Django app/project/directory po messages collector and pofile bulder

Some times if third party application is not translated competelly, developer have to extract and save all of **i18n** strings of third party application to current project, somewhere in root project directory (and configure additional `LOCALE_DIRS` entry) or in any project's applications (usually named "main" or same as project). And after, create **po** file by makemessages, completely translate it and compile it to **mo** file. This script allows you to extract all messages (`msgid`) from all **po** files and save it in **python** file in **django** format — `_("Some i18n message")`, and also compile complex **po** file, contained all **msgids** with related **msgstrs** of third party application. Full example: You have third party app, which is translated to russian, but not completely and names **blog**. It contains two locale dirs and have, for example, the following structure: blog ..locale ....ru ......LC_MESSAGES ........django.mo ........django.po ..contrib ....comments ......locale ........ru ..........LC_MESSAGES ............django.mo ............django.po ......__init__.py ......models.py ..__init__.py ..models.py ..urls.py ..views.py Each po file may contains any set of strings, which may be duplicated accross the application and any other po files, anyway result **po** file will be contain only unique **msgids** and **msgstrs**. This application installed by pip into virtualenv lib directory and of cource you do not want change code here. To translate this application in your project it is possible to copy all (unstanslated) strings to you project as `ugettext` entries (usually `_("Some i18n string")`), make **po** file, translate it and compile **mo** file. So, after call this script (for example, let it be named `pomessages.py`), you will get two files, **django.py** which contains all i18n strings and **django.po** which contains all **msgids** (i18n strings) with related translations. `pomessages.py path/to/third-party-app/root locale [project-name:default is empty] [filename:default=django]` In this case: `pomessages.py path/to/blog ru blog django` After script will be finished, in blog directory will be added two files, **django.po** and **django.mo**. **django.py** content: ... # blog:admin (source:ru) directory translations # ---------------------------------------------- _("Category") # blog:models.py:10, blog:views.py:15 _("Article") # blog:models.py:20 # blog:category/admin (source:ru) directory translations # ------------------------------------------------------- _("Add Category") # blog:category/admin/templates/admin/create.html:10 _("Edit Category") # blog:category/admin/templates/admin/change.html:20 ... **django.mo** content: ... # msgid "" msgstr "" "Project-Id-Version: Blog\n" "POT-Creation-Date: 2016-02-08 12:00+0000\n" "PO-Revision-Date: 2016-02-08 18:00+0000\n" #: path/to/file.py:10 msgid "Category" msgstr "Категория" #: path/to/file.py:20 msgid "Article" msgstr "" ... After you just need to place **py** file anywhere in your project and place **po** file to the following locale directory (or merge with existing **po** file if it exists), run: `django-admin makemessages -lru` to fix **po file** (remake it), translate missing entries and run: `django-admin compilemessages`, reload project and you will have translated third party application.

Haystack whoosh backend with custom analyzer (allow using any lang, word processing, etc)

It is a haystack custom whoosh backend which provides analyzer customisation (required `get_analyzer` method definition). That means it is possible to define any complex analyzers (see [whoosh](https://bitbucket.org/mchaput/whoosh/wiki/Home) docs and source). Sample code shows how to use it, builtin `LanguageAnalyzer` instance configured for working with russian language used as custom analyzer. Base idea taken from this snippet: [https://djangosnippets.org/snippets/3025/](https://djangosnippets.org/snippets/3025/)

better localsettings import

Most people simply wrap "from localsettings import *" in a try/except ImportError block. That's what I've done for years, but recently came up with this better way. The problem this snippet solves is that if your localsettings.py itself causes an ImportError somehow, that error will be silently swallowed and your intended localsettings will be ignored. Instead, we use `imp` to first check if the module exists, then unconditionally try to import it.

Generic Outputting CSV with Django

Save the snippet as actions.py within your core app, and then add an action on any model you want in it's ModelAdmin definition. Example usage: `from actions import export_as_csv_action` `class YourModelAdmin(admin.ModelAdmin):` ` list_display = ('field', 'get_field2')` ` actions = [export_to_csv(filename='your-model')]` ` def get_field2(self, obj):` ` return obj.field2`

Filtering foreignkey fields in django admin

Sometimes you need to filter foreignkey choices in admin interface, to objects created by user or meeting some other condition. In django 1.0 there is no formfield_for_foreignkey method in ModelAdmin class so we have to make a workaround. Here is the solution I have found to be the easiest for me.

Add GET parameters from current request

The tag generates a parameter string in form '?param1=val1&param2=val2'. The parameter list is generated by taking all parameters from current request.GET and optionally overriding them by providing parameters to the tag. This is a cleaned up version of http://djangosnippets.org/snippets/2105/. It solves a couple of issues, namely: * parameters are optional * parameters can have values from request, e.g. request.GET.foo * native parsing methods are used for better compatibility and readability * shorter tag name Usage: place this code in your appdir/templatetags/add_get_parameter.py In template: {% load add_get_parameter %} <a href="{% add_get param1='const' param2=variable_in_context %}"> Link with modified params </a> It's required that you have 'django.core.context_processors.request' in TEMPLATE_CONTEXT_PROCESSORS
