The django admin (as of 1.3) doesn't allow for short_description (and other ModelAdmin function attributes) to be a callable. Until that happens, this handy snippet allows you to return dynamic descriptions. Note, I haven't actually tested this yet -- but I plan to when I have the free time.
Provides a mixin view class that requires logged-in user.
When I save this in admin, it will call model save() twice Django version 1.2.3, using settings 'admin.development' Development server is running at http://127.0.0.1:8080/ Quit the server with CONTROL-C.

The above snippet can be added as a custom filter for rendering code snippets in django templates. A simple '|render' next to any source code will do. To add css, use the following command to generate css file. pygmentize -S emacs -f html > pygments-colorful.css And link this css file to the template.
Use in a with statement to set the translation to another locale for a block >>> from django.utils.translation import ugettext >>> ugettext('title') u'title' >>> with Translation('fr') as locale: ...: print locale.locale ...: print ugettext('title') ...: ...: fr titre >>> ugettext('title') u'title'
Motivation: We can't use GeometryCollections to do filters, etc in GeoDjango due to incomplete underlying libraries. But with this CollectionFrom field we can get all the benefits of working with GeometryCollections but still query based on points, lines, polys. If you're using GeometryCollectionFields and see this error: DatabaseError: Relate Operation called with a LWGEOMCOLLECTION type. This is unsupported. Then this will probably be helpful for you.
To convert string to lower case replace upper() for lower()
Formats a django variable using a python string formatting as specified in another template variable. Similar to |stringformat. Takes two arguments: the django template variable with the item to be formatted and the django template variable containing the format string. {% pyformat number formatstringvar %} Place this file in `appname/templatetags/pyformat.py` and you're good.
TimeZoneField is not supported with South 0.7. This snippet adds a custom rule to the introspection rules for TimeZoneField. The code is found in the following thread, and fixed according to the latest version of TimeZoneField. http://groups.google.com/group/south-users/browse_thread/thread/34a05331140ee4dd **Usage** Simplest way is to save this snippet in a south_rules.py file and add an import in the models.py.
To let the development server use the network you must use the ip of your machine.
**NOTE: This is modified from 1.0's test runner and has only been tested on Django 1.0 + Python 2.5** This is a test runner that searches inside any app-level "tests" packages for django unit tests. Modules to be searched must have names that start with "test_" (this can be changed by modifying `get_multi_tests()`, [`mod.startswith('test_') and mod.endswith('.py')`]). It also allows for arbitrarily nested test packages, with no restrictions on naming, so you could have: myapp/ +- tests/ +- __init__.py +- test_set1.py +- category1/ +- __init__.py +- test_something.py +- subcat/ +- __init__.py +- test_foobar.py +- category2/ +- __init__.py +- test_other.py and "manage.py test myapp" would pick up tests in all four test_*.py test modules. Searching the modules in this way, instead of importing them all into the top-level `__init__.py`, allows you to have "name collisions" with TestCase names -- two modules can each have a TestFooBar class, and they will both be run. Unfortunately, this snippet doesn't allow you to specify a full path to a specific test case or test module ("manage.py test myapp.category1.test_something" and "manage.py test myapp.test_set1.TestFooBar" won't work); using "manage.py test myapp.TestFooBar" will search out all test cases named "TestFooBar" and run them. "manage.py test myapp.TestFooBar.test_baz" will work similarly, returning the test_baz method of each TestFooBar class. To use, put this code in "`testrunner.py`" in your project, and add `TEST_RUNNER = 'myproject.testrunner.run_tests'` to your `settings.py`.
This will truncate a long character based on the given length parameter. If the word is cut-off, it will return the string up until the next space. If there are no spaces in the next 5 characters, that should mean a very long word and we should truncate right away.
This is a slight modification from the original version at [http://djangosnippets.org/snippets/709/](http://djangosnippets.org/snippets/709/) and is a middleware designed to output the right headers for generated KML or KMZ content. In the case of KMZ content, it handles the compression of the original KML content into the KMZ format. This version applies the processing to only requests ending with a .kml or .kmz in the URL. For instance, a request with the URL **http://example.com/kml/foo.kml** or **http://example.com/foo.kmz** will get processed by this middleware.
Very much like the snippet joshua wrote (http://djangosnippets.org/snippets/67/) for the same purpose but with the addition that this lets the user get values for more complex settings like dicts and lists
Small changes to [Snippet 1694](http://djangosnippets.org/snippets/1694/) to that QueryAPI works for django 1.2 and higher. Changes: * Replaced `get_db_prep_value` with `get_prep_value`. * Replaced `get_db_prep_lookup` with modified `get_prep_lookup`.
