More flexible "Partial Template"

This is an extension of the snippet http://www.djangosnippets.org/snippets/1302/ to make it a bit more flexible and been able pass more than one parameter to our "Partial Template". To use it you can {% partial_template template_name param1:variable1 param2:variable2 ... %} or: {% partial_template partials/mini_template.html item:data1 var2:"False" var3:"2*2" %}

Read more link

I couldn't find any code for a blog-style "Read more after the jump," so I made a custom filter. It will look for **<!--more-->** for the jump, like in Wordpress. In **settings.py** set **READ_MORE_TEXT** to what you want the text of the link to be. `READ_MORE_TEXT = 'Read more after the jump.'` When you call the filter in your template, pass it the absolute link of that entry. Of course, you have to have your **get_absolute_url** function defined in your model, but you should have that already, right? :P In this example **entry.body** is the content of the blog entry. `{% load blog_filters %}` `{{ entry.body|read_more:entry.get_absolute_url }}` If anyone has a better way to do this, it is, of course, welcome.

Add GET parameter tag

This is custom tag I wrote for myself for solving situations when you have filter form and page numbers in the same page. You want to change ?page=.. or add it if it doesn't exist to save filter form data while moving through pages. Usage: place this code in your application_dir/templatetags/add_url_parameter.py In template: {% load add_get_parameter %} <a href="{% add_get_paramater param1='const_value',param2=variable_in_context %}"> Link with modified params </a> It's required that you have 'django.core.context_processors.request' in TEMPLATE_CONTEXT_PROCESSORS URL: [http://django.mar.lt/2010/07/add-get-parameter-tag.html](http://django.mar.lt/2010/07/add-get-parameter-tag.html)

Allow filtering and ordering by counts of related query results

I know you're thinking, *what the heck could that title mean?* I often find myself wanting to filter and order by the result of a COUNT(*) of a query using a method similar to the [entry_count example](http://www.djangoproject.com/documentation/db-api/#extra-select-none-where-none-params-none-tables-none). Writing this many times is tedious and hardcoding the table and column names made me cringe, I also wanted the counts to result from more complex queries. This is a method you can add to your custom Manager to do this easily. It's not an ideal syntax, but it's good for the amount of code required. Example: suppose we have some articles we want to filter and order by comments and visit logs to show the most popular... class ArticleManager(models.Manager): count_related = _count_related class Article(models.Model): pub_date = models.DateTimeField(auto_now_add=True) objects = ArticleManager() class Comment(models.Model): article = models.ForeignKey(Article) is_spam = models.BooleanField(default=False) class Visit(models.Model): article = models.ForeignKey(Article) referrer = models.URLField(verify_exists=False) search_query = models.CharField(maxlength=200) Notice how the ArticleManager is given the `count_related` method. Now you can find the most popular like so... Order by non-spam comments: Article.objects.count_related(Comment.objects.filter( is_spam=False)).order_by('-comment__count') Order by incoming non-search-engine links: Article.objects.count_related(Visit.objects.filter( referrer__isnull=False, search_query__isnull=True), 'links').order_by('-links') Order by total visits: Article.objects.count_related(Visit).order_by('-visit__count') Note: Doesn't work if `query` contains joins or for many-to-many relationships, but those could be made to work identically if there's demand.

Get most-commented objects

This is a pretty straightforward bit of code for getting the most-commented objects of a particular model; just drop it into a custom manager for that model, and you should be good to go. Check the docstring for how to make it look at `Comment` instead of `FreeComment`.

Create new variables in templates

Sometimes you want to create a temporal variable to store something or do anything you want with it, problem is that django template system doesn't provide this kind of feature. This template tag is just for that. Syntax:: {% assign [name] [value] %} This will create a context variable named [name] with a value of [value] [name] can be any identifier and [value] can be anything. If [value] is a callable, it will be called first and the returning result will be assigned to [name]. [value] can even be filtered. Example:: {% assign count 0 %} {% assign str "an string" %} {% assign number 10 %} {% assign list entry.get_related %} {% assign other_str "another"|capfirst %} {% ifequal count 0 %} ... {% endifequal %} {% ifequal str "an string" %} ... {% endifequal %} {% if list %} {% for item in list %} ... {% endfor %} {% endif %}

autotranslate po files using microsoft translator

This snippet is inspired by [dnordberg](http://djangosnippets.org/snippets/1048/) 's translation script which used google's translation script. But after google translation is no more free. I put together it to use microsoft translator's python wrapper by [openlab](https://github.com/openlabs/Microsoft-Translator-Python-API) usage ----- 1. get a bing appID from [here](https://ssl.bing.com/webmaster/developers/appids.aspx) and replace it on the top of script 2. sudo apt-get install translate-toolkit 3. sudo pip install microsofttranslator 4. sudo autotranslate.py [pofile] [sourcelangcode] [targetlangcode] Enjoy!!! **Prabhat Kumar Gupta** Python/Django Dev [http://www.prabhatgupta.com](http://www.prabhatgupta.com)

CustomQueryManager

A `models.Manager` subclass that helps to remove some of the boilerplate involved in creating managers from certain queries. Usually, a manager would be created by doing this: class MyManager(models.Manager): def get_query_set(self): return super(MyManager, self).get_query_set().filter(query=blah) Other managers may return other query sets, but this is especially useful as one may define queries on a table which would be used a lot. Since the only part that ever changes is the `query=blah` set of keyword arguments, I decided to abstract that into a class which, besides taking the repetition out of manager definition, allows them to be and'd and or'd in a manner similar to the `Q` objects used for complex database queries. `CustomQueryManager` instances may be defined in one of two ways. The first, more laborious but reusable manner, is to subclass it, like so: class MyManager(CustomQueryManager): query = Q(some=query) Then, `MyManager` is instantiated with no arguments on a model, like normal managers. This allows a query to be reused without extra typing and copying, and keeps code DRY. Another way to do this is to pass a `Q` object to the `__init__` method of the `CustomQueryManager` class itself, on the model. This would be done like so: class MyModel(models.Model): field1 = models.CharField(maxlength=100) field2 = models.PositiveIntegerField() my_mgr = CustomQueryManager(Q(field1='Hello, World')) This should mainly be used when a query is only used once, on a particular model. Either way, the definition of `__and__` and `__or__` methods on the `CustomQueryManager` class allow the use of the `&` and `|` operators on instances of the manager and on queries. For example: class Booking(models.Model): start_date = models.DateField() end_date = models.DateField() public = models.BooleanField() confirmed = models.BooleanField() public_bookings = CustomQueryManager(Q(public=True)) private_bookings = public_bookings.not_() confirmed_bookings = CustomQueryManager(Q(confirmed=True)) public_confirmed = public_bookings & confirmed_bookings public_unconfirmed = public_bookings & confirmed_bookings.not_() public_or_confirmed = public_bookings | confirmed_bookings public_past = public_bookings & Q(end_date__lt=models.LazyDate()) public_present = public_bookings & Q(start_date__lte=models.LazyDate(), end_date__gte=models.LazyDate()) public_future = public_bookings & Q(start_date__gt=models.LazyDate()) As you can see, `CustomQueryManager` instances can be manipulated much like `Q` objects, including combination, via `&` (and) and `|` (or), with other managers (currently only other `CustomQueryManager` instances) and even `Q` objects. This makes it easy to define a set of prepared queries on the set of data represented by a model, and removes a lot of the boilerplate of usual manager definition.

Bypass CSRF check for Facebook canvas apps using POST for canvas

This assumes that you have a method called **decode_signed_request** which will validate the signed_request parameter and return None if the validation check fails. A similar method can be found here - https://github.com/iplatform/pyFaceGraph/blob/70e456c79f1ac1c7eddece03af323346a00481ef/src/facegraph/canvas.py
