- Choices are saved as the key integers. - Admin will show the correct translation in forms. - You can reuse the make_choices function for other choices fields. - Bad side: bin/make_messages.py won't get the choices values automatically, you have to add them in the .po's by hand.
I needed to be able to synchronize my LDAP users and groups to the Django database. This may not be as efficient as some might like but it works like a charm. It returns a list of messages that I pipe into request.user.messages in my template.
Template tag for displaying a list of arbitrary models. Useful for life-stream kind of pages that display blog entries, links, photos etc ordered by date. [Example](http://bjornkri.com) **Usage:** something like: {% for object in object_list %} {% display_excerpt object %} {% endfor %} Will look for *app/model_excerpt.html* by default, and fall back on a generic *display_excerpt.html*, or returns the object's string representation as a last fallback. *display_excerpt.html* might look something like: <a href="{{ object.get_absolute_url }}">{{ object }}</a> Any model you throw at it should have a *get_absolute_url* and a string representation of some sort, so this gives you the bare minimum of a title and a link to a detail page. *display_excerpt* takes an optional argument to set the template suffix. This might be handy for generating different formatting for feeds, for instance: {% for object in object_list %} {% display_excerpt object "feed" %} {% endfor %} This will look for app/model_feed.html to render the object. Got lots of help from mattmcc on #django for this one, thanks!
Is a very simple atlassian crowd integration, I know the client soap requests are not so elegant but they work perfecly! you need to install amara ..
In an admin custom view I had the requirement to modify the upload handlers. However, the @staff_member_required locked the Files upload handlers as it uses the request.POST - see [Ticket 7654](http://code.djangoproject.com/ticket/7654). These decorators can be used before other decorators to allow setting of the upload handlers. Usage example: @upload_handlers_insert(0, QuotaUploadHandler) @staff_member_required def upload(request): pass
This will fetch the Top Artists List for the given username from Last.fm. It makes use of the django.cache Framework. I use it with django 0.96.2. Enjoy! Usage: ` {% load lastfm %} {% lastfm_topartists YourName as topartists %} {% for artist in topartists %} {{ artist.thumbnail }}, {{ artist.name }}, {{ artist.url }}, {{ artist.playcount }} and so on {% endfor %} `
If you use generic views for authenticated users, you must remember to ensure that the generic views are for auth users.
This is a _very basic_, _easily foolable_, restriction method implemented in a Django middleware. However, for low security sites that need a cursory barrier to entry (without the ability to assign/administer user accounts), this does very well. All of the features are fairly well-documented in the code.
The core templatetags for my project [google-chartwrapper](http://code.google.com/p/google-chartwrapper/). It is an easy method of creating dynamic GoogleCharts from the [GoogleChartAPI](http://code.google.com/apis/chart/). To get the most recent version: `svn checkout http://google-chartwrapper.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/` and run `python setup.py` in the downloaded trunk directory. There is an included django project there with the [ChartsExamples](http://code.google.com/p/google-chartwrapper/wiki/ChartExamples) all worked out in django templates
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
This is a HTTP response is use in my application when I want to return a 401. It's pretty simple, but effective for my needs.
I needed an abstract base class that can add attributes to the child classes based on the child's name. The attributes had to be implicit, but overridable, so all derived classes would get them by default, but they could be easily overriden in the child definition. So, the code code I came up with basically consists of a customized metaclass used by the abstract model.
When using mysql the sql that is generated by syncdb doesn't create the foreign key relationship in all cases. This code will run through a file called create_table.sql in which you store all your create sql statements ( use "python manage.py sqlall app1 app2 > create_table.sql" ) and outputs all the neccesary alter table scripts that add the foreign key. Its not 100% proof since the generated names can end up being more than 40 characters. Need to work on that. I have [written](http://vidyanand.wordpress.com/2008/06/16/is-it-a-mysql-or-django-fault/) about it a little more in detail.
