This get_sorted_items tag takes app.model, a number n, a a field name to sort ,and a variable-name as arguments and will deliver the n first objects of the model. it checks if a Manager *publicmgr* exists and calls this if the user isn't authenticated. Additionally it write the count of the model to the context
Shows field value as plain text which can't be edited by user. Field value (or key value for foreign keys) is stored in hiddden input. Value of field is stored in hidden input and current value is placed as plain text. User can't change it's value. If field is foreign key then additional attribute 'key' should be set to True (key is stored in hidden field and unicode value is visible): self.fields['my_field'].widget = HiddenInputWithText(attrs={ 'key' : True }) There is one condition: for foreign key field its name have to be same as lowercased model name. Default 'key' value - False is correct for non-foreign key fields: self.fields['my_field'].widget = HiddenInputWithText()
A basic templatetag to make it easier to insert ShrinkTheWeb images into templates.
This decorator is to make it's decorated function to commit the transaction on success (rollback otherwise) unless the transactions are being already managed.
This is simple validation weather a string is close enough to what we want. First param is keyword we are comparing to Second is user's input and third is tolerance level. Its very rudimentary. I have my mind fixed upon some imperfections. I am trying to make it good for human like(crazy keyboard) error.
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.
Modifies CharField so that it's value is stripped before cleaning. Put before your forms class or somewhere higher (urls, models).
gets the value from request and returns it's boolean state
Many of my projects heavily depend on other non-django projects to create the databases. To simplify setting up a test environment, I modified the simple test runner so that it will treat all models as managed. This will also allow for easier test set up against models that point to views. You can directly populate the view with the specific data needed for the tests, instead of populating (potentially) several models.
This might be a bit cludgy. But the idea is to extend model definition with mixins that can help with defining standard views. So defining a new model as inheriting from Model and All, would allow automatic definition of /get /post type accessors.
Complex of tags and filters for easy replacement of text with alternative font faces. For browsers, who doesn`t support it by themselves. Templatetag code and documentation at [GitHub of django-headline](http://github.com/SkAZi/django-headline).
A number of people have kindly posted snippets on how to use pdb/ipdb with django. However, this only works when running the django development server. I thought it would be nice to have a trace() command that would turn into a no-op when the development server is not running, so you wouldn't have to worry about leaving trace() commands in your code if you want to quickly test with mod_wsgi or mod_python. The code above attempts (on Posix-like systems) to determine if the development server is running (by quickly checking if "manage.py runserver" is in the process list), and sets a DJANGO_SERVER setting appropriately. Then when you import the trace() method, it is defined as set_trace() if DJANGO_SERVER is True, or a no-op if DJANGO_SERVER is False. When you hit the trace() in pdb/ipdb, enter "u" to go up to the calling trace() statement.
If you have another application in the same Apache virtual host and also want to use the authentication from Django - this might help. It uses the Django cookie - so it will not work in another Apache virtual host.
Is an updated way of splitting contents for a token, it does the split, but fixes the list.. EX: From a tag call like this: {% partial "partials/template.html" %} usually you get: ['partial','"partials/template.html"'] notice the " double quotes fixes it with: ['partial','partials/template.html'] takes out the " quotes
A quick and dirty hack for composite indexing if you need it. Drop this into a models.py or some other place where it'll be loaded along with the rest of Django on start up. Then add an _index_together tuple specifying the fields you want a composite index on.
