filtered ModelChoiceField queries
ModelChoiceField allows you to use filtered queries to simplify your forms. This is great for adding objects but can fall down when you edit an existing object and the original query no longer contains the referenced field (e.g. I like to use an "active" field in several objects). The fix is simply to include an extra param: Q(pk=object_id). You have to do this in the __init__ method to get the object_id. A nice thing about this is that it works for ModelForms as well as custom Forms.

Image inlining template tag example
The example of the Image inlining template tag lib which inline images in the browser instead of making an Http request. The lib is available at : [http://djangosnippets.org/snippets/2268/](http://djangosnippets.org/snippets/2268/)

DRY with common model fields (another way)
Some time you want to add some common fields to a group of models, for example, in a **Generalization/Specialization** relationship. One could have a base model as the generalization class and specialized models with a foreign key to that base model with an unique attribute but I don't like it that way so, I just do this code to add some commons attributes to a lot of models. If you have many models that all share the same fields, this might be an option. The fields are added directly to each model, e.g. while they will be duplicated on the database level, you only have to define them once in your **python** code. This code is a cleaner way(I think!!!) to do it and will do the same that [this one](http://www.djangosnippets.org/snippets/317/). I hope this piece of code will be useful for you.

collectmedia command: Copy or link media files from installed apps
This management command discovers media files from all `INSTALLED_APPS` (or the apps you specify) and copies or links them to `MEDIA_ROOT`. Put this code in a file like so: yourapp/management/commands/collectmedia.py ...and don't forget the necessary `__init__.py` files. This command includes an interactive mode (`-i` or `--interactive`) and a dry run mode (`-n` or `--dry-run`) for previewing what will happen. See `manage.py help collectmedia` for more options.

Use the primary key in FileField and ImageField filenames
Sometimes it is desirable to use values like the primary key when naming `FileField` and `ImageField` files, but such values are only available after saving the model instance. This abstract class implements a two-phase save in order to make this case easy. See the example in the docstring. Another solution would be to write a `save()` that requires `upload_to` to be a callable that checks for `instance.pk`, then calls it again after saving. However, this would require more work from the developer for simple cases.

Improved Accept middleware with webkit workaround
An accept middleware, which is based on the code of http://djangosnippets.org/snippets/1042/ but adds a workaround for the buggy accept header, sent from webkit browsers such as safari and chrome. The workaround affects any accept header, that has xml and (x)html in the best q, but also the xml mediatype at first place in the list. If this is the case, the header is rearanged, by shifting the xml mediatype to become the last element of the best quality entries in the header. If the workaround did manipulate the header, and there is a html entry in the list with lower quality as an xhtml entry that is also in the list (with best q), then the html entry is also raised in q to be one entry in front of xml.

TestCase helpers
I use these helper methods in my unit tests. They turn many simple getting-and-posting tests into one-liners. Definitely a work in progress, and I can't be the only person who has done this sort of thing -- comments are more than welcome.

Analogue template filter to removetags that also removes the content of the tag
Django's builtin `removetags` filter removes the supplied tags, but leaves the enclosed text alone. Sometimes you need the complete tag, including its content to go away. Example: <h1>Some headline</h1> <p>Some text</p> Applying `removetags:"h1"` to this html results in Some headline <p>Some text</p> while `killtags:"h1"` leaves <p>Some text</p>

Monkey-patch Django's test client to return WSGIRequest objects
Testing low-level functionality sometimes requires a WSGIRequest object. An example of this is testing template tags. This will monkey-patch the test Client object to return WSGIRequest objects Normal Django behavior: >>> client.get('/') <HttpResponse > With this code, get the request object: >>> client.request_from.get('/') <WSGIRequest > Installation: For this to work, you simply need to import the contents of this file. If you name this file `clientrequestpatch.py`, do this inside your Django tests. from django.test.testcases import TestCase from myproject.test import clientrequestpatch
