DjangoBot: #django

Magus-: Thanks, I really need to just look into newforms a bit more so that I can get my head around it!

wmealin1: (And I know it gets much harder, but then we just increase dimensions)

ok I found using firebug its setting the css with vTextField but if I grep for that "vTextField" that text doesn't appear in any of the templates...

illsci: of course it doesn't

the forms aren't in the templates

the form html is from oldforms

where would you override that

axiak: I've already "solved" the problem, but its not generalised ( see http://code.google.com/p/junkcode-wade/source/b... )

wmealin1: no I understand

aye.

but it sounds like it can be generalized using algebra

rather than a tree structure

ok.. i'll take a look into it.

illsci: why would you?

i never thought of using that.

illsci: if you want to change how the forms are styled, you should be overriding the css

not the html

Magus-: I want certain text fields to be different sizes so more fit on the page

yeah tahts what I want to do

hmmm

so do so

you can identify unique textfields from the ids as well, of course

axiak: will let you know how it goes.. (reading up on http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eigenvalue_algorithm now)

well it calls vTextField... so i was thinking I could change that to a different css setting like vMacAddress that I would create... and I would need to edit the html to change that

so i was looking for where it used vTextField

wmealin1: well now you got me intrigued...I'm gonna think about it for a little while :)

yah, that's not happening, illsci

you can't change the html generated for fields in oldforms, really

axiak: glad to be of service.

so how do I get it to use different css

wmealin1: ;)

just copy the admin css to where you mapped it from and edit as you see fit

I dont want to modify all the forms that use vTextField

just one

then edit that template to include another css file

well i could just add this css to the one its including now

but in the end dont i have to edit the html and tell it to use differen css

not the form generated html, of course

which is the entire point

the normal templates you can edit just fine

yeah im not getting it.. yet

wmealin1: wait...I ran your example...how is the first step legal?

�� �� �� �� �� �� �� �� �� �� �� ��if jug1.current_volume == jug2.current_volume: ?

(7,9,0) -> (7,2,7)

I thought you have to fill the other jar?

that is pouring the second jar 9, into the third jar.. 7. 2 is left.

and not fill, both jug1 and jug2 must have the same volume

as the "finish" state

oh so the first step is (0, 0, 16) -> (7, 9, 0)...I didn't see that :)

ah, probably should move print status

it's okay

I just want to understand what's going on so that I can try to model it

i dont usually solve these kinds of problems, so this is pretty new to me.

ah, actually since we're actually looking for a path, I think a search algorithm is probably better for this...sigh

we can probably use Dijkstra's

wmealin1: you want the shortest path, right?

pretty much

wmealin1: is 16 steps for this problem the shortest?

i believe so.

Is there a way to loop through/use dictionaries returned by simple tags in the template engine? {% for item in ..... {% tag textfield_to_be_returned_as_dictionary %} basically.

wmealin1: so the way to think about this is an N-dimensional space, where N is the number of "jugs"

wmealin1: and there are only a few nodes in this space that you can go, so you have to find the minimum path in this space

Yuchant: you cannot use a simple tag like that

so, we walk the tree ?

wmealin1: it's a graph, not a tree

sorry, walk the graph, you are correct.

there, redirects in place for old blog article urls to the new location

wmealin1: and sort of .. Dijkstra's can do it in O(V^2) where V is the number of possible locations

What can this mean. In my admin I'm trying to access my Profile section (I extended the user profile from settings.py etc) and I get this errror: coercing to Unicode: need string or buffer, User found

wmealin1: an example python implmentation: http://aspn.activestate.com/ASPN/Cookbook/Pytho...

axiak: my terminology is very aussie, you'll have to excuse that.. no pitchers here. ;)

(They have everything :))

neat.

wmealin1: btw, have you read http://orodruin.axiak.net/upload_handling.html ? :)

nice skin

haha

Yuchant your tags can assign a new name in the template context, and later tags can refer to it.

wmealin1: maybe some day something like that will end up in django ;)

where would one get source code for said beast.

truebosko maybe it means that you defined __unicode__ to return self.user ?

which beast? 2070?

i assume that is how you are solving 2070

its in 2070 ?

Zal - You're right .. and that fixed it, thanks

that's the framework that 2070 provides...a diff is available at http://repo.or.cz/w/fdr-django.git?a=commitdiff...

this will always be the most recent

even when I don't always post to #2070

can i override or subclass something to make all Textarea widgets/fields strip leading and trailing white space when processing the form?

or should i override the save method on any models that have a Char field that will store multiline text and strip it prior to saving?

Zal later tags? will the template have to reload for them to be accessible?

sweet, well .. its starting time for work now, i'll let you know what I come up with.

wmealin1: awesome

wmealin1: it's very much like the word game, right?

:)

very much so
