Mixin to support pagination when randomizing querysets. Requirements: Postgres, Django Sessions Note: This shouldn't be used on large complex datasets. It utilizes the relatively slow method of '?' randomized sorting. Use with caution. Todo: MySQL support, Support for larger datasets
I've reimplemented the code I found somewhere on the web within my models file. The earlier version was incapable of converting all formats to JPG while this code converts all formats and compresses all of them successfully.
I am used to load forms directly into modals using dajax but I found out I had to load the scripts using an ajax call from the browser. You can see here an example of a dynamically loaded form and the function used to load the scripts.
Sometimes you need to make redirects that involve domains, you can't define those on the site urls, this middleware lets you define multiple redirects on your site settings. Note: *You also can use the web server to do this, but I have found this middleware a useful tool to quickly or temporarily define redirects*. Depending on your needs you may also find useful [snippet 434](http://www.djangosnippets.org/snippets/434/).
A Django Template tag used to construct urls with current querystring parameters. This is based on some code that I've written some years ago. Enjoy.
This is a simple django snippet! It is the *opposite of @login_required* decorator for Django views Example **@not_login_required** ``` def login_page(request): ... ```
A variant of https://djangosnippets.org/snippets/2850/ that allows expensive calls to be deferred to an asynchronous process.
As Simon Willison mentions in his [Debugging Django](http://simonwillison.net/2008/May/22/debugging/) presentation, using the Test Client in the interpreter can be a great way to take a peek at the raw results from a view. In some cases you may need to add additional headers to the request (for instance a piece of middleware may rely on them). Though it is not mentioned in the reference documentation, a quick peek at the code confirmed my hopes that it would be possible to add data to the request. The Client *get* and *post* methods both accept an **extra** kwargs parameter that allow you to populate the request with additional data.
Obfuscate javascript strings. * Convert * `{{'Pita Hummus'|js_obfuscate_string}}` * to something like * `'P4itzga Hnumg7mubs'.replace(/[4zgn7b]/g,'')` Making it hard to text-search for strings in your code.
Who never wished to have valid address data by showing a little google map with a marker near the address input text ? Using js only it gets quite easy.
If you want to modify the length of a column of a contrib application, you can either modify django (cumbersome) or you can run a post_syncdb signal hook. Related: [Ticket 4748](http://code.djangoproject.com/ticket/4748)
I needed to create a feature for administrators to create accounts and email the *new account was created* email using a button. Remember to change the default template and subject to match your needs. The code is directly taken from `django.contrib.auth.forms.PasswordResetForm.save()`. Notice that the function raises `ValueError` if the user is missing an email address.
This creates a fixture in the form of a python script. Handles: 1. `ForeignKey` and `ManyToManyField`s (using python variables, not IDs) 2. Self-referencing `ForeignKey` (and M2M) fields 3. Sub-classed models 4. `ContentType` fields 5. Recursive references 6. `AutoField`s are excluded 7. Parent models are only included when no other child model links to it There are a few benefits to this: 1. edit script to create 1,000s of generated entries using `for` loops, python modules etc. 2. little drama with model evolution: foreign keys handled naturally without IDs, new and removed columns are ignored The [runscript command by poelzi](http://code.djangoproject.com/ticket/6243), complements this command very nicely! e.g. $ ./manage.py dumpscript appname > scripts/testdata.py $ ./manage.py reset appname $ ./manage.py runscript testdata
If you're like me, you've got a models with a lot of fields/foreignkeys and often only want to edit a portion of the model in a form. Add this method to your custom form class and use it in place of the save() method.
This is hardcoded to use [django-discover-runner](http://pypi.python.org/pypi/django-discover-runner) since that's my main test runner but could easily be adopted to use Django's own test runner. If you're using a terminal that is capable of showing 256 colors use the `Terminal256Formatter` formatter instead. Enabled it with the `TEST_RUNNER` setting: TEST_RUNNER = 'dotted.path.to.highlighted.runner.HighlightedDiscoverRunner' Where `dotted.path.to.highlighted.runner` is the Python import path of the file you saved the runner in.
