Default to current/all sites in admin (updated!)

This code sets the default sites for a sites ManyToMany property to `Site.objects.all()`, which makes sure you don't have to bother setting it for each item on a site. This could easily be changed to `Site.objects.get_current()` to use the current site as default.

View and StatefulView classes

This snippet provides two view classes. The two reason I wanted to write this are, 1) Not have to import all the boilerplate code for each view and 2) so I could have the same URL handle loading a persons profile, or handle an OpenID login request without having to write two separate views. (Yes I know it isnt to hard to write my view, check the header and pass it off to the proper handler view, but I think it looks better code wise to have the handler methods all in one class) The first one is just for normal views conveniently called *View*. The *View* class that lets you do at least 90% of what you can do in a normal view function, but without having to import all the normal boilerplate code first since this class wraps methods around most if not all the *HttpResponse* types. The second class *StatefulView* maintains its state across page loads This is especialy useful for ajax type calls where you wish to maintain some form of state while the user is doing something but do not wish to make DB calls and do not wish to polute the session with trivial things **Note:** On my system it maintains state across browsers and computers as it is not tied to the session, BUT for this to happen all requests must be handled by the same proccess. So requests going to a differing process with not have the state maintained.

set_paths

To make all scripts relocatable. The layout of my project is: /some/path/myproject/ /some/path/myproject/some_script /some/path/myproject/some_other_script /some/path/myproject/set_paths.py /some/path/myproject/setttings.py /some/path/myproject/lib/ # some external libraries/apps checked in with my project. /some/path/myproject/myapp/ # my apps etc. This way myproject folder can be moved anywhere on the file system, and calling right path, settings.py is used.

better paginator template tag

This is slight improvement over [Paginator|Snippet 73](http://www.djangosnippets.org/snippets/73/). That used to not work properly if querystring already contains other parameters, like search result page. website/paginator.html: <br /><center> <span class="lbottom"> {% if has_previous %}<a href="{{ path }}page={{ previous }}"><< Previous </a>{% else %}<span>Previous </span>{% endif %} {% if show_first %}<a href="{{ path }}page=1">First </a>{% endif %} {% for page_no in page_numbers %} {% ifnotequal page_no page %} <a href="{{ path }}page={{ page_no }}">{{ page_no }} </a> {% else %} {{ page_no }} {% endifnotequal %} {% endfor %} {% if show_last %}<a href="{{ path }}page={{ pages }}">Last </a>{% endif %} {% if has_next %}<a href="{{ path }}page={{ next }}">Next >></a>{% else %}<span>Next </span>{% endif %} </span> <br /></center>

ajax error sink

Often its useful to get error information for ajax/javascript errors happening on various clients. This can go to something like this: # error_sink def error_sink(request): # post request, with event name in "event", and event data in "data" context = request.REQUEST.get("context", "") context = cgi.parse_qs(context) context["data"] = cgi.parse_qs(context.get("data", [""])[0]) context["user"] = request.vuser context["referrer"] = request.META.get('HTTP_REFERER', "referrer not set") context = pformat(context) send_mail( "ajax error", context, "[email protected]", ["[email protected]",], fail_silently=True ) return JSONResponse({"status": "ok" }) # }}}

Run Django as a FastCGI authorizer

I use this as the FastCGI script for authorizers with lighttpd (though I guess it should work with little change on any other webserver supporting FastCGI). I point it to the same Django project/settings as the normal responder script. As I use it to gate access to pages not served by Django, I can include those non-Django URLs in the main urls.py, connected to special authorizer view functions (in another snippet). The two key parts of the script, compared to the equivalent one for Django in the normal FastCGI Responder role, are: 1. Pass the FCGI_AUTHORIZER as the role to WSGIServer 2. Generate a PATH_INFO variable from the REQUEST_URI (FastCGI authorizers aren't given PATH_INFO, but Django needs that to match against the URLconf.)

Simple FastCGI authorizer view

This is a basic view for a FastCGI authorizer against the Django auth. The idea is to return either a blank response with REMOTE_USER set on success, a forbidden response for failure, or a redirect to a login page when no user is logged in. I use this view for a Trac instance running on the same (lighttpd) server as Django. lighttpd is set up to use Django as a FastCGI authorizer (using snippet 1149) for the Trac URLs instead of using basic/digest HTTP authentication, so Trac has the same users as Django.

FCKEditor replace all vLargeTextField in admin

If you want to add an fckeditor for every vLargeTextField (the input class used by models.TextField) you can use this javascript. you can load that in all admin pages overriding templates/admin/base_site.html with this: {% extends "admin/base.html" %} {% load i18n %} {% block title %}{{ title }} | {% trans "Administrative Area" %}{% endblock %} {% block branding %} <h1 id="site-name">{% trans "Administrative Area" %}</h1> {% endblock %} {% block nav-global %}{% endblock %} {% block extrahead %}{{ block.super }} <script src="{{media_url}}js/jquery.js" type="text/javascript"></script> <script src="{{media_url}}fckeditor/fckeditor.js" type="text/javascript"></script> <script src="{{media_url}}fckeditor/custom/vTextField.js" type="text/javascript"></script> {% endblock %}
