Helper function which adds some niceties to the auth/user admin views. Needs django 1.2 to work. ### Usage Define a UserProfile class and set `AUTH_PROFILE_MODULE` as per the [django docs](http://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/topics/auth/#storing-additional-information-about-users) In your admin.py file (or anywhere else) add the following: from models import UserProfile from [path to snippet] import upgrade_user_admin upgrade_user_admin(UserProfile)
This is an adaption of [django.forms.extras.widgets.SelectDateWidget](http://code.djangoproject.com/browser/django/trunk/django/forms/extras/widgets.py#L16) which has no day dropdown - it still produces a date but with the day set to 1. Example use class myForm(forms.Form): # ... date = forms.DateField( required=False, widget=MonthYearWidget(years=xrange(2004,2010)) )
This tag is designed to facilitate pagination in the case where both the page number and other parameters (eg. search criteria) are passed via GET. It takes one argument - a dictionary of GET variables to be added to the current url Example usage: {% for page_num in results.paginator.page_range %} <a href="{% append_to_get p=page_num %}">{{ page_num }}</a> {% endfor %} Note that the passed arguments are evaluated within the template context.
If, like me, you've had trouble installing the [Python Imaging Library](http://www.pythonware.com/products/pil/) or [FreeType](http://freetype.sourceforge.org), you may have also had trouble getting a captcha to work. Here's my quick and dirty workaround — be warned, this is _very_ low level security, and shouldn't be used on high-profile sites. Originally published at <http://gregbrown.co.nz/code/django-captcha-without-freetype-or-pil/> Credit to the author of [django-simple-captcha](http://code.google.com/p/django-simple-captcha/), from whom I borrowed most of this code. ### Usage from django import forms from ABOVE-FILE import CaptchaField class CaptchaTestForm(forms.Form): myfield = forms.TextField() security_check = CaptchaField()
