not enforce the Time to be required, accepting a default instead.
Based on our [first version of soaplib service integration](http://www.djangosnippets.org/snippets/979/), this second one adds Basic Auth with credentials specified in settings. It can be tested with [django soaplib test cliente](http://www.djangosnippets.org/snippets/1406/)
This code *monkey patches* soaplib client to allow the usage of django test client for local web service testing (without a running server). It adds *basic* authentication.
