[dokterbob] Introduction to Surlex

Tue, 13 Apr 2010 09:52:43 GMT

Surlex (Simple URL Expression) is a language for matching and extracting text, similar to regex (regular expression). It works by generating a regular expression from a more concise syntax that is designed to produce easy-to-read url patterns.

Tue, 17 Nov 2009 06:11:54 GMT

This snipped removes a specific field from the fieldsets. This is very useful to leave a field 'out' in the admin, likewise:

def get_fieldsets(self, request, obj=None):
    fieldsets = super(BlaModelAdmin, self).get_fieldsets(request, obj)

    if not request.user.has_perm('change_blah'):

[dokterbob] Django Guestbook application

Tue, 23 Dec 2008 12:07:38 GMT

The other day I've written a pluggable guestbook application for Django. It is fully functioning and loosely based on the Django comments contrib. Currently, I am using it on a small website (hansenpaul120.nl, Dutch) but more websites are soon to follow.

Current features:

Fully translatable (currently, only English and Dutch are available)
Fully integrated with the admin
Some barebone templates are supplied

More features will be added as soon as I am going to use this in more sites, or when you do so. Some of these features may include:

(Better) documentation.
Integration with Django syndication
Integration with Django email confirmation
Integration with Django User authentication

Installation should be pretty straight-forward for anyone who's installed a Django app before:

Get the source from GitHub by either cloning or downloading the archive.
Link the guestbook app into your project's tree:
```
ln -s django-guestbook/guestbook guestbook
```

Add the app to your INSTALLED_APPS in settings.py:

INSTALLED_APPS = (
    ...
    'django.contrib.admin',
    'guestbook',
)

Add the guestbook app to your urls.py:

urlpatterns = patterns('',
    ...
    (r'^guestbook/', include('guestbook.urls')), 
)

Update the database structure:
```
./manage.py syncdb
```
You're done! Go and test your app by running:
```
./manage.py runserver
```

Feel free to provide feedback on the current state of the project, and perhaps on what features you might like. In any case, expect a more complete HOWTO here.

The app's source code can be found here on GitHub and the source for the hansenpaul120.nl website is here. The latter might be a good place to see how the guestbook application can be used.

[visualspace] Default to current/all sites in admin

Sun, 12 Oct 2008 04:43:14 GMT

This code sets the default sites for a sites ManyToMany property of a model to Site.objects.all(). This could easily be changed to Site.objects.get_current() to use the current site as default.

Surely, we should be able to use default=[Site.objects.get_current() in the model but apparently ...
