*WARNING* This is *extremely* slow. This snippet allows you to easily prevent *most* race conditions (if used properly). Feel free to extend on top of this as you like, I'd appreciate any comments to [email protected]
Used to check if a field of an object has changed. This is probably most useful in the save method.
An example of how to select the "default" database based on the request URL instead of the model. The basic idea is that the middleware `process_view` (or `process_request`) function sets some context from the URL into thread local storage, and `process_response` deletes it. In between, any database operation will call the router, which checks for this context and returns an appropriate database alias. In this snippet, it's assumed that any view in the system with a `cfg` keyword argument passed to it from the urlconf may be routed to a separate database. Take this urlconf for example: `url( r'^(?P<cfg>\w+)/account/$', 'views.account' )` The middleware and router will select a database whose alias is `<cfg>`, or "default" if none is listed in `settings.DATABASES`, all completely transparent to the view itself.
Tag that can be used as `${ tags.csrf_token() }` in mako templates. Remember to import the tags namespace in your template, as such: <%namespace name="tags" module="my_app.tags"/>
A fast way to implement an iPhone template switcher, especially if you have a lot of existing views using the render_to_response() shortcut. This checks for the iPhone browser and then modifies the chosen template by adding -mobile to the html's file name. Check out [this more complete list of user agents](http://minidetector.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/minidetector/tests/mobile_useragents.txt) if you need to detect specific mobile devices.
http://github.com/coleifer/django-generic-aggregation http://charlesleifer.com/blog/generating-aggregate-data-across-generic-relations/ Generate and calculate aggregations across generic foreign keys. >>> from misc import generic_annotate, generic_aggregate >>> from blog.models import Entry >>> from tagging.models import TaggedItem >>> from django.db.models import Count >>> qs = generic_annotate(Entry.objects.all(), TaggedItem.object, 'id', Count) >>> qs[0].score 5L >>> qs[1].score 4L >>> qs[1].tags u'databases django many-to-many python' >>> generic_aggregate(Entry.objects.all(), TaggedItem.object, 'id', Count) 106L # total number of times entries were tagged
Middleware class that checks the user agent against a known list of strings found in mobile devices, and if matched it then tries to determine the name of the template being rendered based on the convention of having every view use a keyword arg called "template". It then adds "mobile" to the template name and if the mobile template exists, it will override the "template" arg for the view with the mobile template name.
Module for showing OneToOne fields as inline in django-admin.
Small hack to inherit region content from the translated object. code should be placed in models.py, where the Page object is created. use feincms version 1.1.2 and above
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.
Put this decorator on any function to capture any exceptions generated within and print to a stack trace. example: @catch def my_func(): # code that may raise an exception here
A simple decorator to register a template.Node object as a tag, without the need to write the usual "`token.split_contents()` yatta yatta blatta blatta" function. The decorator should be called with the name of the tag, and an optional `required` named argument in case your tag requires a minimum number of arguments. Please note that all the arguments in the templatetag call will be passed to the node (except the templatetag name and the `for` and `as` keywords) in the order given. Suggestions etc are very welcome, of course =)
I recently needed an easy way to add different input types to form fields based on the type of input. So, I created a widgets.py file and added varying input classes to meet my needs.
I needed a way to validate non-required, dynamically generated form fields, and clean provided the best solution for this problem.
My first snippet ;] It's a simple inclusion tag for filtering a list of objects by a first letter using [django-filter](http://github.com/alex/django-filter) after having this "installed" you can use it in your template like this: {% load my_tags %} <div class="letter_filter"> Filter by first letter: {% letters_filter "MyNiceModel" %} </div> for information how to use django-filter in your view go to [docs](http://github.com/alex/django-filter/blob/master/docs/usage.txt) you should probably cache this inclusion tag since it makes 45 queries to the db (.count() > 0) Enjoy and improve ;] PS. some parts of this code are in Polish
