Forces admin site to use your custom login. Very useful when using RemoteUserBackend. See [here](http://djangosnippets.org/snippets/2128/) for a use case.
See [link](http://www.djangosnippets.org/snippets/2005/) for description. Note: Requires Django 1.2.
Add a Save and view next button to your admin change form. Put the code at [link](http://www.djangosnippets.org/snippets/2006/) in a file called myapp/templates/admin/myapp/change_form.html Note: Requires Django 1.2.
Adds a View Link button next to the field that opens the contents of the field in a new window.
A project I'm working on requires multiple different classes of users, all with different fields/attributes. Having a single UserProfile class with a generic relation was a complete pain in practice. So, I changed my classes to all subclass User directly and then used django-model-utils to create a custom ModelBackend that returns the appropriate class when accessing request.user. The InheritanceQuerySet manager provided by django-model-utils makes it all possible and with only a single database query. No need to add anything directly to the User class, by the way. Just subclass it directly with each of your custom classes: class CustomUser1(User): field1 = models.CharField(...) class CustomUser2(User): field2 = models.CharField(...)
Equivalent to urllib.urlencode but works with unicode strings.
Point '^accounts/login/$' or whatever your custom login path is to the 'negotiate_ntlm' view. This allows you to keep anonymous authentication enabled on IIS and easily lock down just the parts of the site you need to (e.g. [admin](http://djangosnippets.org/snippets/2127/)).
