Snippet List
ScriptPrefixMiddleware
Adds http://hostname or https://hostname before every URL generated by a Django url function. **Example:** Normally, something like YourModel().get_absolute_url() would return `/2009/09/02/slug`. However, this is not an absolute URL, because it does not include an HTTP schema or host. With this middleware, YourModel().get_absolute_url() will return `http://yourdomain.com/2009/09/02/slug`. This will also work for calls to reverse() or the {% url %} template tag. **Installation:** Drop this code into yourproject/middleware/scriptprefix.py. **Usage:** In your settings.py, add: MIDDLEWARE_CLASSES = ( # ... 'yourproject.middleware.scriptprefix.ScriptPrefixMiddleware', # ... )

Conditional Caching
This trick is for caching a view only if it passes some condition, for example, if there are more than zero items in a list. The same methodology could be used for conditional applying of other decorators.

Optimized humanize naturalday filter
In Django humanize naturalday filter, you could not get the time part since a programming issue, If you apply it like: {% load humanize %} {{ response.date_submitted|naturalday:"Y/n/j H:i" }} You can get 'today', 'yesterday', 'tomorrow' or empty, but you can not get such as '2009/9/10 11:56' So I change it like above code. Now you can get 'today', 'yesterday', 'tomorrow' or '2009/9/10 11:56'

Search DjangoSnippets with Firefox
You have to put this code in your *searchengines* Firefox folder in a file called **djangosnippets.xml** After restarting Firefox, you will be able to seek DjangoSnippets very easily. I also create a favicon.ico since djangosnippets.org didn't have one ... Path example : /usr/lib/iceweasel/searchplugins/djangosnippets.xml

ContentType Form
When working with the ContentType model there are generally two issues. 1. Models are listed in the table but not imported. 2. Unicode only returns model not application so being able to select a a app/model is sometimes difficult when to applications have a model with the same name. This snippet gets a listing of imported models and creates a drop down for selection. I also included a function that uses the returned from to get and save the correct ContentType within the primary model.

Integer based MoneyField
It is supposed the aggregation on integer is fast than numeric type in database duo to how they are stored as numeric is represented as string. As money only have 2 decimal place, it can be converted to an Integer despite of its decimal point. The python class decimal.Decimal also has a shortcoming that it is not json serializable(neither cjson nor simplejson). This money field appears as a float number to the front end, so it does not meet the headache as DecimalField. The usage is very simple. In Model: class SomeModel(models.Model): ... income = MoneyField('income') ... Then treat the attribute of the model instance as a normal float type. **Notes** If you try to use aggregation on this field, you have to convert it to float by yourself. Currently I could not find any method to fix this.
