'lo, msaelices.

Killarny: just do it? Model(att1=foo, att2=bar)?

hello all, I am following along a flex example and they post application/xml to the server, is there a default way for django to handle this, I noticed it was the key in a 1 item dict but I thought maybe django had a different way to handle this???

to handle what?

the xml

its up to you to write views

handle it how you please

parsing it or something

django has nothing for handling xml, no

there are plenty of python modules to do that, I'm sure

yeah, I just didn't like the idea of it being a key in a dict

I thought if you notified django it was xml it would do something different

morning, all

I'm trying to use multiple formsets on the same page. How do I change the id of the formset?

Hey

good morning to you

morning? it's 1 AM :(

neybar: can't you pass an id prefix on instanciation?

monotux: that's morning!

I've a quick question - I'm calculating the content of a slugfield using the save() function and it works pretty well... until I set the field as non-editable. Is ther any way to hide it from the admin app without triggering an exception?

this is what I'm doing http://dpaste.com/71065/

FunkyBob: heh :)

monotux, if you have a chance and it's dark in your area go outside and see if you can see any of the meteor shower.

wotaskd: that doesn't make sense that it'd throw an error

that code looks fine

wotaskd: what exception is it throwing?

monotux: it's always morning somehwere...

stp2007: it's very cloudy right now :(

:(

FunkyBob: I'll tell you in a sec... had to restart the server

FunkyBob: it gives me a KeyError (key 'slug' not found in 'Form')

how do I do this: def __str__(self):

return self.lname+fname

put the self in front of fname also of course

FunkyBob: it actually points at an error at line 105 in django.forms.forms.py

anyone know how can I print form errors that are not related to a field but raised in the def clean method?

I know I can do from.fieldname.errors for field errors

but I need to print global form errors

form.non_field_errors

Anyone have recommendations for adding rich text editors to the admin?

Could someone show me how to validate that a file being uploaded is an mp3?

or point me where I should look? haven't come up with much in searches

you'd have to test request.FILES after upload finishes

I think it's request.FILES.get('uploaded_mp3').get('content-type') == 'audio/mpeg'

I could be wrong

content-type can lie

close, but no cigar

see how ImageField does it

1) entries in request.FILES are no longer dicts

ah

2) as rozwell noted, content-type isn't always accurate

3) I'm not sure mp3 has a consistent mime type

is it audio/mpeg?

er, AudioField

i wish i had my videofield done

but i'm not terribly keen on diving into libavcodec

rozwell, audio's a lot easier: http://www.sacredchao.net/quodlibet/wiki/Develo...

Gulopine: undoubtedly

Gulopine: it seems all the ffmpeg python bindings projects out there have gone stale by years

wow, I just realized that loaddata actually merges the existing dataset with the new one and doesn't overwrite the original one. nice :P

I wish I had known that a long time ago

hmm... is there a "proper" pattern for creating a child instance from a parent with model inheritance?

so if I have class A and class B(A) .... how to create a B from an existing A

you don't

probably shouldn't bother with inheritance, I guess

current weakness of inheritance

inheritance is not dynamic

ok... just checking

couldn't see anything in the docs, so...

which is exactly why you can't do that

Magus, I am trying to install that registration thing and I get an error "no such table: registration_registrationprofile"

personally, I don't see any reason to block it

depends on the inheritance type used though

NoahJ: so you added it to INSTALLED_APPS and ran syncdb?

haven't really delved into Django's model inheritance

placed it directly on pythonpath (i.e. by using setup.py install), and not inside your project?

oh I didn't remember to sync

it's ok.. we were just using inheritance as a slack-ish way to avoid digging deeper into serialising )

:)

still getting the error

NoahJ: python manage.py reset registration

or something along those lines

NoahJ: are you using sqlite?

yeh

did you use a relative path in DATABASE_NAME ?

no

ok, good

sqlite3 and full path

so you added 'registration' in INSTALLED_APPS ?

I wish I could just use the form they made without having to redirect all the urls

well its not much good without the rest of it, NoahJ

I just wanted to replace the UserCreationForm

because it wasn't working anymore

I replaced it with the RegistrationForm class and took out the wrapper so the form was just passed as is to the template

uh

you can't do that

if you don't want to use all of registration, don't use any of it

just use UserCreationForm and fix your view code
