Automatically expose soaplib methods in WSDL

This snippet is a replacement views.py for [SOAP views with on-demand WSDL generation](http://www.djangosnippets.org/snippets/979/) It iterates over your installed apps looking for web_service.py in each one, any methods decorated with @soapmethod within web_service.py will automatically be imported into the local namespace making them visible in the WSDL. It will blindly override local objects of the same name so it's not very safe (could do with some more error checks) but it works very well.

Decorator to modify reverse() to render SSL urls

This snippet monkey-patches Django's reverse() method (use for generating URLs from vew functions and parameters) to allow certain areas of your site to automatically have URLs with the correct SSL domain in place. This saves you from having to use unnecessary redirects to guide users to an SSL-encrypted version of a page. This should still be used alongside a redirect-based method (such as [this snippet](http://www.djangosnippets.org/snippets/85/)) to ensure that the user can't access an unencrypted version of the page Simply add the code to the files mentioned in the code. This obviously won't work anywhere that doesn't use reverse(), the admin app seems to be an example of this.

Yet another list partitioning filter

A simple template filter for breaking a list into sublists of a given length, you might use this on an ecommerce product grid where you want an arbitrary number of rows of fixed columns. Unlike the other partitioning filters I've seen, this doesn't try to distribute the rows evenly, instead it fills each row for moving onto the next. This filter preserves the ordering of the input list.

Redirect with change list with filters intact with admin actions

When using the django admin as a means of moderating reviews on a site, the obvious choice was to use admin actions and do everything from a single screen. The I stumbled across was that after the actions were peformed, the app redirected to the change list without any filters. This meant that filtering on un-moderated reviews was lost as soon as a change was made. It turns out that the solution is pretty simple, you just put a redirect to request.get_full_path() at the end of the admin action. I think this should be the default behaviour, but the fix is simple nonetheless.
