This snippet is used to create a script for monitoring sphinx status with Nagios via [django-sphinx](http://code.google.com/p/django-sphinx/). It returns 0 (OK) or 2 (CRITICAL). Remember to change this strings `ModelToMonitor` and `app_name`. Usage : `./manage your-controls-command --log` > /your/script/name.py

I often write short test or development scripts that are intended as one-offs. I typically want to execute these scripts from the command line but am always forgetting the necessary steps to set up the Django environment [as described here][bennett]. This snippet allows you execute arbitrary Python scripts from the command line with the context of a given project: python manage.py execfile /path/to/some/script.py Add the code to a file named `execfile.py` within the `management/commands` directory of one of your apps ([see here][ref] for details).

Just easier for me to use this. Put in app/management/commands and run python manage.py reset_db to start from afresh then do a sync.
This is useful especially during the model-creation stage, when things are in constant flux. The `freshdb` command will drop the project's database, then create a new one. A common use case: manage.py freshdb manage.py syncdb
! Note - no longer needed Save this script in the same directory as manage.py and run it through the command line. It picks up project Command class instances. Something that will hopefully be fixed in the Django SVN version soon. Heres an example of a command: #utils/management/commands/sqlallall.py from django.core.management import call_command from django.core.management.base import BaseCommand from django.db import models class Command(BaseCommand): help = "Returns sqlall for all installed apps." def handle(self, *args, **options): """ Returns sqlall for all installed apps. """ for app in models.get_apps(): call_command("sqlall", app.__name__.split(".")[-2])
A simple view used to manage the page cache stored in the database (here Postgresql in the django_cache table, you also have to set correctly CACHE_TABLE_OID, by the OID of the cache table (you can get it in PgAdmin)
Uses jsmin or jspacker to compact javascript files (usage example in [this blog post](http://pedro.valelima.com/blog/2008/jan/17/deploying-compacted-javascript-django/))
This management command updates country and city Geolite databases from Maxmind (binary databases, not CSV ones), for use with Django's builtin Geoip utilities.

If you need to customize many default templates from installed apps, this management command will help you to find those templates and to copy them to desired location. Place this code at: management/commands/templates.py To see a list of installed templates, run: python manage.py templates To copy all templates to specified location: python manage.py templates --copy-to ./templates To copy templates from specified applications only: python manage.py templates admin auth --copy-to ./templates
Add fcgi to settings.INSTALLED_APPS then you can start and stop FCGI through manage.py >python manage.py startfcgi >python manage.py stopfcgi In settings define runfcgi arguments using **FCGI_*** in settings For example: >FCGI_SOCKET='/var/tmp/project.sock' >FCGI_PIDFILE='/var/run/project.pid' One of **FCGI_SOCKET** or **FCGI_HOST**/**FCGI_PORT** will need to be defined, but if you forget they will error out. **FCGI_PIDFILE** is required to be defined to allow the process to be terminated.
