Adding buttons to submit line in a Admin page

**Attention: this snippet depends on jQuery library to works** The Admin templates hierarchy does not allow you change the submit line (that buttons bar in the footer of the change view of a model class). This code shows how to resolve this, using a simple javascript trick. You can read the code and implement using your favorite javascript library (instead of jQuery) or pure JavaScript. This example regards to User Profile, a common used model class that adds custom fields to a user in the authentication system. To use this, you must put this template code in a file with the following name: templates/admin/auth/user/change_form.html

decorator to add author to extra_fields in snippets 635

I had the need to add `request.user` to the `extra_fields` argument of quite a few of my view based on [create_update for newforms snippet](http://www.djangosnippets.org/snippets/635/). I could have wraped the `create_object` function in my views.py, but as the logic is always the same, it seemed like a good idea to Not Repeat Myself.

Admin change language

This snippet adds a select language drop down menu in the admin bar (just after Documentation link). For this approach it's necessary to copy from admin templates the admin/base.html to the project templates (keeping the admin directory), changing just line 25 ad shown. Then it's necessary to create specified admin/change_language.html template.

dynamic model graph

This view assumes you have downloaded [modelviz.py](http://django-command-extensions.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/extensions/management/modelviz.py) and placed it in a python module called utils within my_project. You also must have graphviz installed and a subprocess-capable python. From there you can feed it a URL query list of the options you want to pass to generate_dot, and it will dynamically draw png or svg images of your model relationships right in the browser. All it wants is a nice form template for graphically selecting models. Most of this code and the main idea thereof was shamelessly plagiarized from [someone else](http://gundy.org/). Examples: `http://localhost:8000/model_graph/?image_type=svg&app_labels=my_app&include_models=Polls&include_models=Choices` `http://localhost:8000/model_graph/?image_type=png&all_applications&disable_fields&group_models`

AlphabeticFilterSpec

**WARNING: a better version of this snippet you can see at [http://www.djangosnippets.org/snippets/1051/](http://www.djangosnippets.org/snippets/1051/)** This filter spec is util only for who uses newforms-admin branch. To use this, you need to extend the class ModelAdmin for your model class, like the MyClassAdmin class in the code, with attention to the following lines: # Appends the filter cl.filter_specs.insert(0, AlphabeticFilterSpec(cl.lookup_opts.get_field('name'),request,cl.params,self.model,self))

DropDownMultiple widget

Observation: depends on jQuery to works! This widget works like other multiple select widgets, but it shows a drop down field for each choice user does, and aways let a blank choice at the end where the user can choose a new, etc. Example using it: class MyForm(forms.ModelForm): categories = forms.Field(widget=DropDownMultiple) def __init__(self, *args, **kwargs): self.base_fields['categories'].widget.choices = Category.objects.values_list('id', 'name') super(MyForm, self).__init__(*args, **kwargs)

Nested set abstraction for hierarchical data

The nested set abstraction is a very nice way to store hierarchical data, for example places, in a database. It provides an easy way to say that Melbourne is within Victoria, which is within Australia, etc.</p> The calls to addChild() are expensive, so this model is slow to build, and bad if you do frequent updates. If you're building a read-only model though, it's much faster than ForeignKey('self') for determining ancestor/descendent relationships.

Generating Taconite command documents

Hello, This is a port of a php class used to generate XML taconite command documents, useful for (very) easy and powerful ajaxy stuff, if you don't know what that is just check it there in french : http://www.desfrenes.com/playground/taconite/ or there in english : http://www.malsup.com/jquery/taconite/.

Block IP addresses

I needed a quick and dirty way to block a user from my site. Just include this middleware class under the 'MIDDLEWARE_CLASSES' variable in your settings.py file. Also include the variable BLOCKED_IPS = ('123.123.123.123',) variable, where the value is a tuple of IP addresses you want blocked from your site.
