Generic object_detail view filterable by multiple url values

This view acts as an extension to the object_detail generic view in django.views.generic.object_list. The standard generic view can only filter the queryset by object_id or slug; this view allows you to filter by any parameter you like, as well as multiple parameters. The usage is the same as the standard object_detail view except that you must also give the parameter 'filters', which should be an array of what you would like to filter the url values as, and instead of 'slug' or 'object_id' as the regex parameter in the URL, use 'value1', 'value2', etc. Example: If you have a list of companies, each with multiple branches, you may want a branch details page. A URL for this may look as follows: http://www.mysite.com/company/company-slug/branch-slug/. To implement this simply use the urlpattern example give,

(Almost) Single table polymorphism in Django

An emulation of "table per hierarchy" a.k.a. "single table inheritance" in Django. The base class must hold all the fields. It's subclasses are not allowed to contain any additional fields and optimally they should be proxies. They however may provide additional methods to operate on the declared field. The presented solution supports implicit inheritance, even across ForeignKeys, and ManyToManyFields. No additional database hits are imposed.

Debug middleware for displaying sql queries and template loading info when ?debug=true

Originally based on: [http://djangosnippets.org/snippets/1872/](http://djangosnippets.org/snippets/1872/) The way the original snippet formatted sql didn't work for mysql properly so I taught it to use the sqlparse python module. Now it looks like this when settings.DEBUG=True: SQL executed: SELECT "django_session"."session_key", "django_session"."session_data", "django_session"."expire_date" FROM "django_session" WHERE ("django_session"."session_key" = d326108d313a2e5c5fb417364b005ab9 AND "django_session"."expire_date" > 2011-04-08 14:54:13.969881) took 0.001 seconds SELECT "auth_user"."id", "auth_user"."username", "auth_user"."first_name", "auth_user"."last_name", "auth_user"."email", "auth_user"."password", "auth_user"."is_staff", "auth_user"."is_active", "auth_user"."is_superuser", "auth_user"."last_login", "auth_user"."date_joined" FROM "auth_user" WHERE "auth_user"."id" = 2 took 0.000 seconds Additionally, this middlware is enabled conditionally based upon the url query string "debug". You can enable it for a single request by appending: ?debug=true to the url.

collectstatic for media folders

Note: This concerns django 1.3 but the tags does not yet exist. We have a couple of apps, including 3rd party apps, that have the 'static' files in 'media' dirs. These files aren't found with collectstatic in django 1.3. With this snippet they will be. To use it: * paste the code in a file e.g. yourproject/finders.py. * include the finder in settings.STATICFILES_FINDERS: STATICFILES_FINDERS = ( 'django.contrib.staticfiles.finders.FileSystemFinder', 'django.contrib.staticfiles.finders.AppDirectoriesFinder', 'yourproject.finders.AppMediaDirectoriesFinder', ) * ./manage.py collectstatic -n -l

Workaround Firefox bug 553888

Firefox transparently follows redirects when AJAX calls return 3xx code. And it drops additional headers, X-Requested-With among them. Server treats redirected HTTP requested as non-AJAX. JS libraries has nothing to do here. At 16.03.11 bug https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=553888 has status "NEW" being reported at 21.03.10. Workaround is following: - in process_response(): if request.is_ajax() and response has status_code 3xx then put response["Location"] to session, otherwise unset session stored value (if it is there). - in process_request(): if not request.is_ajax() and request.path equals to stored session value then monkeypatch request.is_ajax() return True (before any views come into play). This results in smooth transparent redirects in Firefox, all treated as AJAX calls.

Finding related objects for instances in a queryset

When deleting objects in Django's admin interface, it lists other objects which would be deleted and asks for confirmation. This snippet does the same programmatically. The snippet works in Django 1.3 (more specifically, revision 14507 or later). It uses Django internals which are not a part of the public API, so this might not work with future versions. Usage: `polls/models.py`: from django.db import models class Poll(models.Model): question = models.CharField(max_length=200) def __unicode__(self): return self.question class Choice(models.Model): poll = models.ForeignKey(Poll) choice = models.CharField(max_length=200) def __unicode__(self): return '%s %s' % (self.poll, self.choice) `$ ./manage.py shell` >>> from polls.models import Poll, Choice >>> from datetime import datetime >>> from pprint import pprint >>> poll1 = Poll.objects.create(question='Me?') >>> Choice.objects.create(poll=poll1, choice='Yes') >>> Choice.objects.create(poll=poll1, choice='No') >>> poll2 = Poll.objects.create(question='Really?') >>> Choice.objects.create(poll=poll2, choice='Yes') >>> Choice.objects.create(poll=poll2, choice='No') >>> pprint(get_related(Poll.objects.all())) {<class 'polls.models.Poll'>: [<Poll: Me?>, <Poll: Really?>], <class 'polls.models.Choice'>: [<Choice: Me? Yes>, <Choice: Me? No>, <Choice: Really? Yes>, <Choice: Really? No>]}

currency filter without using locale

This snippet is a combination of the existing currency snippets I found and some modifications to use your own settings without the need to have the locale installed on the system. You can define in settings.py: DECIMAL_SEPARATOR = ',' THOUSAND_SEPARATOR = '.' CURRENCY_SYMBOL = u'€' With the above settings, using `{{ 1234.30|currency }}` on a template would result in `€1.234,30`
