graham: define a foreign key from nickname to person

Question: Please see http://dpaste.com/74081/

Magus-, dgrant: I understand that, but can i create something for Person so that it would be easier to query all the records that point to it?

FunkyBob: hows it going ?

in the Nickname class, define person=models.ForeignKey(Person)

ViRUS, vertical center is not possible with CSS alone. One needs the image height. Or half of it when tricking it with the margin.

graham: you do NOT understand it - IT ALREADY EXISTS

reverse relations are made for every relation pointing to it

automatically

if you're wanting to combine MULTIPLE relations, you need to be clear on that - if that's the case, no, you can't do that quickly

graham: what more do you want than person.nickname_set.all()

what's the best practice these days for uploading an image and resizing it to fit within certain dimensions? Should I use ImageField to upload or URLField?

Sorry above I wrote "Person.nickname_set.all()" which implies I that nickname_set was like a static attribute, but I meant lower case "person", which is an instance of Person

why would i get "Unknown command: 'startproject'" from django-admin.py ?

ok. I'll just stick to a custom tag or filter.

dgrant, Magus- : Now I understand, i didn't realize that it was automatic, Thank you.

sorl-, are you the author of sorl?

Heh.

_mattd you're actually getting that from running django-admin.py, or from running code that emulates it?

Zalamander: getting that from running django-admin.py in a dir that is not a django app

because you have DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE set

when that's set, startproject is unavailable

ViRUS: yes, and there is i think a processor in the wiki that makes an image so and so big and places the image inside, use something like that or a table is what id do, with css and vertical positioning its so much harder

sorl-, mind a query. I'd like to discuss two ideas for sorl with you where I'm not sure wether this should be a sorl thing or something else.

ViRUS: sure

Magus-: huh. interesting.

tbh im getting pissed, non stop spam calls to my cell and home phone the last few days

cant get anything done i get interuppted every 2 seconds

hi.. i'm using django with pyisapie on iis and at the top of most responses i get this: http://dpaste.com/74085/ .. any ideas how to get rid of that?

the template tags for the new comments work fine but when I try to put a comment form into a page, I get errors that seem related to comment_form_target

anyone know of a simple "counter" app for django that i can snap into a template?

anyone run into "incorrect integer value" warnings?

w/ mysql?

I'm getting a: Incorrect integer value: '' for column...

error, been googling this issue for a while

seems like other people have ran into it in the past

yes, we saw the first time you asked it

its still in the screen :)

repeating it doesn't make us know the answer :)

envisean: trying to set an integer field to ""?

if you want an empty integer field you need null=True

sorl-: not quite, it's a model that's based off an existing table from another application

so?

sorl-: wasn't having this problem earlier, but it's starting to throw it now

sorl-: what's interesting is that I don't even have any rows that have an empty value for that column

because you cant...

sorl-: right, but i don't understand why it's throwing this warning

if that's the case

do you have null=True?

do you try to save a blank field to this column?

sorl-: no, i don't

when I use datetime.datetime.now() in a Model as default, the result is damn buggy..... is this known?

sorl-: i tried adding it in a second ago, but it didn't help

envisean: you need to change the db too of course

where can I read about implementing a web service using django ?

sorl-: not to my knowledge, i'm simply using objects.get() or filter()

envisean: so only fetching data?

sorl-: yes

so mysql complains... about incorrect data... and you are only fetching data... that means mysql has incorrect data?

suspicious

Hm. it would be nice if the contrib.auth.admin would be able to work with UserProfiles.

or is that possible and I am missing something?

netzwurm: inlines

sorl-: yep, which is weird, i try to do this in the shell, and it works fine

sorl-: doesn't throw the warning

ran the same commands my view is

netzwurm: or just edit the extended part with fk to User...

sorl-: ok i think i found the issue, it's w/ the urls

urls is painful to debug sometimes

sorl-: I am somewhat reluctant to do inlines as long as that means I have to redeclare UserAdmin in my application. Is there a way to add an inline to UserAdmin without rewriting the entire class? can I inherit?

have you tried it?

of course you can subclass
