DjangoBot: #pinax

hi, can someono give me a hint how to make pinax redirect to the previous page after login?

i found this, but i'm not sure it applies: http://code.google.com/p/django-hotclub/issues/...

anyone?

Hi, I was wondering how Pinax redirects user to the whats_next url when they are already logged in and request main page of the site

I guess the homepage.

is anyone active in the channel?

the redirect to whats_next is different than the request to the mage page of the site

s/mage/main/

although you could set the redirect on login to be the home page

or set the home page to redirect to a whats_next page (or any other page)

right I understand, they reason I am asking is because If I am already logged in and request the site at the home page I am taken to the whats_next page

I was just wondering how that worked...

what starter project did you use?

the social_project or the basic_project has this functionality

the reason I am asking is because you have a direct_to_template for the home page

I don't think they redirect, I think they just both have some common content

i am confused. the homepage and what_next are two different URLs and pages.

right they are

so not sure what your question is then

but when someone is logged in, it seems to go to the whats_next page, or is the homepage including the whats_next content as well?

they just share content

literally a copy-paste if I recall correctly

ah, so its not some redirect trick

no

I guess you would have to build a view to move them

although that *is* possible to do in Django

in a view?

yes

ok

I for some reason thought you were redirecting in a middleware or something similar

the view can return a HttpRedirectResponse

or there is a redirect generic view too

correct, I was aware of that, it was just confusing me why I was getting the same page even after requesting the homepage

note that we *do* redirect after login based on a setting

yes I saw that

and understood that part, directly after a login. But the same content was showing up in the homepage. Just wanted to get a grasp of how that was happening, not I get its just a copy of a content and probably a {% if request.user.is_authenticated %} in the template

yep

thank you very much.

np

I really like the reusable apps you guys have brought together

makes integration a pick and choose affair even if you don't want to use pinax in its entirety you can use the apps from their respective packages or repos

very well done, thank you for all the effort.

in many cases the Pinax team wrote the apps too, not just brought them together :-)

Oh I know, thats why I am thanking you very much

I am very interested in getting to know how to use the groups functionality, would like to build a wall/news feed functionality for a client site and that seems to be the ticket along with notifications and friends

hopefully if you guys aren't already working towards a wall functionality I can build something in regards to that and contribute back.

Hi, I just installed the dev version from github, and after cloning the social_project and trying to run

'python manage.py syncdb' I get this error:

bonus points for using a pastebin :-)

pmatey: looks like the dependencies didn't install.

is that why it is looking in /usr/lib/python2.5/...?

did you pip install -r requirements.txt?

brosner: shouldn't it all be in the virtual-env or something?

actually are you in the virtual environment?

yes

ok

i think you probably didn't install the requirements file.

you can type pip freeze to see what versions of the packages you have

it is more likely you are not in the virtual environment based on the path.

I ran 'python scripts/pinax-boot.py --development --source=. ../pinax-dev'

then did you run source ../pinax-dev/bin/activate?

sure did

then did you run pip install -r requirements/external_apps.txt?

make sure you sourced before running syncdb

ah, that is where reading the docs helps

sorry guys. let me give that a try

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?

Has anybody else noticed that blogs on a pinax deployed site don't seem to parse line breaks or reStructured Text?

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.

we'll be replacing the blog app in the next few weeks

once biblion can support multiple blogs on a site

jtauber: Cool, biblion looks much better than the current blog app.

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.
