feedburner middleware
This middleware redirects the request for yoursite.com/feed/whatever/onefeed to your feedburner *onefeed* feed. Having ``FEEDBURNER = ('SomeName', ('blog', 'comments', 'tag1'))`` will use the feedburner feeds at http://feedproxy.google.com/SomeName/blog http://feedproxy.google.com/SomeName/comments http://feedproxy.google.com/SomeName/tag/tag1 you can add more tags, or even intersection and union of them the same way (thanks to piranha for the idea of a middleware) **Update:** now it works for tags as well

CSRF this!
A form with built-in CSRF protection. Include CsrfCookieMiddleware in your MIDDLEWARE_SETTINGS, subclass SafeForm and off you go. See: [this django-developers post](http://groups.google.com/group/django-developers/browse_thread/thread/2c33621003992d07?hl=en) for more info. [edit] This form is actually WAY overengineered currently. Will update soon.

Compact P3P policy header injection middleware
This is like snippet 786, except it does it at the middleware layer, so you don't have to reference it in every view. Super simple. refer to: http://www.djangosnippets.org/snippets/786/

Simple Signal to denormalize vote counts in django-voting
This attaches a signal to the save and delete signals for the Vote object and recalculates the score for the object and stores it in that object's vote_score attribute. This allows you to have a list of those objects and not have to calculate in the database the vote score for each object.

Photologue wiki-syntax templatetag
**updated 12/16/08** I run several blogs by visual-artists and web-designers who want a quick way to insert images into their blog without the awkwardness of WSYIWYG and without the technicality of code (eww...). Thanks in advance for your input. #Syntax in a blog goes: [[thumb:the-image-slug]] # Gives you a thumbnail [[image:the-image-slug]] # Presents full-size-image Then of course: {% blog.post|yeagowiki %} You will also need to create some templates (see snippet). Here's a sample: <!-- /templates/photologue/image_snippet.html --> <div class="photologue-image"> <a href="{% if url %}{{ url }}{% else %}/media/{{ image.image }}{% endif %}"> <img src="{{ image.get_display_url }}" /> </a> <p class="photologue-image-caption">{{ image.caption }}</p> </div>

Mod to allow simple_tag to access context
This is a mod I made to the Django simple_tag system to let the simple_tags access comments. I plan to try and get it integrated into the trunk, so it's mainly here so (a) the people on django-developers can see it, and (b) while I'm waiting, or if it doesn't get put in the trunk, people can use it. **Installing** 1. Open the module `django.template.__init__`, wherever that lives. 2. Scroll down to the beginning of " `class Library:` " 3. Find the simple_tag function (" `def simple_tag(self,func):` ") 4. Replace the function (even the whitespace before each line) with the code snippet. **Usage** 1. When defining a simple tag (see the [docs](http://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/howto/custom-template-tags/#shortcut-for-simple-tags) for more info), have the first parameter in your function be named "`context`". Otherwise, an error will be thrown. It can accept other parameters like normal. 2. Use `register.simple_tag(my_function_name, takes_context=True)` to register your function as one that will use the context. 3. The tag's function can access the context like a dictionary - to get a value, just use `context['cheese']`, or to set one, use `context['cheese'] = 'Limberger'`. Due to the context's mutability, this will affect the context in the main template as well. **Notes** This code hasn't been tested in a "production environment", but I did test my modifications thoroughly, and if you don't add `takes_context=True`, `simple_tag` will behave exactly as normal. Of course, if there is a problem, make sure you leave a comment. **Code** Since most of the code is hacked up from other Django library functions, and to prepare for if and when it's merged into the trunk, it's released under the BSD license.

Dynamic Backends
This allows various implementations of a common interface to be loaded. Back end modules can be specified in settings.py, and from there be loaded and treated polymorphically by an application.

Alternative to Captchas (Without Human Interaction)
This security field is based on the perception that spambots post data to forms in very short or very long regular intervals of time, where it takes reasonable time to fill in a form and to submit it for human beings. Instead of captcha images or Ajax-based security interaction, the SecurityField checks the time of rendering the form, and the time when it was submitted. If the interval is within the specific range (for example, from 5 seconds till 1 hour), then the submitter is considered as a human being. Otherwise the form doesn't validate. Usage example: class TestForm(forms.Form): prevent_spam = SecurityField() # ... other fields ... The concept works only for unbounded forms.

List all Form Errors
You can place this code above your form and it will list out all errors in your form if there are errors. Sometimes I like listing the errors at the top of the form because I think it looks cleaner. Make sure you add error_messages={'required': 'My detailed error here'} in your view.py for your form.

resize to thumbnail with scale-to-fill
**So you can upload rectangular pictures but still have square thumbnails.** "Scale to **fill**" instead of the out of the box "scale to **fit**" you get with `Image.thumbnail`

Add URL Segments to Templates
Add this code to you your context_processors.py in your project and then install it in your settings.py TEMPLATE_CONTEXT_PROCESSORS. In your template you can print out a segment of a url by using {{ segment_1 }}. For example if you're on the page "/mysite/section1/section2/" and you used {{ segment_2 }} it would print section1. This idea was taken from Expression Engines URL Segments, http://expressionengine.com/docs/templates/globals/url_segments.html. This comes in handy if you only want to do something in your template if the page your on has a particular segment. FYI, I haven't used this in a production setting yet so it could be buggy still.

Chain multiple querysets into one
This class acts as a wrapper around multiple querysets. Use it if you want to chain multiple QSs together without combining them with | or &. eg., to put title matches ahead of body matches: >>> qs1 = Event.objects.filter(## title matches ##) >>> qs2 = Event.objects.filter(## matches in other fields ##) >>> qs = MultiQuerySet(qs1, qs2) >>> len(qs) >>> paginator = Paginator(qs) >>> first_ten = qs[:10] It effectively acts as an immutable, sliceable QuerySet (with only a very limited subset of the QuerySet api)
