Gravatar support in model save override
Overridden save() method that adds Gravatar support for a user with a profile photo field (and presumably an email field). Checks to see if user has provided a photo. If not, then query Gravatar for a possible photo. Finally, if Gravatar does not have an appropriate photo for this user, then use whatever default photo is available (in this case, 'users/photos/default_profile_photo.png'... change as necessary).

Forms splitted in fieldsets
This template tag build a Form splitted in fieldsets. The fieldsets are configured with a second parameter, that is a tuple like the one used in the Admin class in models in the attribute "fields". You pass to the template the form and the tuple and than use them as parameters for the templatetag. You can take a look at the source and modify It to build forms the way you like. It is very useful If you do not like the way Django build forms with the methods as_p, as_ul or as_table and also do not like to write html by hand.

Load File From URL Widget
Rather simple usage, modelforms/in the admin: class CustomAdminForm(forms.ModelForm): class Meta: model = Something widgets = { 'image': URLFileInput(default_exts=[".png", ".gif", ".jpg"]), } class SomethingAdmin(admin.ModelAdmin): form = CustomAdminForm admin.site.register(Something, SomethingAdmin) Basically, this will pull the image from the URL instead of only pulling it from your harddrive for upload. Also accepts optional default_exts argument which limits the file types. Defaults to images.

decorator to add GUID Field to Django Models
A decorator to add a GUID Field to a Django Model. There are other bits of code out there that do similar things, but it was important for the field to have a unique value _before_ it is saved in the database. The contribute_to_class method therefore registers the field class with the post_init signal of the class it's being added to. The handler for that signal is where field initialization is done.

Generic csv export admin action
A generic admin action to export selected objects as csv file. The csv file contains a first line with header information build from the models field names followed by the actual data rows. Access is limited to staff users. Requires django-1.1. **Usage:** Add the code to your project, e.g. a file called actions.py in the project root. Register the action in your apps admin.py: from myproject.actions import export_as_csv class MyAdmin(admin.ModelAdmin): actions = [export_as_csv]

AjaxForm Base Classes
These base form classes add a method to return error messages as HTML encoded as JSON from Django, optionally passing in an argument to strip tags out. The method can be called in your view after checking that your form is valid. There is a ModelForm and Form class to use depending on your needs. The sample jQuery function will take the errors returned as json, loop over the errors and insert the error after each field. If you're using a form prefix, you'll need to add a hidden field to hold the value for the prefix. The `__all__` error(s), which are not bound to a field are appended to the end of the form, which you could easily reposition. Happy coding!

Read settings from local_settings.py
Each installation of our Django site has slightly different settings -- namely, which database to use. Developers can provide a `local_settings.py` file which lets them override (or, just as usefully, extend) settings that are in `settings.py`. Subversion is told to ignore `local_settings.py`, so it's never checked in. If `local_settings.py` is missing, the site refuses to work. We include a `local_settings_example.py` file so that new developers can get started more quickly.

Disable ordering in the admin for a model
Django admin orders models by their primary key by default, which can be undesirable on very large tables. This shows how to disable any ordering on a model. Note that this behavior is fixed in 1.4 trunk.
