A simple login form that does the actual authentification itself. **Usage:** if request.method == "POST": loginform = LoginForm(request.POST) if loginform.login(): return HttpResponseRedirect(redir_url) else: loginform = LoginForm()
This is an extendend version of the Rails Flash implementation by Sean Patrick Hogan that supports different message types. **Setting a flash message:** request.flash.error = 'Item could not be saved' request.flash['error'] = 'Item could not be saved' request.flash['foo'] = 'bar' **Displaying a flash in the view:** <!-- show the error message --> {% if flash.error %}An error occured:{{ flash.error }}{% endif %} <!-- just show the first message found --> {% if flash %}An error occured:{{ flash }}{% endif %} <!-- show all messages --> {% for msg in flash %}{{ msg.type }}: {{ msg.msg }}{% endfor %} Note that it still works with simple strings as well. Feel free to just use it like this: request.flash = "Message" And: {% if flash %}{{ flash }}{% endif %} However, be aware that once you did this, you destroyed the Flash() dict and thus lost the extended functionality. You can use request.flash.clear() to remove all messages.
Tuned IPAddressField with IPv4 & IPv6 support
FieldStack simplifies forms template rendering. This is enhanced version of snippet [1786](http://djangosnippets.org/snippets/1786/)
Exporting unicode data to Excel in a CSV file is surprisingly difficult. After much experimentation, it turns out the magic combination is UTF-16, a byte order mark and tab-delimiters. This snippet provides two classes - UnicodeWriter and UnicodeDictWriter - which can be used to output Excel-compatible CSV.
Convert numbers from base 10 integers to base X strings and back again. Sample usage: >>> base20 = BaseConverter('0123456789abcdefghij') >>> base20.from_decimal(1234) '31e' >>> base20.to_decimal('31e') 1234
Alex Gaynor presented this idiom at EuroDjangoCon 2009.
I needed to sort a set of objects (a QuerySet for example) by an externally provided list of IDs - for example: >>> writers = Writer.objects.all() >>> sort_by_id_sequence(writers, [3, 1, 2]) [<Writer id: 3>, <Writer id: 1>, <Writer id: 2>]
I needed this to work around a poorly configured redirecting service.
Adds a hidden footer to the bottom of every text/html page containing a list of SQL queries executed and templates that were loaded (including their full filesystem path to help debug complex template loading scenarios). To use, drop in to a file called 'debug_middleware.py' on your Python path and add 'debug_middleware.DebugFooter' to your MIDDLEWARE_CLASSES setting.
From my talk this morning at PyCon UK 2008: a very simple multiple user blog model with an admin interface configured to only allow people to edit or delete entries that they have created themselves, unless they are a super user.
**Explanations:** - the series "is_*_of" was created 'cos it's easier write: `{% if 10|is_day_of:date and user %}` than write: `{% ifequal date.day 10 %}{% if user %}...` - the series "inc/dec" is not complete, but can the extended to day, hour, minute, etc as you needs. It's util to inc 10 months since 05/31/2006 by example and get a 2007's date :) **Setup:** Insert the snippet into an_app/templatetags/datetimeutils.py. **Use in template:** `{% load datetimeutils %}` and use filters as following: - `{{ 30|is_day_of:a_date_time_variable }}` - `{{ 11|is_month_of:a_date_time_variable }}` - `{{ 2006|is_year_of:a_date_time_variable }}` - `{{ 58|is_minute_of:a_date_time_variable }}` - `{{ 23|is_hour_of:a_date_time_variable }}` - `{{ a_date_time_variable|dec_year:2 }}` - `{{ a_date_time_variable|dec_month:2 }}` - `{{ a_date_time_variable|inc_year:2 }}` - `{{ a_date_time_variable|inc_month:2 }}`
**Explanation:** That template filters is util for combine boolean-return conditions using template tag `{% if %}`. **Setup:** Insert the snippet into an_app/templatetags/myutils.py. **Use in template:** {% load myutils %} and use filters as following: - `{% if 10|is_multiple_of:5 %}` - `{% if 10|in_list:a_list_variable %}` - `{% if user.username|is_equal:a_variable %}` - `{% if user.username|is_not_equal:a_variable %}` - `{% if a_variable_|is_lt:5 %}` - `{% if a_variable_|is_lte:5 %}` - `{% if a_variable_|is_gt:5 %}` - `{% if a_variable_|is_gte:5 %}`
You can add this code to a file named "field_attrs.py" in a templatetags folder inside an application. To use it, remember to load the file with the following template tag: {% load field_attrs %} And for each field you want to change the widget's attr: {{ form.phone|attr:"style=width:143px;background-color:yellow"|attr:"size=30" }}
**How to use:** 1. puts this code at the end of the `models.py` file who haves the User Profile class declared; 2. verify if your User Profile class has the name 'UserProfile'. If not, change the code to the right name. **About:** this snippet makes the ORM create a profile each time an user is created (or updated, if the user profile lost), including 'admin' user.
