good eye andym, thanks for the help

@neokeats, the admin manager can be replaced

i think

NeoKeats: now, that's not going to be terribly helpful to being with because managers essentially do one thing: build a queryset with the model they're managing, and pass through any methods called on them to this queryset

NeoKeats: and as i've said several times now, QuerySet.delete doesn't use query.connection

NeoKeats: so even if your manager is being used, it's not going to make any difference

ok i see

so what you would need to do is write a custom QuerySet class for your manager to return

rozwell: so no solution...

NeoKeats: there is a solution, just not one you want to hear

rozwell: not using multidb ? or wait for branches multidb to be done (if not abandonned like before)

?

and the solution is to fix up all the places where the ORM assumes you want to use the global connection

I'm using an ImageField in a model, but setting the image file value from a script outside of the django app. Is there a function I can call to make Django update the height/width values for the image in the database?

well you're going to have to wait or write your own solution

pm2: it already does

rozwell: it's not doing that for me....

when using {% url foo %} in templates, how can have be a variable and not a constant?

rozwell: the image file is getting set from a 3rd party script, not anything that's being executed as part of the web app

pm2: it doesn't matter

rozwell: (-: my actual solution didn't break django so i can still update it... i was thinking i could manage to keep it that way

sorry, when using {% url foo %} in templates, how can have FOO be a variable and not a constant?

pm2: if you save the model instance, the height and width fields should definitely get updated

rozwell: well... its not happening for me...

NeoKeats: you could, but you're going to have to throw away contrib/3rd party stuff that you want to use something other than the global connection

pm2: then you could try manually saving the file

rozwell: let me try a few things....

pm2: saving the file attribute will update the image fields

pm2: err image dimension fields

rozwell: let me paste a snippet of my models.py file somewhere... maybe I have it setup wrong

rozwell: http://dpaste.com/62674/ -- thumb_file is the field in question - does it look like I have it setup correctly at least?

looks fine

use CATION!

Why is it always late at night when you get creative at coding?

SmileyChris: well, fixed one bug anyway ;-)

Dyresen: who says it is

rozwell: then I'm pretty confused here...

Dyresen: Maybe because the temperature gets under 20

rozwell: I'm excluding the height/width fields from the admin interface, that shouldn't make a difference, right?

zephid: could be, it's freaking hot here these days.

pm2: what version of django are you using?

pm2: and how is the field being updated?

is it possible to have the {% url name %} name be a variable instead of a constant?

Dyresen: Same here, the temperature has been over 27 here in Denmark in the paste 6 days

pm2: i think tehy are supposed to be strings

pm2: looks like it according to source

belred: nope

rozwell: django 1.0, field is being updated from a script. Basically, my project is to allow users to upload video files. I have a cron script that runs to convert the video files to .flv format. This script also creates a thumbnail image. This script is what updates the database with the thumbnail file

pm2: i know it's a script, i'm asking how the code actually goes about updating it

pm2: does it use the ORM?

rozwell: yes, I just import the django ORM

belred: no

pm2: it looks to be the case that this doesn't quite work right under django 1.0

someone made a django gedit theme! sweet!

:D

pm2: did you read my message?

django has a theme?

SmileyChris: yeah, I updated that, still have problems

ejv: django has themes?

rozwell: django seems to sport the green irish colors lol http://code.djangoproject.com/wiki/gedit

rozwell: you want a look at my script? maybe that will shed some light on it? I tried uploading the thumbnail image through the admin interface and everything was uploaded correctly...

I mean *updated* correctly

pm2: looking at the source i don't see the fieldfile getting saved except when it's done through a form

pm2: this is not the case in trunk

so I should update

?

that's one possibility

or you could save the fieldfile data directly

as that's what updates the dimension fields

rozwell: so just calculate the height/width manually and save it manually?

Does anyone know how to force a {% blocktrans %} tag to do a specific language besides LANGUAGE_CODE only for one blocktrans? Here's what I have already http://codepad.org/dwIFNuv4, it would be cool if I could get what's at the bottom.

pm2: no

pm2: model_instance.my_image_field.save()

rozwell: ah - i see - I'll give that a try

wouldn't model_instance.my_image_field.update_dimension_fields() then model_instance.save() be enough?

assuming that's not a trunkism

well that's a trunkism

when using @login_required does it affect all the views in views.py ?

benc1: if it's been applied to all the views in a views.py

Hi all. I'm trying to fix this problem with Apache and python-eggs: http://jjinux.blogspot.com/2008/10/python-permi... If I create a new user, how do I make my app work as that user? Thank you.

rozwell: in the docs there is an example for using it outside of the view function.

benc1: and what does it say about it there?

rozwell: can't see anything.

benc1: then what's the problem?

rozwell: when using login_required they are putting it inside the function but when using @login_required the put it outside

benc1: i don't think they ever put it "inside the function"

rozwell: I want to limit access for all the functions in my views.py

benc1: are you talking about the 2.4 decorator syntax differences?

benc1: then apply login_required to all of them, or write a middleware

rozwell: how do I apply @login_required to all of them?

benc1: you put that in front of each view function definition

rozwell: so here it will only affect my_view ? http://dpaste.com/62680/

benc1: yes

rozwell: thanks

sorry, what can I do if I haven't /media/ dir. I've entered in admin cpanel but it is not styled

When I attempt to access any url I get this error :

Caught an exception while rendering: bad marshal data

What could It be ? (I'm not sure what it means)

I'm trying to deploy new django project as a fastcgi module and I've never seen this error before trying to start the server (I have 13 other projects deployed in exactly the same fashion)
