Instance partial update
If you're like me, you've got a models with a lot of fields/foreignkeys and often only want to edit a portion of the model in a form. Add this method to your custom form class and use it in place of the save() method.

Wiki-like markup for sub templates
I wanted to have the possibility to use a wiki-like markup style in my flatpages for various purposes (embedding images, quoting, etc.) After a few dead ends I came up with this, which is quite nice I think. > It basically takes a named tag, loads the corresponding template, passes in all arguments, renders the template and replaces the named tag with the result. *The markup looks like this:* > [[example:value to pass|option1=somevalue option2=values can have spaces too! without having to put them in quotes option3=some other value]] *This results in:* * Filter tries to load wiki/wiki_example.html * If it is loaded, it passes an WikiElement containing the value and the options to the template, renders it and replaces the tag with the rendered template *In the "wiki/wiki_example.html" template you can use it like this:* {{param.value}} {{param.opts.option1}} Or loop over param.opts.iteritems.

Online boolean switch in the admin list
You can switch boolean fields in the admin without editing objects Usage: ` class News(models.Model): # ... pub = models.BooleanField(_('publication'),default=True) # ... pub_switch = boolean_switch(pub) class Admin: list_display = ('id', 'pub_switch') ` Thanks for [svetlyak](http://www.djangosnippets.org/snippets/398/).

Templatetag for JS merging and compression
**Javascript merging and compression templatetag** One of the most important things for improving web performance is to reduce the number of HTTP requests. This is a templatetag that merges several javascript files (compressing its code) into only one javascript. It checks if this merged file is up to date, comparing modification time with the other javascripts to merge. Usage: {% load jsmerge %} {% jsmerge mergedfile js/file1.js js/file2.js js/file3.js %} The previous code will: 1. Search in `settings.MEDIA_ROOT` for all files passed by parameter. 2. Create a `/path/to/media_root/mergedfile.js` (if it doesn't exist or it's not up to date). This file is a merging plus compression of all javascripts. 3. Return this HTML fragment: `<script type="text/javascript" src="/media_url/mergedfile.js"></script>`

ImageURLField for forms
A URL field specifically for images, which can validate details about the filesize, dimensions and format of an image at a given URL, without having to read the entire image into memory. Requires [Python Imaging Library](http://www.pythonware.com/library/pil/). *4th October, 2008* - updated for 1.0 compatibility.

partition template filters
A couple of useful template filters for splitting a list (or QuerySet) up into rows or columns.

Incrementally Return CSV
The first function (ftype_batch) is a view that passes the first part of the CSV filename and a queryset intended to write out to the file. run_batch prepares the HttpResponse for incrementally writing, and write_batch actually writes out the data. The logic in write_batch is custom to what I need done, but as long as the csv writer receives a sequence to write, it should work.

True links in the admin list
Usually, you can add links in the admin using such code: class Pingback(models.Model): #... target_uri = models.URLField( _('Target URI')) #... def admin_target(self): return '<a href="%(targ)s">%(targ)s</a>' % {'targ': self.target_uri} admin_target.short_description = _('Target URI') admin_target.allow_tags = True #... class Admin: list_display = ('id', 'admin_target') But when you have two or more url fields, such approach becomes to expensive. Follow the DRY principe and use my code in such way: # Just add this line instead of the ugly four lines **def blabla** admin_target = link('target_uri', _('Target URI'))

Trigger a user password change
I would like to catch the raw plaintext password if a user created or change his password. First i tried to handle this with signals.post_save at the User class, like this: `dispatcher.connect(update, signal=signals.post_save, sender=User)` The problem is, in the User model exists e.g. 'last_login'. So the save method called every time, the user logged in :( And with post_save i get only the hashed password and not the plaintext source password. I found a simple way to trigger a user password change. I hacked directly into the django.contrib.auth.models.User.set_password() method. See the sourcecode. There exists a discussion in the [django-users thread](http://groups.google.com/group/django-users/browse_thread/thread/7c074e80a9cdcd21/) about this.

@url decorator - getting rid of urlpatterns
The rationale behind this decorator is described in django-users google group. Usage: === urls.py === urlpatterns = patterns('', (r'^', include('apps.app1.views')), (r'^app2', include('apps.app2.views')), ) === apps/app1/views/__init__.py === @url(r'^index/$') def index(request): ... @url(r'^news/$') def news(request): ... urlpatterns += include_urlpatterns(r'^members', 'apps.app1.views.members') === apps/app1/views/members.py === @url(r'^profile/$) def profile(request): .... @url(r'^secure/$) def secure(request): ... @url(r'^path1/$', '^path2/$') # you can specify several patterns def multipath_view(request): ... def helper(): # easily distinguishable - no @url! ... Summarizing, the benefits are: * no more creating and supporting urlpattern maps (less files, less code, more DRY) * have the url associated with a view in-place * easily see if a function is a view * fully compatible with other chained decorators

Extended Paginator
Generate a list of page links like: First Prev 1 2 3 *4* 5 6 7 Next Last To use: 1. Put Paginator.py into your app directory 2. Copy pagination.html to your templates directory 3. pass a paginator object to your Context 4. include the pagination.html template on the page you wanted paginated Feel free to send ideas for improvement. If enough people ask, I'll package this as a single app and perhaps even make the template inclusion into a templatetag for even easier use.

simple string formatting filter
I use this filter quite a bit to keep my templates less cluttered. Instead of: {%if some_variable%}, {{some_variable}}{%endif%} I can write: {{some_variable|format:", %s"}} A common one I use is: {{some_variable|format:"<p>%s</p>"}}
