Filtering foreignkey fields in django admin

Sometimes you need to filter foreignkey choices in admin interface, to objects created by user or meeting some other condition. In django 1.0 there is no formfield_for_foreignkey method in ModelAdmin class so we have to make a workaround. Here is the solution I have found to be the easiest for me.

Add GET parameters from current request

The tag generates a parameter string in form '?param1=val1&param2=val2'. The parameter list is generated by taking all parameters from current request.GET and optionally overriding them by providing parameters to the tag. This is a cleaned up version of http://djangosnippets.org/snippets/2105/. It solves a couple of issues, namely: * parameters are optional * parameters can have values from request, e.g. request.GET.foo * native parsing methods are used for better compatibility and readability * shorter tag name Usage: place this code in your appdir/templatetags/add_get_parameter.py In template: {% load add_get_parameter %} <a href="{% add_get param1='const' param2=variable_in_context %}"> Link with modified params </a> It's required that you have 'django.core.context_processors.request' in TEMPLATE_CONTEXT_PROCESSORS

pycallgraph

Simple debug middleware that uses [pycallgraph](http://pycallgraph.slowchop.com) to get a visual representation of the call graph, including number of calls and execution times. Usage: 1. Replace *myapp* in the snippet with the name of your application and or adjust include and exclude according to your needs 2. Add CallgraphMiddleware to your middlewares in settings.py 3. Append ?prof to any URL in your application to trigger the callgraph creation Each callgraph cerated will be named callgraph-*timestamp*.png. This is because multiple callgraphs will be created when a re-direction occurs for example.

Extended i18n base model

This snippet is an extension of [i18n base model for translatable content](http://djangosnippets.org/snippets/855/) so all the same usage applies. I have extended this module in several ways to make it more fully featured. * `I18NMixin` can be an additional (via multiple inheritance) or alternative superclass for your models juxtaposed with an `I18NModel`. * Adds a property `_` to access the appropriate I18NModel. `trans` aliases this (or rather vice versa) for template access. * In a call to `.filter` you can query on translated fields by wrapping those fields in a call to i18nQ. I like to import this as _ if I haven't already used that import. * A call to I18NFieldset will return an inline for use in the builtin admin app. I like to call this inline to the assignment to inlines. * If you need abstracted access to the I18N model from a model, I've added a property I18N referring to it. I've been using this with great convenience and stability.

LocaleMiddleware without browser language discovery

This snippet holds your Django project from automatically changing language of the page to the best fitting one by discovering the client browser language. I personally needed to show the page to the user for the first time in the default language (English), although there were some translations. User can still change the language (via session cookies). Insert this middleware BEFORE the Django's `django.middleware.locale.LocaleMiddleware` in settings.

I18n URLs via Middleware

This is an example middleware that is highly inspired by how Symfony handles [i18n in URLs](http://www.symfony-project.com/book/trunk/13-I18n-and-L10n#Changing the Culture for a User). You basically set a (?P<dj_culture>[\w-]+) pattern in your URL and this middleware will determine the language to use for the i18n toolkit for Django. It also removes the dj_culture parameter after dealing with it, so that you don't have to change all the views you want this middleware to work with.

HTTPS redirections middleware with updated URL template tag

This middleware redirects HTTP requests to HTTPS for some specified URLs, in the same way as [85](http://djangosnippets.org/snippets/85/). It also changes the `url` template tag to use the `https` scheme for the same URLs. For example, if you have the following URL pattern: url(r'^accounts/login/$', 'django.contrib.auth.views.login', {'https': True}) then the template: {% from future import url %} {% url 'django.contrib.auth.views.login' %} will render: https://host.example.com/accounts/login/ and any plain HTTP requests to /accounts/login get redirected to HTTPS. URL patterns not marked with `'https': True` remain unaffected. Notes: * The HttpRequest object must be present in the template context as `request`, so add `django.core.context_processors.request` to `TEMPLATE_CONTEXT_PROCESSORS` and make sure to use `RequestContext`. * This snippet overrides the existing `url` template tag. Remove the last line and register the new `url` function properly, as a separate tag, if this makes you unhappy. You'd then have to change your templates to use it. * It would be nicer to change the way reverse look-ups behave instead of changing only the `url` template tag, but the URL resolver, and the `reverse` function, know nothing about requests, so have no way to find the correct host name.

delete object from table in form

I had a difficult time understanding how to delete an item from a table within a template, using a modelform. I couldn't find a good example, so I wanted to post the code that ultimately worked.

upload handler decorators

In an admin custom view I had the requirement to modify the upload handlers. However, the @staff_member_required locked the Files upload handlers as it uses the request.POST - see [Ticket 7654](http://code.djangoproject.com/ticket/7654). These decorators can be used before other decorators to allow setting of the upload handlers. Usage example: @upload_handlers_insert(0, QuotaUploadHandler) @staff_member_required def upload(request): pass

Admin Image Widget

A FileField Widget that displays an image instead of a file path if the current file is an image. Could also be used with sorl.thumbnail to generate thumbnail images. **Example** class FileUploadForm(forms.ModelForm): upload = forms.FileField(widget=AdminThumbnailWidget) class Meta: model = FileUpload class FileUploadAdmin(admin.ModelAdmin): form = FileUploadForm admin.site.register(FileUpload, FileUploadAdmin)
