Snippet List
sort_by_id_sequence
I needed to sort a set of objects (a QuerySet for example) by an externally provided list of IDs - for example: >>> writers = Writer.objects.all() >>> sort_by_id_sequence(writers, [3, 1, 2]) [<Writer id: 3>, <Writer id: 1>, <Writer id: 2>]

NoDoubleSlashes middleware
I needed this to work around a poorly configured redirecting service.

DebugFooter middleware
Adds a hidden footer to the bottom of every text/html page containing a list of SQL queries executed and templates that were loaded (including their full filesystem path to help debug complex template loading scenarios). To use, drop in to a file called 'debug_middleware.py' on your Python path and add 'debug_middleware.DebugFooter' to your MIDDLEWARE_CLASSES setting.

multiblog - a simple example of row-level permissions in the admin
From my talk this morning at PyCon UK 2008: a very simple multiple user blog model with an admin interface configured to only allow people to edit or delete entries that they have created themselves, unless they are a super user.

Date/time util template filters
**Explanations:** - the series "is_*_of" was created 'cos it's easier write: `{% if 10|is_day_of:date and user %}` than write: `{% ifequal date.day 10 %}{% if user %}...` - the series "inc/dec" is not complete, but can the extended to day, hour, minute, etc as you needs. It's util to inc 10 months since 05/31/2006 by example and get a 2007's date :) **Setup:** Insert the snippet into an_app/templatetags/datetimeutils.py. **Use in template:** `{% load datetimeutils %}` and use filters as following: - `{{ 30|is_day_of:a_date_time_variable }}` - `{{ 11|is_month_of:a_date_time_variable }}` - `{{ 2006|is_year_of:a_date_time_variable }}` - `{{ 58|is_minute_of:a_date_time_variable }}` - `{{ 23|is_hour_of:a_date_time_variable }}` - `{{ a_date_time_variable|dec_year:2 }}` - `{{ a_date_time_variable|dec_month:2 }}` - `{{ a_date_time_variable|inc_year:2 }}` - `{{ a_date_time_variable|inc_month:2 }}`

Template filters utils
**Explanation:** That template filters is util for combine boolean-return conditions using template tag `{% if %}`. **Setup:** Insert the snippet into an_app/templatetags/myutils.py. **Use in template:** {% load myutils %} and use filters as following: - `{% if 10|is_multiple_of:5 %}` - `{% if 10|in_list:a_list_variable %}` - `{% if user.username|is_equal:a_variable %}` - `{% if user.username|is_not_equal:a_variable %}` - `{% if a_variable_|is_lt:5 %}` - `{% if a_variable_|is_lte:5 %}` - `{% if a_variable_|is_gt:5 %}` - `{% if a_variable_|is_gte:5 %}`

Template Filter attr
You can add this code to a file named "field_attrs.py" in a templatetags folder inside an application. To use it, remember to load the file with the following template tag: {% load field_attrs %} And for each field you want to change the widget's attr: {{ form.phone|attr:"style=width:143px;background-color:yellow"|attr:"size=30" }}

User post_save signal to auto create 'admin' profile
**How to use:** 1. puts this code at the end of the `models.py` file who haves the User Profile class declared; 2. verify if your User Profile class has the name 'UserProfile'. If not, change the code to the right name. **About:** this snippet makes the ORM create a profile each time an user is created (or updated, if the user profile lost), including 'admin' user.
- admin
- user
- userprofile
SectionedForm
Sometimes we need divide forms in fieldsets, but this make us declare all fields in HTML template manually. This class is to help you to do this by a easy way. **How to use** First, download this file as name "sectioned_form.py" Later, turn your form inherited from the class **SectionedForm**, override method "_html_output" and declare fieldsets and fieldset_template attribute, like below: from sectioned_form import SectionedForm class MyForm(forms.ModelForm, SectionedForm): fieldsets = ( (None, ('name','age','date')), (_('Documents'), ('number','doc_id')), ) fieldset_template = "<h2>%s</h2>" def _html_output(self, *args, **kwargs): return SectionedForm._html_output(self, *args, **kwargs)

Clear FileField/ImageField files in the Admin
The widget for FileField and ImageField has a problem: it doesn't supports clear its value and it doesn't delete the old file when you replace it for a new one. This is a solution for this. It is just for Admin, but you can make changes to be compatible with common forms. The jQuery code will put an **<input type="checkbox">** tag next to every **<input type="file">** and user can check it to clear the field value. When a user just replace the current file for a new one, the old file will be deleted.

Real shuffle function
This function solve the issue of random.shuffle that is based only on randomized shuffling (that's not a real shuffling, because many times items returned aren't shuffled enough). This function make a randomized shuffle and after this loops long the list resorting to avoid two items with a same value in a given attribute. When shuffling is over and there are duplicates, they are leftover to the end (and you can remove them if you set 'remove_duplicates' to True) Run it in a separated file to see it in action.

PermanentRedirectMiddleware
This is a simple middleware that redirects the exactly URL requested with the correct domain. It is useful when you have more than one domain (most of cases with "www." or IP) to access a website. To make it works, download the snippet file as the name "permanent_redirect.py" and add its path as the first item in MIDDLEWARE_CLASSES setting in settings.py. Later you must inform a setting called `HTTP_HOST_DOMAIN` with the correct domain.

RequestFactory: Easily create mock request objects, for use in testing
Django's testing framework assumes you will be running your tests against "live" views that have been plugged in to your site's URL configuration - but sometimes you might want to run a test against a view function without first wiring it in to the rest of the site. This class makes it easy to do that by providing a "factory" for creating mock request objects, re-using the existing test Client interface (and most of the code). Once you've created a request object in your test you can use it to call your view functions directly, then run assertions against the response object that gets returned.

Switch/case tags.
Meant mostly as a demo of how to do complex block tags, here's a switch/case implementation. It's deliberately simplistic: no default cases, no multiple values for the same case, etc. This is so that you can focus on the technique. Pay particular attention to how both switch and case pull out their child nodes and save them for later rendering. This is a very useful technique for these types of "structured" template tags.
