A simple function that will remove the quote marks from every string in a list - if and only if the quote marks are the first and last character of the string, regardless of whether they are single or double quotes. Useful when parsing the arguments of a custom tag.
The @cache_holding decorator works in a per-function base, you can specify a list of models or just a model and the second argument is the time in seconds to be cached. You can modify the proxy class by a keyword argument so you can do cache to all kind of things, also if you want to use a prefix as key + the hash value you can specify the prefix keyword argument.
A clean and simple implementation of parsing the Accept header. It places the result in request.accepted_types. Place this middleware anywhere in the chain, as all it does is add to the request object.
Binds $Model to $ModelAdmin without having to specify each binding manually. The ModelAdmins **must** have the same name as the model (as well as same case) with Admin appended. Example: from django.db import models class SomeModel(models.Model): name = models.CharField(max_length=255) class AnotherModel(models.Model): name = models.CharField(max_length=255) # bind administration bind_administration('myproject.myapp.models', 'myproject.myapp.admin')
Use of a lambda function in the urlpatterns to easily redirect a url.
Save to autotranslate.py, run using python autotranslate.py pofile inputlang outputlang, eg. python autotranslate.py path_to_blank_fr_lang.po en fr, to translate to french. Some known bugs: * Doesn't handle some line returns properly * Block translations aren't formated correctly in the translation. If anyone has any issues or fixes please post to the comments. Of course the output shouldn't be used as substitute to a proper translation.
GeoNames provides a useful data file with information about every country in the world (DjangoPeople uses this). Here's an importer that grabs the file from the web and turns it in to a list of dictionaries.
This is a simple rc script, suitable for starting a FastCGI daemon on FreeBSD. Simply copy this into /usr/local/etc/rc.d , change all references to "signet" to the name of your app, mark it executable and modify /etc/rc.conf accordingly.
This is a custom block tag and is used like this: {% load whitespaceoptimize %} {% whitespaceoptimize "css" %} /* CSS comment */ body { color: #CCCCCC; } {% endwhitespaceoptimize %} And when rendered you get this output: body{color:#CCC} To install it, download the snippet and call it `myapp/templatetags/whitespaceoptimize.py`. (Make sure you have a `__init__.py` in the `templatetags` directory) You need to download and install [slimmer](http://www.issuetrackerproduct.com/Download#slimmer) and put on your Python path. The block tag can be used for `javascript` and `html` as well as `css`. You can also let it guess the format; this would work for example: {% whitespaceoptimize %} <table> <tr> ... {% endwhitespaceoptimize %} ...but this would just replicate the functonality of the [built-in spaceless tag](http://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/ref/templates/builtins/#spaceless)
See also [this thread](http://groups.google.com/group/django-developers/browse_thread/thread/ead13c9424b279a2). I'm an idiot; this snippet has now been updated to show how you do this without re-inventing the wheel.
Here's a snippet to pair an arbitrary form Field type (the "target field") with a checkbox. If the checkbox is not selected, the cleaned_data value for the field will be None. If the checkbox is selected, it will return the target field's cleaned value.
Integration of django and Jinja2. Just import render_to_response from this file and you are ready. This file automatically adds template search path from yout TEMPLATE_DIRS and from each installed application. You can also use several variables in your settings.py to add filters, tests and global functions to the default context. This can be done by using JINJA_GLOBALS, JINJA_FILTERS and JINJA_TEST e.g. `JINJA_FILTERS = ( 'myapp.filters.myfilter', 'myapp.filters.myfilter2', )`
This is a light-weight flash implementation. Instead of hitting the database it uses cookies. The messages are shown to the user only once, after that the cookies are deleted. I tested it on Google App Engine, but it should work on vanilla Django as well, there's no GAE specific code. To set up, add `"path.to.flash.Middleware"` to the `MIDDLEWARE_CLASSES` list. Also add `'path.to.flash.context_processor'` to the `TEMPLATE_CONTEXT_PROCESSORS` list. In your views, import and call `flash_error(msg)` and `flash_notice(msg)` passing the message that you want to show. In your base template use this mark up: {% if flash.notice %} <div id="flash_notice"> <p>{{ flash.notice }}</p> </div> {% endif %} {% if flash.error %} <div id="flash_error"> <p>{{ flash.error }}</p> </div> {% endif %} And finally, add this to your CSS file changing colours as necessary: #flash_error { margin-top: 30px; padding: 20px; background-color: #FFCCCC; border: solid 1px #CC0000; } #flash_notice { margin-top: 30px; padding: 20px; background-color: #CCFFCC; border: solid 1px #00CC00; } #flash_error p, #flash_notice p { margin: 0px; } Please comment if you notice any FUs. I'm new to Django and will appreciate any feedback.
If you want use html formatting download tinyMCE
A command for manage.py which scans through installed applications the way admin.autodiscover does, just looking for media folders. It then creates a symbolic link to the media under MEDIA_ROOT/app_name. Usage: save in an apps management/commands folder and run with "python manage.py linkmedia" Only works on *nix systems, but there should be an equivilent way to do this with windows using .lnk files.
