DjangoBot: #django

So /home/ryan/Projects/svn.ryankaskel.com/rkic/rkiclib/apps/thirdparty/ probably isn't on your pythonpath.

it is because other code is importing it: here is the traceback: >>> from asqcom.apps.news import models

Traceback (most recent call last):

File "<console>", line 1, in <module>

File "/home/ryan/Projects/svn.ryankaskel.com/clients/Emilio_Bustillo/asqcom/trunk/asqcom/../asqcom/apps/news/models.py", line 8, in <module>

from rkiclib.apps.thirdparty.tagging.fields import TagField

File "/home/ryan/Projects/svn.ryankaskel.com/rkic/rkiclib/apps/thirdparty/tagging/__init__.py", line 3, in <module>

from tagging.managers import ModelTaggedItemManager, TagDescriptor

ImportError: No module named tagging.managers

Dude, pastebin.

i'm sorry I don't know if that's not allowed here

sorry

Well, first things first, stop doing that: from rkiclib.apps.thirdparty.tagging.fields import TagField

why is that?

The app, like any reusable app, is meant to be installed directly on the pythonpath.

i understand that but is that really the only solution? doesn't Python work its way "up" in scanning for imports

okay so do you have a third party type of element in your repository?

and if so how you personally manage "externals"? I think we've actually had this talk before but I'm trying to implement this and i'm failing there

I still have a few projects left on subversion that haven't been moved to git yet.

I'm gettting the following error <http://pastebin.org/5653> with a fresh Django 1.1 project with nothing but the database info (sqlite3/projname.sqlite) changed in the settings.py file.

What method should I use to simply return a 200 without necessarily returning any HTML?

unomystEz: return HttpResponse()

mattmcc: thanks

so this doesn't make any sense to me. if you create the field as DateTimeField it creates it as a datetime.datetime object

which has a fromtimestamp() method

so why isn't django just calling that before inserting it? because it doesn't recognize/expect it as a timestamp?

Because it wasn't written that way?

I guess yeah

That would also introduce portability issues, since a timestamp doesn't mean the same thing everywhere.

mattmcc: ok, so 200 for OK status, what is best to use for failed?

mattmcc: instead of 500 and 404

this is for an API and the view is to update a value in the db

unomystEz: That would depend on the kind of failure you want to report.

something not too negative. just that I received it but it didn't work.

maybe I sould refer to an RFC here

Probably.

"Doesn't work" is quite a last resort in error reporting.. :)

heh, true

maybe I'll just log it with logging and return 200 anyway

if i'm copying an object like bill = bob; bill=None; bill.save() ... how do i save the manytomany relationshiops again?

is there a way to get the reverse url for a flatpage?

Does anyone know if this is still up to date-> http://code.djangoproject.com/wiki/UsingFreeCom... or if there is another page to look at if you want to modify comments

krunktar: No need, since flatpages are hardcoded URLs.

krunktar: .get_absolute_url works on a flatpage object.

Navies: It's not, and the docs now discuss customizing the contrib.comments app. http://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/ref/contri...

thanks guys

mattmcc: thanks but I wasnt talking about models and stuff, but like the form itself and redirections and validations

Navies: Well, validation would be done in a form class, that shows how to make a custom comment form class.

Navies: Redirection was covered in the regular comments docs: http://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/ref/contri...

Got a head scratcher. In settings.py I have DIRNAME = os.path.abspath(os.path.dirname(__file__)), MEDIA_ROOT = os.path.join(DIRNAME, 'static/'), and MEDIA_URL = '/static/' The CSS links are being generated fine, but the links to the images (generated by the thumbnail tag in the template) are coming out as:http://localhost:8000/static//home/jkugler/programming/fss/MyProject/static/images/productimage-picture-default_jpg_85x85_q85.jpg Ideas?

mattmcc: Yeah but only for post, not for preview redirection, and the thing is when using that, the form gets totally different, that is when using {{ form }} I get to see that thing that is supposed to be hidden, that honypot thing

Navies: Well, I haven't done much with the comments app, but if the docs don't answer it, use the source, Luke.

mattmcc: :)

i have customized comments

witha custom form

yuri_zivago: Could I have a peek

Mine looks like http://213.113.64.51:3002/B8ECD/Screenshot_8/1/...

Thats with http://213.113.64.51:3002/6C34E/Screenshot_8/1/...

Navies: you know you can use a pastebin

Navies: for text

rozwell: I know but It didnt feel necessary there

so you want customization on client side?

I guess so...

anybody know how to copy a model object?

I mean I guess I gotta change the {{ form }}

Navies: heh, well a screenshot of code is far less helpful than just the text

rozwell: its just copied from the comments doc

its not that you need to try it out

Navies: and yes, you can employ custom rendering here

rozwell: But okay, note taken till next time

have any of the 1.2 features hit the trunk yet?

RaceCondition: Dude, 1.1 was, like, two days ago.

Does anyone have any idea why thumbnail would be generating a URL for an image that is the full absolute path on disk?

mattmcc: yes, I know, but I'm trying to decide whether to keep tracking trunk or stay with 1.1

pedahzur: your upload_to path isn't relative to your media path?

pedahzur: you mean sorl-thumbnail?

pedahzur: what are your MEDIA_ROOT, MEDIA_URL and upload_to set to?

RaceCondition: Well, if you're planning on putting something in production, it's generally wise to target a release.

yeah, probably what clawtros said

yessssss
