Validation for 'unique' and 'unique_together' constraints (different version)

This is a slightly different and extendend version of this snippet: http://www.djangosnippets.org/snippets/260/ Unique constraints for single fields are validated in a clean_FIELD, instead of globally in the form's clean() method, so that the error messages are correctly assigned to each field. Additionally, you can specify mappings for unique_together constraints to assign those error messages to a specific field as well (instead of having them in non_field_errors(), where they would normally be.

Repeat blocks with new context / simple Jinja-like macro system

A simple macro system that makes it possible to reuse previously defined blocks, optionally with a custom context, similar to the macro functionality in Jinja. It requires some workarounds/hacks because we cannot reach all the data from inside the django template system that we need, but it seems to work pretty well so far. It is, however, also pretty untested at this point, so use at your own risk. Examples: base.html: <!-- This is mandatory if you want to use the repeat-tag in a template. It should as placed as earily as possible. See below for how to mix with template inheritance. --> {% enablemacros %} <!-- Note that {{ param }} does not exist. --> {% block foo %} A standard django block that will be written to the output. {% if param %}{{ param }}{% endif %} {% endblock %} {% macro bar %} Pretty much the same thing as a django block (can even be overridden via template inheritance), but it's content will NOT be rendered per default. Please note that it ends with ENDBLOCK! {% if param %}{{ param }}{% endif %} {% endblock %} <!-- Render foo for the second time --> {% repeat foo %} <!-- Render foo bar the first time --> {% repeat bar %} <!-- Render both blocks again, and pass a parameter --> {% repeat foo with "Hello World" as param %} {% repeat bar with "Hello World" as param %} {% macro form %}do stuff with: {{ form }}{% endblock %} {% for form in all_forms %} {% repeat display %} <!-- will have access to {{ form }} {% endfor %} extend.html: <!-- {% extends %} requires that it be the first thing in a template, and if it is, everything except for block tags is ignored, so {% enablemacros %} won't work. Instead, use: --> {% extends_with_macros 'base.html' %} {% block foo %} Will override "foo" in base.html {% endblock %} {% block bar %} Will override the macro block "bar" in base.html. Whether this is defined as block or macro doesn't matter. {% endblock %} Todo: * This (both tags used) results in infinite recursion: {% extends_with_macros "somefile" %}{% enablemacros %}

Yet another SQL debugging facility

Inspired by http://www.djangosnippets.org/snippets/159/ This context processor provides a new variable {{ sqldebug }}, which can be used as follows: {% if sqldebug %}...{% endif %} {% if sqldebug.enabled %}...{% endif %} This checks settings.SQL_DEBUG and settings.DEBUG. Both need to be True, otherwise the above will evaluate to False and sql debugging is considered to be disabled. {{ sqldebug }} This prints basic information like total number of queries and total time. {{ sqldebug.time }}, {{ sqldebug.queries.count }} Both pieces of data can be accessed manually as well. {{ sqldebug.queries }} Lists all queries as LI elements. {% for q in sqldebug.queries %} <li>{{ q.time }}: {{ q }}</li> {% endfor %} Queries can be iterated as well. The query is automatically escaped and contains <wbr> tags to improve display of long queries. You can use {{ q.sql }} to access the unmodified, raw query string. Here's a more complex example. It the snippet from: http://www.djangosnippets.org/snippets/93/ adjusted for this context processor. {% if sqldebug %} <div id="debug"> <p> {{ sqldebug.queries.count }} Quer{{ sqldebug.queries|pluralize:"y,ies" }}, {{ sqldebug.time }} seconds {% ifnotequal sql_queries|length 0 %} (<span style="cursor: pointer;" onclick="var s=document.getElementById('debugQueryTable').style;s.display=s.display=='none'?'':'none';this.innerHTML=this.innerHTML=='Show'?'Hide':'Show';">Show</span>) {% endifnotequal %} </p> <table id="debugQueryTable" style="display: none;"> <col width="1"></col> <col></col> <col width="1"></col> <thead> <tr> <th scope="col">#</th> <th scope="col">SQL</th> <th scope="col">Time</th> </tr> </thead> <tbody> {% for query in sqldebug.queries %}<tr class="{% cycle odd,even %}"> <td>{{ forloop.counter }}</td> <td>{{ query }}</td> <td>{{ query.time }}</td> </tr>{% endfor %} </tbody> </table> </div> {% endif %}

filter/search a newforms select widget

Adds a filter input above a select widget that allows live-filtering on the client-side (no ajax) in Firefox. Example: make_fields_searchable(ModelItemForm, { 'publisher': {'set_size': 8}, 'developer': {'set_size': 8}, 'genre': {}, 'platform': {} })

Automatically trim newforms text fields

Makes sure the value a user entered into a a text-based field is automatically trimmed during form cleaning / validation. The 'field' parameter is expected to be a newforms.fields.Field _instance_.Only modifies str and unicode descending values, and passes everything else on untouched. Example: form = form_for_model(Person) make_trimming(form.fields['name'])

Passing values to a method from a template

A simple trick to let a function be called with exactly ONE argument from a Django template, by passing it via an attribute. Example: class SearchResult(object): @template_callable def highlighted(self, field): return self._xappy_result.highlight(field) result = SearchResult() result.highlighted.title {{ result.highlighted.title }}
