looks like you have missed out on security - count the number of critical
holes in drupal over the past year with the one hole in django in the past 4
years. btw, I tried to comment on your blog, but was rejected saying I was
behind a proxy. Given that practically any one on a LAN is behind a proxy,

It looks like you have a non-ascii character in your source file, or
some data that is in your database.

question about facebook connect and django voting

uno...@gmail.com (unohoo@gmail.com) — Thu, 12 Nov 2009 23:54:28 UT

I'm trying to find the most efficient way to accomplish the below:

I have a list of users (facebook friends) for a user - these users are
objects of the Django User model:
[friend1,friend2, friend3..]

I use the django voting app where users can vote on an item.

the resulting page has 10 items and for each item, it will list all

Apache2 installation

Hello,

I've been trying to port my app to apache2 server from the django
development server. After trying all day, I now see the admin page but
I don't see my app. Hosting co is not helping because they say this is
"pure django."

Is there someone familiar with this process and could you point me to

Thanks everyone for the additional comments. Draft #2 is up now, with
substantial changes and additions based on your feedback.

Yes, I'd like to get feedback from some Drupal people, but again want
to focus on devs who have worked in *both* systems. If you know of
anyone who has, feel free to point them to the document.

Django Admin interface crashes with.

cau0...@gmail.com (Rick Caudill) — Thu, 12 Nov 2009 21:06:12 UT

Hi Everyone,

This is my first time posting but I have been using Django for about a
year now and love it. I am having one problem that I can't solve
though and it is taking too long so I thought I would ask and see if
someone can help me. So I have a Admin interface that is crashing.
The error that I am getting is:

how to save a forms.ModelForm with extra fields?

juj...@gmail.com (jul) — Thu, 12 Nov 2009 22:33:24 UT

I've got the Rating model and the AddRestaurantForm shown below. In
order to add a rating when submitting a new restaurant, I added an
extra field to AddRestaurantForm. Can I do that? If I can, how can I
save separately the Restaurant instance and the rating instance (I'll
get the user from the context)?

ke1g...@gmail.com (Bill Freeman) — Thu, 12 Nov 2009 21:23:13 UT

I haven't done rails, but my boilerplate is in a template that is
"extended" by the
page specific templates. In fact, I have multiple levels: section
specific boilerplate
templates that extend a site wide template, with the section specific templates
being extended by the page (type) specific templates.

Sorry - it should read:

b = Book.objects.get(id=1) #new book
request.user.get_profile().she lf1.add(b) #add book to shelf1
request.user.get_profile().she lf1.remove(b) #remove from shelf1

Re: Changing order in which inlines are displayed in Admin

joshuakarj...@gmail.com (joshuakarjala) — Thu, 12 Nov 2009 20:21:30 UT

checkout - [link]

I have used this in one project successfully - if you want drag'n'drop

Otherwise just add:

class Meta:
ordering = ('order',)

to you model - and the admin should adhere to the "order"

Hello all,

A little query I haven't been able to find an answer to in docs or
through Google.

I've got a little app on my site to create menus -- it's adapted
(updated to latest Django) from the menu app described at rossp.org.

Anyway, here are the classes defined in admin.py:

class MenuItemInline(admin.TabularIn line):

Just some quick ideas (after 10h of work, so watch out ;)):

1. You can write custom tag {%ifowned track request.user%}

2. You can try something less elegant:

{%for user in track.m2m_users.all%}
{%ifequal user request.user%}
<do what you want here>
{%endifequal%}
{%endfor%}

- but it's only good for small apps, as a temp solution.

Re: Increment a value in a database table field

scot.hac...@gmail.com (scot.hacker@gmail.com) — Thu, 12 Nov 2009 19:58:28 UT

You don't mention how you're tracking dates or weeks (is that a
related model, or... ?) but this would be the general idea:

- get the timestamp of the last update to that field and compare it to
the current timestamp

if ... : # interval is less than a week:
foo = MyModel.objects.get(...)

Dynamic tables?

Hi,

I'm trying to build a small app to create size charts like:

So each size chart need to have it's own number of necessary columns
and rows. And each size chart can be assigned to any amount of
brands.

So my models.py looks like
