Forcing DB on relationship manager with multiple database project

I have a master/slave SQL setup and sometimes I need to access the data immediately after write, but the data has not yet propagated to the slave yet. This forces me to require `.using('default')` every time that relationship is accessed. Ex: self.books.using('default').all().delete() Setting `objects = ForceDefaultDBManager()` on the related object removes this requirement throughout your code. This now does the same as the last example: self.books.all().delete()

Extended Seconds-to-Duration Template Tag

Extended Template Tag initially created by Dan Ward (http://d-w.me): https://djangosnippets.org/snippets/1398/ The default setting has been renamed to normal, output stays the same. If you have used the old tag with ':short' you have to remove or rename it to ':normal' for the same ouput! As an example, given the duration 84658: Short: 23:30:58 Normal (default): 23 hrs 30 mins 58 secs Long: 23 hours, 30 minutes and 58 seconds Best regards, Gregor Volkmann

Another Multiform

MultiForm and MultiModelForm Based on a PrefixDict class I wrote and thus very lean. Lacks a little documentation, though class MyMultiForm(ModelMultiForm): class Meta: localized_fields = '__all__' form_classes = OrderedDict(( ('form1', Form1), ('form2', Form2), )) Subfields are named `form-name` `prefix_sep` `subfield-name`. `prefix_sep` defaults to `-`. For access in templates, use `form.varfields`, which uses `var_prefix_sep` (default: `_`), instead. multiform.varfields()['form1_field1']

Loading initial data per model at table creation (useful with migrations)

A very simple way of automatically loading data on model creation. As I am using South I wanted an automatic way of loading initial data only when a new model is create during a migration. Django provides almost everything out of the box by providing the *post_syncdb* signal (triggered also by South migrate command) and the *loaddata* command. The code will simply look for a an existing fixture named `<model>_initial.*` and invoke the *loaddata* command to try to load it Note: beware *post_syncdb* signal is deprecated since version 1.7: it has been replaced by *post_migrate*.

MultiRangeField and MultiRangeFormField

**Designed to hold a list of pages and page ranges for a book/magazine index.** A custom model field (and accompanying form field) that saves comma-separated pages and page ranges in human-readable string form. Includes some clean-up code, so that you can add a new page or range at the end of an existing entry, and it will put it in numeric order and combine runs into ranges. So this: 4-33, 43, 45, 60-65, 44, 59 becomes the tidy 4-33, 43-45, 59-65 **NOTE:** If you comment out the raising of the `ValidationError` in the form field's validate() method, it will actually clean up any extraneous characters for you (which could be dangerous, but for me is usually what I want), so even this horrible mess: ;4-33, 46a fads i44 ,p45o gets cleaned to 4-33, 44-46 *This is the first custom field I've ever written for Django, so may be a little rough but seems to work fine.

SSL Force Middleware

A simple way to force SSL on all pages. It's very simple at this point - the only issue I can see right now and I will address this later is if someone sends http:// in another portion of your url.
