DjangoBot: #django

DigitalVibe: so I'm just not sure how ImageField can work for FileSystemStorage, and not for S3Storage

yeah, no worries

Im trying to install GEOIP with geodjango...I have the C APi and the python interface and i have doth the country and city datasets in a folder and I have pointed to them from mny settings file. but I cannot do this: from django.contrib.gis.utils import GeoIP

wmealing: Adobe AIR is objc?

SmileyChris: thanks, I'll look into that.

no no, photoslop and the rest.

i'm not explicitly, i've added them in my settings

ah

well, the app

and then did syncdb

yeah, ObjC looks nice

well then of course they don't show up, dexter

models do NOT show in admin by default

it looks.. a little different.. although i'm not sure i can write it on a ppc imac

something changed? :)

hence the tutorial explaining how to make them show up

as, thats all i have

no, its ALWAYS been this way

in old admin, no "class Admin: pass" = not in admin

in new admin, no registering = not in admin

that might be it, let me check my model

dmcgettigan: what do you get with: from django.contrib.gis.utils import geoip ?

wow that's new

sigh, just trying to keep up

thanks magus :)

only slightly new - the tutorial's always been there

springmeyer: Object `from django.contrib.gis.utils import geoip` not found.

just now it has the new directions for newforms admin

dexter: something you should also note, you now need to do admin.autodiscover() to get the standard admin tools to appear

Can I iterate through a slice of a list in a template? I see slice but I'm not sure how to use it in conjunction with for

that's in urls.py

digital: thanks, i think the new urls.py handles that

dexter: correct :)

*thank you* everyone, glad to see the community is so helpful

subsume: I've not tried this, but does {% for object in objects|slice:":2" %} work?

It seems that settings is loaded multiple times by the runserver command. I try to import another module in settings, and runserver command just exits when I try to load a page. Is there something to be aware of or avoid?

I created my first model, and manage.py syncdb gives no errors, when I then try to enable the model for admin view with 'from django.contrib import admin <cr> admin.site.register(Poll)' its not showing up in my admin view. admin it self shows up with groups users and sites but my admin section for that model doesnt. any ideas? im following the tutorial to a T, or at least I think.

what is the django template way to add meta description and other tags to pages?

Just do it?

maek: have you tried restarting the dev server, and clearing your browser cache?

i was following the template example, and they have a base template that has a bunch of stuff

and templates inherit that

from an inherited template, how would i add a meta tag to the parent?

Adoleo: I restarted the dev server, but no cache clean. let me try that.

jeffr: Define a block.

maek: do you have the admin.autodiscover() in urls.py?

that is what i was thinking too, but then i would have to have the whole meta tag in each sub template

is there a way to pass a variable up?

agent47a: yes, the admin site wasnt working at all until I added that.

jeffr: you could have a 'meta' CharField on your model, and then call something like <meta name="description" content="{{object.meta}}"> from the base.html

maek: do you have the "admin.site.register(Poll)" line listed /after/ you establish the model itself?

jeffr: Templates receive variables when they're rendered, using a template context.

Which typically comes from the view that's rendering the template.

Adoleo: yes, outside the class and after the model

maek: It sounds like it should be working right - maybe post your models.py on dpaste.com?

Adoleo: ok thanks, let me look at this for a bit ill see if its my model

in admin, my model has a headshot = models.ImageField(upload_to='images') and all is well with uploading the image (i can verify in my filesystem that the image shows up where intended).. the admin panel displays "Currently:" with a link to the current image (once the object is saved) and below it a "Change:" form allowing me to change the image. clicking on the current link throws a ValueError exception, "invalid literal for int() with bas

hi all...is there any docs about contrib.auth.views.password_reset_confirm, i couldn't find any...

Adoleo: im stupid, I forgot to install the app I want to admin :( thanks for the help

maek: Ha! It's always something incredibly simple - so simply you don't even think about it.

hmm, I think I'm doing something kooky: I have django installed with apache in the root, so <Location /> -- it seemed to have worked, but after that, following the tutorial, the administration page doesn't show any style, as if the CSS can't be found, and the "polls" app doesn't show

maek: Glad you figured it out.

HELP! NFA - I want to show only a subset of fields for a given model - in the admin. On post, I then want to populate the missing fields on the server side. Initial thoughts are to override the save_add method and set the new values on the new object before it is saved? However, there doesnt seem to be a way to do this? A call to Super.save_add does the form-> model conversion and the save in one go? What are my options?

Adoleo: indeed. thanks

kojiro: why are you using apache for the tutorial?

kojiro: but to solve your problem, you need to use Alias (and SetHandler None) to point to the admin media

SmileyChris: well, it's a virtual machine, so it's fairly harmless to try things -- I can always revert backwards stepwise

so I thought, "why not try to see how hard apache is to set up"

Hey guys

SmileyChris: ok, I'll give it a shot

anyone with experience using ImageField() from admin?

kojiro: it's easier to just use dev server, and most people like figuring one bit at a time, but feel free to hit it all at once :)

is there a way to specify cols and rows for a TextField model so that django can introspect it for the admin site?
