Snippet List
SQL Log To Console Middleware
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.

Append paramaters to a GET querystring (template tag)
This tag is designed to facilitate pagination in the case where both the page number and other parameters (eg. search criteria) are passed via GET. It takes one argument - a dictionary of GET variables to be added to the current url Example usage: {% for page_num in results.paginator.page_range %} <a href="{% append_to_get p=page_num %}">{{ page_num }}</a> {% endfor %} Note that the passed arguments are evaluated within the template context.

TRAC-Ticket on exception
This is a small approach to have a middleware which automatically creates a ticket in an existing Trac environment. **Note:** you must have the [XML-RPC-Plugin](http://trac-hacks.org/wiki/XmlRpcPlugin) installed. Extend the attrs-dict to your needs. For example: in my case I have the SensitiveTicket-Plugin installed - automatically created tickets are marked as sensitive and are not visible to the public.

invalidation of cache-template-tag cache
this function invalidates a template-fragment cache bit. say you have: {% load cache %} {% cache 600 user_cache user.id %} something expensive here {% endcache %} maybe you want to force an update. With this function you can, just call: invalidate_template_cache("user_cache", user.id)

CountryField (ISO 3166-1)
List of countries based on the ISO 3166-1 standard. List adapated from http://opencountrycodes.appspot.com/python/ This is useful for certain services such as Protx that requires countries in the two letter standard.

twitterize filter
This filter links twitter user names prefixed with '@', hash tags, and URLs. Usage example: `{{var|twitterize}}` Note: Do not use this in conjunction with the urlize filter. Twitterize does this for you.

Debug view: show available named URL patterns
Hook the show_url_patterns view function in to your URLconf to get a page which simply lists all of the named URL patterns in your system - useful for if your template developers need a quick reference as to what patterns they can use in the {% url %} tag.

Queryset Foreach
Call a function for each element in a queryset (actually, any list). Features: * stable memory usage (thanks to Django paginators) * progress indicators * wraps batches in transactions * can take managers or even models (e.g., `Assertion.objects`) * warns about `DEBUG`. * handles failures of single items without dying in general. * stable even if items are added or removed during processing (gets a list of ids at the start) Returns a `Status` object, with the following interesting attributes * `total`: number of items in the queryset * `num_successful`: count of successful items * `failed_ids`: list of ids of items that failed

SSL Decorator
Wrote this some time ago when I couldn't find one already completed. Came up in the IRC channel so I decided to post it. Easy enough to use. `from ssldecorator import ssl_required` `@ssl_required` `def your_view(request):` ` ''' your code here '''` You can place a variable in your settings.py to change the SSL domain (ie, if you have SSL running on secure.yourdomain.com instead of www.yourdomain.com).. `SSL_DOMAIN = 'https://secure.yourdomain.com'` Note: please include a proper URL. If https isn't used, the decorator will add it.

Fuzzy Date Diff Template Filter
Pass in a date and you get a humanized fuzzy date diff; e.g. "2 weeks ago" or "in 5 months". The date you pass in can be in the past or future (or even the present, for that matter). The result is rounded, so a date 45 days ago will be "2 months ago", and a date 400 days from now will be "in 1 year". Usage: * `{{ my_date|date_diff }}` will give you a date_diff between `my_date` and `datetime.date.today()` * `{{ my_date|date_diff:another_date }}` will give you a date_diff between `my_date` and `another_date` Make sure to install this as a template tag and call `{% load date_diff %}` in your template; see the [custom template tag docs](http://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/howto/custom-template-tags/) if you don't know how to do that.

inclusion tag with template as variable
Sometimes you need to write a tag that renders other template, but the template name depends on template tag arguments. Usually you use simple_tag or write your own Node class. Here is a simple aproach that uses inclusion_tag. This way you can use context objects when used with takes_context=True

general-purpose django XMLRC dispatcher
create an instance of this class: `rpcserver = XMLRPC()` then define handlers on it with the register decorator: @rpcserver.register("pingback.ping") def handle_pingback(sourceURI, targetURI) # ... de-serialization of the arguments and serialization of the return values is handled by the XMLRPC object, so just expect python built-in types as your arguments and use them as your return values. you can also raise instances of xmlrpclib.Fault from within your handlers and a proper xmlrpc fault will be sent out as the response. then you can use `rpcserver.view` in your urlconf to offer up your XML-RPC service at a URL: urlpatterns = patterns('', url(r'^$', rpcserver.view, name="xmlrpc"), # ... )

pycallgraph
Simple debug middleware that uses [pycallgraph](http://pycallgraph.slowchop.com) to get a visual representation of the call graph, including number of calls and execution times. Usage: 1. Replace *myapp* in the snippet with the name of your application and or adjust include and exclude according to your needs 2. Add CallgraphMiddleware to your middlewares in settings.py 3. Append ?prof to any URL in your application to trigger the callgraph creation Each callgraph cerated will be named callgraph-*timestamp*.png. This is because multiple callgraphs will be created when a re-direction occurs for example.
