monkey-patch django to use jinja2 templates for 404/500 pages and 3rd-party apps

This is heavily inspired by [http://code.google.com/p/smorgasbord/](http://code.google.com/p/smorgasbord/). But that couldn't reuse an existing jinja2 Environment, nor set filters on the Environment it created. This code assumes that you have `env` declared previously in the file as your Jinja2 Environment instance. In `settings.py`, you should set KEEP_DJANGO_TEMPLATES = ( '/django/contrib/', ) so that your Django admin still works. You can also set any other places that you do want to use Django templates there.

ChoiceField with widget in choice

This code creates a widget that we used to generate a list of radiobuttons as follows: * Radio button 1 --Widget__1 * Radio button 2 --Widget__2 * Radio button 3 --Widget__3 How to use it is: `ImagenForm class (forms.ModelForm): widget1 = forms.BooleanField () widget2 = forms.TextInput widget3 = forms.ModelChoiceField (queryset = Modelo.objects.all ()) widget4 = forms.FileInput optConListas = ChoiceWithOtherField (choices = [(2, 'widget1' widget1), (3, 'widget2' widget3.widget), (4, "widget2" widget2), (5, 'widget4' widget4)])`

iPhone Redirect Middleware

I didn't really like the current state of iPhone/Mobile redirect middleware mainly because I wanted something that was closer to twitters use case. So I came up with this. I don't think it a great snippet and I will probably fix it in the near future. But it works.

Paginator Tag for 1.x

This is a [Paginator Tag](http://www.djangosnippets.org/snippets/73/) for 1.x. Since the context is less overfull, the template, paginator.html, needs more logic. Put the tag in your templatetags and the template at the root of a template-directory. The tag will work out of the box in a generic view, other views must provide `is_paginated` set to True, `page_obj`, and `paginator`. You can get the `object_list` from the `page_obj`: `page_obj.object_list`. See [the pagination documentation](http://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.0/topics/pagination/).

django-noserun for testing

I wanted to use Nose with Django so I came up with this. `TEST_RUNNER = 'noserun.run_tests'` in settings.py It does not do setup/teardown implicitly between test methods, you need to call *nosetest.test.flush()* and *nosetest.test.loaddata()* manually if you want that. Enables the method names *setup* and *teardown* The environment variable *NOSE_COVER* runs coverage tests and *NO_DROPDB* preserves the test db.

Filter to adjust forloop.counter across pages in a paginated view

**Update:** Never mind. See [dc's comment](http://www.djangosnippets.org/snippets/1391/#c1763) below for a much easier way to do this. I recently had to write a template for a paginated view which displayed a serial number for each `object` in the `object_list`. I normally use `forloop.counter` for general purpose serial numbers. However this did not work with paginated views as the counter gets reset in each page. This caused the serial numbers to go from 1 to #-of-results-in-the-page and then repeat. **Assumptions:** The `adjust_for_pagination` filter adjusts the value of `forloop.counter` based on the current page. `Page` and `is_paginated` variables are expected to be present in the context. These should respectively denote the current page number (1 based) and if the results are paginated. `RESULTS_PER_PAGE` is currently taken from the settings file. I couldn't think of a way to pass this value also from the template.

Custom Admin Redirects

This little bit of code will let you reference parts of the admin but lets you control where it returns to. For instance, I have a list of objects in the admin and i want to have a delete link for each object. I don't want them to return to the changelist after a delete however, i want them to return to my list. cheers
