This snippet allows to create user in django auth system without logging in. After this user logs in via Facebook account social user is created and bound to existing user.
A drop-in module to allow for full-text searchable models with very little effort. Tested with PostgreSQL 8.3, but should work on earlier versions with the tsearch2 module installed.
Template filter to format a number so that it's thousands are separated by commas. {{ number|format_thousands }}
Takes a float number (23.456) and uses the decimal.quantize to round it to a fixed exponent. This allows you to specify the exponent precision, along with the rounding method. And is perfect for monetary formatting taking into account precision.
there have been many posts on running django on tornado with static media served by nginx. But for dumb people like me, the whole thing needs to be spelt out. So here is how I succeeded in serving django from a virtual host using nginx and tornado. The key thing to note is that 'root' refers to the **parent** directory of the root and not the full path. Also remember to put in ':' as a line end. Procedure - start the tornado server with the python script on localhost:8888, start nginx. Relax and enjoy your django at the speed of light. Nginx can be got by apt-get or yum, but you need the latest git clone of Tornado - the default tarball does not support django. btw, this install is for FC11 on my laptop - I have done it in production on lenny.
run django project with Tornado Web server :)
Generic class view to abstract out the task of serving up files from within Django. Recommended usage is to combine it with SingleObjectMixin and extend certain methods based on your particular use case. Example usage class Snippet(models.Model): name = models.CharField(max_length = 100) slug = SlugField() code = models.TextField() from django.views.generic.detail import SingleObjectMixin class DownloadSnippetView(SingleObjectMixin, DownloadView): model = Snippet use_xsendfile = False mimetype = 'application/python' def get_contents(self): return self.get_object().code def get_filename(self): return self.get_object().slug + '.py' '''
A template filter to make proper nouns posessive. If `context_var` was 'skarphace': {{ context_var|s }} Would be: skarphace's
This function mangles a generated form class to remove the Hold down "Control", or "Command"... messages from the help text. This is really a dirty hack awaiting a proper solution to [Django ticket 9321](http://code.djangoproject.com/ticket/9321). This function can be useful for forms in the admin interface that use custom widgets. Basic usage: class MyModelForm(forms.ModelForm): class Meta: model = MyModel class MyAdmin(admin.ModelAdmin): form = remove_holddown(MyModelForm, ('field1', 'field2'))
if_installed checks to see if the app is in installed apps. If it is not then it excludes it from being resolved in the url structure. In this example, myapp.urls will not be imported if myapp is not installed
Just put it in your python path and add it into MIDDLEWARE_CLASSES. I know that there are a couple of snippets on this site that do something similar to this, but none of them quite suited me. I wanted something that would indent and space the SQL so that I could differentiate it from the other output from the development server. Also, I wanted something that would output total query execution time, which my solution does. I just hope that it's useful for someone else, too! UPDATE: Now this should no longer get upset when running it on windows.
Because select_related() only works on ForeignKeys that are not null or blank, when you are customizing the admin, even if you set "list_select_related=True" you can still end up with way too many querys in the Admin changelist. By adding this code to your model you can decrease the queries dramatically. I found I needed this when I was working with Django apps with a lot of legacy data and I couldn't set the ForeignKey null=False.
This templatetag was inspired by: [Admin App/Model Custom Ordering](http://djangosnippets.org/snippets/1939/). I rewrote it from scratch because it wasn't working on my install.
AdminImageWidget and AdminImageMixin to use easy_thumbnails in admin site forms for models with ImageField field.
[The Django Admin Action documentation leads you through exporting a queryset to JSON](http://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/ref/contrib/admin/actions/#actions-that-provide-intermediate-pages). However exporting from a single model rarely tells the whole story. Using the CollectObjects class, `export_related_as_json` gathers all instances related by foreign keys to what is being exported and exports them as well in a serialization bonanza. Use it to export Users and you'll get their Profile objects as well! **Usage** # admin.py from django.contrib import admin admin.site.add_action(export_related_as_json)
