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)

I'm running a custom update query in my model object. However, when I self.save() the value gets overwritten with what's on self already

E.g. I'm doing "update bar set val1=2"

self.val1 is 3

doing a self.save() results in 3 being written to the database

Is there some way I can tell my model object to refresh itself? Or not to update self.val1 in the db?

brett use commit=false during save

that will update the object in mem but not in db

ahh then the next save() will write everything correctly?

Does the orm just update columns that have changed? Or everything in a row?

§check it out , i am not sure. but i think whole table use django-debug-toolbar to see which queries get exec'd or use shell

when I delete a class from models.py of my app I get "cannot import name ClassName"

something related to __init__.py in autodiscover line 40

How can I fix it?

I want to be able to upload files with a size of several hundred MB to my django app. Is this possible using django's development server?

pm2: yes

pm2: serving them is a different story

rozwell: Yeah - I serve them from an apache server, I'm just having some trouble uploading files of that size

@brett, i meant whole row..

anyone familiar with "cannot import name ClassName" in /pinax-env/lib/python2.6/site-packages/Django-1.0.2_final-py2.6.egg/django/contrib/admin/__init__.py in autodiscover, line 40 ?

I have a ClassName in my models.py. I don't need it any more but when I remove it I get the error

hi all

I'm facing an error rendering a template with some non ascii characters

#

Caught an exception while rendering: 'ascii' codec can't encode character u'\xe9' in position 7: ordinal not in range(128)

has anyone faced this before/know how to resolve it?

rozwell: it looks like the file uploads OK, but the server hangs before the request is completed, so the client doesn't know that it was successful

vIkSiT: fix your template tag to use unicode instead of str

oh damn

somehow I completely missed that part of the stack trace!

thanks SmileyChris :)

I have pasted a very short and simple inclusion tag at http://dpaste.com/62697/

Does anyone know if mysql works under jython+django?

is anyone able to explain how it might return empty data as 'node'?

I want to look at django_session instance in the shell. How do I import it?

I would not expect it to return anything empty under any circumstances

superdmp: shouldn't it be changed to always return a dict?

benc1: from django.contrib.session.models import Session

I am not sure what you mean SmileyChris

sometimes I don't want it to return anything

is it possible to specify templates in in urls.py without actually writing views?

superdmp: it's an inclusion tag - it always renders the template afaik

chrishartim: you can use the generic views

oh, so even if there's nothing to return it will return... nothing!

that's what must be happening

SmileyChris: thanks

SmileyChris: ImportError: No module named session.models

benc1: sessions, sorry

is anyone familiar with hachoir? when I import anything from any of the hachoir libraries I can't start manage.py runfcgi

benc1: then you'll want to run the get_decoded() method of the instance

SmileyChris: I worked around it by doing a check {{ if data }} in the template

thanks for your help

SmileyChris: what is get_decoded() ?

benc1: it unpickles the session dictionary

getting "Error loading MySQLdb module: No module named MySQLdb" when trying to use django with jython, I guess mysql is not an option w/ jython

SmileyChris: does get_decoded() for every model or just Session?

benc1: just session - it's a model method

Can someone spare some time to help me with using forms.MultipleChoiceField with widget forms.CheckboxSelectMultiple

SmileyChris: how can I see all the attributes of a model instance without knowing what they are?

SmileyChris: is it possible?

I'm running mysql database and when I try to save a form which has a field impact = forms.MultipleChoiceField(widget=forms.CheckboxSelectMultiple, choices=impact_choices) I an error because the sql is incorrect, it seems that the multiplechoice field is being stored as an array which is isn't valid sql. Can anyone help?

Yo.

We're developing a Django site, and have an open feature request to implement tracking for all logged in users, for all pages.

I.e., we need to be able the reproduce the navigation sequences of each individual logged in user: "user Foo started at the main menu at 11:00, proceeded to /bar at 11:01, then to /baz at 11:12"

What's a good way to approach this on Django?

Best of all if there's any exiting text describing such implementation, as many developers must have done it already.

log parsing won't cut it?

drhodes: from what I've seen of our (ngnix) logs, they can't distinguish logged in users.

I guess not

benc1: instance._meta.fields

fynn: well there is a logging module, and there is a @require_authentication decorator, maybe do a mash up of those.

SmileyChris: thanks

drhodes: you mean Python's logging module?

fynn: yeah, I don't know of a django specific solution.

that certainly doesn't mean there isn't one though! :)

I've seen various people attach the logging problem

drhodes: right, which is why I was asking :)

Pythons built in logging module is very flexible

FunkyBob: links to their blogs?

pfft

I've seen people _in here_ approach it

yeah, I'm versed in the logging module, looking for a more complete solution.

fynn: there might be something here: http://www.djangosnippets.org/

just logging stuff is fine, but then you need to actually store and display that information.

drhodes: thanks.

anyone try this btw?:

why does django pickle and use md5 on the session string instead of just create a random string?
