RecaptchaForm

There already is a [snippet on here](http://www.djangosnippets.org/snippets/433/) that shows how to use reCAPTCHA with Django, but being the lazya-- that I am, I wanted the form to: * display the captcha when as_table is used * handle captcha validation for me So RecaptchaForm does the trick. Just subclass from it and voila, your form will include reCAPTCHA validation. Other than that, you need to * be on Django trunk version (or use clean_data instead of cleaned_data for 0.96) * set RECAPTCHA_PRIVATE_KEY and RECAPTCHA_PUBLIC_KEY in your settings.py * make sure that the [captcha module](http://pypi.python.org/pypi/recaptcha-client) is available somewhere (i.e. that "import captcha" works)

Model manager with row caching

RowCacheManager is a model manager that will try to fetch any 'get' (i.e., single-row) requests from the cache. ModelWithCaching is an abstract base model that does some extra work that you'll probably want if you're using the RowCacheManager. So to use this code, you just need to do two things: First, set objects=RowCacheManager() in your model definition, then inherit from ModelWithCaching if you want the invalidation for free. If you are unusually brave, use the metaclass for ModelWithCaching and you won't even need the "objects=RowCacheManager()" line.

Pygmentation

Usage: (if you save it as pigmentation.py as I did) {% load pigmentation %} {% autoescape off %} {{ somevariable|pygmentize }} {% endautoescape %} There already a few of this code around, but this one is pretty clean, and includes css. It also works in both the development server and Dreamhost (python2.4 in my django config) without any unicode problems.

Export Models

Warning: This python script is designed for Django 0.96. It exports data from models quite like the `dumpdata` command, and throws the data to the standard output. It fixes glitches with unicode/ascii characters. It looked like the 0.96 handles very badly unicode characters, unless you specify an argument that is not available via the command line. The simple usage is: $ python export_models.py -a <application1> [application2, application3...] As a plus, it allows you to export only one or several models inside your application, and not all of them: $ python export_models.py application1.MyModelStuff application1.MyOtherModel Of course, you can specify the output format (serializer) with the -f (--format) option. $ python export_models.py --format=xml application1.MyModel

Custom DateField To Handle Credit Card Exp Date. Format: MM/YY

As users would login to their accounts to update their CC info, the expiration date always threw them off. The default format for displaying a datetime.date object is >YYYY-MM-DD Obviously the expiration date on your credit card uses the MM/YY format. I finally got around to creating a custom field/widget to handle this particular piece of data. Use like so... class CustomerForm(forms.ModelForm): cc_exp = DateFieldCCEXP() class Meta: model = Customer

WithTag Tag

Set a context variable with the returned value by any templatetag. Useful for example in order to use url templatetag inside blocktrans: ` {% withtag url my_app.views.my_view as my_view_url %}` ` {% blocktrans %}` ` Click <a href="{{ my_view_url }}">here</a>` ` {% endblocktrans %}` ` {% endwithtab %}` Or with include templatetag: ` {% withtag include "js_template.js" as js_template %}` ` {{ js_template }}` ` {% endwithtab %}` It works properly with your own custom templatetags.

Template tag for compressed CSS & JS (GAE version)

Extension of the idea from [WuzHere example from Google IO](http://code.google.com/p/wuzhere/) about creating one compressed js or css file. Original code used not very elegant if statements. I've changed it to template tags. On production server it will also use current version id. Insert code in *cssjs.py* file in *templatetags* dir in your application and use as below (more details in docs): `<script type="text/javascript" src="/media/jsmergefile.js"></script>` **This code does not compress CSS and JS on the fly, because GAE is read-only and using Datastore is too heavy.**
