**Usage** (*in template*): <img src="{{ MEDIA_URL }}2007/images/{% filter split:","|random %}theimage1.jpg,something2.jpg,thirdisthecharm.jpg{% endfilter %}" /> I decided to make it simple, because one template creator wanted to add random images to different places of templates. Creating something huge, like external image filename parsing was not necessary in this case.
To let the development server use the network you must use the ip of your machine.
Add this to your apache config: `<Directory /path/to/media> WSGIAccessScript /path/to/access.wsgi </Directory>` Save the snippet as access.wsgi. Set up the paths, and do some authorization checking.
Sorl thumbs for the lazy. **Usage:** {% thumb p.image "noimage.png" %} *tags.py* goes into your templatetags directory. *includes/thumb.html* goes into your templates directory. [Fork it here.](https://gist.github.com/985439)
Assuming you have defined STATIC_ROOT correctly in settings.py, and have installed staticfiles_urlpatterns() in urls.py (as demoed in the code, taken from Django's staticfiles docs), the code from static_root_finder.py can be used to simply serve static files in development from STATIC_ROOT directly, avoiding complicated setups in case we just want to have a bunch of static files in one directory.
When I save this in admin, it will call model save() twice Django version 1.2.3, using settings 'admin.development' Development server is running at http://127.0.0.1:8080/ Quit the server with CONTROL-C.

On WebFaction, each host has it's own Apache instance, with WebFaction's main Apache instance forwarding requests. This is very useful but means that some of the original information is lost. This middleware should be installed at the top of your list to restore this lost info. It includes the functionality that used to be in SetRemoteAddrFromForwardedFor before it was removed from Django.
Short and sweet date format from Gmail. Use as {{ message.sent_at|humantime }} Works for future dates too.
This handler is useful if you serve static/media files directly from Apache only to authenticated users. It checks if a user is not anonymous (and therefore logged in) and redirects to the login site if needed. The following apache config activates the handler: <Location "/site_media/company1"> #SetHandler None ##Uncomment if you serve static files in the same virtual host PythonOption DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE mysite.settings PythonAuthenHandler mysite.myhandler PythonPath "['/path/to/project'] + sys.path" Require valid-user </Location>
*JsonWebService.jsonresponse JsonWebService provides the property jsonresponse which marks the method it is applied to, and also serializes to json the response of the method. *JsonWebService.urls Scans the marked methods and build a urlpattern ready to use in urls.py
gets the value from request and returns it's boolean state
The above snippet can be added as a custom filter for rendering code snippets in django templates. A simple '|render' next to any source code will do. To add css, use the following command to generate css file. pygmentize -S emacs -f html > pygments-colorful.css And link this css file to the template.
Code example queryset = Event.objects.all().select_related('user', 'category') queryset = comments_extra_count(queryset)
This middleware will look for the cookies set when a Facebook Connect user authenticates to your site, read those cookies, determine if the logged in user is your Facebook friend and then log that user into your Django-powered site. If you don't need the bit about friend verification, it should be trivial to strip out. There are a couple of other things that are needed to get FB Connect working with your site, and you can find a more detailed entry [here (http://nyquistrate.com/django/facebook-connect/)](http://nyquistrate.com/django/facebook-connect/).
This builds on a couple of other people's hacks to effectively manage django-mptt models via the admin. One problem you find is if you use the actions drop-down menu to ‘delete selected’ items from your mptt model… the bulk actions bypass the model’s delete method so your left/right values for the tree aren’t updated. What you need is a way to automatically rebuild the tree after a bulk action. This code provides that facility. Full details on my blog: [http://anentropic.wordpress.com/2009/10/26/](http://anentropic.wordpress.com/2009/10/26/making-admin-bulk-delete-action-work-with-django-mptt/)
