Generates admin.py file for a models.py file with the basic structure that could be edited. Usage: python gen_admin_py.py path/to/models.py creates a file admin.py in the same directory as models.py. import your models as you edit the admin.py
I miss the ability to use testmodels in app-tests. Using this testrunner you can include a test "app" in the app's tests module. Say if you have a module test_app.models within the tests module you could use it in the test like this: from django.test import TestCase from some_django_app.tests.test_app import models as testingmodels TEST_APPS = 'test_app' class ATestCase(TestCase): def test_no_url_model_signals(self): thing = testingmodels.ThingModel(name=u'a small thing') `TEST_APPS` can either be a string, a list or a tuple. This testrunner works with Django 1.1. It is based on the simple testrunner included with Django.
Useful in sumbiting data . Remember to use form.save_m2m() :)
Want to display the remaining characters on a text field in admin? (based off of maxlength or an override) also lives here: [http://github.com/broderboy/django-admin-remainingcharacters](http://github.com/broderboy/django-admin-remainingcharacters)
When you have a model containing a field that is a foreign key back to the same model, you could find yourself with a hierarchy with an infinite loop: #Data modelling Back to the Future > grandfather > father > son > father > ... Using this field instead of the standard ForeignKey will ensure that no model instance is saved that has itself as an ancestor, breaking the relationship if it does. (Enhancements: I am sure one would want to better enhance this with appropriate error handling instead of silently disconnecting the relationship. And the relevant forms ought not show ancestors in the field's widget to reduce the chances of this happening in the first place.)
This template tag finds FlatPages with urls 'similar' to the given request_path. It takes the request_path from the page_not_found view (django.views.defaults), picks it apart, and attempts to match existing FlatPages that have a 'similar' URL. For example, if the URL that resulted in a 404 was: /foo/bar/baz/whatever/ This tag would look for FlatPages whose URL starts with the following: /foo/bar/baz/whatever/ /foo/bar/baz/ /foo/bar/ /foo/
When called, this module dynamically alters the behaviour of model.save() on a list of models so that the SQL is returned and aggregated for a bulk commit later on. This is much faster than performing bulk writing operations using the standard model.save(). To use, simply save the code as django_bulk_save.py and replace this idiom: for m in model_list: # modify m ... m.save() # ouch with this one: from django_bulk_save import DeferredBucket deferred = DeferredBucket() for m in model_list: # modify m ... deferred.append(m) deferred.bulk_save() Notes: * - After performing a bulk_save(), the id's of the models do not get automatically updated, so code that depends on models having a pk (e.g. m2m assignments) will need to reload the objects via a queryset. * - post-save signal is not sent. see above. * - This code has not been thoroughly tested, and is not guaranteed (or recommended) for production use. * - It may stop working in newer django versions, or whenever django's model.save() related code gets updated in the future.
This will use the syslog system to log your logs. This is usefull when you use WSGI and want to have a per day logging file (TimedRotatingFileHandler is not process safe, and you may lose data when using it with WSGI). Under a debian system, you'll have to modify **/etc/rsyslog.conf** and add: local0.* -/var/log/django/django.log local1.* -/var/log/django/payment.log
a simple bad word filter. usage: {{ post.content|audit }}
usage: <div class="content_box" id="tests" style="background:#cfc"> {% load extra %} <p>{% get_current_time '%Y-%m-%d %I:%M %p' as the_current_time %}/{{ the_current_time }}</p> {% upper %} <p>this is a test.</p> {% endupper %} <p>{% a_current_time '%Y-%m-%d %I:%M %p' %}</p> {% post_for_member member %} </div>
Here my piece of code for managing users with WSGIAuthUserScript.
A simple template tag that returns the favicon URL for a given arbitrary URL. Put the code into a python module in the templatetags package of a Django app (e.g. myapp/templatetags/mytags.py), and use it like this: {% load mytags %} ... <img src="{% favicon posting.url %}/> <a href="{{ posting.url }}">{{posting.title}}</a> ...
This field is similar to the standard URLField, except it checks the given URL for a HTTP 301 response (permanent redirect) and updates its value accordingly. For example: >>> url = RedirectedURLField() >>> url.clean('http://www.twitter.com/') >>> 'http://twitter.com/' In models: class TestModel(models.Model): url1 = RedirectedURLField('Redirected URL') url2 = models.URLField('Standard URL')
For a model FK'd to a user or profile, you might want every instance of that thing to appear in your site and in the admin as say "Joe's bucketlist." But if Joe's name is Ross, you want "Ross' bucketlist", not "Ross's bucketlist."
Suitable for use with DecimalField. Handy for accurate timing input (think sports, racing etc.).
