An HttpResponse for giving the user a file download, taking advantage of X-Sendfile if it's available, using FileWrapper if not. Usage: HttpResponseSendfile('/path/to/file.ext') To bypass the fallback: HttpResponseSendfile('/path/to/file.ext', fallback=False) This has been tested working with Lighttpd 1.4.28's mod_fastcgi.
This is a decorator which will gets Django to try the cache before computing the result of a function. It automatically builds the cache key as a hash of the function name and inputs, and allows you to set whatever timeout you want.
Based on [#2020](http://djangosnippets.org/snippets/2020/) This snippet creates a simple generic export to csv action that you can specify the fields you want exported and the labels used in the header row for each field. It expands on #2020 by using list comprehensions instead of sets so that you also control the order of the fields as well.
Function and usage in views and template with django-paypal to have encrypted paypal buttons with a cart(adding multiple elements). All credits go to Jon Atkinson, http://jonatkinson.co.uk/paypal-encrypted-buttons-django/ I just added it here with a complete implementation using a cart(his example didnt include it). I know there is some redundancy in the data passed to the dict and the submit form, i'm just not sure what can i take out, the paypal docs are not clear about it, if you test this code without some of the data and it works, please tell me. The key parts are the cmd _s-xclick and again the cmd '_cart' both are needed.
This is a modified version of the (http://djangosnippets.org/snippets/73/) paginator snippet. It works with the django paginator.
Based on [#1879](http://djangosnippets.org/snippets/1879/) and [#2356](http://djangosnippets.org/snippets/2356/) Works in Django 1.3 Hopefully it's generic enough to implement a compact (sparse) version of whatever custom filter you need.
Small function that i use to save files to an imagefield, the file can be either an url or a file. This function has the following requirements. import requests from django.core.files import File from django.core.files.temp import NamedTemporaryFile from django.conf import settings Get the awesome requests library: pip install requests This function uses MEDIA_ROOT to know the location of the static dir, you can change that chaging the static_dir variable.
On our site [Fornebuklinikken - A cosmetic surgeon in Norway](http://www.fornebuklinikken.no) we also have a domain [http://fornebuklinikken.com](http://www.fornebuklinikken.no) which should be using the 'en' language. We didn't wan't to use the standard locale lib, and wrote our own middleware which lookups the correct language corresponding to the domain (.no or .com) Any questions?

These snippets together give you the ability to view all Django SQL queries executed across all incoming requests by visiting a particular URL (`/profiling` in the example). This is useful when developing with the Django test server. This is useful if most of the incoming requests are AJAX requests, because in such cases the debug toolbar will not be able to show which queries got executed. The `SqlProfilingMiddleware` class is the key one. At the end of every incoming request it appends the executed SQL queries to a static class member list. Any information request profiling information can be added in this way. The snippet does not add any security around viewing such information. This was done just to keep the code simple. But when implementing this you will definitely want to restrict access to this URL to only people allowed to view such information.
Staff can log in as a user, from a url to help with customer support or debugging.
I needed a way to find if a menu items should be active. After searching the internet i found a few options*, but none of them did fit my needs, so i wrote my own: Usage: <a href="{% url 'view-name' %}" class="{% current request 'view-name' %}"></a> * http://gnuvince.wordpress.com/2008/03/19/the-new-and-improved-active-tag/ * http://stackoverflow.com/questions/340888/navigation-in-django
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.
This widget renders choices as submit buttons. This may be a better choice than radio buttons + submit sometimes
