This is a small approach to have a middleware which automatically creates a ticket in an existing Trac environment. **Note:** you must have the [XML-RPC-Plugin](http://trac-hacks.org/wiki/XmlRpcPlugin) installed. Extend the attrs-dict to your needs. For example: in my case I have the SensitiveTicket-Plugin installed - automatically created tickets are marked as sensitive and are not visible to the public.
This is the manifest for being able to start django daemons via django-admin. A sample instance ('signet') is included.
DateTimeWidget using [JSCal2](http://www.dynarch.com/projects/calendar/) Duplicate of [this snippet](http://www.djangosnippets.org/snippets/391/), but for latest 1.5 version of DHTML Calendar. Also here is **fixed problem of previous widget** linked to *form.changed_data* and *EntryLog.message*. This is fixed by adding own, little modified *_has_changed()* method
Custom serialization, the poor try to make something like [django full serializers](http://code.google.com/p/wadofstuff/wiki/DjangoFullSerializers) Usage: you need two files, goodjson.py and goodpython.py, for example, in the root of application named "core". Then, add two lines into your settings.py: SERIALIZATION_MODULES = {'goodjson' : 'core.goodjson', 'goodpython': 'core.goodpython'} This thing does only serialization, not deserialization. You were warned.
Ever wished you could have pretty SQL-like output for a python object (e.g., a list of dicts) while you're debugging your code? This function will do just that. Simply pass it an object that is an iterable of dictionaries and it returns it in an easy-to-read table, similar to the output of commandline SQL. Example: from tablelize import tableize from django.contrib.auth.models import User print(tableize(User.objects.values('email', 'first_name', 'last_name'))) +------------+-----------+-------------------+ | first_name | last_name | email | +------------+-----------+-------------------+ | Test | User | [email protected] | | Another | User | [email protected] | +------------+-----------+-------------------+
This is a very simple way of getting authenticated RSS feeds in django, by slightly changing the django.contrib.syndication.views 1) copy django/contrib/syndication/views.py into mysite/feeds/views.py 2) replace the contents of that file with the snippet 3) any feeds which you require login just add them to the auth_required list. In this case I require login for /feeds/mystuff/ so I make auth_required = ['mystuff'] My directory structure is like this: mysite/feeds/ views.py feedmodels.py feedmodels.py is just where you make your feed models (see http://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/ref/contrib/syndication/ where they give an example of "LatestEntries") [urls.py] - this is what I add in urls.py from mysite.feeds.feedmodels import Latest,MyPersonalStuff feeds = { 'latest':Latest, 'mystuff':MyPersonalStuff, } (r'^feeds/(?P<url>.*)/$', 'mysite.feeds.views.feed', {'feed_dict': feeds}), ###########################################################################
Simple Python snippet to detect if any word in a list of words is inside your string. Use for profanity checking (my use case), auto tag detection, scoring, etc. This will return an empty list if the word is not in the list. Assumes everything in words_to_find is lower case. Can probably be done cleaner with regular expressions but this method is extremely readable for those that prefer none regex solutions.
A confirm alert is displayed if the user has made any changes to the form, and attempts to navigate away from the page without saving (click the back button, hit reload, click the breadcrumbs, logout, etc). Much like GMail's "Your message has not been sent. Discard your message?" prompt. **Uses the JavaScript helpers built into Django**, without relying on 3rd party libs like jQuery. (There might be simpler options if you're already using [jQuery](http://code.google.com/p/protect-data/) or [prototype](http://stackoverflow.com/questions/925111/activating-onbeforeunload-only-when-field-values-have-changed/1013033#1013033)). To use this, simply create a [custom admin template](http://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/ref/contrib/admin/#overriding-admin-templates). For example at: *templates/admin/YOUR_APP_NAME/change_form.html* {% extends "admin/change_form.html" %} {% block after_related_objects %} {{ block.super}} <script type="text/javascript"> ... script goes here ... </script> {% endblock %}
On a busy site it can be nice to have a summary of admin activity. Running this command (I call it "adminlog") generates output like this: 2009-07-10 18:06:19: pbx changed flat page: "/yay/ -- Let's All Say Yay" By default it shows the last five actions; pass it a numerical arg to show more or fewer. Run this as a cron job and you can follow a site's admin-side activity without even logging in!
This is a rewrite of [snippet #1006](http://www.djangosnippets.org/snippets/1006/) to use the moderation features available in Django's comments framework. This is more customizable than the signals approach and works well if other moderation features are being used. If you want to make comments that are flagged as spam become hidden instead of deleted, change the allow() method to moderate(). [See the blog post here](http://sciyoshi.com/blog/2009/jul/17/prevent-django-newcomments-spam-akismet-reloaded/)
Serves serialized QuerySet or other list passed in data parameter as json content.
Modifies CharField so that it's value is stripped before cleaning. Put before your forms class or somewhere higher (urls, models).
TestableTemplate behaves just like django.template.Template, but you can give it a list of template.Libraries to load before parsing the template. This is equivalent to adding a bunch of {% load %} tags to the beginning of your template string, but you can use custom tag libraries which do not belong to Django applications' templatetags packages. This is occasionally useful in testing.
This is a ModelAdmin base class you can use to make foreign key references to User a bit nicer in admin. In addition to showing a user's username, it also shows their full name too (if they have one and it differs from the username). **2009-08-14**: updated to handle many to many fields and easily configure whether to always show the username (if it differs from full name)
Assumes mod_concat is installed: http://code.google.com/p/modconcat/ Django template tags that combine blocks of CSS and Javascript into modconcat friendly URLs. Takes this: `{% cssconcat "{{ MEDIA_URL }}css/" %} <link href="{{ MEDIA_URL }}css/a.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" /> <link href="{{ MEDIA_URL }}css/b.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" /> <link href="{{ MEDIA_URL }}css/c.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" /> {% endcssconcat %}` And outputs this: `<link href="/site_media/??a.css,b.css,c.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" /> ` Similarly for javascript: `{% jsconcat "{{ MEDIA_URL }}js/" %} <script src="{{ MEDIA_URL }}js/a.js" type="text/javascript"></script> <script src="{{ MEDIA_URL }}js/b.js" type="text/javascript"></script> <script src="{{ MEDIA_URL }}js/c.js" type="text/javascript"></script> {% endjsconcat %}` becomes: `<script src="/site_media/??a.js,b.js,c.js" type="text/javascript"></script> `
