FlatPageOverrideMiddleware
This snippet is a piece of middleware that can be used to allow an administrator to create a flatpage that will override an existing URL. Why would you want such a thing? Maybe an admin needs to be able to override individual detail pages of an item list at will and doesn't want to be bothered mucking around with urlconf and restarting apache2. Obviously, it's not the ideal situation for permanent overrides (in that case, you'd be better off writing an exception in the urlconf), but it's good for the temporary, one-off, situations that may arise for whatever reasons.

Convert a Couchdb document into a Python object
Originally posted by [Leah Culver on her blog](http://leahculver.com/2008/11/25/couchdb-documents-python-objects/). This allows you to convert a CouchDB document into a python object and work on CouchDB fields as if they were properties of a python object.

S3 static media uploader
This is a bastardisation of a few of the Amazon s3 file uploader scripts that are around on the web. It's using Boto, but it's pretty easy to use the Amazon supplied S3 library they have for download at [their site](http://developer.amazonwebservices.com/connect/entry.jspa?externalID=134). It's mostly based on [this](http://www.holovaty.com/blog/archive/2006/04/07/0927) and [this](http://www.davidcramer.net/code/112/writing-a-build-bot.html). It's fairly limited in what it does (i didn't bother os.walking the directory structure), but I use it to quickly upload updated css or javascript. I'm sure it's a mess code wise, but it does the job. This will first YUI compress the files, and then gzip them before uploading to s3. Hopefully someone might find this useful. It will also retain the path structure of the files in your MEDIA_ROOT directory. To use it, set up your Amazon details, download the [YUI Compressor](http://developer.yahoo.com/yui/compressor/), and then enter the folder you wish to upload to s3, and basically run the script - python /path/to/s3_uploader.py

table with n items per row using custom modulo tag
As a quick, simple way to take a list of items make a table with n items per row I added a custom template filter for modulo of an integer. To make the custom filter first create a "templatetags" directory in your application folder then add an empty file called "__init__.py" in that new directory. Finally add a file "myapp_tags.py" with the above code in it. In the template you load your custom filter with {% load pictures_tags %} and then you can make a table with n elements per row using a simple for loop and in if statement. This works because if ( for_loop.counter modulo n ) is zero ("if not" evaluates to True on zero values), then it makes a new table row. You might note that if the number of items in list is a multiple of n, there will be an empty row at the end... preventing that adds needless complexity so I left that out!

Dynamic image generator
This is the complete image_processor.py module, allowing you to add an image containing an arbitrary piece of text. I use this to label the horizontal axis of a skills-matrix report. Credit www.renewtek.com for paying me to do this stuff!

Cycling MEDIA_URL context processor

Cookieless Session Middleware
This middleware will put the sessionid in every place that it might be needed, I mean, as a hidden input in every form, at the end of the document as a javascrit variable to allow the AJAX request use it and of course as a GET variable of the request. To make it work correctly the MIDDLEWARE_CLASSES tuple must be in this order: ` 'CookielessSessionPreMiddleware', 'django.contrib.sessions.middleware.SessionMiddleware', 'CookielessSessionPosMiddleware', 'django.contrib.auth.middleware.AuthenticationMiddleware', ` Hope it work for someone else out there.

Search Engine Referrer info in request
This is exacly the same snippet as #197 http://www.djangosnippets.org/snippets/197/ but returning search enigne, search engine domain and search term in: request.search_referrer_engine request.search_referrer_domain request.search_referrer_term I wanted to show ads only to people comming from search engines so I took snippet #197 and modify it to put that info in the request object.

A GET string modifier templatetag
This template tag takes the current GET query, and modifies or adds the value you specify. This is great for GET-query-driven views, where you want to provide URLs which reconfigure the view somehow. **Example Usage:** `{% get_string "sort_by" "date" %}` returns `all=your¤t=get&variables=plus&sort_by=date`

BigIntegerField and BigAutoField
Allows to create bigint (mysql), bigserial (psql), or NUMBER(19) (oracle) fields which have auto-increment set by using the AutoField of django, therefore ensuring that the ID gets updated in the instance when calling its 'save()' method. If you would only subclass IntegerField to BigIntegerField and use that as your primary key, your model instance you create would not get the id attribute set when calling 'save()', buy instead you would have to query and load the instance from the DB again to get the ID.
