Requires the M2Crypto module. See [http://sandbox.rulemaker.net/ngps/m2/howto.smime.html](http://sandbox.rulemaker.net/ngps/m2/howto.smime.html) for more information on using M2Crypto to create S/MIME email. This could also be adapted to allow signing, or sign+encrypt, but currently only encrypts. Use just like `EmailMessage`, except takes an extra parameter `cert`, which is the path to the recipient's public X.509 certificate.
If you have a relatively small finite number of categories (e.g. < 64), don't want to add a separate column for each one, and don't want to add an entire separate table and deal with joins, this field offers a simple solution. You initialize the field with a list of categories. The categories can be any Python object. When saving a set of categories, the field converts the set to a binary number based on the indices of the categories list you passed in. So if you pass in as your categories list [A,B,C,D] and set model.categories = [C,D], the integer stored in the database is 0b1100 (note that although the categories list has a left-to-right index, the binary number grows right-to-left). This means that if you change the order of your category list once you have data in the DB, you'll need to migrate the data over to the new format. Adding items to the list should be fine however. If you need to do filtering based on this field, you can use bitwise operators. Django currently (to my knowledge) doesn't support this natively, but most DBs have some bitwise operator support and you can use the extra function for now. For example, this query will select CheeseShop models that have the 'Gouda' in its cheeses field. `CheeseShop.objects.all().extra(where=['cheeses | %s = cheeses'], params=[CHEESES.index('Gouda')])`
Simple middleware+decorator to handle age verification. Modeled after `django.contrib.sessions.middleware` to add an attribute to `request.user` called `is_age_verified` with consideration to [snippet 1002](http://www.djangosnippets.org/snippets/1002/). Decorator modeled after `django.contrib.auth.decorators.login_required` Installation: Create `verify_age` URLconf in `urls.py` Create age verification page that URLconf points to Define `settings.VERIFY_AGE_URL` based on URLconf Add `age_verification.AgeVerificationMiddleware` to `MIDDLEWARE_CLASSES` Import both `age_verification_required` and `REDIRECT_FIELD_NAME` in `views.py` Implement `age_verification.AgeVerification.verify` somewhere to set session attribute on successful verification. Use `@age_verification_required` decorator for views requiring age verification Example urls.py: urlpatterns += patterns('mahalo.answers.views', ... url(r'^verify_age/?$', 'verify_age', name="verify_age"), ... Example settings.py: ... VERIFY_URL = '/verify_age/' ... MIDDLEWARE_CLASSES += ( ... 'django.contrib.sessions.middleware.SessionMiddleware', 'django.contrib.auth.middleware.AuthenticationMiddleware', 'myproject.contrib.middleware.age_verification.AgeVerificationMiddleware', ... Example views.py: from myproject.contrib.decorators import age_verification_required, REDIRECT_FIELD_NAME from myproject.contrib.middleware.age_verification import AgeVerification ... @age_verification_required def some_view(request): return render_to_response("index.html", {}) def verify_age(request): # project specific template_vars = default_template(request) # form was posted if request.POST.has_key("month") and request.POST.has_key("day") and \ request.POST.has_key("year"): # "verify" user av = AgeVerification(request.session) av.verify() if request.POST.has_key(REDIRECT_FIELD_NAME): return HttpResponseRedirect(request.POST[REDIRECT_FIELD_NAME]) else: return HttpResponseRedirect(reverse("root")) # no form posted, show it else: if request.GET.has_key(REDIRECT_FIELD_NAME): template_vars["next"] = request.GET[REDIRECT_FIELD_NAME] return render_to_response("verify_age.html", template_vars) These examples assume `age_verification.py` lives in `myproject/contrib/middleware/` and `decorators.py` lives in `myproject/contrib/`
A quick and dirty helper for model field `choices`. It's not perfect, but this is what I use.
Although many people have already posted cookieless session middlewares and related stuffs, but this one is just for only required views. You can use this as a view decorator like: @session_from_http_params @login_required def your_view(request): ... This is very useful for those who use SWFUpload. Flash has a bug with sending cookies properly, so SWFUpload offers an workaround -- session key as a POST parameter.
This snippet helps preserving query parameters such as page number when the view perform redirects. It does not support hooking templates and contexts currently.
When running the Django development server, this middleware causes all executed SQL queries to get printed out to the console. This is based on [Snippet 161](http://www.djangosnippets.org/snippets/161/). The big difference is that 161 logs by adding stuff to your response text, which isn't very convenient IMO.
This code uses oracle as an authentication back end. It creates a new connection to the db and attempts to login. If successful it will then create an upper case User account with _ORACLE appended to the username. My urls.py call: from django.conf.urls.defaults import * urlpatterns = patterns('', (r'^accounts/login/$', 'django.contrib.auth.views.login', {'template_name': 'login.html'}), ) My setting.py specific settings: AUTHENTICATION_BACKENDS = ( 'oracleauth.views.OracleAuthBackend', ) LOGIN_URL = '/accounts/login/' ORACLE_CONNECT = 'database-host:1521/database' DEBUG=True

When you call model.changed_columns() you get a dict of all changed values. When you call model.is_dirty() you get boolean whether or not the object has been changed since last save Based on an answer here:http://stackoverflow.com/questions/110803/dirty-fields-in-django but fixed and added is_dirty
A simple context_processor to include location info. Useful for permalinks, site name references, and navigation bars. For example: {% if location.path|match:"/$" %} class="current"{% endif %} See also my [match filter](/snippets/1686/).
A filter that re.matches a regex against a value. Useful for nav bars as follows: {% if location.path|match:"/$" %} class="current"{% endif %} For `location.path` see my [location context_processor](/snippets/1685/).
Ripped this out of a project I'm working on. The field renders as two <select> elements representing the two-level hierarchy organized events Facebook uses. Returns the id's Facebook wants.
Limit ManyToMany fields in forms. Hide the field, if only one item can be selected. e.g. For limit sites choices only to accessible sites. Also available via django-tools: http://code.google.com/p/django-tools/
When debugging/developing you want to be able to refresh your views every time you make a little change. But when in production mode you might want to cache these views because they contain long and resource hungry calculations or something. By putting this above "hack" in after importing `cache_page` you only cache the views in production mode.
