By using this simple wrapper instead of Django's default send_mail function, you gain the peace of mind of knowing that when settings.DEBUG == True, all the emails will be sent to you instead of the original recipient. Handy for testing.
Add this to any admin changelist and your actions drop-down will be replaced with user-friendly buttons. Why mess around with templates and subclassing admin classes when you can just mangle the page with jQuery! ;-) It also adds a 'select all' label to explain the mystery top check-box (well it was a mystery to several of my clients). The line "if ($('div.actions option:gt(0)').length<=8)" checks that there aren't more than 8 actions and falls back to the drop-down if there are. Requires jQuery to be loaded.
Suitable for use with DecimalField. Handy for accurate timing input (think sports, racing etc.).
in this case the 'render_template' decorator assumes there is a myview.html template. this keeps things simple and you DRY. Hope it helps. Regards, Paul
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."
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')
Accepts the same arguments as the 'range' builtin and creates a list containing the result of 'range'. Syntax: {% mkrange [start,] stop[, step] as context_name %} For example: {% mkrange 5 10 2 as some_range %} {% for i in some_range %} {{ i }}: Something I want to repeat\n {% endfor %} Produces: 5: Something I want to repeat 7: Something I want to repeat 9: Something I want to repeat
A general AntiSpamForm using some tricks to prevent spam based on current [django.contrib.comments.forms](http://code.djangoproject.com/browser/django/trunk/django/contrib/comments/forms.py). It uses a timestamp, a security hash and a honeypot field. See [AntiSpamModelForm](http://www.djangosnippets.org/snippets/1856/) too.
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> ...
Decorator for views that need confirmation page. For example, delete object view. Decorated view renders confirmation page defined by template 'template_name'. If request.POST contains confirmation key, defined by 'key' parameter, then original view is executed. Context for confirmation page is created by function 'context_creator', which accepts same arguments as decorated view.
I never found a good snippet or tutorial to get the app_list (in django.admin) on other pages except the index page. So i started asking on irc j00bar has given me a very nice answer, but first i didn't know what to do with it till now. Anyways this snippet is very handy for the people who wants this but don't know how to get it. This is special made for the django version 1.1 Installation is quite easy, it is a context processor, so download this file put anywhere in your project, i got it in a app called cms_theme (theme and template related stuff.) and put the location in your settings.py file, example: `TEMPLATE_CONTEXT_PROCESSORS = ( 'django.core.context_processors.auth', 'django.core.context_processors.debug', 'django.core.context_processors.i18n', 'django.core.context_processors.media', 'django.core.context_processors.request', '****cms.cms_themes.context_processors.theme', '****cms.cms_themes.context_processors.applist', )` The '****' stuff is nothing, i replaced my company name with it. Of course you may put the context processor anywhere else, that is your choice. Good luck! Alexander
