X-Sendfile static file serve view
This view has the same functionality as Django's builtin static view function but when the configuration option `USE_XSENDFILE = True` is specified in the settings it returns the absolute path of the file instead of its contents. This allows the mod_xsendfile module in Apache or Lighttpd to take care of efficiently serving the file while still allowing for Django to take care of other processing of the request, like access control or counting the amount of downloads.

Generate ICalendar Files with django-events
This is a fairly straightforward view to generate iCalendar (.ics) files, with a unique UUID, a proper filename, and the basic fields needed to export an event from a public calendar (using the django-events-calendar app). While it can certainly be extended and adapted, it works very well as-is.

MoinMoin auth backend
This snippet implements an authentication backend for MoinMoin user accounts. If you have a MoinMoin running on the same server which has users, you can allow those users to sign into a Django site with the same username and password. To use, define the following settings: MOIN_DATA_DIR = "/path/to/moinmoin/data/dir" AUTH_BACKENDS = ( 'django.contrib.auth.backends.ModelBackend', '<this snippet module>.MoinMoinBackend', ) # optional list of groups that authenticating users must be in MOIN_AUTH_GROUPS = ["EditorGroup",]

Link raw_id_fields (both ForeignKeys and ManyToManyFields) to their change pages
**UPDATE: Now works in Django 1.4** Based on luc_j:s snippet (http://djangosnippets.org/snippets/2108/) to show values in ManyToManyFields in the admin. This snippets does that, but also links each value to its corresponding admin change page. To use, just set the raw_id_fields to the value you want, and let your form inherit from ImproveRawIdFieldsForm.

Polymorphic inheritance ala SQLAlchemy
This is a different take on polymorphic inheritance, inspired by SQLAlchemy's approach to the problem. The common Django approach (e.g. snippets 1031 & 1034, [django_polymorphic](http://github.com/bconstantin/django_polymorphic)) is to use a foreign key to `ContentType` on the parent model and override `save()` to set the right content type automatically. That works fine but it might not always be possible or desirable, for example if there is another field that determines the "real type" of an instance. In contrast this snippet (which is actually posted and maintained at [gist.github](http://gist.github.com/608595)) allows the user to explicitly specify the field that determines the real type of an instance. The basic idea and the terminology (`polymorphic_on` field, `polymorphic_identity` value) are taken from [SQLAlchemy](http://www.sqlalchemy.org/docs/orm/inheritance.html). Some other features: * It works for proxy child models too, with almost no overhead compared to non-polymorphic managers (since there's no need to hit another DB table as for multi-table inheritance). * It does not override the default (or any other) model Manager. Regular (non-polymorphic) managers and querysets are still available if desired. * It does not require extending a custom Model base class, using a custom metaclass, monkeypatching the models or any kind of magic.

HTML Email with Inline Attachments (images)
This will allow you to attach HTML multipart emails (HTML/text) and use inline images. In my example, I'm attaching an image that's stored as an 'attachment' to an 'event.' The file name of the attachment is called "inline.jpg" and I'm referencing it in my HTML message. I'm also attaching a VCAL file (.ics) file that has some information about an associated event.

ReportBug() with tons of debug in mail
This basically takes the debug you get from setting debug=True, but instead, pipes it into an email and sends it over to you. I have extracted this out of our de framework, it should work, but some modifications may be necessary.

ResizeImageField
ResizeImageField ================ (extension of RemovableImageField) ================================= by Wim Feijen, Go2People. What does it do? ---------------- ResizeImageField is a replacement for django's ImageField. It has two major benefits: 1. Creation of thumbnails and scaled images. 1. Extends the image upload form and adds a preview and a checkbox to remove the existing image. It's easy to use: - Replace ImageField by ResizeImageField - No further changes are necessary Requirements: ------------- Working installation of PIL, the Python Imaging Library Usage ----- - add resize_image to your app - add resize_filters.py to your templatetags - in settings.py, set a PHOTO_DIR, f.e. photos/original - in models.py, add: - from settings import PHOTO_DIR - from resize_image import ResizeImageField - photo = ResizeImageField(upload_to=PHOTO_DIR, blank=True) Scaled images will be stored in 'photos/scaled', thumbnails will be stored in 'photos/thumb'. Access your images from your template. Add:: {% load resize_filters %} {{ address.photo.url|thumb }} or:: {{ address.photo.url|scaled }} Defaults ------- - Scaled images are max. 200x200 pixels by default - Thumbnails are 50x50 pixels. Override the default behaviour in settings.py Scaling is done by PIL's thumbnail function, transparency is conserved. Credits ------ This code is an adaptation from python snippet 636 by tomZ: "Updated Filefield / ImageField with a delete checkbox"
