DjangoBot: #django

and more effective for my needs

dcramer[]: Well then, plasTeX it is then ;-)

noahz: yeah. Well we are hooking into django's syntax. And also exposing the SA QUery if you want.

anyone have any idea what causes this: http://sysdexia.com/

it might be related to mod_wsgi

empty: that'll be really slick

empty: Is there a good URL to look at for information on django-sqlalchemy?

noahz: so for example right now if I do Category.objects.filter(name__contains='a') that would be the same as Category.query.filter(Category.name.like('%a%'))

thunderbolt: http://blog.michaeltrier.com/2008/3/21/django-s...

that has all the relevant links at the bottom.

empty: Thanks.

No one at all -.-

I'm trying to create a python script for reading a series of rss feeds and adding them to a db, if a story exist in db, it should not add it but it still do. can anyone check my script? http://dpaste.com/40929/

I've got a semi-algorithmic question about Django: I have a hierachical structure, (a model which has itself as a foreign key (parent)) - it's not clear to me how to do this in a template to arbitrary depth, could anyone point me in the right direction please?

|Kev|: there's an {% include %} directive in the django template language, you can probably use that to have a template recursively include itself

ah, that might work, thanks very much :)

Ouch.

ah, that won't work anyway, will it?

you can't pass a parameter to an include file?

that's a big change...

I wrote a gallery app about 2 months ago

just noticed something wasn't working right

went in and fixed it in about 10 mins

|Kev|: You can't pass a parameter, but the include file does have access to the current in scope template variables which amounts to basically the same thing

anytime I have to go back and fix php code I wrote 2 months ago, I spend 4 hours trying to figure wtf it's doing first

iggy: doesn't make php a good or a bad language, php is just more accessible, so you have many more so-called coders writing stuff with it

\C-g: hrmm - only if scopes work oddly, I think

|Kev|: I've used that "feature" before, so I'm pretty sure it works

ok, let me think about this

maybe not the cleanest way of doing things

the alternative is to write a special template tag

Xore: my comment was more for praise of django than belittling php

I believe there's a helper function somewhere in there for creating special include-like template tags that take arguments

obviously I'm writing php for a living, so I'm at least that okay with it's further existence

[530]: you around?

iggy: yea. i used to do a lot of php, it's just as soon as you move into a team environment, quality control tends to go out the window

tell me about it

it's even better when the team has never heard of things like svn

or unit tests

or table-less layouts

svn is outdated

but better than nothing

but at least you've heard of it

that is a given

Is there anyway to compare 2 datetime filtered through date in django's template system? e.g., {% ifequal start_datetime|date:"F d, Y" end_datetime|date:"F d, Y" %}

so that it doesn't compare the time, only the date

how is the shell command to reset the superuser password in an app?

valizas: http://www.djangoproject.com/documentation/auth...

reading through the docs for fun and profit recommended

huyqt, if that doesn't work, might be time to make your own tag

so that one doesn't need to use the human search engine that often

blast.

does it work? ;D

no.

haha

hylje: tks.

ah, huyqt

pjcrosier: ?

does enyone know if the pycon django presentations are available online?

huyqt, http://dpaste.com/40932/ seems to work?

huyqt: i think it should work.

pjcrosier: he wants to compare month date and day, not hour and minutes of datetime.

huyqt: I think datetime objects have a way toget a date object.

yep, i'm just comparing the date portion

{% ifequal start_datetime.date end_datetime.date %}

pjcrosier: sorry.. didnt fully read it and thought x and y are models ^^

Uz, maybe write your own filter ;D

nope, just me messing around in the shell ;D

bastih^LISP: talk to huyqt. I don't think this needs a filter/tag tho.

hmm

if you need to compare the date von datetime?

one sec.

bastih^LISP: datetime objects have date method which returns a date object.

aside from this, applying filters on the arguments of ifequal should do the job as well.

hylje compare start_datetime.date with end_datetime.date

Yeah, I think it should work.

Hi folks.

Hi.

I'd like to place "session IDs" in the database, so that the current session of the user is logged. From what I've seen Django doesn't provide an automatically generated session ID; would the right way to go be randomly generating one and placing in the database?

frimjon hm, have you seen the "sessions" documentation?

Yes, Zalamander.

what does that not provide?

A session ID.

then how is the session stored?

I'm asking whether it would make sense to generate one mself.

I don't understand what makes you think sessions don't have Ids. They are stored in the database already, so they MUST have a unique id

Probably using a stored cookie with a session ID. The API doesn't seem to reveal that ID, however.

At least I can't see that on the /sessions/ page of the documentation.

hm, I would have thought it would be request.session.id

just a guess though

Not according to Google, it seems.

Does Django have some sort of epydoc generated documentation of sorts?

out of curiousity, why do you need the session id?

I would like to keep it for my logs.

Coupled with an IP, it'll help detect abuse when reviewed.

can't just read it from the cookie?

That'd work, Magus-.
