Handles exceptions from AJAX code, giving more useful errors and tracebacks. (By the way, all these new snippets are extracts from [django-webapp](http://code.google.com/p/django-webapp/).) This exact code is not well tested, but it's refactored from some code we use in production.
* Include `__metaclass__ = user_lock` to your ModelAdmin class * Add `__target__ = path_to_user_field` somewhere in the ModelAdmin * done! `__target__` is what will be used in the `filter` call. examples `'user'` or `'author'` or `'message__user'` e.t.c. The result of `__target__` is the field that is then checked against `request.user`

Check a condition (in this example only equality) on every queryset item in a django form
If you request static files such as images, javascript or css using http rather than https, the browser will complain that your site is not secure. This simple context processor will replace http:// with https:// in your MEDIA_URL if your static files are being included from an https page. In your settings.py just replace 'django.core.context_processors.media' with your new context processor.
Here's the python code to produce an admin related widget with the edit and delete link also. * [RelatedFieldWidgetWrapper](http://djangosnippets.org/snippets/2562) * [related-widget-wrapper.html](http://djangosnippets.org/snippets/2563) * [related-widget-wrapper.js](http://djangosnippets.org/snippets/2564) * [RelatedWidgetWrapperAdmin](http://djangosnippets.org/snippets/2565)
Given a youtube url (can copy and paste right from the browser) turns the url into an embedded video. If you put this in your app's templatetags/filters.py, you can do the following >{{ object.youtube_url|youtube }} and it would embed the youtube video.
Have you ever wanted a decorator that you could apply either straight-out: @mydec def myfun(...): ... or with special arguments: @mydec(special=foo) def myfun(...): ... ? Well, decorate it with this metadecorator, and voila. (I had this idea independently, but it's been done before as decorator_withargs: http://osdir.com/ml/python.ideas/2008-01/msg00048.html. My version is actually useful because it deals with signatures and calling directly.) As http://www.siafoo.net/article/68 points out, the standard decorator module has too much magic: the "@decorator" decorator expects a wrapping function, not a working decorator. This module fixes that.
Template tag to convert number of seconds into mm:ss format
Small usability feature to show one number of additional formsets for new object & another for created.
This subclass of django.models.Field stores a python datetime.timedelta object as an integer column in the database. It includes a TimedeltaFormField for editing it through djangos admin interface. Feedback welcome. 2011-04-20: TimedeltaField can now be (de)serialized. Tested with JSON. 2009-11-23: `_has_changed()` added. Before form.changed_data contained timedelta FormFields, even if nothing changed.
I find Django's default YAML serializer output too repetitive, so I came up with this customized version that avoids outputting the model name for every single object, and makes the primary key into an index for the object's fields. This allows many simple model instances to be serialized as one-liners. See the module docstring for additional explanation and usage notes.
