A streamable "export to CSV" admin action

This snippets is inspired from [#2995](https://djangosnippets.org/snippets/2995/) but add the following: * get rid of `singledispatch` so we can use it with python2 without pip installing anything * streaming capabilities * the configuration params (header, fields, exclude...) are passed to the action function so we don't pollute the ModelAdmin class * fix utf8 issue in header

Upload progress handler using cache framework

Ticket [#2070](http://code.djangoproject.com/ticket/2070) allows you to create your own file upload handlers. Here's an example handler that tracks a file's upload so you might display a progress meter after form submission. The snippet has two parts, the upload handler which tracks progress, and an upload_progress view used to report back to the browser. The upload handler uses [django's cache framework](http://www.djangoproject.com/documentation/cache/#the-low-level-cache-api) to store the data, which can then be retrieved by the view to send back to the browser. Note: Your form's http post request must have a query parameter (X-Progress-ID) sent along with it, which should contain a unique key to identify the upload. That key will also be sent with your ajax requests to the upload_progress view to retrieve the progress data. Setup: place the UploadProgressCachedHandler anywhere you like on the python path, and add to your settings.py: from django.conf import global_settings FILE_UPLOAD_HANDLERS = ('path.to.UploadProgressCachedHandler', ) + \ global_settings.FILE_UPLOAD_HANDLERS Set up the upload_progress view in any of your apps along with a corresponding entry in your urlconf. Here's some javascript example code to make the ajax requests and display the progress meter: <http://www.djangosnippets.org/snippets/679/> .

Mixin to enable admin permissions without using PermissionsMixin and models

Implements necessary permission checks on a user model to be compatible with django admin, but just return true on all permissions without actually checking it against anything. Useful when you have a user model that should always be allowed to use django admin, and you don't care about using django's own PermissionsMixin and don't want to have those models added to your database.

Password Validation - Require Letters and Numbers - no regex

Simple password validation for user registration - requires that password be 7 or more characters and contain both letters and numbers. Original validation with regex approach developed by kurtis. Optimized no-regex version based on code from watchedman ran as fast or significantly faster on all systems on which we tested it.

Link raw_id_fields (both ForeignKeys and ManyToManyFields) to their change pages

**UPDATE: Now works in Django 1.4** Based on luc_j:s snippet (http://djangosnippets.org/snippets/2108/) to show values in ManyToManyFields in the admin. This snippets does that, but also links each value to its corresponding admin change page. To use, just set the raw_id_fields to the value you want, and let your form inherit from ImproveRawIdFieldsForm.

  • django-admin
  • raw_id_fields

Custom change_list filter based on SimpleListFilter shows only referenced (related, used) values

Since Django 1.4 you can create your own filters for change list view. If you want to show just used/related items in filter chooser you can use this snippet. Original idea from [here](http://jmduke.net/post/39953950546/custom-admin-filters-in-django). Big thanks to author. Improved class names for better clarity and use of model_admin.model instead of hardcoded model name. In example you can see two models - City and Country. City has ForeignKey to Country. If you use regular list_filter = ('country',) you will have all the countries in the chooser. This snippet however filters only related countries - the ones that have at least one relation to city.

Django Rest Framework LoginExemptPermission: Apply `IsAuthenticated` to all ViewSet actions except those specified as exempt of authentication

Say you want to keep your API secure and thus it has authentication, but there's this one View action in a ViewSet which unlike the rest of the ViewSet's actions needs to allow free access without authentication. This solution applies the good old `IsAuthenticated` permission to all ViewSet actions except those defined in a `login_exempt_actions` list. That's a list of the ViewSet action's names. This is a simple solution for this particular problem, which I imagine could be quite common. Any case where the requirements are more complex should implement one of the DRF permissions extensions which allow for the use of logical operators. **NOTE**: Remember that `request.user` will be an `AnonymousUser` instance, so be careful with any code which assumes it'll be a `User` instance. This could be the case with, say, a custom `get_queryset` implementation.

ISBN model field: displays 10- and 13-digit variants and external links

Use like so: class Book(models.Model): title = models.TextField() isbn = ISBNField() ... the link in the widget can be changed to amazon, borders, you name it. If the DB version is a 13-digit ISBN, the display box contains the 10-digit, labeled; and vice-versa.
