sorry, when using {% url foo %} in templates, how can have FOO be a variable and not a constant?

pm2: if you save the model instance, the height and width fields should definitely get updated

rozwell: well... its not happening for me...

NeoKeats: you could, but you're going to have to throw away contrib/3rd party stuff that you want to use something other than the global connection

pm2: then you could try manually saving the file

rozwell: let me try a few things....

pm2: saving the file attribute will update the image fields

pm2: err image dimension fields

rozwell: let me paste a snippet of my models.py file somewhere... maybe I have it setup wrong

rozwell: http://dpaste.com/62674/ -- thumb_file is the field in question - does it look like I have it setup correctly at least?

looks fine

use CATION!

Why is it always late at night when you get creative at coding?

SmileyChris: well, fixed one bug anyway ;-)

Dyresen: who says it is

rozwell: then I'm pretty confused here...

Dyresen: Maybe because the temperature gets under 20

rozwell: I'm excluding the height/width fields from the admin interface, that shouldn't make a difference, right?

zephid: could be, it's freaking hot here these days.

pm2: what version of django are you using?

pm2: and how is the field being updated?

is it possible to have the {% url name %} name be a variable instead of a constant?

Dyresen: Same here, the temperature has been over 27 here in Denmark in the paste 6 days

pm2: i think tehy are supposed to be strings

pm2: looks like it according to source

belred: nope

rozwell: django 1.0, field is being updated from a script. Basically, my project is to allow users to upload video files. I have a cron script that runs to convert the video files to .flv format. This script also creates a thumbnail image. This script is what updates the database with the thumbnail file

pm2: i know it's a script, i'm asking how the code actually goes about updating it

pm2: does it use the ORM?

rozwell: yes, I just import the django ORM

belred: no

pm2: it looks to be the case that this doesn't quite work right under django 1.0

someone made a django gedit theme! sweet!

:D

pm2: did you read my message?

django has a theme?

SmileyChris: yeah, I updated that, still have problems

ejv: django has themes?

rozwell: django seems to sport the green irish colors lol http://code.djangoproject.com/wiki/gedit

rozwell: you want a look at my script? maybe that will shed some light on it? I tried uploading the thumbnail image through the admin interface and everything was uploaded correctly...

I mean *updated* correctly

pm2: looking at the source i don't see the fieldfile getting saved except when it's done through a form

pm2: this is not the case in trunk

so I should update

?

that's one possibility

or you could save the fieldfile data directly

as that's what updates the dimension fields

rozwell: so just calculate the height/width manually and save it manually?

Does anyone know how to force a {% blocktrans %} tag to do a specific language besides LANGUAGE_CODE only for one blocktrans? Here's what I have already http://codepad.org/dwIFNuv4, it would be cool if I could get what's at the bottom.

pm2: no

pm2: model_instance.my_image_field.save()

rozwell: ah - i see - I'll give that a try

wouldn't model_instance.my_image_field.update_dimension_fields() then model_instance.save() be enough?

assuming that's not a trunkism

well that's a trunkism

when using @login_required does it affect all the views in views.py ?

benc1: if it's been applied to all the views in a views.py

Hi all. I'm trying to fix this problem with Apache and python-eggs: http://jjinux.blogspot.com/2008/10/python-permi... If I create a new user, how do I make my app work as that user? Thank you.

rozwell: in the docs there is an example for using it outside of the view function.

benc1: and what does it say about it there?

rozwell: can't see anything.

benc1: then what's the problem?

rozwell: when using login_required they are putting it inside the function but when using @login_required the put it outside

benc1: i don't think they ever put it "inside the function"

rozwell: I want to limit access for all the functions in my views.py

benc1: are you talking about the 2.4 decorator syntax differences?

benc1: then apply login_required to all of them, or write a middleware

rozwell: how do I apply @login_required to all of them?

benc1: you put that in front of each view function definition

rozwell: so here it will only affect my_view ? http://dpaste.com/62680/

benc1: yes

rozwell: thanks

sorry, what can I do if I haven't /media/ dir. I've entered in admin cpanel but it is not styled

When I attempt to access any url I get this error :

Caught an exception while rendering: bad marshal data

What could It be ? (I'm not sure what it means)

I'm trying to deploy new django project as a fastcgi module and I've never seen this error before trying to start the server (I have 13 other projects deployed in exactly the same fashion)

I'm running a custom update query in my model object. However, when I self.save() the value gets overwritten with what's on self already

E.g. I'm doing "update bar set val1=2"

self.val1 is 3

doing a self.save() results in 3 being written to the database

Is there some way I can tell my model object to refresh itself? Or not to update self.val1 in the db?

brett use commit=false during save

that will update the object in mem but not in db

ahh then the next save() will write everything correctly?

Does the orm just update columns that have changed? Or everything in a row?

§check it out , i am not sure. but i think whole table use django-debug-toolbar to see which queries get exec'd or use shell

when I delete a class from models.py of my app I get "cannot import name ClassName"

something related to __init__.py in autodiscover line 40

How can I fix it?

I want to be able to upload files with a size of several hundred MB to my django app. Is this possible using django's development server?

pm2: yes

pm2: serving them is a different story

rozwell: Yeah - I serve them from an apache server, I'm just having some trouble uploading files of that size

@brett, i meant whole row..

anyone familiar with "cannot import name ClassName" in /pinax-env/lib/python2.6/site-packages/Django-1.0.2_final-py2.6.egg/django/contrib/admin/__init__.py in autodiscover, line 40 ?

I have a ClassName in my models.py. I don't need it any more but when I remove it I get the error

hi all
