sorry guys. let me give that a try
21:00 pmatey
On a semi-similar note, say I have a pinax site running and I do a pull from git and re-install my pinax-env, will my site that was built with an older version still work?
21:05 pmatey
Has anybody else noticed that blogs on a pinax deployed site don't seem to parse line breaks or reStructured Text?
21:07 pmatey
Regarding the blog markup failure, it seems someone has created a bug in the pinax task list a couple of months ago, so I guess I'll look into fixing that.
21:08 jtauber
we'll be replacing the blog app in the next few weeks
21:08 jtauber
once biblion can support multiple blogs on a site
21:10 pmatey
jtauber: Cool, biblion looks much better than the current blog app.
21:10 jtauber
it is :-)

Using the latest dev version of pinax and I'm trying to update an old pinax site to run with it. Everything is going fine except I can't figure out why subnav tabs no longer don't work (with my old site). I know hundreds of things could be making this break, but if anybody has any suggestions, I would appreciate it.

hi i am trying to include a snippet from app1 in app2 by template inheritance http://dpaste.com/169004/ Why does this fail?
13:27 jtauber
template names aren't file paths, you can't use ..
13:29 Powerplay
hmm
13:30 jtauber
don't treat it as relative, just give the template name
13:31 jtauber
are you sure the first one works with "profiles/" in it?
13:32 Powerplay
right as in {% include "profile_right_panel.html" %} But how do tell the blog app to work with a template in the profile app?
13:32 Powerplay
yes works perfectly fine
13:32 jtauber
just use the absolute name
13:32 jtauber
as I said, there's no relative template naming
13:33 Powerplay
hmm
13:33 Powerplay
in the message app i got this <div class="navigation">
13:33 Powerplay
{% include "messages/right_panel.html" %}
13:33 Powerplay
</div>
13:34 Powerplay
works too
13:34 Powerplay
and just {% include "profile_right_panel.html" %} in the blog doesn'
13:34 Powerplay
t
13:39 Powerplay
jtauber, absolute paths fail too http://dpaste.com/169007/
13:41 jtauber
you misunderstand when I say absolute paths
13:41 jtauber
they are not file paths
13:41 Powerplay
hmm
13:42 jtauber
it will look under the project's templates dir first
13:42 Powerplay
right
13:42 jtauber
and then under the theme's templates dir
13:42 jtauber
and then under each app's templates dir
13:43 Powerplay
so {% include "profile_right_panel.html" %} should succeed in the third search b ut it doesn't

16:14 [dev]
hi there.
16:15 [dev]
Anyone?
16:33 dko
Anyone there to help out a noob with pinax?
16:40 sunoano

16:41 sunoano
16:44 dko
cool thanks.

I'm not able to get a website header image to show up on the cms-project-holiday house. I can browse/load the image file and submit. But there is no change...the image does not show.

Hello, I'm running a pinax 0.7 site and I'm looking to update to the dev version once eldarion is supported. I need to use some sort of schema migration in order to not loose my db data, and south didn't seem to want to work for me. Has anybody else successfully used schema migration software with pinax, and if so, which one?
18:45 pmatey
Also, I'm curious as to whether there is an expected release date for 0.9?
18:49 jraffucci
I've been messing with south
18:49 jraffucci
did u get the latest from the repo?
18:50 jraffucci
I forget sometimes to put the persons name in the msg: pmatey, did u get the version from the repo?
18:50 pmatey
jraffucci: Yes, but I didn't spend any significant time trying to getting it to work.
18:51 pmatey
jraffucci: so you've been able to get it to play nice with pinax?
18:51 jraffucci
well, I didn't need to do anything but add south to the package list.
18:51 jraffucci
i mean
18:51 jraffucci
the installed apps
18:51 jraffucci
hmmm
18:51 jraffucci
when u ran syncdb what did it say?
18:52 pmatey
it said something like I need to call migrate on 'pinax.apps.profiles' and 'pinax.apps.tribes'
18:52 pmatey
and when I did that it threw some errors
18:52 jraffucci
hmm
18:52 jraffucci
what where the errors?
18:53 pmatey
But I may be doing something wrong, the docs seemed a little meager.
18:53 pmatey
Hold on, I closed everything down, let me reproduce the errors
18:53 jraffucci
k
19:02 pmatey
So using a newly cloned social project and adding south to the installed_apps and running syncdb, I get this error: http://pastebin.com/eSajmcLw
19:03 pmatey
which wasn't what I was getting before, so let me see if I can reproduce the error I was getting about profiles and tribes
19:15 pmatey
jraffucci: I think I just need to play with south a little more. I got everything to work with a cloned social project, its just when I try it on my own custom site that it seems to throw errors. As for the error message I pasted, it was because south doesn't support multiple databases.
19:25 jraffucci
pmatey: sounds good I think your on the right path...

00:53 interfaith
anyone happy with django_cron ?
00:53 interfaith
how about a simple app that runs timer() ?
00:54 interfaith
a simple way to run some python code every minute or so ?
00:54 interfaith
django_cron has way too much processing
00:55 brosner
do you really not have access to cron?
00:55 interfaith
well yes however i want easy access to the db as well
00:55 brosner
ok?
00:55 brosner
what is the problem?
00:56 interfaith
well making a small python script that has db access with the django simple syntax seems complicated
00:56 brosner
a management command is complicated?
00:56 interfaith
i want to run the convenient db access code
00:57 interfaith
hold on let me elaborate
00:58 interfaith
in order to populate a table django must be imported ?
00:58 interfaith
every minute or so, add a table to a database
00:59 brosner
wait what?
00:59 brosner
what are you trying to do?
00:59 interfaith
the background job is to add a record to a table every minute
00:59 interfaith
using posgres
00:59 brosner
ok. that's fine. you said add a table to the database every minute ;-)
00:59 interfaith
oops
01:00 brosner
in a management command you have full access to your models.
01:00 interfaith
ok great can you point me to the reference for that ? thx !
01:01 interfaith
so a simple stand alone python program can do that ?
01:01 brosner
01:01 interfaith
fantastic.. i will dive there now ! GREAT
01:12 interfaith
no problem having cron run in the virtual environment ?
01:26 brosner
interfaith: nope. you can use the full path to the python executable in the virtual env's bin/ directory. that is the best solutions IMO.
19:29 BlueSilver39
When do you decide its time to just build my own ove trying to get a re usalbe app to work?
