DjangoBot: #django

I hope you're not confusing apps and projects

Magus-: is it convention to create apps within an app? :P

of course not

Main -> Photos -> Tagging

that would be bad

word

tagging doesn't apply to only photos

It was a general example.

a poor one

if you say so

I am so used to CakePHP convention that I feel screwed up now when django provides more freedom

In Cake it was pretty strict in terms of organization which is actually kind of nice

nice? pfft

that's like saying java is better than c

lol

Does Django occasionally do an extraordinary amount of queries in some instances due to the lack of intelligence of its ORM? I know CakePHP would not realize there could be two queries that could chunk together data and end up doing 50+ queries.

e.g. Each book has a tag, instead of doing 1 query using all the book id's it does a query for each book

suhail: that depends on you

Not really, depends on the ORM

no

if you use the ORM as you're supposed to, it works great

if you do something like query a list of IDs and query id by id, it'll do one at a time

How will django know that it should ask for all the tags corresponding to a list of book id's as opposed to doing a query for each book id it fetches

if you just grab a queryset it's going to query one list

suhail: without you describing real models, real relations, and the query you try to do, we can't answer that

relations and query directions determine the actions

You said a query set can solve that?

no

you misunderstood what I was saying

I'm looking at the modeladmin reference and it says that a field can be set editable=False, but I'm not seeing where this goes. How do I change a field (ForeignKey) to not be editabel?
