Advanced Search in django admin

This is an example on how to create a custom advanced search (like the google advanced search page) in the admin app instead of the basic search field. you need to override 2 template of the admin so in your templates/admin folder copy the html files from the original admin app as follow: change_list.html: add the name of the module of the templatetag at the top where there is the load command from: {% load adminmedia admin_list i18n %} to: {% load adminmedia admin_list custom_search_form i18n %} and on line 87 (circa) you need to load our custom template tag something like: {% block search %}{% advanced_search_form cl %}{% endblock %} search_form.html: put your form inside the <form> tags with {{asf}} should be enough (I have also removed cl.value from the input text field because would be to complex to reload form values too ) probably would be better to create 2 new clean template and extend them but I'll leave that as an exercise for the reader :) many thanks to [Peter Baumgartner to get me in the right direction after his post](http://lincolnloop.com/blog/2011/jan/11/custom-filters-django-admin/) Currently ordering in the admin panel doesn't work if you find a way to get it work please write a comment

View response's content in a browser while testing

I often insert `pdb.set_trace()` in my test cases to debug and examine behavior. When tests fail with assertions like `assertContains(response, 'Some text')`, it would be useful to see the response's contents in a browser window. This snippet does just that. Simply put this code in a python script on your `PYTHONPATH` and import/call the function when the debugger starts. Only tested on Ubuntu and you might want to change `URL_OPENER` to whatever you want to open the URLs. Simple, but hopefully useful.

Fuzzy testing with assertNumQueries

Django 1.3 has an assertNumQueries method which will allows you to simply specify the number of queries you expect. Sometimes, however, specifying the exact number of queries is overkill, and makes the test too brittle. This code provides a way to make more forgiving tests. See http://lukeplant.me.uk/blog/posts/fuzzy-testing-with-assertnumqueries/

Campo para Validar CPF ou CNPJ Brasileiro

I basically mixed both BRCPFField and BRCNPJField to create a widget that validates either an CPF or an CNPJ. The doc strings are not localized. So you probably have to hardcode it yourself.

Memento

This class tracks changes in Django Admin. When a save action is performed, it stores the value of the old object using the Memento model. Example of code for a model in **admin.py** for a custom 'app': from app.memento.models import Memento def save_model(self, request, obj, form, change): obj.save() data = serializers.serialize("json", [obj, ]) m = Memento(app="Unidade",model=modelName,data=data, user=request.user) m.save() class UnidadeAdmin(admin.ModelAdmin): pass UnidadeAdmin.save_model = save_model This stores the former values of 'Unidade' model on 'Memento' model data. Not tested on previous versions of Django, but could work on them too.

post_migrate handler to load initial SQL after migrating with south

I found that South doesn't execute initial sql file after a migration, like what Django can do after syncdb. So here's the workaround by using post_migrate signal. Usage: Put your SQL files the same way as you would if you were to use Django to load your initial SQL file (follow Django doc). The only difference is that, the SQL filename needs to in this format: <app_label>.sql OR <app_label>.<backend>.sql This is done this way since the migration is run per app.

Automatic CRUD urls from your models...

Just extends your models from this One... is abstract so, it will not generate a table. Now, in your urls.py do this: from django.conf.urls.defaults import * from animals.models import Dog, Cat, Bird urlpatterns = patterns('animals.views', url(r'^$', 'index', {},Dog._meta.app_label), ) dog=Dog() cat=Cat() bird=Bird() urlpatterns+=dog.build_generic_CRUD_urls(Dog) urlpatterns+=cat.build_generic_CRUD_urls(Cat) urlpatterns+=bird.build_generic_CRUD_urls(Bird) then you can create the templates, and get the urls like this: {{ object.get_absolute_url }} View {{ object.get_update_url }} Edit {{ object.get_delete_url }} Delete {{ dummy_object.get_create_url }} Create dummy_object is a quick and dirty solution until I find some better... With all these you can create 54 functional and low detail CRUDS in one hour. :D Enjoy!
