DjangoBot: #django

my app is named listing and my urls.py catches /listings/

hoangelos: http://www.djangoproject.com/documentation/djan...

timboy: your urls should not catch /listings/

timboy: and did you restart apache?

rozwell, yes

rozwell, so should I modify my urls.py to catch /listing instead of /listings?

timboy: no

timboy: your urls shouldn't be aware of the root from which the project is served

ilogik, if self.id exists before calling super().save() then it's an update

rozwell, ok so currently I have my settings.py and manage.py in /var/www/pescape and my application listing in /usr/local-django-apps/listings is this the right way?

timboy: not with your apache set up

timboy: you should keep all django-related code out of your document root altogether, i usually create a user for each project and keep the associated stuff for each project in that user's home dir

timboy: you can keep reusable apps anywhere you'd like as long as they're readable/executable

anyone ever done address standardization?

I just need to handle location queries for state, city, zip

when i overwrite a custom method is it possible to raise an error that is displayed in nfa?

timboy: if you ran django-admin.py startproject pescape to create this folder "pescape" with __init__.py and settings.py in it, you need to add the folder that contains 'pescape' to PythonPath

timboy: and then reference the settings therein as "pescape.settings"

hey there.. i have a urls.py like this: http://pastie.textmate.org/private/cwf5qdnu1yyb... - the problem is that {% url admin_page %} is being rendered into some other url in tr end en urls... should i add the admin line inside them which is a little bit weird ?

timboy: i mean that's what you'd put for DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE

davidcramer: as far as i'm aware there's no really good ways to handle addresses

ya i was just hoping someone had done some of the work for me

im just going to accept city, state, zip; city, state; city; state; and zip queries

hmm i see that i've to diagnose the problem by myself since nobody cares.. :(

alperkanat: nobody can understand you

rozwell: this is my urls.py: http://pastie.textmate.org/private/cwf5qdnu1yyb...

hrm are zip_codes (the base) always 5 integers throughout the world?

rozwell: i'm using url naming to render to urls in templates

Does anyone know if there's an incompatibility between using djano.root in mod_python and APPEND_SLASH in CommonMiddleWare?

katamari: why would there be?

davidcramer: nope

rozwell: if i do {% url admin_page %} in some url that starts with something like /en/blog/....... django renders the admin url like this: http://localhost:8000/tr/blog/

k so ill just make it a 16bit charfield

sorry it's http://localhost:8000/en/blog/

rozwell: Well, the append_slash works (and has always worked for me). I just recently tried django.root in one of my installations and now it doesn't seem to work.

alperkanat: two urls can't have the same name

rozwell: but the flag is still observed in test server.

rozwell: there's no url that have the same name ?

katamari: well i don't see what the one has to do with the other

when i overwrite a custom method is it possible to raise an error that is displayed in nfa?

how do i change a value for a field in a queryset?

ourcach: ?

psytek: querysets don't have fields

rozwell: https://scripps.55minutes.com/survey/admin

rozwell: i want to overwrite the save method of one of my models. And i want to return an error when some conditions fail. how do i do that

psytek: perhaps you want http://www.djangoproject.com/documentation/db-a...

rozwell, ok and my static_media folder stays in my pescape project? if that's the case should I change PythonPath "['/usr/local/django-apps/', '/var/www/'] + sys.path" to PythonPath "['/usr/local/django-apps/' + sys.path"

rozwell: then try https://scripps.55minutes.com/survey/admin/

timboy: your pythonpath needs to be set to contain the path to any collection of 3rd party apps you want to use, as well as the path that contains your project package folder

rozwell: yes i looked that that, I have to update individual objects one by one with seperate values

ourcach: if you want to validate form input, do it in the form

rozwell: that is similar to what I am looking for

rozwell: i want to control the number of instances of a model in the db. it allows insertion until a max_number defined, and beyond that number i want it to raise an error. i'm doing this by overwriting the save method of the model. don't know if it's the best way

ourcach: if you want this to be reflected to a user you should do it in the form

ok rozwell I understand now. i might have had it right a little bit ago but I was typing /listings and not /listings/

this is in the admin.

rozwell, now I get ImportError: Could not import settings 'peaceful.settings' (Is it on sys.path? Does it have syntax errors?): No module named peaceful.settings

timboy: so modify your pythonpath accordingly

http://pastie.org/248139 I want to do something like this

psytek: so do it, but you'll have to save each instance individually

rozwell: ahh, i didn't want to overwrite the data

psytek: then don't

how do i save without overwriting the data?

psytek: that's nonsensical

then my question remains unanswered

should i create a new queryset and copy the modified queryset over?

can someone who knows what i want to do answer me without being sarcastic or condescending? http://pastie.org/248139

hi

psytek: i'll try

psytek: so you've built a query set

you're going to iterate through ti

and set a field to a random number

yes

thats.. what you want ?

exactly

ok. so after you do the set

just call save()

done

and that won't modify the database?

isn't that the plan ?

or not

how can I render an inclusion tag in a view? by now it only returns me the dictionary (so it doesn't behave like a decorated function)

no, i want it just for the instance

sorry if i wasn't clear

you mean, for when you use it in the template ?

yes

give me a min

ok thank you

while im setting up.. what exactly do you want to do/use it for ?

iv'e never needed to use random data in templates

thats all.

i have a bunch of records that i want to modify a value on each row and return it back to the view

psytek: why not give each row a uuid in the model ?

then you can reference it later.. rather than random

psytek: if you iterate through the queryset and set the fields, then pass the list to the template you should see the values you set earlier, provided it's still in the same request/response cycle

psytek: if you don't call save, the next request/response cycle where you bring up those records they should be as they were before you modified the field

ahh, thank you

psytek: this is what i said to you earlier, to which you responded "but i want to save it"

despite the following urls.py file: http://pastie.textmate.org/private/sdgmrgwrw5sy... - it says NoReverseMatch
