DjangoBot: #django

ascii1011: do this - import django

then django.get_version()

Magus-: I am using the SVN version

when i change tips.user to tips.name it says name_id not found.

Magus-: as regards __unicode__, what do you mean exactly?

ned: you can't do self.name in __str__ obviously

ned: Tips has no name

ned: if you want to show the user, do return str(self.user) or such

magus-: returns this: u'1.0-alpha-SVN-8194'

although you should NOT be using __str__ in svn

ascii1011: ok good

ascii1011: what if you do this: Poll.objects.all()[0]

magus- why does it even need a name?

returns same answer

ned: because you're telling it to use self.name@!

it doesn't actually need one

but you're telling it to look for that

so obviously it dies when it doesn't have one

line 20 in your paste

ahh i'm an idiot

ascii1011: how about unicode(Poll.objects.all()[0])

shouldn't be required, but worth a test

if i have an instance specified for a modelform, can i access that instance in a template?

vicvicvic: why?

i want to output stuff about it

I've created some permissions on a model using its Meta class. How do I specify those permissions in my permission_required decorator?

Modelname.Permission?

magus-: returns : u'Poll object' ... this thing really hates my objects:)

all fixed, thanks magus- :)

Magus-: as regards __unicode__, what do you mean exactly?

more precisely, i have an imagefield in my model, and it would be nice to display the image next to the fields...

ascii1011: test to make sure your files don't have tabs instead of spaces or anything

I've seen some editors cover up issues there on copy/paste

will do

Rambling: no, app_label.permission_name

the model name is never involved unless you use it in the perm name

So I can create permissions in the model's Meta class, but they're accessible through the app name?

yes, they're not tied to the model at all

Thanks.

Magus-: as regards __unicode__, what do you mean exactly?

magus-: took out all spaces, tried Poll.objects.all(), Poll.objects.all()[0], unicode(Poll.objects.all()[0]) again, with the same result. could this be something more rudimentary like i forgot to install something?

ascii1011: no

clad007: about what?

clad007: if you mean 'how could I have messed it up?' there's too many ways to say

so pastebin your code

Magus-: I just followed the tutorial. I have "poll objeect" instead of poll titles in the poll list

Magus-: you told me it might be related to unicode

grr, wrong button

clad007-: does your code look like this? http://dpaste.com/69882/

:)

clad007: and the tutorial shows a __unicode__

Magus-: I don't have any def __unicode__ line

then you didn't follow the tutorial, did you? :)

down slightly from there

I have a model, then in that model I'm registering it with admin.site.register(Model). The Admin works great. The problem is when I go to use that Model in a view. from mysite.models import Model. Then I get an error about the model Model is already registered.

I see permissions in the admin interface for creating, updating, and deleting objects. Are these only for the administration interface?

If I want to restrict deletion of an object by the end user, should I define a can_delete permission of my own?

neybar: because 'appname.models' should be 'projectname.appname.models'

and register calls go in admin.py normally

Rambling: you can use them for anything you want

Magus-: what are their code names?

Magus-: thanks. I was shortcutting the projectname.

Rambling: probably stuff like app.change_model

or delete_model or add_model

hey guys

any of you guys have a blogging application you would reccomend?

...other than coltrane

most recommendations i've seen say its worthwhile building your own

http://www.b-list.org/weblog/2007/nov/29/django... <- this is worth a read on the subject

uh, is there at least any way to just get the value of a field in a template?

not the widget

or, well, i guess i could make an "imgwidget" which displays itself as an <img>-tag

:T

not getting any help in #python, may i ask a python question here?

Magus-: You're right, they're of the form delete_model, add_model, change_model.

here goes.

here is my error from SOAPpy's setup.py: http://dpaste.com/69890/

yah, no

that's not a django issue at all :)

go bug soappy people :)

im actually trying to use this to write my SOAP handler for django

it looks like they broke it

that's nice

its still not something we can fix, its their code :)

try easy_install?

Glenjamin: it couldnt find it
