return self.pub_date >= timezone.now() - datetime.timedelta(days=1)

anyone care to explain how this works?

I know what timezone.now() - datetime.timedelta(days=1) do

but >= ?

larger than or equal

greater than or equal

its basic math

hi jezdez great name for a german/usa keyboard

;)

I know what that is ..

I have a view for a login form, how can I include that on my home page?

it returns self.pub_date if it's greater than or equal timezone.now() - datetime.timedetla(days=1) ?

no, it returns a boolean that indicates whether it is greater than or equal

ok, thank you

why having request.LANGUAGE_CODE = 'fr-ca' in my view has no effect?

adamsilver, because that is not how you set your language?

ok.. the thing is i want to keep admin in english and change the frontend to french

yay

it's working

but: is there a way to split a form.as_table into two columns?

SO is there a django way to include the results of a view in another template?

only by looping the form, instead of using .as_table

Or is the recommended approach to use an ajax call

michaelfillier, views returns the result of a template - not the other way around :)

twoface: cool. Need to figure out how to loop the form.

twoface: so if I have a view for a login form, I basically can't include that in another template?

I have a mysterious problem: some of my tables mysteriously get truncated (i.e. all rows deleted).

Victim tables include auth_users and some of our own tables.

michaelfillier, it certainly sounds like the wrong solution - perhaps you should explain precisely what you are trying to do

My suspicion is I'm doing something stupid with Django or South or both.

But I have no idea what, and google has been no help at all.

gpaci, using .delete() anywhere?

I think so, yes.

I have a login form page and I want to open it in a modal. I figured an include would be the best, but the form shows up without form fields.

make sure you are not using it on non-filtered querysets

But not on those tables: they should never change. Much.

The template uses form.as_p but it seems like form is not available

michaelfillier, include only includes the template - you still need to provide the correct context

twoface, I just checked: we use delete() around 70 places, but never on auth_users or our vendors table.

gpaci, i've never heard of django just truncating tables, so i really wouldn't know where to start

Oh, and all our south migration history disappears for ONE app (a new one).

database cleanup scripts? replication gone bad?

twoface, No replication, not much cleanup. Maybe it's some mistake using South?

south doesn't delete rows

unless you have migrations that deleted models and creates them again - wouldn't know how you should have created them though

Have you ever heard of south migrationhistory disappearing?

not at all

twoface, Well, thanks for listening.

twoface: How can I do that, I already tried creating a variable in my home view - 'login_form': login(request,**login_dict) but the login_form variable still doesn't have any form fields.

gpaci: only when I delete it on purpose.

michaelfillier, login is not a form - unless it is wrongly named

login is a view, I thought creating a variable from a view that returns a render would work

Reading the django tutorial I came to --> p.choice_set.all() --> choice_set is syntax or?

michaelfillier, a view does not return a form - a view normally returns a httpresponse object

How would I setfirstweekday to a subclassed HTMLCal?

Bubo, if it is not syntax, what else would it be?

twoface: yeah, but my view loads a form, that doesn't work?

For instance, I made an event calendar by subclassing HTMLCal, but I forgot to setfirstweekday. Where do I need to go to add that functionality?

michaelfillier, how could it? you are trying to use a httpresponse as a form object

Bubo: whatever class p is has a class Choice that points to it.

Oh

p.choice_set means "all the Choice objects that have p as their P".

So

If it had a Foo class pointing to it

it would be foo_set ?

Yes.

twoface: here is the login view: http://dpaste.com/hold/839122/

Nice. thank you

twoface: it handles the form loading and passes it to the template

So the class Choice has a foreign key relation to the Poll one, and choice_set is used to populate the class Choice database with relation to the p.id

So Choice has a field that looks like this: models.ForeignKey(Poll) # if I recall the tutorial correctly, Polls have Choices

Yes

exactly

so it just makes the choice that I will set to a specific Poll

using the ForeignKey

Yeah.

aw, man

this is really tough

I have a form with lots of fields. I've ordered the fields. Now I want to split them up in between two columns. I figured I can do that with {% cycle %} but I'm at a complete loss.

p.choice_set.create(choice='Not much', votes=0) - to create a choice for the Poll. I don't need to run p.save() at the end to save the choices, right?

where should i save the custom Middleware?

michaelfillier, i can see that - but you can't include a view in another view like that

adamsilver, anywhere you want

twoface: what is the convention

adamsilver, i usually create a middleware.py in the app it pertains to

twoface: ok, thanks

Any idea why this; http://dpaste.org/dP82c/ would fail to insert a UserProfile? I know it's the save() in the model that causes it.

poll = models.ForeignKey(Poll, null=True) - is the right sintax to be able to have NULL in the foreignkey column ?

Bubo: -- yep

Drager: If you are inserting a new row, `self.id` will be None

you should put a `super(UserProfile, self).save()` in an else branch should the user not meet the qualifications on 39

latestrevision: That did the trick, thank you very much :)
