Updated: GeoJSON Serializer for GeoDjango (gis)

Unfortunately the built in Django JSON serialzer encodes GeoDjango GeometyrField as WKT text. This snippet extends django's serializer and adds support for GEOJson format. Built in JSON serializer output: [{"pk": 1, ... "geopoint": "POINT (-76.5060419999999937 44.2337040000000030)" ... }] GeoJSON serializer ouput: [{"pk": 1, ... "geopoint": {"type": "Point", "coordinates": [-76.503296000000006, 44.230956999999997], "__GEOSGeometry__": [ "__init__", [ "SRID=4326;POINT (-75.5129950000000036 44.2442360000000008)" ] ] }] Note: the "__GEOSGeometry__" is a class hint as defined by JSON-RCP and used during deserilization.

Support for permissions for anonymous users in django ModelBackend

Model backend that enables permissions for AnonymusUsers. I wanted it to be as simple as possible so anonymous users just forward their permission checks to some fixed user model. This instance can be edited via django admin, assigned to groups, etc. To control which user will represent anonymous user you use ANONYMOUS_USER_NAME setting in settings file. To provide some sensible level of security i enforce following for user that represents anonymous user: * This user must have password equal to UNUSABLE_PASSWORD * This user may not log in * You cant cange password for this user via admin. You need to enable this backend by setting AUTHENTICATION_BACKENDS. Please note that you should not place this backend alongside django ModelBackend. This backend inherits from it.

Disable ordering in the admin for a model

Django admin orders models by their primary key by default, which can be undesirable on very large tables. This shows how to disable any ordering on a model. Note that this behavior is fixed in 1.4 trunk.

Remove old fields on dumpdata generated json

A small script that takes a manage.py dumpdata generated json file, and removes fields of the specified models. I needed this because i kept my initial data on a json file and after I removed a field on one of my models, the script wouldn't work anymore.

Persistent Session Debugging with Django Debug Toolbar

When using [django debug toolbar](https://github.com/django-debug-toolbar/django-debug-toolbar), I like to be able to turn debugging on and off without having to edit my settings file. This callback makes that possible. Add `?debug=on` to the URL to turn debugging on. It will remain on in the current session until you turn it off with `?debug=off`. Make sure your session middleware comes before your debug toolbar middleware.

Custom CSS class in Form with template tag filter

It was based in: http://djangosnippets.org/snippets/1586/ Instead of doing this: 'attribute_name = forms.CharField(widget=forms.TextInput(attrs={'class':'special'}))` You can do this in your template: {{ form|cssclass:"attribute_name:special_class"|cssclass:"other_attribute:special_class" }}

User groups template tag

This snippet is an improved version of the [ifusergroup](http://djangosnippets.org/snippets/1576/) tag that allows spaces in any of the group names. It also fixes a small bug where if a group didn't exist none of the subsequent groups would be checked.

Math Captcha Field and Widget

This math captcha field and widget was inspired by Justin Quick's django-math-captcha, but I wanted to make it into one form field and not have anything in settings.py. I removed the division and modulo operators to avoid people having to input fractions, and just randomly select the operator. It leverages Django's built-in MultiValueField to set up the hidden hashed answer to compare the user's input to instead of rendering strings for the fields like django-math-captcha does. Unit tests soon to follow, but this is used in production at: http://btaylorweb.com/. Enjoy!

App Display Label Template Filter Workaround

I have been wrestling with custom app labels and have come to the conclusion that this is the easiest workaround for the problem. Since I name most of my apps as Foo_Bar this makes them look a lot nicer. I just apply the filter to whatever app label and it fixes it. If you need a more complex replacement, you could just have an if statement that looks for the full app label and replaces it with whatever you want.
