DjangoBot: #django

I mean, can I define in Django the rules to rotate a table and a pysql to optimze a task?

chronos: have you done the django tutorial?

yeah... but for mysql

not tryed pgsql yet

we trying to discover if is better wait to mysql 6 or start with pgsql 8

same thing. django abstracts the database with the ORM. you can always bypass the ORM to do whatever you want of course. but then your not using the ORM.

k, that is the point

thx

chronos: so in short. it really doesnt matter what you use. django is "database" agnostic. as long as the backends are supported.

I have url as "GET /refo/?q=%D0%98%D0%B2%D0%B0 HTTP/1.1

How it convert to utf8 that it use it views?

is there any good howto/documentation on how to create an admin dashboard? i.e. add some stuff next to the model lists

if I'm doing a reverse and the kwargs are for pub_date.month, is this the format? url = reverse('event_year', kwargs={'pub_date__year':cal.year, 'pub_date__month':cal.month, 'pub_date__day':day[0]})

or are there periods

discorpia: just google customizing django admin.

fualo: the keys should match your named capture groups in your urls.py

kyrix, i have, i find very little concrete about adding stuff to those pages.. and if i create my own views i can't find how to add the model list

discorpia: http://www.slideshare.net/lincolnloop/customizi...

django is saying "OperationalError: attempt to write a readonly database" even though I just successfully created the sqlite db with syncdb :/

is it possible to nest a "for key,value" inside of a for tag in a django template?

kyrix, i saw that one, but never understood how they added the extra menus etc. and if i do a custom view i wouldn't now how to generate a list with all available models

discorpia: just look at the contrib.admin code. its just plain django

or take a look at how the projects mentioned in the list do it.

amccloud: probably a permissions issue

kyrix, cool, thx for the tip

kyrix: another question i'm having: is it possible to access the message_user field from my own views, or only through modeladmin?

im trying the app 'photologue' .. im getting this strange error.. i haven't seen this kind of error before.... any suggestions? http://pastebin.com/m3358a1b0

kyrix: do you know what user django tries to access the database as? I'm running django along with apache with mod_wsgi

my apache processes run as "nobody"

amcloud: what database?

amccloud: the user that you specify in your settings.py

man, I'm reading through the Django Book and I feel like I missed something. I have my model... now how do I access my model's data in my views and template tags? http://dpaste.com/70674/ - this is my view

aonweb: for sqlite?

sorry, my model.

kyrix: sqlite

amccloud: hmm, shoud be the parent process

user

m1chael: have a relook at your urls, a url coming before your reverse url might be catching it

the dev server is running, but http://localhost:8000/ 404s on me. whats wrong here? i started a new project, and haven't added anything, i'm expecting the 'It Worked!' page to show up

amccloud: then it will be nobody. the apache process user.

http://pastebin.com/d7a5b0926 # this is my urls.py .. i checked the satchmo urls... i didnt see anything that immediately jumped out on me...

argh. How do I access my models from the Django template?!

kyrix: now it went to "OperationalError: unable to open database file" instead of telling me that the file was only readonly. Yet this error is only on /admin and no other page on the site.

You don't. You access them from the view.

ivazquez|laptop: how do i do that?

Same way you'd access other Python objects.

discorpia: not sure... try it out :)

if my model was Portfolio(models.model)...

Have you read the tutorial yet?

then would I access it with something like Portfolio.anAttribute ?

yes, i've been reading all day

the django book, at least

i feel like there's a missing chapter.

There's an online tutorial. Use that.

oh. ok.

brenbren: four chapters. short. easy. :)

m1chael: you have not given all your urls but databrowse/(..*) is a catchall for all databrowse

Well, the "easy" bit depends on whether or not you're meant to be a programmer.

but i think your reverse is looking for a view with view_url/xyz

ivazquez: its all relative, except to the the old zope documentation.

thats an absolute :D

amccloud: you need to check what user and group permissions on your db file and in the entire hierarchy

enclosing that file

kyrix, i can't, or i wouldn't know how. the only documentation i find about it is the usage of modelAdmin.message_user() in an example, no clue on where to find more info about that area

how can i attach a query set to actual dates?

what does that mean

normally looking at source code tells you more info. django source code very well documented

when i try to load my fixture (made on my dev site, populated with a lot of good data) onto my new public-facing site (with ./manage loaddata myfixture.json) I get "Warning: Data truncated for column 'email' at row 1" Any idea what's breaking?

Do they use the same DB engine?
