DjangoBot: #django

is it too difficult to google for "django-evolution" ?

in my opinion it's good it makes you manually alter the table, you should need to think about altering your database

WickedMetalHead: yeah, just like manually having to craft SQL

after all, you do need think about the resulting schema

heh. i think the best way it's useng a new def class and using ForeignKey

need some help with a view

type object 'Staff' has no attribute 'object'

that is the error I am getting

will dpaste in one sec

if i use foreignkey - it's dublicate fields?

here is it: http://dpaste.com/38838/

davemeriwn objects

UGH

s += str(main.objects.count()) + '<br>'

thanks for that... it is always the little things

davemeriwn yep

davemeriwn: another tip: from django.shortcuts import get_object_or_404

use that rather than just trying to get the slug directly

ahhh cool

is it required that django-admin.py be put in /usr/local/bin? can i just run it with a full path?

WickedMetalHead: you can

no requirement

WickedMetalHead no

WickedMetalHead sure. you can

i'm taking the value off the URL with a regex and want to accept null as well. For example: "/page/1" and also "/page". Right now the way I'm checking for the default case ("/page") is I'm checking against: "if page == u'':" is there any other way?

WickedMetalHead django-admin.py it's equal ./manage.py

with django + apache , how do i have one location use PROJECT and another location use PROJECT B (two different django projects)

johannix post /page after /page/1

Quin7 use site id for this

in the urls.py?

site id ?

johannix yep

Quin7 yep

odd. i do for query in query_set: query.delete() and....it doesnt delete :-P

ya, i was thinking about doing that

ok. thanks

Quin7: it's documented

johannix: just set up a second url with /page/$, {'page': 1} ..

(r'^main/login/$','mysite.main.views.login'),

(r'^main/(.*)/$','mysite.main.views.other_main'),

for example

Quin7: i don't think you want site, i think you're just after the special advice

johannix for you

tesseracter qyery.save()

Quin7: http://www.djangoproject.com/documentation/modp...

ob3r0n, so delete, then save? heh, ok...

tesseracter offcourse)

i'm go spoking

tesseracter: just do query_set.delete()

SmileyChris, that'll get rid of everything?

tesseracter: yep

just like the docs say ;)

well my django installation powers two different projects with totally different databases and everything . would sites be able to accomodate this or is running two different django's through apache the best way to go

oh, it turns out zeeg is the one i emailed

Quin7: you'll need two different djangos

salkot: doh

I need a pointer. I need a form with two drop down lists, with the second list filtered based on the first. (i.e. with state and city, only the cities in the selected state show up) I'm assuming javascript is needed for this?

Either that, or you need to submit the form in its partial state, and use that to build the second select.

Which would be a useful fallback for non-JS users.

that would work for now. is that where multi-part forms come in, or am I completely off?

SmileyChris hm. it's true?

ob3r0n: ?

That depends on what you're referring to by 'multi-part form'

zabey

what an odd fellow... :)

um. is there a section in the docs that deals with this sort of things. I didn't find it, but I might be looking in the wrong place.

jwhitlar: it's not very well documented (but then, it's not a common request) - you need to override the form's __init__ method and build the second select in there

anyone have any idea what the error would mean if when i run django-admin.py startproject somesite it goes ": No such file or directory". I manually created a project, and when i try to run ./manage.py syncdb, i get the same error

jwhitlar: or probably easier, just use a separate form for it (you'll still need to override init to set up the query set right I'm guessing ) :)

wrt with and block template tags, would would my with block outside a block not get picked up by the context of the block ?

not if you're extending another template

(eg {% with ... as foo %} {% block bar %} {{ foo }}...

ah

thats a pain

why?

just put it the other way round

because i have 3 blocks that im extending

well you can't extend blocks multiple times

but it would be nice to share the with

gridlock: then move some of that logic to the view ;)

so a block in a for loop is silly

er, wait, that was a with

k. I'll look into that. tnx.

but yah, doesn't matter

there is no context outside blocks

so is the current behavior not considered a bug or is it just not fixed?

it isn't a bug

in a child template, there is no context outside of blocks

right. i guess thats fair. still a pain

gridlock, 'with' works surrounding an 'import', if that helps.

salkot: almost but no :)

How do I go about submitting the values of buttons? I'm assuming I add the button name to my form definition as a CharField. Is there a better way to do it?

nah, ive got a problem because of how previous team members designed the html

and i am switching included templates based on a flag on the model

AzMoo: uh, what?

its a little hacky

i will leave with nested withs

the form object does NOT generate form buttons

Magus-: I want to submit the value of a button.

so you just give the button a name/value
