browscap.ini-parser

Sometimes you need to know if a visitor is a bot or if the browser supports certain features or if it is a mobile device. The easiest way to do so would be to lookup the user agent in a capabilities database. Fortunately there is already such a database called browscap.ini which is widely known among PHP users. I found the file accidently on my harddrive because it is also used by Mono: /etc/mono/browscap.ini Read http://browsers.garykeith.com/index.asp for more information. Before importing the module you need to call the script from commandline to retrieve the browscap.ini file. Look at the test function to see how to use it. You can also create a file called "bupdate.ini" which can contain fixes for wrong or incomplete entries, e.g: [Konqueror] javaapplets=True

Auth decorators with 403

These decorators are based on user_passes_test and permission_required, but when a user is logged in and fails the test, it will render a 403 error instead of redirecting to login - only anonymous users will be asked to login.

  • user_passes_test
  • 403

RequestStack middleware

This is some very simple middleware that keeps track of the last 3 succesful requests for each visitor. This can be useful if you want to redirect the visitor to a previous path without relying on a hidden field in a form, or if you simply want to check if a visitor has recently visited a certain path. Note that this relies on the session framework and visitors actually accepting cookies. This can be easily modified to hold more requests if you have a need for it.

Referer-checking view decorators

Here are a couple of Django decorators for limiting access to a view based on the request's `HTTP_REFERER`. Both raise a Django `PermissionDenied` exception if the referer test fails (or a referer simply isn't provided). The first, `referer_matches_hostname`, takes a hostname (and port, if specified) and matches it against the referer's. If multiple arguments are supplied a match against any of the hostnames will be considered valid. The second, `referer_matches_re`, takes a regex pattern (like Django's urlpattern) and tests if it matches the referer. This is obviously more flexible than `referer_matches_hostname` providing the ability to match not just the hostname, but any part of the referer url. Finally there's an simple example decorator, `local_referer_only`, that limits a view to the current site by using Django's `django.contrib.sites` to look up the current hostname.

Import mail into a Django model

A mildly crufty script to slurp mail from an mbox into a Django model. I use a variant of this script to pull the contents of my scammy-spam mbox into the database displayed at <http://purportal.com/spam/>

MediaWiki Markup

This is a copy paste job of mediawiki's syntax parser built in Python. You'll probably have to edit it to fit your needs MediaWiki-style markup parse(text) -- returns safe-html from wiki markup code based off of mediawiki

TestCase helpers

I use these helper methods in my unit tests. They turn many simple getting-and-posting tests into one-liners. Definitely a work in progress, and I can't be the only person who has done this sort of thing -- comments are more than welcome.

apache authentication via cookies

Enables cookie based authentication with apache. I needed user authentication for some static files, but couldn't use the method described [here](http://www.djangoproject.com/documentation/apache_auth/) as this prompts the user for his credentials, making him log in twice. There is some overhead in the code, because it runs all request middleware components (only session and auth would be needed). All arguments described in the link above are supported. I use it like this in the apache config: <Location "/protected/location"> PythonPath "['/path/to/proj/'] + sys.path" PythonOption DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE myproj.settings PythonOption DjangoPermissionName '<permission.codename>' PythonAccessHandler my_proj.modpython #this should point to accesshandler SetHandler None </Location>

Using Pygments with reST

UPDATED: This now supports an argument for the initial header level. This is a modified version of `django.contrib.markup` that allows you to highlight code via [pygments](http://pygments.pocoo.org/). The code block can be used as: `Here's a paragraph, and a code example: .. code:: language *insert code here* continue with your normal document.` Setup: Insert the snippet into `mysite/templatetags/rest.py`, then add `mysite` to your installed apps in `settings.py`. In your template, `{% load rest %}` and `{{ mycontent|rest }}`.

Contact Form

A simple way to get started using newforms. Implement a contact form. Mine saves the data in a table and sends a dedicated mailbox the feedback as well. I added support for TinyMCE as described in the django wiki. http://code.djangoproject.com/wiki/CustomWidgetsTinyMCE?format=txt Anyway use this as a starting point for writing your own form handling.

CallTag - Just like include, but can pass parameters to it

I knew that template in myght template system can receive some parameters just like a function. And I also want to implement this function in django template. So I finish a rough one, the code is pasted here. It just like include, but in order to distinguish with "include" tag, I call it "call". So you can use it: {% call "some.html" %} This way just like include tag, and the advanced way: {% call "some.html" with "a" "b"|capfirst title="title1" %} {% call "some.html" with "c" "d" title="title2" %} So you can see, "call" tag can do like a python function, it can receive tuple parameters and key word parameters, just like the function: def func(*args, **kwargs):pass How to use it =============== test_call.html {% expr "limodou" as name %} {% call "test/test_sub.html" with "a"|capfirst "b" title="title1" %}<br/> {% call "test/test_sub.html" with "c" "d" title="title2" %} expr is also a custom tag written by me. It'll calculate a python expression and save to result to a variable. In this case, the variable it "name". test_sub.html {% for i in args %}{{ i }}{% endfor %} <h2>{{ title }}</h2> <p>{{ name }}</p> <h3>args</h3> {{ args }} <h3>kwargs</h3> {{ kwargs }} And you also can see, call tag will auto create args and kwargs context variables. I hope this will be some useful.

GeoDjango maps in admin TabularInlines

This snippet adds support for OSM maps for GeometryField in Admin TabularInlines. The one possible issue with this snippet is that the OSMGeoInlineForm has to know about the parent ModelAdmin which it does through the code `model_admin_instance = admin.sites.site._registry[self.parent_model]` which won't work if you don't use the default model admin to register the model admin. I'll try and come up with a work around and edit the snippet. Due to the need to mess around with inline style sheets and IE not playing ball with just copying the innerHTML I've settled on using the jQuery.Rule plugin which I've included here as the last version published on the site was incompatible with jQuery 1.4.2 and I found a pathced version online, I also had to modify it due to the Django admin using the compatibility mode of jQuery so there is no global jQuery variable it's django.jQuery instead. 1. Create an osmgeo_inline.py file in your app and copy the top code into it. 2. Create the template file in a directory called admin within a template directory for your app, the template file must be called osmgeo_tabular_inline.html, and copy the middle code into it. 3. Create the jquery rule plugin file in your media or admin-media js directory and copy the bottom code into it. Don't forget to change the OSMGeoInlineForm's class Media's js = ('.....',) to the correct path to the file if need be. 4. In your admin.py you can create inline models using OSMGeoTabularInline just as you would TabularInline. Examples all based on the following in models.py from django.contrib.gis.db import models class MyModel(models.Model): name = models.CharField(max_length=64) route = models.LineStringField(srid=settings.WGS_SRID) class MySubModel(models.Model): mymodel = models.ForeignKey(MyModel) name = models.CharField(max_length=64) location = models.PointField(srid=settings.WGS_SRID) Example 1 - basic usage (admin.py): from django.contrib.gis.admin import OSMGeoAdmin from myapp.osmgeo_inline import OSMGeoTabularInline from myapp.models import MyModel, MySubModel class MySubModelInline(OSMGeoTabularInline): model = MySubModel class MyModelAdmin(OSMGeoAdmin): inlines = [MySubModelInline] admin.site.register(MyModel, MyModelAdmin) Example 2 - overriding the default map widget params and setting the inline map's centre point to match the main models map centre (admin.py): from django.contrib.gis.admin import OSMGeoAdmin from myapp.osmgeo_inline import OSMGeoTabularInline from myapp.models import MyModel, MySubModel class MySubModelInline(OSMGeoTabularInline): model = MySubModel class MyModelAdmin(OSMGeoAdmin): inlines = [MySubModelInline] params = {'map_width: 200, 'map_height': 200] def get_formset(self, request, obj=None, **kwargs): centre = None if obj is not None: centre = obj.route.centroid.transform(900913, clone=True) self.params['default_lon'] = centre.coords[0] self.params['default_lat'] = centre.coords[1] self.params['default_zoom'] = 12 return super(TrailSubmissionInlineBase, self).get_formset(request, obj, **kwargs) admin.site.register(MyModel, MyModelAdmin) I've not looked at StackedInlines because I don't use them but all that would be needed is to add a class OSMGeoStackedInline(StackedInline) that was a copy of OSMGeoTabularInline but with a template based on the StackedInline template - the javascript code in var initMap = function(row) would probably have to be adapted though.

HTML Email with Inline Attachments (images)

This will allow you to attach HTML multipart emails (HTML/text) and use inline images. In my example, I'm attaching an image that's stored as an 'attachment' to an 'event.' The file name of the attachment is called "inline.jpg" and I'm referencing it in my HTML message. I'm also attaching a VCAL file (.ics) file that has some information about an associated event.
